So, for Daddy Lessons. Beyonce talks about her father. Who was the manager of Destiny Child before the group fired him. He also cheated on her mother and had a child with his mistress. Now, Papa Knowles was very strict and no nonsense. He had her running in high heels to train her for her dreams to come true. He had her studying music and how to create harmonies. She was ALWAYS working. At one point Beyonce wasn't speaking to him because he cheated while working for her. It was crazy. her mom, of course, moved on and remarried. But it was rough. Jay Z, himself and his own cheating, actually helped her forgive her father.
This album with the accompanied movie told a story so deep, so complete, raw and honest. Knowing how private Beyoncé keeps her live this was her truly bearing her soul. Grammy’s don’t mean much in comparison to the art but damn! If Beyoncé ever deserved a Grammy for album of the year it would’ve been this one. She literally takes you on a journey and the movie even tells another story that’s buried within this one. I can’t put into words how brilliant this album was and still is to this day! Brava 👏🏾
When you were talking about the different styles of music some have said the song reflect the 7 stages of grief: depression, denial, bargaining, loneliness, anger, sadness and acceptance
This is correct! In the visuals it was divided in 12 chapters: intuition , denial, anger, apathy, emptiness, loss, accountability, reformation, forgiveness, resurrection, hope, redemption. In the visual (movie) that was released with the album, the 12 stages are accompanied with beautiful poetry written by Warsan Shire, spoken by Beyoncé. It is so beautiful I can’t even put it in to words. You literally follow the journey and have extra context to what the pain did to/for her and how she had to overcome it.
She performed this at the CMA's with the Dixie Chicks. They wanted her to do it solo but Beyoncé said she would only perform with the Dixie Chicks. The CMA'S had Black Balled from the CMA'S and B wanted them to perform Daddy lessons with her because the Dixie Chicks had already gotten permission from B to perform the song on their tours.
As a Beyoncé fan for so many years, I absolutely loved your reaction! I’m so glad you felt everything I’m still feeling when I listen to it! Thank you✨
Thank you for letting us relive the first time listening to this masterpiece. I enjoyed your video very much, your reactions and emotions were so relatable.
You should watch some of her live performances from this era. She really put her all in. Sandcastles/Love Drought at the Grammys, Daddy Lessons at the CMAs, Formation at the SuperBowl. She basically performed the entire album (medley) at the VMAs, which themselves named the greatest TV performance of all time. I see you already reacted to Freedom at the BET Awards.
Amazing reaction by an intelligent person finally. I love that u get it. Now u know why Adele broke her Album of The Year Grammy when she won over Beyonce's Lemonade. Biggest scandal in Grammy history especially after Beyonce's previous album, self-titled, a game changer in the music industry, lost album of the year to Beck.
@@satriaprimadana8436 nah he didnt. Beyoncés self tilted literally changed the music industry and was a global phenomenon. Nothing could be compared to that album
The visuals/film for Lemonade is an absolute must see! Poetry by Warsan Shire is spread throughout the film as well. The visuals have tons of cultural significance and fully tell her story. The imagery is intense at times but worth every minute.(Love Drought visuals are my favorite. Ethereal.)
Hmm that's so interesting about your perspective on the "jealous or crazy" line--I like it! I always interpreted it as what is worse: being jealous because it's true that there's someone to be jealous of because that would reveal that you're actually being cheated on OR being crazy because you're being paranoid about being cheated on but it's not actually happening. So to me, Beyoncé is saying that she would rather be mentally ill and have a loyal partner than be proven right in her doubts and investigations that the love of her life has completely betrayed her--that the latter would definitively hurt more. As it turns out, she wasn't crazy.
She really should have. Now, I'm no die-hard Beyoncé fan, but fair is fair. If she deserved the album of the year award for any of her albums... it was hands down lemonade. I also love that Adele, even though she won the award, made sure to give Beyoncé her well-deserved flowers and respect. I don't think anyone in history has ever broken their award in half just to honor another artist.
I also think that freedom is about the freedom she feels coming out of the war that went on in her marriage.. while also being about what you are talking about..i think it's a double entendre for life...her life..our life..
Idk where you’re from but in the South we drink sweet iced tea and its not bad, it goes together well. We also have a concoction that we make when people are sick. It usually has (depending on what your family does) hot tea, whiskey, mint, honey, ginger, etc. It’s actually really good
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 Love the knowledge you imparted with your fans concerning freedom. Definitely a powerful song for the black community. Formation is def an anthem. It’s an answer to all the rumors that ppl spread abt her ( beyonce never responds outside of music). The black bill gates in the making is not saying she’s bigger than him but that as a black American I or someone else & even def her, can reach his level, his prestige, his influence. It’s acknowledging our level of excellence/ the potential of it. 💙♥️❤️
I think Bey & Jay are definitely black Bill Gates in the making. Theyre both worth over a billion dollars & still building. Jay-Z’s deal with the NFL I believe is the next step in him attempting to become the first black NFL team owner. Beyonce is branching out, & they are wisely invested in art.
This is one of my fav of Beyonce! So glad you were able to repost. You'll be reacting to little mix? I saw you're curious about them and I really think you will like their lyrics and vocals
React to more Beyoncé pls!!! - Super Bowl 2013 Halftime Show - Billboard Awards Performance 2011 - Listen (live at Oprah) 2006 - Crazy in love (I Am...World Tour) - Love On Top (Live at Roseland) - Video - "Spirit" + "Bigger" Extended cut from Disney's The Lion King in theaters now (Official Video) - Live Performance - Kobe Bryant Memorial Service - Black is King film - Lemonade Visual Album
The Bill Gates lyric is two-fold. Yes, it is about influence but it also has to do with her and Jay Z other business venues especially in the tech world. And now that I think about it... it could also be about net-worth. Jay Z is a multi-billionaire all on his own. And Beyonce is no slouch. So, that conversation can have so many different levels to it that it would be an interesting conversation to have.
Beyoncé has being my favorite singer but when she released this album throughout Tydal I was a little bit disappointed. But thanks to you I’m going into ITunes right now and buy the whole album. And I’m one of those fans that has all her albums so they shouldn’t take out your video due to copyright infringement. Thank you so much for the valuable and respectful analysis that you’ve made.
Anti is a solid album and I'm glad it exists but I agree it is just not as strong a work as Lemonade. The weight of the subject matter, amazing production, and dynamic lyrics and exceptional performance just outperform Anti but is it something sonically that some people always wanna listen to?--maybe not and so maybe that's where they're coming from?
@@uhuhuh1966 Exactly my point because to a certain extent, art is subjective which is why calling people clowns like you did in your original comment is unbalanced and unfair.
@@EyeGlassTrainofMind it was also a joke and was immediately followed up by saying that I love anti 🤡 also you’ve already said you think Lemonade is a stronger work so I guess you’re unbalanced and unfair as well

