Entertainment: More successful: Jay-Z or Beyonce?

I don't listen or appreciate either of they're music, but they certainly have few role models for they're marriage.  This sounds an awful lot like the Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown marriage.  Whitney actually had moderate talent in that instance.  I'm not sure Beyonce has that...  and most of what I have heard of Jay-Z has not impressed me.  I'm more concerned about the marriage then about the money and talent.  I could be wrong... there have been a few lasting media marriages... though I can't think of any.  If I were famous I would probably make a choice when I got married to leave the limelight and pay to live on an island.  Public scrutiny destroys a relationship more then anything.  The man becomes an object of lust for other women if success continues and you could hit a career bump or crater and end up a joke.  If the woman has talent and is a huge ego then that can be a huge blow to self esteem to a person who also has similar qualities.  The movie "Sunset Blvrd." comes to mind. That isn't very sexy.  Might be a good idea to avoid fame at all costs.  Personally I just want to be filthy rich.

I'm not a big fan of either of their music but I do think they are both successful business people. They both were and continue to be marketable and I think their getting married will only raise the stakes in what a person will be willing to pay for their company/music/guest appearance/etc.

both

I personally dislike both people's music but in terms of success, I think they are great business people. They cater to what the public wants and are able to make a financial killing as a result.

Beyounce well because she beautiful she's got a good voice and the girl can dance.
