This video accomplished just what I intended for it to do, ruffling people’s feathers. I posted this out of boredom and I’m glad I did 😂😂 Some of y’all shouldn’t take other people’s opinions of a celebrity so seriously. Or music. This is all entertainment and you don’t have to agree. It’s ok if you don’t. My opinions won’t change lol. My opinion for this particular topic remains. Beyoncé is not a country singer. Texas Hold ‘Em is a nice song, but it ain’t country music. Y’all have a great day! 😁❤️
It is a country song regardless of who is singing it. Beyonces not a country singer, she’s an artist and she did in fact release country songs. You’re opinion is factually wrong :) but saying u just wanted to ruffle peoples feathers shows your lack of attention u get in real life. It is all entertainment so that means I’m allowed to go against what u saying 😂 anyways Beyoncé COUNTRY song is set to go #1 ORGANICALLY
@@patriciamcherrin8365no as an artist u can make whatever song u want in any genre u want. Nobody owns any genre of music so long as u do it tastefully and she does. Just cuz she’s rich doesn’t mean u get to stifle her and box her into 1 thing
@@itzcandy5896nothing in the music industry is “organic” 😂😂 that’s why she hasn’t gotten Album of the Year yet. I don’t even worship her like others do, and I definitely think she deserves to at least have won it once in her career
I don't know what happened there. I was tired. I corrected it: Exactly!!! She is honoring her ancestors by singing a genre that also came from them. So stop!
Exactly! You said it perfectly! When people like Beyonce do things like this, she is opening doors for people who look like you and me. Her bank account will definitely say she's a country singer, pop singer, r&b, rock & roll, and so on..... whatever she wants to sing, her bank account will touch and agree, lol The Beyhive has spoken. Period!
Miley Cyrus did hip hop and it was played on the “urban” stations, she did pop and country on other stations as well. Plenty artists have cross over music. I don’t see a problem.
No she did not do hip hop. Name a song that she rapped. Just because she was shaking her butt , does not mean it is hip hop. Hip hop is a culture , rap is the culture music.
@@ThaytMomumm since you think you are so smart she wrapped in feeling myself with will I am also 23 with juicy J she in fact did hip hop. Speak on what you know
Miley had collaborations.. I've spice had collaborations with Taylor Swift.. lil Nas x came out country and was fully accepted .. darius Rucker was accepted fully as a black country artist and won awards for it.. but Beyonce just did it alone and did not life the country music life style and it's fake as can be
Country music singers have been crossing genres for decades, Taylor Swift was country, Jewel, Kerry Underwood, Faith Hill ect why can’t it go the other way, Lil’ Nas had a “country” song🤷♀️
Beyonce is an artist creating art. Artists study various art forms to better their craft. Beyonce is at a place in her career she doesn't care what people think. She is just having fun and creating art. If you don't like it, don't listen to her. Artists should never be put in a box. When people like her do things like this, she is opening doors for people who look like her.
But it’s OK because they were white. This is all about racism. Stop hating us for our greatness you need to get on your knees and talk to God he made us this way.😂
I 100% agree. Everyone saying “Beyonce has a right to make country music” is completely missing the point. Of course she does. No one is saying she doesn’t. What she doesn’t have a right to is airtime on country stations. Country stations are catering to a country audience who expect to hear legitimate country artists who make country albums and play at country concerts. They aren’t down for the A-list pop stars that play on every other station to make 1 or 2 songs with an acoustic guitar to now invade their airwaves, and the DJs know this so they don’t play them. This isn’t anything personal or unique to beyonce it happens in every music scene, just like the jazz stations aren’t going to start playing Adele just because she comes out with one jazzy tune
They had no problem having non-black pop singers song's there. Miley and Taylor Swift were never even as country as Beyonce with this album yet here we are...
@@Ignasimp (1) This isn't a country album. Actual lyrics from the album: "I ain't in no gang gang but I got shooters and I bang bang" on "Spaghetti"; "Bounce on this sh_t dance dance, Bounce on this shi*t dance dance" on "Riverdance" -- the electronic drums, the synths, the layered Enya or Imogen Heap-esque vocals on virtually every track, the slapped funk bass and sub hip hop bass lines... Being generous, it has 4 country songs -Texas Hold'em, Protector, Jolene, Just for Fun - out of the 27 tracks on the album. Have you listened to this album? (2) Taylor Swift actually was once upon a time a legitimate country artist. She made country albums, out of Nashville, from a country label, played acoustic guitar and sang about her everyday life. Multiple country albums. No synths, no sub bass, no trap drums. Genuinely country. (3) Miley Cyrus was played on country stations? Go listen to this album by Beyonce; it isn't a country album. It's not a bad album but it's just not the genre known as "country." It's mostly like the rest of Beyonce's albums but with a running gimmick throughout talking about horses and bandits and poker and other stereotypically western imagery in the lyrics
@@Ignasimp thank you for speaking truth Beyonce is the most country of them but because she is black she gets no fucking recognition like I'm so tired of this bullshit🐝🐝🔪🔪🔪
No, she’s not a country singer but she MADE a country song therefore, country stations should play her country song. No one is asking for her to be inducted into the country hall of fame, they just want to hear the song on the radio. Music should be enjoyed without the need for “labels”. Art is ART at the end of the day.
Yeah... This girl is twisted. Background music?? WTF have you listened to her album/s?? This girl is naive and sadly out of touch with music history. Wow it's just such a ridiculous argument. Beyonce' can do what she wants and she's god damn good at it. Genius really. What a silly take by this girl..
@@Adrok23thank you also Beyonce deserves every right I just hate how if she was white people wouldn't have said anything versus because shes black and that's not common in the country industry people wanna tear her down NO ONE MESSESS WITH THE QUEEN🐝🐝🔪🔪🔪
Just because you want to say it’s country doesn’t mean it country. Just like how folks wanna try to rap and say it hip hop rap when it’s clearly not. Am I saying she can’t sing. Why hell no because she clearly can. Some ppl just don’t want to accept the fact that race isn’t why it’s NOT being played on country stations. That’s just a ignorant cop out.
@@CapricornsGrooveYou must have missed the part where it has absolutely nothing to do with race and everything to do with that song ain't country! Puting some bangos in the background of your song doesn't make it automatically country, regardless of race!!
@@richcampbell6808Wrong what? White people think country music is white music and it’s never been. She’s about to have folks crying and I’m here for it!!!! Yesss Queen
@@Shante-330 Are you delusional? 150 people are in the country music hall of fame ONLY 3 ARE BLACK! . Keep pretending blacks are part of country music Lol. Beyonce will never be played on country music stations .
This is gatekeeping energy. Art is supposed to be free. As an artist she’s very much allowed to cross. She’s done country before on her lemonade album. Shes from TEXAS & one of her first show was at a rodeo for gods sakes. People need to knock it off.
It's got nothing to do with her. It's the fact that the song itself is not country, it may "sound" country but it's not and many actual country music listeners are mad and disgusted that Texas hold em is being called country. It's not country, it's not pop country, and it's not pop. This song is just trash, the lyrics make no sense and there's no real story behind it. The only thing that helps this song is the beat, that is literally it
She's allowed to make any type of music she wants. The thing is tho she hasn't made anything country as of yet. I'd love to hear a real country song from her, but I haven't.
No? We didn’t say she couldn’t try other genres, all were saying is she’s simply not a country artist. None of her music is even remotely country, and it’s not abt racism or hate keeping those are just the facts! Y’all pull the race card everytime
The lyrics, clothes, and messages are not typical of country music. She's crossing over to country. She dipped her toes in it. But its not mainstream country.
Houston has rural, urban, suburbs and xurban areas. We still have cattle next to homes and schools out by beltway 8, fm 521, and hirises that overshadow old freeman's town. We have country dives, historic Black neighborhoods next to top tech corporations. Houston encompasses so much..don't ever say Houston doesn't have country in it. We still have century old historic trail rides still coming from Southside areas.
@@babygirla5717 It's not. It's basically the Atlanta of Texas. Nothing country about it. You have to leave the city to even see a tree. It may be near Houston, but it's not Houston. Once we got to rural it wasn't Houston anymore. Different town name entirely.
I thought in this world we live making an issue of colour was frowned upon if we believe the narrative then a person has got to no1 fact why is colour part of the story?
If people like it, that's great. It's not my favorite. Beyonce's not my favorite, talented as she is, she's just not my style. However anyone likes or doesn't like it though, Texas hold'em is not a country song.
It’s not about being a country music artist, it’s about making the music your creative spirit directs you to. You cannot tell a person that comes from a clan of sheep herders not to become a cattle rancher or car dealer for that matter. She has not told anyone she’s a country musician or that she’s becoming one. She has only done what most can’t, which is do what the hell what you want if it makes yourself and many millions genuinely happy!
Beyonce isn’t a country singer. Her songs aren’t country. That said, neither is 95% of what receives radio play on country stations in the US. The vast majority is overproduced, repetitive, algorithmic pop with a country-ish sound. The current state of country, Beyonce being no different, is exactly the reason many country fans stopped listening and supporting the genre. I personally only stick to Texas and folk country anymore.
She wasn't an actor either, but she did it. Artists can perform in any medium they choose. After all, "We's free now." If someone tells you to stay out of something that they don't own in the first place and you do it, you become their slave and they your master.
@@staceymims4759 Heck, 70% of singers wouldn't have a career if they were judged on real talent. They can be mediocre because they're selected to push occultic agendas just like presidents & other officials.
Well, you was right about one thing in this video. Beyoncé is not a country music artist. She is an artist that has been using country, tween a yodeling and her music for years. She’s performed with a lot of country artist throughout the years and have always shown her undying love for country music which is also similar to blues and also gospel which is something that Beyoncé have also done in the past so I think she has I am the right and her 27 year career to do whatever the heck she wants to do!
She IS NOT A country singer. Yes she can make a "country song" or a song with a "country vibe." I love Bun-B but he's a RAPPER and he played the banjo on her songs. And it's NOT ABOUT RACE! It's about her just trying to jump on the "bandwagon" with country music. Country music makes more money. That's what she wants, and causing this controversy in music is getting her more attention, and that what she wants. More money and more attention.
