This reaction was sooo lit!!!🔥🔥🔥You are a whole vibe, and that scream was so valid! You're grandma is a vibe too, she was smiling throughout the perfomance. ✨️
You had the best reaction I would have love to be there with u they was hype enough 😅
I love your mom
Jesus Christ is the Lord that gave us Beyonce and weaves, wigs, lashes... Yo Momma need to stop. Mother Dear gets it, but your momma...gurllllll
As a mother, the performance was excellent, period
I’m glad your mom at least let everyone enjoy it. We are entitled to our opinion but give credit where it’s due because misinformation is at an all time high and the demonization is enough coming from elsewhere. The song blackbird has a special history that made the moment so much more powerful for me. May she continue to try to uplift blk women spirits in the face of adversity even in our homes.
Great reaction. We just posted a reaction showing the symbolism Beyonce used in this performance rooted in Hoodoo: African-American Ancestral Religion: ua-cam.com/video/5FfQM7DgZUY/v-deo.html
Religion really messed us up
LINDA!!! Eu amei sua reação!!! Sou brasileira e a gente é igual você!
Its was so sad to see someone trying to enjoy good music only to be surrounded by Holier than Thous.
you got some haters in your house lol
granny was having a great time we love to see it
❤❤❤
Your reaction was everything!!! Glad you're a Beyonce fan and at least your granny and the gentleman sitting next to you appreciated Bey's excellence!
Black people you don’t have to hate Beyoncé. The performance was excellent
As a black person when you reach a certain level of success and become appealing to races outside of the black community best believe your own people will hate you for it. They did it with MJ and Whitney
Just because you praise Jesus doesnt mean everything in your life has to be about Jesus. If you believe in God, then realize that God made Beyonce and God gave her the talent. Whats the problem?
Jesus is lord. That’s the truth
Your mother needs to educate herself on country culture in itself so she can understand the performance. She's judgmental. The type that would drive a new Christian away from the church.
So proud of Beyonce. God bless
My grandma would’ve been rocking with me too! She used to love her some Erika Badu! 😂
Love the family gathering, but honestly, I couldn’t watch the whole video. It was just hard to enjoy the reaction I’m not gonna say what caused me not to finish but I think it’s obvious😅 but your family is very beautiful
Jay Z and Beyoncé have been intertwined with P Diddy and should not be entertaining at the NFL.
Sorry but the other lady sound really ignorant. Jesus is lord...of course, Glory to God, Jesus is Lord. So how does that take away from the superstar or her excellent performance. A height of ignorance was partly displayed there..sorry but true
I love your energy. And is nice you feel confident to express yourself.
@@ILoveManCity. thanks so much! I’m a confident gal through & through
Loved your reaction!!!! But your mama bout to get you cancelled! #ijs She do know that Beyoncé is PRO BLACK LIVES right?!?! #WhooChiiiiile
Lmao it’s them in the back with hand signals and conspiracy theories for me 😂
That was so annoying 🤣
Pretty girls love Bey.
cristians are so poor of thinking omg go LIVE A LIFE OMG
Does a football game glorify God lord people pick and choose I hope she didn’t watch the game either which they have that right to
Super Christian are so miserable
Tell your mom it is ok to accept black excellence. We get to attain excellence because we have to work thrice as much to get half the recognition due us. It is the effort and dedication we put in things we do that result in the excellence like Beyonce's. We should accept and celebrate us, not be ashame or demonize us.
The whole Blackbird song reminds me of the "Waka" genre of music in Nigeria. It's often a dirge-like way of singing. Country music came from Africa, the Nigeria origin of country music cannot be disputed. Every part of Beyonce's singing reminds me of old school local music genres of Nigerian tribes. Not the ones marketed to the world, the ones in local languages. Shaboozey is a testimony.
Country music is BLACK AMERICAN CULTURE! THIS IS OUR CULTURE!
Your mother not realizing that blackbird is written by Paul McCarthy about the 4 black girls KILLED in a church in the 1960’s is absolutely disgusting! Saying Jesus is Lord, which is true, but thinking it’s an evil thing is absolutely ridiculous! - a 51 year old woman who mother is also black but CULTURALLY aware.
Granny in the yellow was feeling it 😂❤
She sure was
That guy said it- She was definitely making a point. Having an all-black ensemble, she was telling the white country musicians, remember, it was BLACKS, that started country music, and I'm going to make sure you don't forget it.
