I don't think it's fair to refer to Beyoncé as Janet Jackson 2.0. First of all, the sequel is rarely better than the original and secondly Beyoncé is way more talented than Ms. Jackson (if you're nasty). As a straight noob in his 60's who's only known the singer as Foxxy Cleopatra, my Beyoncé experience was nothing short of surprising. This girl has got some pipes and the beats, song ... errr music(?) backing her up is intelligent, creative and full of life.