Plenty of artists genre hop. Plenty of white artists rap. I did promo for a black punk band. It shouldn’t matter who does what genre. This whole entire conversation is goofy. If you don’t like the album, then don’t listen. However telling an artist they don’t need to express themselves in a particular form of music is goofy.
Because y’all bring it up!! All you people do is pull the race card everytime someone doesn’t agree with you or says something you don’t like. Like this comment is funny coming from the demographic of ppl that always blame everything on being black!
Nobody has tried to stop Beyonce from singing what she wants to. Texas hold'em is not a country song though. It doesn't matter if Beyonce says that it is, that doesn't mean it's something that it isn't.
The issue isn't that she's not a country artist, the issue is that they're not country songs. As you said, it takes more than background music (and cliché phrases...). It's catchy, but it ain't country. Kane Brown? Black. Country. Race ain't the issue.
Lionel Richie not only had a country hit but, he also wrote the song "Lady" for Kenny Roger's a country music singer which became one of his biggest hits. Music is universal and we have always had crossover singers. Please stop trying to change the narrative. Music is Music and Beyonce is from Texas 😅❤
What does being from Texas have to do with anything? It doesn't make her country. Do you think all Texans ride horses to school and live on ranches on the outskirts of town? Besides, she's from Houston. That's as far from country as you can get in Texas.
Beyonce is not country. Her and her team submitted those songs to the pop genre. So it wasn't even on the country radar. Thats why the stations didn't play the music. She's intentionally creating controversy as a marketing ploy...and it's working.
She’s not intentionally creating controversy, y’all start controversy about her no matter what she does lol and yes it is working cuz of her haters as usual
@@itzcandy5896 Who is yall? You don't know me 😆 Every fact is not hate. You're just mad because I'm not blindly praising your idol. I don't do idolatry. May God be with you.
Beyoncé performed a song with the Dixie Chicks at the Country Music Awards. People had a hissy fit over that. Even the Dixie Chicks said that they were treated in a weird way backstage. Folks had a problem w/Beyonce.
Nope Dixie chicks got canceled yearsss and years ago by country music and listeners because of something they did and was never accepted back... So when the dixie chicks brought Beyonce .. they got backlash because they are not wanted anymore period
@@GodHelpUsNow777Nope, that is not what happened. The country people had a problem with Beyonce being up there and they said so. If it was about the Dixie Chicks they would have still been blackballed and not on stage.
I don’t give Beyoncé any hate for wanting to make a country song. I give the song she came up with hate because it’s terrible but she’s getting loads of praise for it just because she’s Beyoncé
Being from the South does _not_ make one country. Gap Band is from Tulsa. Kelly Clarkson is from Fort Worth, but does a wide variety, and not country. Vanilla Ice is from Dallas. Eddie Rabbit is from NY/NJ and was successful in Country as well as pop. The Pointer Sisters were from Oakland and did do one country song, "Fairytale", and received country award nominations and were invited to perform at the Grand Ole Opry.
Country is a way of life. These are the same people that are called backwards or white supremacists because they don’t like city life or the culture. “Bitter Clingers” is what Obama called them. I can’t blame them, tbh
So if I, a Texan, were to start rapping that would be country? That ain't how it works. She's absolutely allowed to make country music, but this ain't country.
She can try new sounds but those songs are not country and can be placed in pop😂😂 where they belong, but let's here the rest of her album, cause these two she released were à NO!!
Folks saying that Beyonce singing country is great and that she has a right to do so, are probably the same folks that said Darius Rucker singing country was garbage and that he should stick to pop. The issue is that if you say anything negative about Beyonce and her music, the Bee hive will swarm on you like there’s no tomorrow.
It's about freedom, creativity, art and the right to express yourself in any genre you choose. It's not about race, but race is a factor because if not you wouldn't have to say it.. there is always bias even if not intentional. I also don't think she should be labeled a country music artist... the labeling is also part of the bias and putting people in a box.. she is an artist that has some country music songs..
Lil nas x was allll over the country music stations.. darius rucker black guy was very popular on country stations qnd had many great country songs.. beyonce is pop r&b artist to the core.. she cant just get on a country station.. just like is taylor swift made a rao song.. they wouldn't blast her new rap song on rao stations.. because she dint fit period.. Eminem lived his lifestylw nd won battle rap olympics many times.. jack harlow is a pop artist who talks fast.. hes not rap.. and dont bwlong on rap stations.. even Eminem wouldnt be able to make a country song and actually get it played by country music stations.... Even black ppl say if u didnt live thw lifestyle than you shouldnt rap at all..same for country.. its not skin its life style
I feel you about "Everything not being about race" but on a different topic, some people live in areas or are in different contexts where they experience a ton more racism than others. Just be mindful when you say that and roll your eyes... you may never experience racism, I don't know your life, but for some of us out here, it's like everyday.
Thank you much darling I truly appreciate you standing up for the country music area I know Beyonce is from my native state of Texas but the same time she left that lifestyle behind had plenty of chances to her entire career to make a country music album and and now she thinks she can just break into the industry of country music. I ain't racist in any way or not I have a girlfriend that is black and I love her with all my heart and she even says Beyonce does not need to be in country music
Bey is an ARTIST who can sing in MANY genres! Gatekeeper gonna gate keep! #myhumbleopinion I’m here for Black people reclaiming EVERYTHING others stole and claim is theirs alone 🤦🏾♀️ #knowyourhistory!
PERIODDDD. SHEESH👏👏👏. Its so funny how we never mind a lot of whites to hop into rap and shit like they lived that life cus music is music but just like everything else, white people have this delusion that they should have special rights. Shit's outdated but whatever keeps their fantasy alive for them.
But she didn't and isn't. Houston ain't country, and neither is her music. Everyone has every right to make country music, she just hasn't made any country music.
@@genera1013 texas as a whole is southern/country and as an artist its good to explore different genres Beyoncé went from,ballads to pop, trap, and now country shes been exploring different types of music why are people acting like this is new for her.
@@user-xl1rb5ll4k No it's not. Have you ever been to Houston? It's as far from country as you can get. Different parts of Texas are just that. Different. Not all of it is country. Saying it is is just plain ignorant. She can do whatever she wants, she just didn't make a country song. Sincerely, a Texan who has actually lived in the country.
Your video is *PERFECT* I like Beyonce but these new songs are terrible. It's just pop music while wearing a cowboy hat and beats I really dont like Little Nas X but atleast Old Town Road tried something different and is catchy. Its not country but its good
If people like the song and its a good country song, it should be played. Although she isn't country, she is a musician that has a name from being good. I am also not a music picky person in general though so ...take my opinion with a grain of salt! 😂
The thing is is that they're saying that they're going to blackball her but didn't the banjo 🪕 come from Africa? Our music has been stolen from ragtime to rock to blues, and they're trying to say that they are the guideline to what country music is supposed to be? Now The 👑🐝 is charting #1 on billboard, so what does that say? I think anyone can crossover because music is universal and why should we be held to constraints? Caucasian people make rap music so what's the problem? I think when people think inside a box, they're not able to broaden their horizons.
And you saying people are the ones that say everything is not about race and I’m not saying it is. But in this case it is and the fact that you refuse to see it speaks volume. they treated Beyoncé the same way when she came to the country music awards and she wasn’t even doing country then she just came to perform and they were racist to her then. And once people found out that she was coming to the country awards and was bashing her and being racist, they stripped her from all of their advertisements. So this is not the first time they’ve treated Beyoncé like this..
Please provide names of these people. I've not seen anyone care about her race except the simps who can't accept the fact that Bey didn't make a country song. I wanted to like her songs, and I do, they're not bad. They're just not country.
@@genera1013 the fact that you haven’t seen it does not mean it does not exist. To say they don’t play Beyoncé music when she has two country songs tell me what’s up with that. Both of the country that should be the criteria, but in her case is not what other contributing factors. The fact that is a black woman, That normally does R&B music, she was invited to the country awards before and they were angry to the point where they had to remove her on any advertisements. Why would they need to do that?
@@genera1013 this is my opinion based off facts that I just laid out you have your own opinion I don’t know what it’s spaced off of but mine is based off for facts.
@@Yoface44 She doesn't have two country songs. Two country inspired songs maybe. Why would she be invited to the country awards when she's not a country artist? I don't have a problem with it and don't understand why others would, but why invite her? Just sounds like a marketing ploy to try to get more people into country music. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
@@genera1013 clearly you don’t know what you’re talking about because she was invited to the country awards to perform. And the country fans were not happy about it. If you’re gonna talk about something you need to at least know what has gone on. The argument about the songs of country inspired is so disingenuous. If they’re not country songs, why would they be played on country station? I can’t anymore
We started the genre! Black folk have always been country. We are born and raised in the same areas as them with some of the same backgrounds aside from slavery which brought country to them! Country is a lifestyle as well as a sound. We have always had our own style, own brand of country! And we’ve never stopped living country. They may as well get over themselves! #cingjerome
They? Wtf is they? Isn’t that what black people bitch about when white people say they? Then practice what you preach when you complain about white people doing rap or r&b music. Hypocrites!!! Get over yourselves!
They? Wtf id they? Dont black folks whine and complain when white folks say they when referring to blacks? Seems yall always calling white folks out for doing that exact same thing! And yall better get over when white folks sing r&b or rap. Y’all are always whining about that too! HYPOCRISY as usual!
Even if what you said wasn't historically false, Beyonce still isn't country and neither is her music. She can do whatever she wants, but that music ain't country.