Yupl! That’s my dad! He was stunned!
People must not have an unshakable faith if they have to proclaim Jesus is Lord just so they don’t feel convicted from liking a BEYONCÉ performance lol like that has nothing to do with Beyoncé and everything to do with a lack of faith in your own God. Like that’s very strange that that’s the first thing your mom said lol
These wigs are fantastic
Bye 😂😂
So that “Jesus Christ Is Lord” lady wouldn’t go see a Broadway musical? I bet her church is full of hypocrites 😂😂🙄 plus she’s not even being honest & can’t say the performance was executed well even if it isn’t her thing🤦🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
Look at the GUY.
Beyoncé is doing the Hook 'Em sign from the University of Texas at Austin. It represents a Longhorn, their mascot. People that are from Texas do it all the time, even if they didn't go to that school & like them. Beyoncé has worn gear from that school.
She’s actually throwing up the H for Houston. It’s the same signal but in this context, she’s representing her city, not UT. Also when he counts at the beginning of YaYa she says “tre” for 3rd Ward also known as The Tre.
@@manifestnow888That sign is synonymous with the city of Houston and the University of Texas or the State in general. Y'all are both right.
@@slushymatis I’m a Houstonian. Not trying to be overly territorial but I’m giving context. Suggesting she’s representing UT when she’s not associated with the school vs her being from Houston performing IN Houston where the use of the sign is as common as it’s humidity is why I brought it up. Even in other performances when she’s referencing Houston, same thing. Her use of slab cars in the show is also a distinctly Houston cultural thing if you want to get even more technical about it. Never known it to represent Texas as a whole
@@manifestnow888 Yeah ,I wasn't suggesting that she was representing UT. I said the sign is synonymous with UT. If you're from the Houston area, the sign can mean you're throwing up "The H." Or it could just mean you're just representing Texas in general. I'm very familiar with Texas culture as well.
@i was alluding to the original poster saying she was doing Hook ‘em when it makes no sense. You come saying we’re both right is why my response is laid out the way it is. And speaking of schools that band was none other than TSU’s Ocean of Soul. Yes it’s a school in Houston. She uses representation wisely. I’ll leave it there
I really liked most of your family's reactions, especially the beautiful older lady and the man that was sitting beside you. I couldn't hear what everybody was saying. But those people definitely got it. Beyoncé is a Christian. In her last Grammy speech, she thanked God for protecting her. Beyoncé always prays before her performances. She asked God to bless everyone after this performance. I'm a Christian, too. I have come to the conclusion; I will never be one of those judgmental or slanderous Christians. Those without sin throw the first stone. Somebody truly has to physically or mentally hurt people for me not to like them. That one lady acting like something was evil because people had on a veil and cowboy hat on. I'm thinking if you want to see some real evil read about King Leopold. Or the Missouri governor letting a Black man be executed although it was a lot of evidence that he was innocent. I'm very tired of people being shallow-minded. People don't try to understand history, art, & metaphors. Like Beyoncé is literally doing the Hook 'Em sign that the University of Texas at Austin does. It's a very popular sign that many Texans do, even if they didn't go to that school. Beyoncé has worn gear from that school. It's like stopped being spooked over the simplest things. Like the Deltas basically do the Roc Sign, which is a Delta sign in math. The Roc Sign is supposed to represent a diamond. No Christian is perfect we may slip up sometimes, but it doesn't mean that we don't put our faith in God, and don't try to follow most of want he wants us to do.
I love your reaction and all the real family energies 😂 It just was a little hard to hear over your voice which we enjoyed also btw 😭
😂😅
Lol your granny is so cute ❤ This was me watching with my fam too 😂😂
Oh brother 🙄. I can’t stand folks who are so holy & saved they’re dumb af. How are they acting like a performance that is celebrating Black culture is bad or demonic? They need to ask themselves why they view Black culture & an excellent Black performer that way. The white Jesus indoctrination has warped many Black Christian’s minds.
Mom 🤦🏾♀️
Loved your reaction. Very authentic. You know exactly what you’re talking about. You keep being you. The fam needs to support.
Thanks!! ❤
it really be your own people
Girl is the one that asks questions through the whole movie
Yall need to learn from granny. Talked through the whole thing and didn’t listen !