Do you guys know why it’s so hard to find her later performances in decent quality on TH-cam? Why is it so hard to upload her VMA medleys or Grammys shows on her page?
pratyusha. Why would it be taken down when being uploaded on her own channel? We know she records every single appearance, has an own archive, she herself confirmed this. Why can’t she and her team not just release of the videos in great quality for more people to appreciate the hard work and craft that got into her performances?
@@kalmanta1824 oh on her channel? idk. she absolutely has an extensive archive. Most of what is released is on tidal, I believe? the rest is just. watch it when it streams or you can't watch it at all. which is a bummer.
But what is the purpose of that archive? Maybe is in the next decades she can release concert films like Homecoming on a regular basis with streaming giants, or it’s just learning material for her, which she can instantly have access to, to further improve her performing skills. Anyway I‘m just mad it’s so hard for us regular folks to watch her most iconic performances in decent quality, when it could be so much easier.
@@kalmanta1824 I have no clue. All I know is that I agree. It's very disappointing when I can't find decent videos of her performances. Which is why so many of us have to resort to the official streams copied by fan websites
Do you think you could actually do some research before all of the speculating? Making up what you think happened or what you THINK she means is irresponsible. Just actually do the research. Please. Seriously.
Relax. Your tone is completely misplaced. His comments were clearly not from a bad place and were just his response and reaction to the music. Zero aspersions or demonstrations of mean spirit. Just a clear appreciation and connection with this amazing body of work. Dont spoil things.
@@tinaamariee832 nah it was just kinda shit... She's a pop singer and she didn't really deliver a pop album I think that's where the problem is Just my opinion
Whiskey & Tea= Hot Tottie, country music and black people go waaaay back, they took the name and we made rock, blues, creole, R&B, jazz music & Hip Hop was born.
To clear up confusion: This is a re-upload. The original version got blocked so I made another one that people can access on TH-cam.
OKay...i knew i wasn't crazy. I went back to watch again and could not find it lol
When did you record it? Just curious in terms of what year it was...
B😢
Could you please to Beyoncé album dangerously in love or I am sasha fierce
I wish you could hear the poetry that was paired with these tracks, the perfect storytelling, timeless, wow.
Don't hurt yourself always makes me want to start a fight with my man 😂😂
😂🤣🥰