I respect you for saying "chill with the race thing". ' Not everything is about Race' !!. You are absolutely right. We all bleed the same. We are all human beings. This race thing needs to stop. We are not the past. We are the future, and it's time for everyone to unite as one. One love for the whole of humanity ❤️ 🌎💯
That truly was a tactic of manipulation. This is why they have different blood types. Our DNA proves that we are the true HUMANS. Race was created by our oppressors. We need to question EVERYTHING they've accomplished. Beyonce has the right to explore her option.
Country stations can start by playing Beyoncé’s country songs. Since they played Taylor Swift’s earlier country albums which was criticized for being more pop. Same with Luke Bryan and Florida Georgia Line. Shania Twain was also criticized for being more rock than country and country stations still played her songs. Yea Beyoncé’s new album is pop but with more of a country influence but it’s still country just like those artists I mentioned.
Someone tell her we are free to try new things.... She tried that color in her hair and that was a bad idea... Let Beyonce try something that she like too 😂
I agree with u a lot. And one country station explained just what you said about Beyoncé not being county. Even Rihanna had that issue. R&b stations thought Rihanna was too Pop to be played on the real urban stations at first.
Thank you for this👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I’m a black, country music fan, born and bred and Texas; that doesn’t automatically make me country cause everyone that I know listen to R&B or Rap. Beyoncé’s country amounts to “All hat and no cattle”. I liked her song “ Daddy Lessons” and I stopped listening to country radio or watching country awards several years ago when I saw that some of my fave country music artists took issue with Beyoncé performing there. Dixie Chicks, I kind of understood because they’ve been blackballed for nearly 20 years ( even though they are still loved and missed in the country scene). Rhianna, Taylor Swift and SZA are out doing (in number’s) so bad that they’re trying to compare her to Nicki Minaj (who is also doing better) to save face. Last month, everybody was saying Beyoncé is the Queen of Rap, and as they are doing now, they started showing past pics and video of Beyoncé rapping. Well, everybody knows Nicki Minaj holds that title and fans and non- fans even had to bring them back from that delusion. Since that didn’t work, this month is she is country and now they show pics and video of that. Since Bey was a young girl, she has repped Texas and rap culture. Yes, she said they couldn’t take the country out her, we’re from Texas, we country. However, “country” and “country music” are two different life styles. Now, they’re trying to make it seems she’s doing this to reclaim the music that was taken from us. Y’all can be sheep but Jay and Bey are about opportunity and money.
I don’t listen to Beyoncé so this is an unbiased opinion. Beyoncé is an artist and can sing whatever she wants, if she sings country that makes her a country artist. No one is limited to the genre they started out with. Just because her voice doesn’t have a thick southern drawl doesn’t negate her ability to sing country songs. Her interpretation of the music does not have to fit into a cookie cutter mold. She is a Texan and very well could have grown up singing country music all day as far as we know. The time we have on earth is too short to live within limits and boundaries you didn’t set. She can do a gospel album next year if she is moved to do so.
She wants to end racism and have everyone unite. That’s why she is doing this in my opinion. I think it’s about opening up that genre and reaching those small conservative communities where blacks tell this day dear not go in the US and putting a woman of color there. The younger crowd will come along and blacks will intergretion into those country clubs. It will trend and bring cleaner music to the black community. I’m hoping we get a female president next. A black female president.
@@glamluxemama what mentality? Denying the reality of where you live and not knowing your history is the problem. Putting musicians into categories suited for their Race is why Joan Amatrading, Tracy Chapman and others did not get the acclaim they should have. You coming on here making a Beyonce is not a country singer and your OK if her new country song isn't played on Country music venues and stations, you are just swallowing the racist nature of your country. As I wrote GO LEARN THE HISTORY OF YOUR COUNTRY, YA KNOW WHAT GO LEARN THE HISTORY OF COUNTRY MUSIC.
I disagree with your conclusions of Beyonce. You're using that crab-life mentality against your own people and a sister. You don't see other races belittling their own, rather, they support them in all....their choices, gifts and talents. You're using Beyoncé's name to get likes. Get rid of that dark heart my sister. Blessings for Beyonce and I pray for you.
So just because she’s a sister, I’m just supposed to suppress my opinions about her song??? No thank you. If I don’t like something, I’m gonna speak out, regardless of race. Shouldn’t matter what side I’m on. Everybody is entitled to their opinion and it takes a mature person to respect either side and remove their personal feelings about Beyoncé from it.
@@glamluxemamaWhy does it matter to you how an artist decides to express themselves? I worked at an art gallery in which several actors had work that was featured. Because they are actors, should they have chosen NOT to paint or sculpt? Elvis genre hopped from blues, to rock n roll to gospel to country. No one complained. The point is for you to stop putting other people in a box.
@@glamluxemamano anger, you are just uneducated on your history, knowledge is powerful and above all get an understanding. This will take you a long way.
Having an opinion has nothing to do with my education on my history. It’s actually irrelevant. I can know my history and still have the same opinions 🤷🏽♀️ You have yourself a good day.
@glamluxemama Since you are being generous enough to answer questions a month later - could you answer mine? Plenty of actors have forays into the art world. Plenty of artists genre hop. Why do you feel a need to put people in a box? If they choose to explore different arenas, why not? It is common amongst black people to think people should not explore or grow to try new things.
Not really sure why this topic needs a debate. Bey's texas hold em was refreshing from her usual. But, no genre is off limits to nobody. With that being said, it ain't like country music is out here playing lil durk 😂. Let people do what they want. Country music now, has a blend of a little bit of everything. And it was never like that before. I've only liked a total of 6 country music artist within the last year. On repeat. When, I hear a country song. I Don't want to hear pop, within the song. Which is why, I narrowed my list down to 6, and nothing more. So, I can understand the confusion around the whole "not a true country musician". Not, just with Beyonce. But, others as well. Still, I think we should just let people do what they want. Because when Miley Cyrus went to rap "we welcomed her with open arms" ....just for her to turn around and say "all rap music is violent" 🤣🤣🤣🤨😵💫🤥🤨🤡. Like, girl take accountability for you choosing to participate in the tom foolery. Ya'll stay blessed 🤗🤭😹🙏
False. Learn your history. It was created by Irish and?Scottish immigrants. Not that that means she can't make country music. She absolutely can, but she hasn't. She's not country and her songs show it.
@genera1013 You do know there has been a tradition of Black Music being copied by others groups and eventually claiming that as theirs, right? This involves all music you know about (Country, Jazz, Blues, Rock & Roll, etc). Thank God there are means to verify the originators of Sounds. Does Banjo sound like an Irish name to you? 🙄
@@AC-yg9zf Did you seriously just try to claim all types of music are created by one race? Wow. Black people certainly influenced country music, but they didn't invent it. Country music is more than just a banjo.
@genera1013 We have to be objective here. Wherever Black people go in the world, they produce sound that the rest of the world follows. Nobody can deny that. In Latin America they created the Salsa and Tango dance, House music, UK is Drum & Base, Funky House. You see the common denominator? This is not me talking, this can be demonstrated in Music History Books.
Weird that someone with green hair decided to put someone in a box and express their distaste at an artist who decided to step outside the lines drawn for them. My family members played jazz, blues, and blue grass. I am a neurodivergent black girl who is more than thrilled to see a black woman, whom people see in one manner, do it. Now if we can just get SZA to help write a manga that is later turned into a great anime series - my day will be made. 😂 If you don’t like the work , that is fine. However , are we still telling people what they should and should not do in expressing themselves in 2024? Signed ~ the black girl who was asked constantly “ why are you listening to that? “ 🤣🤣🤣
I completely agree, Beyonce is not a country music singer . She needs to stay in her lane , and yes she can do what ever she wants, but she is not country!!! In country music we have one of the best country music singers ever to be in country music I grew up listening to Charlie Pride, we have Ray Charles, Tony Jackson, Dion Pride and Darius Rucker. Those are the ones that are known. There are others who never made it big and remain unknown.
I read the country station was just confused at first when people started requesting Beyoncé but then started playing her country songs when they learned it was a real thing.
Sweetie clearly u don't know what an artist is .... That's like saying an artist that paints can't make illustration. Singing is using ur voice in beautiful ways what u sing doesn't determine what u should stick to u are blocking ur creativity musically .that's like going to college learning and getting a degree in food and then doing a whole 180 and doing hair successfully so becuz u studied food u should be a chef .
I'm with u on this one why would u do something that is not ur thing and hope u FINALLY GET THE GRAMMY U WANT SO BAD ....Why not tighten up what u know and earn it ! cause that shit sounds so stupid!
@@Unlike230disagreed. Stop trying to stifle her, the best artists try new and different things. If she did the same thing it would be boring. It sounds great hence why it’s going #1
@@itzcandy5896I'm not stifling anyone lol. I'm entitled to my opinion and how I feel about it. Not everyone is going to love everything she and other artists comes out with. I loved her last album but I'm not personally feeling these songs because I know what country sounds like. Yes artists can try new and different categories of music, why not, she's beautiful and talented but putting country music with lyrics does not make it country alone. It's also how it's sung. A majority of Beyonce's fans don't listen to or cared for country music before this album dropped but because it's Beyonce doing country suddenly they're in disagreement with it not being country or anyone who says otherwise. Listen to Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood, Pasty Cline, Dolly Parton, Jimmie Allen to name a few and you would understand what I mean. Another thing is country artists tend to be more conservative in the way they dress and carry about themselves. She came out representing country yet dressing almost nude!! Not sexy, almost nude! I will put the link below. Yes she is entitled to do as she pleases however as a mother of two daughters there should be self respect!! I was in disbelief when I saw it!! If a male artist did this he would be called and considered something else!! Women of color fought too hard to be respected only to let themselves down. I bring this up because while I didn't explain myself, it was part of the reason I disagreed but I'm glad you're enjoying the new music. nypost.com/2024/02/13/entertainment/oklahoma-country-station-wont-play-new-beyonce-song-heres-why?

