          It is obvious that reading about Beyoncé can never be a drag to someone who is a proud member of the Beyhive (her fans). In the review the Rolling Stones has done for her legendary performance at the MTV VMA’s, made it clear that her performance was absolute perfection. In this review they have used the claim of value, to establish that they think her performance was amazing. While this credible source has said Beyoncé’s performance was the highlight of the night, one may argue and establish their own claim that there was, in fact, a performer who outshined Beyoncé that night. Ethos was already established because the Rolling Stones is known to be a credible source and the writer of this review established Beyoncé’s ethos by presenting the reader of her past accomplishments to prove to the reader that she is truly a talent. Logical evidence was not used in this review, as the reader can see the writer was all for Queen Bey and her performance, however the author of this piece had a large pool of examples as to why this iconic performance was absolutely wonderful and can be a topic of conversation. Pathos may have been found when the author mentioned the singer’s daughter and the words she had said to express her feelings toward her mother. Blue Ivy said, “Good job, mommy” (1), and to some of the readers those words could connect at an emotional level. As one can see some reviews are positive and some negative, however all reviews must use certain techniques to appeal to an audience.