Always.
"If you try that sh*t again..." 💍 Meanwhile, that man been doing right. 😤😂

This is spot on! Her father was flawed, but he also taught her what to look out for and what not to accept!

Her 2016 VMA's was fun to watch. Also her 2014 VMA's was underrated performance.

@@satriaprimadana8436 he didn’t ..
Made me cry to see you cry, sandcastles has such a special place to me
This is definitely one of the best Lemonade reactions. Thank you! I will be rewatching this reaction frequently
The visuals/film for Lemonade is an absolute must see! Poetry by Warsan Shire is spread throughout the film as well. The visuals have tons of cultural significance and fully tell her story. The imagery is intense at times but worth every minute.(Love Drought visuals are my favorite. Ethereal.)
This album was a visual album that she dropped with zero promotion. She has a music video for every single song on this album

Wow 🤩 I think you are exactly right regarding “jealous & Crazy!! I played that song over and over now I get that verse. Thank you 🙏🏾
6 inch heels was my favorite transition in the visual. my favorite song of the album!
Incredible album and reaction
Sandcastles FKED ME UP. Like I was full on sobbing. (Cause I been through it. 🥴)
I absolutely love Don't Hurt Yourself with Jack White! The video is 🔥. She should have won Best album.
Also my favorite track on the album
She really should have. Now, I'm no die-hard Beyoncé fan, but fair is fair. If she deserved the album of the year award for any of her albums... it was hands down lemonade.

Still the album of my life. Like that’s it. I’m 27 nothing will be better than this to me
I’d love to see your reaction to some of Solange’s (B’s sis) work. Cranes in the sky, Tony, sandcastle disco, don’t touch my hair, great albums too.
Queen Bey is back! Period! The best summer vibe for all humanity. Very different but dont with such excellence. No surprises, Bey = Excellence.
Such a good reaction, i almost cried with you
Idk where you’re from but in the South we drink sweet iced tea and its not bad, it goes together well. We also have a concoction that we make when people are sick. It usually has (depending on what your family does) hot tea, whiskey, mint, honey, ginger, etc. It’s actually really good
This is one of the best reactions to lemonade I’ve seen!!
Wow this includes very specific reaction, I love this.
This is honestly the best album review of anything I’ve ever seen..and I watch them daily. It was a joy to watch you enjoy Lemonade.
Im so happy this is also my first time hearing this album in its entirety and actually listening to the deeper meaning.. you explained it so well🔥🔥
😂 I love this reaction so much. You’re amazing.
The last part of ‘Hold Up’ pays homage to Soulja Boy.. he has a song called ‘Turn My Swag On’ lol

in daddy lessons, when she says "and men like me come around, my daddy said shoot" its because her dad betrayed her mom with a white woman in the past