Why are you bringing race into this? This is about an artist entering a new genre and expecting to be at the top automatically when she can even make one country song.
Everything on earth is about race get over it. Dolly Parton made a rock and roll album didn't nobody have a problem with dat. Taylor swift went from country to pop didn't no one have a problem with that
@@LeeLee_Diamond Just gonna ignore Darius Rucker then? It's not about her race. It's about claiming a song is country when it ain't. That was pop with the word Texas thrown in.

@@LeeLee_Diamond Actually, you assuming jerk, I mentioned Darius because he genre hopped. He was originally in hip hop then came over to country. Guess what, his songs are country. I didn't know who Lil Nas was until Call Me By Your Name came out and everyone freaked out about the music video. Never listened to Ol' Town Road because I'm not really into Billy Ray Cyrus so I didn't learn about it until after I learned about Nas. Stop trying to make it a race thing. You're just showing yourself to be the racist.
It was one station lol. Someone called and requested Beyonce. The station didn't know she had a " country" song and secondly, they couldn't play it if they wanted to bc beyonce's team didn't provide the stations with her music.
Also, her video is not that of a country background video depicting, the typical country, songs and videos she release country song, great, but she’s not a country song, artist and the song should not have debuted at number one
This video accomplished just what I intended for it to do, ruffling people’s feathers.

