    Your emotional response to this was genuine. I felt that. As a Black woman, it was so amazing to see and hear the video. It was a celebration of our culture. It was political. It was a call to action in a sense. Honestly I think that Lemonade was her best visual.
    Until she decides to bless us with Renaissance visuals. 🤣🤣

    Warms my heart to see people open their hearts and minds to something they wouldn’t otherwise experience. Beyoncé has a lot to say - not only in her music, but a lot of the time specifically in her visuals - and I think you caught a glimpse of it. Thank you for sharing your genuine, emotional reaction to that. Bey can be fun, she can be pop, she can be dancey, but too often her narrative is discredited. I’m glad you got to live in it for a moment. :) I can see many have already suggested it, but I’d recommend watching the Lemonade film. It’s quite a ride. :)

  • @rennan8408

    I’m so glad you actually listened to her message. I think that most people tend to just listen to the song and not experience the message. that’s why I LOVE beyonce. She always has an intention with her music. It always has a story. I’d love too see your reaction to the Lemonade film she did or Black is king. You got a new subscriber here! That actually made me emotional seeing that you also saw the impact of the message!!

    this was a beautiful reaction ❤️ Beyoncé is a brave artist. for her to be as big of a celebrity as she is and not be afraid to speak up about issues is so commendable. she performed this song for the first time at the 2016 Super bowl ONE day after releasing it, and she had the dancers dress as the Black Panthers…very brave to be that political at such a huge event! she got a lot of backlash from racists for it, it was crazy! but i’m glad she never let that stop her from speaking up, she still does til this day!

    What I always liked about this video is there's this touch of Southern Gothic to it - it's a celebration of Black culture, but there's always this undercurrent of the crises that have rocked the South in the last 20 years. I get that feeling with the "Sorry" video too.

    • @oldladybangers

      Yes, it's a bit like Childish Gambino's This Is America. You have to keep watching it to see everything in it. And then think hard about the different interpretations and ideas that could come out of it. It's so so good.

    Thanks for reacting to Beyoncé's music. To understand her talent best you should look at her Coachella performance. She was the first black female to headline and this song, Formation, was artfully arranged. People try to dismiss Beyoncé, but they fail to understand that performing live is what separates a good artist from a legendary artist. Michael Jackson vs Beyoncé as the GOAT is a legit question. The only name who may be added to this list is a young Korean man named Jungkook. These three have mastered the art of performance. There are better technical singers, but no greater live performers/vocalist.

    • @oldladybangers
