Modern Pop music is producer driven. With so many hands in the cookie jar, it's obvious there is going to be multiple input. Everybody's wants co writing credit, it's called royalties. This should be nothing new. I say she's a songwriter because I remember watching some old footage with my wife of her and as a teenager and she had a book or two of material. Of course once you get in the studio they have to craft it into a hit or workable song. The producer brings his ideas to the table ($$$) and any pop artist is lucky to contribute 50% to the process. This is no longer a personal endeavor, this is a business and there are millions at stake so things will be crafted, pre written, tweaked and previewed before release. Just like your HT3's probably aren't 100% Jim Salk, there's a little D. Murphy in there and who knows what other concepts, ideas Salk borrowed or studied to bring the final product to your ears.
I can understand if her voice doesn't move you, that's personal, there's always a better singer. Go to Hudson's church and you'll find 3 more singers just as good and 5 better. I know that, that's a given to me, very few can sing better than those with the gospel/soul background IMO.
You have to give people credit for their talents and hard work, not everyone can be Beyonce or Hudson. They've made it for a reason, all aspects of them considered. To dismiss either due to their looks is "Entertainment Tonight"
Again, a better case would be Jessica Simpson or Britney Spears. I think they fit your example better. Beyonce is much more talented than either of them.
What kinda discussion are we having here, Beyonce is living her dreams, has sold 100 million records, done world tours and now making movies. There has to be talent there, if not then where do I sign up. I simply have little critic for those lucky people as long as they are happy and not hurting anyone. I am not a Jessca Simpson fan but she's doing her thing and as long as she doesn't lose too much integrity and plays fair in life, what can I say, I have my own life to worry about.
As The kids say: Stop Hatin'
You saw the movie and bought the album, Thumbs Up
Sit back and "Listen" to Beyonce and Jennifer, they both have something to offer.