Y’all have a great day! 😁❤️
Country singers live country she's not Just because your rich you shouldn't try to play monopoly with every genre.smh chill
It is a country song regardless of who is singing it. Beyonces not a country singer, she’s an artist and she did in fact release country songs.

Miley Cyrus did hip hop and it was played on the “urban” stations, she did pop and country on other stations as well. Plenty artists have cross over music. I don’t see a problem.
No she did not do hip hop. Name a song that she rapped. Just because she was shaking her butt , does not mean it is hip hop. Hip hop is a culture , rap is the culture music.

Country music singers have been crossing genres for decades, Taylor Swift was country, Jewel, Kerry Underwood, Faith Hill ect why can’t it go the other way, Lil’ Nas had a “country” song🤷♀️
Beyonce is an artist creating art. Artists study various art forms to better their craft. Beyonce is at a place in her career she doesn't care what people think. She is just having fun and creating art. If you don't like it, don't listen to her. Artists should never be put in a box. When people like her do things like this, she is opening doors for people who look like her.
@lovelynikkij
My sentiments exactly
Even Stevie Wonder had a country song: " I ain't gonna stand for it" and Lionel Ritchie " Stuck on you"
@@lovelynikkij Beyoncé was just exploring her art for her enjoyment then Jay Z would not have spent his speech doing what he did. tell me I’m wrong
But it’s OK because they were white. This is all about racism. Stop hating us for our greatness you need to get on your knees and talk to God he made us this way.😂
Lil Nas X was never in danger of being a country artist…if anything it was more of an attempt from Billy Ray Cyrus to be relevant again lol
I 100% agree. Everyone saying “Beyonce has a right to make country music” is completely missing the point. Of course she does. No one is saying she doesn’t. What she doesn’t have a right to is airtime on country stations. Country stations are catering to a country audience who expect to hear legitimate country artists who make country albums and play at country concerts. They aren’t down for the A-list pop stars that play on every other station to make 1 or 2 songs with an acoustic guitar to now invade their airwaves, and the DJs know this so they don’t play them.
This isn’t anything personal or unique to beyonce it happens in every music scene, just like the jazz stations aren’t going to start playing Adele just because she comes out with one jazzy tune

They had no problem having non-black pop singers song's there. Miley and Taylor Swift were never even as country as Beyonce with this album yet here we are...
@@Ignasimp (1) This isn't a country album. Actual lyrics from the album: "I ain't in no gang gang but I got shooters and I bang bang" on "Spaghetti"; "Bounce on this sh_t dance dance, Bounce on this shi*t dance dance" on "Riverdance" -- the electronic drums, the synths, the layered Enya or Imogen Heap-esque vocals on virtually every track, the slapped funk bass and sub hip hop bass lines... Being generous, it has 4 country songs -Texas Hold'em, Protector, Jolene, Just for Fun - out of the 27 tracks on the album. Have you listened to this album?
(2) Taylor Swift actually was once upon a time a legitimate country artist. She made country albums, out of Nashville, from a country label, played acoustic guitar and sang about her everyday life. Multiple country albums. No synths, no sub bass, no trap drums. Genuinely country.
(3) Miley Cyrus was played on country stations?
Go listen to this album by Beyonce; it isn't a country album. It's not a bad album but it's just not the genre known as "country." It's mostly like the rest of Beyonce's albums but with a running gimmick throughout talking about horses and bandits and poker and other stereotypically western imagery in the lyrics
@@Ignasimp thank you for speaking truth Beyonce is the most country of them but because she is black she gets no fucking recognition like I'm so tired of this bullshit🐝🐝🔪🔪🔪
No, she’s not a country singer but she MADE a country song therefore, country stations should play her country song. No one is asking for her to be inducted into the country hall of fame, they just want to hear the song on the radio. Music should be enjoyed without the need for “labels”. Art is ART at the end of the day.
Yeah... This girl is twisted. Background music?? WTF have you listened to her album/s?? This girl is naive and sadly out of touch with music history. Wow it's just such a ridiculous argument.

This is gatekeeping energy. Art is supposed to be free. As an artist she’s very much allowed to cross. She’s done country before on her lemonade album. Shes from TEXAS & one of her first show was at a rodeo for gods sakes. People need to knock it off.
It's got nothing to do with her. It's the fact that the song itself is not country, it may "sound" country but it's not and many actual country music listeners are mad and disgusted that Texas hold em is being called country. It's not country, it's not pop country, and it's not pop. This song is just trash, the lyrics make no sense and there's no real story behind it. The only thing that helps this song is the beat, that is literally it
She's more than entitled to try , but being accepted as a country singer is totally different .
Art is suppose to be free til a white person does it
She's allowed to make any type of music she wants. The thing is tho she hasn't made anything country as of yet. I'd love to hear a real country song from her, but I haven't.
No? We didn’t say she couldn’t try other genres, all were saying is she’s simply not a country artist. None of her music is even remotely country, and it’s not abt racism or hate keeping those are just the facts! Y’all pull the race card everytime
The lyrics, clothes, and messages are not typical of country music. She's crossing over to country. She dipped her toes in it. But its not mainstream country.
At all, it doesn’t even sound like a country music song 😂
She is not crossing over to a genre created and developed by Black Americans. Please sharpen up on history by either reading or investigating.
She may not be a country artist, but she made a country song. If people want to hear it then the station shouldn’t have a problem playing it.
She’s from Texas, she can do country if she wants. And I’m
Not a Beyoncé super fan but artist can do any kind of music they want.
ITS THE FIRST MUSIC I REALLY LISTEN TO 16 CARRIAGES FROM BEYONCE.I LOVE IY
She's from Houston. Houston ain't country. I'm from Texas, but that don't mean I should be a country singer. That's not how it works.
Houston has rural, urban, suburbs and xurban areas. We still have cattle next to homes and schools out by beltway 8, fm 521, and hirises that overshadow old freeman's town. We have country dives, historic Black neighborhoods next to top tech corporations. Houston encompasses so much..don't ever say Houston doesn't have country in it. We still have century old historic trail rides still coming from Southside areas.

@@babygirla5717 It's not. It's basically the Atlanta of Texas. Nothing country about it. You have to leave the city to even see a tree. It may be near Houston, but it's not Houston. Once we got to rural it wasn't Houston anymore. Different town name entirely.
It doesn't take rocket science to sing a country song. Black people started with country music.

Listen....the song is not for everyone. It's for those that like it. That's all that needs to be said.
Truth!
Right and obviously millions like it,it's #1
If people like it, that's great. It's not my favorite. Beyonce's not my favorite, talented as she is, she's just not my style.
However anyone likes or doesn't like it though, Texas hold'em is not a country song.
It’s not about being a country music artist, it’s about making the music your creative spirit directs you to. You cannot tell a person that comes from a clan of sheep herders not to become a cattle rancher or car dealer for that matter. She has not told anyone she’s a country musician or that she’s becoming one. She has only done what most can’t, which is do what the hell what you want if it makes yourself and many millions genuinely happy!
Beyonce isn’t a country singer. Her songs aren’t country. That said, neither is 95% of what receives radio play on country stations in the US. The vast majority is overproduced, repetitive, algorithmic pop with a country-ish sound. The current state of country, Beyonce being no different, is exactly the reason many country fans stopped listening and supporting the genre. I personally only stick to Texas and folk country anymore.
She wasn't an actor either, but she did it. Artists can perform in any medium they choose. After all, "We's free now."
If someone tells you to stay out of something that they don't own in the first place and you do it, you become their slave and they your master.

