: MediaTakeOut.com has heard some interesting theories on what caused the world’s economic crisis – but this is OVER THE TOP!!!
According to one top economist, Beyonce Knowles is responsible for global recession. Here’s how it’s being reported in a UK newspaper:
Beyoncé's worldwide hit, Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It), is not just catchy – it may spell doom for international finance.Our girl Bey can never catch a break ….According to findings by Phil Maymin, professor of finance and risk engineering at New York University, the more regular the beat on Billboard's top singles, the more volatile the American markets. After studying decades of Billboard's Hot 100 hits, Maymin found that songs with low "beat variance" had an inverse correlation with market turbulence. Which is to say, the more regular the song, the crazier the stock market.
And Single Ladies is very regular.
"If it's a steady beat, the same beat, no matter if it's fast or slow, that's a low beat variance song," Maymin explained to PRI Radio. These are the songs that signal market volatility. "[But] if [the song] starts off slow and becomes fast and comes back down, that's a high beat variance." And it means the markets will be steady.
Some of history's steadiest hits – such as A-Ha's Take On Me – were released at times of market crash. Whereas complex songs, "with all these beat changes and stuff", seem to catch on when the markets are sedate.
"The correlation is pretty strong," Maymin argued. Weirder still, the beat variance of songs seems to predict the markets - not the other way around. According to his research, the market becomes unstable only after the charts are full of steady tunes - almost as if certain hits can cause market shake-ups.
This is clearly a fluff piece 2ndly There's no way to tell if the chicken comes before the egg. It is far more likely that the public is more comfortable with lower beat variance songs in times of recession which make them more popular rather than the low beat variance songs making the public buy less.
And I can't believe I just defended that theiving idiot. And her camel faced thug husband
I know we like to blame Beyonce for being an self-absorbed entertainer, as well as a swagger jacker. I could go on, but you get the gist. For this fool to blame her for global recession, (HA) Now this has got to be a damned joke!
Why is the name of the UK paper not listed? Most importantly why is this not in Wall Street Journal, New York Post, USA Today some reputable newspaper?
You guys at (MTO) are the biggest clowns for even reporting and posting some *** like this??
OK, so all these other big songs that came out by white artist had nothing to do with it. Just when the black artist come out with a nice songs, it causes a RECESSION?
Why black folks always gotta be the cause of something going wrong when white folks are the reason we're in the positions that we are in now.....
that's stupid, that fat bytch aint got that much power!
But what is true is people who buy her dumb music has totally *** up the music industry cause her dumb azz *** music has set a new standard, so that good music is now not bought and not in, and bad music like hers is selling like crazy, the dumber the music, the more successful that artist is..dumb music flies off the shelf, good music with artists who has the most beautifully god gifted voices can't sell in this market full of dumb people buying dumb ***.
LMAO!!! THIS IS SO STUPID!!! Okay Touch My Body *** Love in the Club were low regular beats and the market was WWAAAYYYY BETTTER this time last year then now!
DONT blame Beyonce because yall idiots cant keep the Economy in shape hell all the economist are responsible of this because most countries listen to their advice to shape the countries economy!
GO BEY!
This is one of the most idiotic things i've heard.. The economy is this way because of the Sub-Prime ***... Look it up. Yes beat variations may show a pattern but you can't soley blame an artist for the collaspe of the economy.
What are they gonna blame Beyonce for next? World hunger? Eathquakes? Get real ppl
@bigymvp.......ur music is nice! keep up the good work. @The topic......This whole story is faker than a 3dolla bill!!! Makes no dam sense!!! Her cd was trash anyway so who cares! But I do bump hello, halo, and why dnt you love me......Faithfully!!!! lmaoooooo! beyonce got 3 or 4 nice cuts out of 17 songs. smdh
MORE MTO FOOLISHNESS. YEAH RIGHT STUPID *** UH-OH SONGS CAN PREDICT THE MARKET. WTF? HOW MANY STUPID *** SONGS CAN YOU MAKE WITH "UH-OH" OR "OH-OH" IN THE LYRICS? CAN YOU MAKE AN ENTIRE CD WITH UH-OH, OR OH OH OH OR HO HO HO IN EVERY EFFING SONG? JUST CALL IT I AM THE UH-OH BYTCH. OR "BEYONCE THE UH-OH YEARS" BHWAHAHAHAHA!!!
ok wow giving her too much credit please she the cause the recession. You can blame Beyonce for many things like stealing songs, swagger-jacking,and not writing song and putting her name on it, but come on this recession on Beyonce I don't think so. The person to blame is BUSH that's it BUSH NOT BEYONCE.
Horrible songs by people who can't sing, will cause finances to tizzle. It's a fact. As with every recession, the only chart popping is the Country charts. To you record heads and radio, it's time for some new blood. The same music over and over on radio is not going to do it. There are far more talented artists than Beyonce, Lil Wayne, Chris Brown, RiRi and the other usual talentless/vocally changelled suspects.
TRANSLATION FOR SLOW PEOPLE ::::
If you look closely you will see that the Professor was never quoted as saying Beyonce's SOng . MTO twisted that to then twist your opinion , about a guy who is more than likely more educated than my self and 99% of people out there .
2. Read the article real close again . Pretty much what he is saying is that you get brainwashed with certain tracks .
3.Wether I agree with him or not , he has alot of data to back it up . He is a Professor and he has been studying patterns for years , You know Like Graphs and spreadsheets.
4. He is not saying that these songs caused a GLobal Recession , what he is saying is that coincidently the market historically has been weak when ever there is a low beat variance song at the same time .
5. Read between the Lines
It could be a country song an R&b track or what not , he meant it from a general standpoint .
wooooow, thas another way of saying "this black woman is making TOO much money". y wont u say dat about Brittney Spears. im pretty sure she's made A LOT of low beat variance songs. And if thas de case, de WHOLE music industry is responsible 4 de recession if u wanna get technical. *** dis dude above mi takin his side. *shaking my head*
yall......*** is this ***?? *** i guess next bey will be either the fkucn anti christ or the *** from babylon dressed in scarlett? whomever the person is that is wasting time studying her and reporting it must be obsessed with bey. beef up ya security bey, cause evidentally you got a lunatic after you....jigga might need to bring the hood out in him and protect his wife like T.I. did....
