Beyoncé is Queen

 
Every magazine she graces, every new song released, it's no doubt that Beyoncé can do no wrong. I have never seen an article or entertainment news  video, shaming her body, her fashion, or her choices.  And it hit me, when did Beyoncé become this embodiment of perfect? I have never dislike Beyoncé and  I think she's a talented artist, and a beautiful woman with a seemingly perfect life.  But I realized that this OPINION  of Beyoncé  started becoming a fact and  I questioned how the role of media played a part in making  Beyoncé this 'perfect' being. 

The media portrays Beyoncé as perfect, so undoubtedly the outcome is that majority of society finds her to be perfect too.   

One of her songs is called "pretty hurts". It's a very empowering song to women  and tells of the  pain that  girls and women go through  because of the standards of society. This connects with the documentary Missrepresentation because  women who suffer from objectification  are most commonly women celebrities.  Beyoncé, although found favorable in mainstream media's eyes, has not escaped the  common objectification of women. 

Beyoncé who has many young girls as a part of her fan base was the perfect singer to send the message on how hard it is to be girl.  It teaches an important message that not every girl is perfect and that its impossibly hard to try and live up to a perfect that we can never reach.