Well, you was right about one thing in this video. Beyoncé is not a country music artist. She is an artist that has been using country, tween a yodeling and her music for years. She’s performed with a lot of country artist throughout the years and have always shown her undying love for country music which is also similar to blues and also gospel which is something that Beyoncé have also done in the past so I think she has I am the right and her 27 year career to do whatever the heck she wants to do!
She IS NOT A country singer. Yes she can make a "country song" or a song with a "country vibe." I love Bun-B but he's a RAPPER and he played the banjo on her songs. And it's NOT ABOUT RACE! It's about her just trying to jump on the "bandwagon" with country music. Country music makes more money. That's what she wants, and causing this controversy in music is getting her more attention, and that what she wants. More money and more attention.

The issue isn't that she's not a country artist, the issue is that they're not country songs. As you said, it takes more than background music (and cliché phrases...). It's catchy, but it ain't country.
Kane Brown? Black. Country. Race ain't the issue.
Lionel Richie not only had a country hit but, he also wrote the song "Lady" for Kenny Roger's a country music singer which became one of his biggest hits. Music is universal and we have always had crossover singers. Please stop trying to change the narrative. Music is Music and Beyonce is from Texas 😅❤
What does being from Texas have to do with anything? It doesn't make her country. Do you think all Texans ride horses to school and live on ranches on the outskirts of town?
Besides, she's from Houston. That's as far from country as you can get in Texas.
Beyonce is not country. Her and her team submitted those songs to the pop genre. So it wasn't even on the country radar. Thats why the stations didn't play the music. She's intentionally creating controversy as a marketing ploy...and it's working.

I don’t give Beyoncé any hate for wanting to make a country song. I give the song she came up with hate because it’s terrible but she’s getting loads of praise for it just because she’s Beyoncé
Why not? She's from Texas, so that makes it country. Alot of artist cross differeny genre. She an artist. Girl please.
Being from the South does _not_ make one country. Gap Band is from Tulsa. Kelly Clarkson is from Fort Worth, but does a wide variety, and not country. Vanilla Ice is from Dallas. Eddie Rabbit is from NY/NJ and was successful in Country as well as pop. The Pointer Sisters were from Oakland and did do one country song, "Fairytale", and received country award nominations and were invited to perform at the Grand Ole Opry.
Country started with us anyway.
Country is a way of life. These are the same people that are called backwards or white supremacists because they don’t like city life or the culture. “Bitter Clingers” is what Obama called them. I can’t blame them, tbh

Folks saying that Beyonce singing country is great and that she has a right to do so, are probably the same folks that said Darius Rucker singing country was garbage and that he should stick to pop. The issue is that if you say anything negative about Beyonce and her music, the Bee hive will swarm on you like there’s no tomorrow.
It's about freedom, creativity, art and the right to express yourself in any genre you choose. It's not about race, but race is a factor because if not you wouldn't have to say it.. there is always bias even if not intentional. I also don't think she should be labeled a country music artist... the labeling is also part of the bias and putting people in a box.. she is an artist that has some country music songs..
Lil nas x was allll over the country music stations.. darius rucker black guy was very popular on country stations qnd had many great country songs.. beyonce is pop r&b artist to the core.. she cant just get on a country station.. just like is taylor swift made a rao song.. they wouldn't blast her new rap song on rao stations.. because she dint fit period.. Eminem lived his lifestylw nd won battle rap olympics many times.. jack harlow is a pop artist who talks fast.. hes not rap.. and dont bwlong on rap stations.. even Eminem wouldnt be able to make a country song and actually get it played by country music stations.... Even black ppl say if u didnt live thw lifestyle than you shouldnt rap at all..same for country.. its not skin its life style
Hm. This is funny because Jelly Roll had no trouble going from rap to country, but when a black woman does it’s a huge problem. 🤔
I feel you about "Everything not being about race" but on a different topic, some people live in areas or are in different contexts where they experience a ton more racism than others. Just be mindful when you say that and roll your eyes... you may never experience racism, I don't know your life, but for some of us out here, it's like everyday.
Thank you much darling I truly appreciate you standing up for the country music area I know Beyonce is from my native state of Texas but the same time she left that lifestyle behind had plenty of chances to her entire career to make a country music album and and now she thinks she can just break into the industry of country music. I ain't racist in any way or not I have a girlfriend that is black and I love her with all my heart and she even says Beyonce does not need to be in country music

New fan here! Thank you for the content you put out. Your delivery is refreshing to come across!
I appreciate that!
You are mistaken, everything in this country IS about race.
I take advice from a girl who uploaded a video in the Bathroom...
If people like the song and its a good country song, it should be played. Although she isn't country, she is a musician that has a name from being good. I am also not a music picky person in general though so ...take my opinion with a grain of salt! 😂
I’m not picky music person per se either. Just like ruffling feathers a little bit 😆😆
Just like Garth Brooks was NOT a rock singer lol
Thank you 🫶🏼🙏🏼
The thing is is that they're saying that they're going to blackball her but didn't the banjo 🪕 come from Africa? Our music has been stolen from ragtime to rock to blues, and they're trying to say that they are the guideline to what country music is supposed to be? Now The 👑🐝 is charting #1 on billboard, so what does that say? I think anyone can crossover because music is universal and why should we be held to constraints? Caucasian people make rap music so what's the problem? I think when people think inside a box, they're not able to broaden their horizons.
All country music singers have to start ... No one starts off a star.. she can try
And you saying people are the ones that say everything is not about race and I’m not saying it is. But in this case it is and the fact that you refuse to see it speaks volume. they treated Beyoncé the same way when she came to the country music awards and she wasn’t even doing country then she just came to perform and they were racist to her then. And once people found out that she was coming to the country awards and was bashing her and being racist, they stripped her from all of their advertisements. So this is not the first time they’ve treated Beyoncé like this..
Please provide names of these people. I've not seen anyone care about her race except the simps who can't accept the fact that Bey didn't make a country song.
I wanted to like her songs, and I do, they're not bad. They're just not country.
@@genera1013 the fact that you haven’t seen it does not mean it does not exist. To say they don’t play Beyoncé music when she has two country songs tell me what’s up with that. Both of the country that should be the criteria, but in her case is not what other contributing factors. The fact that is a black woman, That normally does R&B music, she was invited to the country awards before and they were angry to the point where they had to remove her on any advertisements. Why would they need to do that?
@@genera1013 this is my opinion based off facts that I just laid out you have your own opinion I don’t know what it’s spaced off of but mine is based off for facts.
@@Yoface44 She doesn't have two country songs. Two country inspired songs maybe.
Why would she be invited to the country awards when she's not a country artist? I don't have a problem with it and don't understand why others would, but why invite her? Just sounds like a marketing ploy to try to get more people into country music. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
@@genera1013 clearly you don’t know what you’re talking about because she was invited to the country awards to perform. And the country fans were not happy about it. If you’re gonna talk about something you need to at least know what has gone on. The argument about the songs of country inspired is so disingenuous. If they’re not country songs, why would they be played on country station? I can’t anymore
We started the genre!
Black folk have always been country.
We are born and raised in the same areas as them with some of the same backgrounds aside from slavery which brought country to them!
Country is a lifestyle as well as a sound.
We have always had our own style, own brand of country!
And we’ve never stopped living country.
They may as well get over themselves!
#cingjerome
They? Wtf is they? Isn’t that what black people bitch about when white people say they? Then practice what you preach when you complain about white people doing rap or r&b music. Hypocrites!!! Get over yourselves!
No the hill people of the Appalachian mountains slid into country. It has more than one contributing element
They? Wtf id they? Dont black folks whine and complain when white folks say they when referring to blacks? Seems yall always calling white folks out for doing that exact same thing! And yall better get over when white folks sing r&b or rap. Y’all are always whining about that too! HYPOCRISY as usual!
Even if what you said wasn't historically false, Beyonce still isn't country and neither is her music. She can do whatever she wants, but that music ain't country.
@@danarzechula3769 You do know that the people of the Appalachian mountains (hillbillies) were comprised of black and white poor people, No?
What's that you got there on your top lip?
I just found you off this short and will most definitely be subscribing! ☺️
❤️❤️
Country started as black, she was just putting soul back into it
Western/ cowboy lifestyle originated in Spain, was brought to Mexico. The states adopted the lifestyle.. stop trying to gatekeep everything
I respect you for saying "chill with the race thing". ' Not everything is about Race' !!. You are absolutely right. We all bleed the same. We are all human beings. This race thing needs to stop. We are not the past. We are the future, and it's time for everyone to unite as one. One love for the whole of humanity ❤️ 🌎💯
Naive much! U sound 7 yrs old.
That truly was a tactic of manipulation. This is why they have different blood types. Our DNA proves that we are the true HUMANS. Race was created by our oppressors. We need to question EVERYTHING they've accomplished. Beyonce has the right to explore her option.
um. no.
Country stations can start by playing Beyoncé’s country songs. Since they played Taylor Swift’s earlier country albums which was criticized for being more pop. Same with Luke Bryan and Florida Georgia Line. Shania Twain was also criticized for being more rock than country and country stations still played her songs. Yea Beyoncé’s new album is pop but with more of a country influence but it’s still country just like those artists I mentioned.
Someone tell her we are free to try new things.... She tried that color in her hair and that was a bad idea... Let Beyonce try something that she like too 😂
It’s not for you to like 😉😂
@@glamluxemama but it is for us to criticize since it’s on media 🧐
😂🤣😆 ooh, the shade about the hair color. Lol. I hate that I laughed out loud when I just read your comment.
@@gianiiGianii oh so that means I can criticize the song too then. What a wasted comment on your part 😂😂😂
She literally said "you can play around with different genres..." listen before typing.
I agree with u a lot. And one country station explained just what you said about Beyoncé not being county. Even Rihanna had that issue. R&b stations thought Rihanna was too Pop to be played on the real urban stations at first.
With your logic eminem is not a rapper.
If you sing or make a song in a genre, then your in that genre.
You sound white washed.
Ok lol 🤷🏽♀️
Thank you for this👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I’m a black, country music fan, born and bred and Texas; that doesn’t automatically make me country cause everyone that I know listen to R&B or Rap. Beyoncé’s country amounts to “All hat and no cattle”. I liked her song “ Daddy Lessons” and I stopped listening to country radio or watching country awards several years ago when I saw that some of my fave country music artists took issue with Beyoncé performing there. Dixie Chicks, I kind of understood because they’ve been blackballed for nearly 20 years ( even though they are still loved and missed in the country scene). Rhianna, Taylor Swift and SZA are out doing (in number’s) so bad that they’re trying to compare her to Nicki Minaj (who is also doing better) to save face. Last month, everybody was saying Beyoncé is the Queen of Rap, and as they are doing now, they started showing past pics and video of Beyoncé rapping. Well, everybody knows Nicki Minaj holds that title and fans and non- fans even had to bring them back from that delusion. Since that didn’t work, this month is she is country and now they show pics and video of that. Since Bey was a young girl, she has repped Texas and rap culture. Yes, she said they couldn’t take the country out her, we’re from Texas, we country. However, “country” and “country music” are two different life styles. Now, they’re trying to make it seems she’s doing this to reclaim the music that was taken from us. Y’all can be sheep but Jay and Bey are about opportunity and money.
💯
Beyonce does what makes her happy. PERIOD
You are what you can do successfully.
I don’t listen to Beyoncé so this is an unbiased opinion. Beyoncé is an artist and can sing whatever she wants, if she sings country that makes her a country artist. No one is limited to the genre they started out with. Just because her voice doesn’t have a thick southern drawl doesn’t negate her ability to sing country songs. Her interpretation of the music does not have to fit into a cookie cutter mold. She is a Texan and very well could have grown up singing country music all day as far as we know. The time we have on earth is too short to live within limits and boundaries you didn’t set. She can do a gospel album next year if she is moved to do so.
I like Texas hold um. But the 16 carriages I feel that’s not a country song yes it’s sad but not country
I agree. country music this wholesome what she's wearing, barely anything that's not country and her sound is not country and come for me. I'm black.
She wants to end racism and have everyone unite. That’s why she is doing this in my opinion. I think it’s about opening up that genre and reaching those small conservative communities where blacks tell this day dear not go in the US and putting a woman of color there. The younger crowd will come along and blacks will intergretion into those country clubs. It will trend and bring cleaner music to the black community. I’m hoping we get a female president next. A black female president.
Cool, but we already have black country artists and they actually release country songs. Texas hold em ain't country.
@@genera1013 I agree but I appreciate Beyonces efforts.
I like how you think
Beyoncé making country songs is like Taco Bell making “Mexican food”
🤣🤣🤣
😆🤣😂
So what defines country music? How many bangos are in the song The twang in which you sing the lyrics?
Please Clarify
What songs did you make?
You are wrong!! Its all about race. You live in the USA know your history.
This mentality is why we’ll always stay divided. They can’t control us if we don’t let them!
@@glamluxemama what mentality? Denying the reality of where you live and not knowing your history is the problem. Putting musicians into categories suited for their Race is why Joan Amatrading, Tracy Chapman and others did not get the acclaim they should have. You coming on here making a Beyonce is not a country singer and your OK if her new country song isn't played on Country music venues and stations, you are just swallowing the racist nature of your country. As I wrote GO LEARN THE HISTORY OF YOUR COUNTRY, YA KNOW WHAT GO LEARN THE HISTORY OF COUNTRY MUSIC.
@@glamluxemamawhy do you think division is on us to make right
Imma need for you to not have crumbs on your lips while talking that ish, lol. I found myself trying to wipe it off 😂
I disagree with your conclusions of Beyonce. You're using that crab-life mentality against your own people and a sister. You don't see other races belittling their own, rather, they support them in all....their choices, gifts and talents. You're using Beyoncé's name to get likes. Get rid of that dark heart my sister. Blessings for Beyonce and I pray for you.
So just because she’s a sister, I’m just supposed to suppress my opinions about her song??? No thank you. If I don’t like something, I’m gonna speak out, regardless of race. Shouldn’t matter what side I’m on. Everybody is entitled to their opinion and it takes a mature person to respect either side and remove their personal feelings about Beyoncé from it.
@@glamluxemamaWhy does it matter to you how an artist decides to express themselves? I worked at an art gallery in which several actors had work that was featured. Because they are actors, should they have chosen NOT to paint or sculpt? Elvis genre hopped from blues, to rock n roll to gospel to country. No one complained. The point is for you to stop putting other people in a box.
@@glamluxemamano anger, you are just uneducated on your history, knowledge is powerful and above all get an understanding. This will take you a long way.
Having an opinion has nothing to do with my education on my history. It’s actually irrelevant. I can know my history and still have the same opinions 🤷🏽♀️ You have yourself a good day.
@glamluxemama Since you are being generous enough to answer questions a month later - could you answer mine? Plenty of actors have forays into the art world. Plenty of artists genre hop. Why do you feel a need to put people in a box? If they choose to explore different arenas, why not? It is common amongst black people to think people should not explore or grow to try new things.
🎶🎶Cha, cha, cha, Chia!!! 🎶🎶 And, she may not be country, according to your perception...yet, she's #1 on the Billboard!
Not really sure why this topic needs a debate. Bey's texas hold em was refreshing from her usual. But, no genre is off limits to nobody. With that being said, it ain't like country music is out here playing lil durk 😂. Let people do what they want. Country music now, has a blend of a little bit of everything. And it was never like that before. I've only liked a total of 6 country music artist within the last year. On repeat. When, I hear a country song. I Don't want to hear pop, within the song. Which is why, I narrowed my list down to 6, and nothing more. So, I can understand the confusion around the whole "not a true country musician". Not, just with Beyonce. But, others as well. Still, I think we should just let people do what they want. Because when Miley Cyrus went to rap "we welcomed her with open arms" ....just for her to turn around and say "all rap music is violent" 🤣🤣🤣🤨😵💫🤥🤨🤡. Like, girl take accountability for you choosing to participate in the tom foolery. Ya'll stay blessed 🤗🤭😹🙏
Girl stop 🛑. Artidts have been crossing over forever. Use your phone and DO YOUR RESEARCH.
That's not the issue. Way to miss the point completely.
Country music was invented by Black Americans, and so Beyonce is allowed in her heritage. PERIOD.
False. Learn your history. It was created by Irish and?Scottish immigrants.
Not that that means she can't make country music. She absolutely can, but she hasn't.
She's not country and her songs show it.
Very false. My ancestors are Irish and Creole. Country music came from Eastern Black hymns.
@genera1013 You do know there has been a tradition of Black Music being copied by others groups and eventually claiming that as theirs, right? This involves all music you know about (Country, Jazz, Blues, Rock & Roll, etc). Thank God there are means to verify the originators of Sounds.
Does Banjo sound like an Irish name to you? 🙄
@@AC-yg9zf Did you seriously just try to claim all types of music are created by one race? Wow.
Black people certainly influenced country music, but they didn't invent it. Country music is more than just a banjo.
@genera1013 We have to be objective here. Wherever Black people go in the world, they produce sound that the rest of the world follows. Nobody can deny that. In Latin America they created the Salsa and Tango dance, House music, UK is Drum & Base, Funky House. You see the common denominator?
This is not me talking, this can be demonstrated in Music History Books.
Weird that someone with green hair decided to put someone in a box and express their distaste at an artist who decided to step outside the lines drawn for them. My family members played jazz, blues, and blue grass. I am a neurodivergent black girl who is more than thrilled to see a black woman, whom people see in one manner, do it. Now if we can just get SZA to help write a manga that is later turned into a great anime series - my day will be made. 😂 If you don’t like the work , that is fine. However , are we still telling people what they should and should not do in expressing themselves in 2024? Signed ~ the black girl who was asked constantly “ why are you listening to that? “ 🤣🤣🤣
I completely agree, Beyonce is not a country music singer . She needs to stay in her lane , and yes she can do what ever she wants, but she is not country!!! In country music we have one of the best country music singers ever to be in country music I grew up listening to Charlie Pride, we have Ray Charles, Tony Jackson, Dion Pride and Darius Rucker. Those are the ones that are known. There are others who never made it big and remain unknown.
Apparently you people didn't think Dolly was country either. ..and yet she is now legendary.
@@sweetsendaedreamr what are you talking about. Dolly was on the country music charts since before I was born!!!!!!
I read the country station was just confused at first when people started requesting Beyoncé but then started playing her country songs when they learned it was a real thing.
Sweetie clearly u don't know what an artist is .... That's like saying an artist that paints can't make illustration. Singing is using ur voice in beautiful ways what u sing doesn't determine what u should stick to u are blocking ur creativity musically .that's like going to college learning and getting a degree in food and then doing a whole 180 and doing hair successfully so becuz u studied food u should be a chef .
Missed the point entirely.
Idk I think imma side wit u on this one…I love Beyonce n her new songs but I think she should try to stay in the lane she was already in
Her lane is Creole..so country music is up her alley as is Zydeco..another form of country music.
She can do country, but just repeating lines doesn't make it good.
She don't sound country to me
That wasn't country.
Maybe the rest of the album is, but what I've heard so far ain't.
I say the same about Dolly, Tim McGraw, Kenny Rogers.. etc
Thank you for saying the truth. You are amazing
I'm with u on this one why would u do something that is not ur thing and hope u FINALLY GET THE GRAMMY U WANT SO BAD ....Why not tighten up what u know and earn it ! cause that shit sounds so stupid!
Agreed
@@Unlike230disagreed. Stop trying to stifle her, the best artists try new and different things. If she did the same thing it would be boring. It sounds great hence why it’s going #1
@@itzcandy5896I'm not stifling anyone lol. I'm entitled to my opinion and how I feel about it. Not everyone is going to love everything she and other artists comes out with. I loved her last album but I'm not personally feeling these songs because I know what country sounds like. Yes artists can try new and different categories of music, why not, she's beautiful and talented but putting country music with lyrics does not make it country alone. It's also how it's sung. A majority of Beyonce's fans don't listen to or cared for country music before
this album dropped but because it's Beyonce doing country suddenly they're in disagreement with it not being country or anyone who says otherwise. Listen to Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood, Pasty Cline, Dolly Parton, Jimmie Allen to name a few and you would understand what I mean. Another thing is country artists tend to be more conservative in the way they dress and carry about themselves. She came out representing country yet dressing almost nude!! Not sexy, almost nude! I will put the link below. Yes she is entitled to do as she pleases however as a mother of two daughters there should be self respect!! I was in disbelief when I saw it!! If a male artist did this he would be called and considered something else!! Women of color fought too hard to be respected only to let themselves down. I bring this up because while I didn't explain myself, it was part of the reason I disagreed but I'm glad you're enjoying the new music.

Because your opinion is worthless. Her audience brought her to number 1. She is an artist and can make what she wants.

@@Unlike230exactly
The internet man..at one point we weren’t exposed to everybody’s bullshit opinions😂
White folk make “other” music all the time , make a video on them . Thanks sweetheart.
Why are you bringing race into this? This is about an artist entering a new genre and expecting to be at the top automatically when she can even make one country song.
Everything on earth is about race get over it. Dolly Parton made a rock and roll album didn't nobody have a problem with dat. Taylor swift went from country to pop didn't no one have a problem with that
@@LeeLee_Diamond Just gonna ignore Darius Rucker then?
It's not about her race. It's about claiming a song is country when it ain't. That was pop with the word Texas thrown in.
@genera1013 It is about her damn race u mentioned one blk country singer gurl or boy bye. Yall r the same folks who got mad at lil nas x with his country song and he couldn't perform that song in Nashville cuz of his race
@@LeeLee_Diamond Actually, you assuming jerk, I mentioned Darius because he genre hopped. He was originally in hip hop then came over to country. Guess what, his songs are country.
I didn't know who Lil Nas was until Call Me By Your Name came out and everyone freaked out about the music video. Never listened to Ol' Town Road because I'm not really into Billy Ray Cyrus so I didn't learn about it until after I learned about Nas.
Stop trying to make it a race thing. You're just showing yourself to be the racist.
I honest dont think her country songs are good. They are basic,compared to others. This is beyond race.🤷
Eminem can rap
Beyonce can do country
I don't care as long as the music is good
She relased the songs on Superbowl..then a week later she top 100 hot country nahhhh that was definitely paid for billboards 😂😂
Agreed. It’s not about race. It’s about a non-country artist poorly appropriating country music culture, disrespecting it along the way.
It was one station lol. Someone called and requested Beyonce. The station didn't know she had a " country" song and secondly, they couldn't play it if they wanted to bc beyonce's team didn't provide the stations with her music.
Huh? She can’t do
Country. Lol SHE DID!!! And she slayed
Also, her video is not that of a country background video depicting, the typical country, songs and videos she release country song, great, but she’s not a country song, artist and the song should not have debuted at number one
