urgent!! I was a trans woman and I was a prostitute and I also married several men and I was not happy. I traveled to many countries in search of happiness, I even sought happiness in drugs and drinking, it was a way I tried to fill the void in my heart. One day I was in my apartment in Rio de Janeiro in Ipanema with a guy, so I sent him away and talked to God to show me if hell was real. So I left and my soul left my body and I saw terrible things, souls falling into despair with a look of anguish and pain. they asked me for help and I saw the devil take the souls of those people. I heard screams, crying and despair. It was horrible. I saw my grandfather who died of a heart attack because he was an alcoholic and my grandfather died drunk. was there to drag him was terrible. I also saw a woman and a man who died here in Brazil in a fire in a nightclub called Kiss. the woman danced on her tortured nails, her gaze desperate. then I returned to earth and called a friend and my mother and told them what I had seen in hell. Today I am sure that hell is real and terrible. I have given my life to Jesus Christ, I read the Christian Bible, I follow the commandments of the Lord Jesus Christ, and I look forward to the return of Jesus Christ because I know that I will live in heaven with Jesus Christ. I cut my hair, removed the silicone and today I live assuming my original identity as a boy. I'm not a trans woman anymore because I know that's a sin and I know that there are sinners in hell who commit sins against God, whoever commits sin pleases the devil and when he dies he goes to hell!

Both sisters are so different with their work, but both equally talented & beautiful. Everyone's entitled to their opinions yes, but my point is she's not doing anything wrong, she's encouraging younger generations to stand up for themselves black/white through music and her visual creations, she's more famous because of destiny's child & years of experience, Solange went through a lot of shit as everyone knows being a young mother, finally found herself musically during seat at my table, I'm sure Bey is more prouder than Solange is of herself & she is very protective of Bey, behind the fame & fortune their is genuine love. I personally think Beyonce' don't give a F about the fame, given a global platform to voice on for the sake of making the world a better place, even if it means fxcking up a few things, if I was in her shoes, I certainly wouldn't. She represented the southern culture in this video, all in all if I was Messy Mya, I'd probably be annoyed too, but humbled at the fact she doing the black america culture proud by showing the world America or white privileged americans, do not define african americans as the abomination of the earth.

And what u looking up these ppl for it was all planned for her to do this they can't respect each other as a couple how do they respect black ppl jay z can't even respect his wife sap

table kun I hope sooo 😭😭 watching bey with her lemonade opus was like watching what gaga was supposed to be in terms of pushing the envelope in music industry, but she didn't... Still happy cause she made a record that was healing for her tho
5 years ago today, #Beyonce released “Formation.” The track was met with universal critical acclaim and sparked conversation on race relations in the US. It went on to win a Grammy Award, six VMAs and become a cultural phenomenon - ranking as the most Googled song of 2016.
The fact that she got boycotted by the police and was turned against by New York's mayor when this came out. Ridiculous. A great song, with a great message. Just ahead of its time.
@@malouf.4456 it infuriates me but yeah you’re so right! Really hope that all cops that are racist got scared of the massive reaction people nowadays give when something terrible happens. It was never okay, but it definitely needs to stop now! Enough is enough! 😤
Ffh Ffhns i know but that means that her music is excellent and that is just tea. 4 was leaked a month before its release and it became her lowest-selling album. I would've gone multi-platinium in the US... and ever since she's played herself but managed to have the best selling album by a black female this decade with BEYONCÉ (6.9M in pure sales and 9M SPS) and Lemonade is the best selling album of 2016 so she ISN'T a flop, not to mention Te Formation World Tour grossed 260M from 49 shows. But i mean, if she did the promo right, Lemonade would be at 5/6M by now even tho 2016 has the worst sales climate ever, but it is at 3M by now... and Formation could've turned into a HUGE WW smash hit. She's playing herself.
White man from Idaho here. I have no idea what you have been through. But I love you. And am here to listen and learn. You MATTER! Not just to me, but to the future of this country. I love you. Keep on keepin on!!!
I dont need to say sht to prove I'm not racist. Fk out of here with this bs everyone need to stop shooting eachother. 9 unarmed blacks killed by police in 2019. 45 cops dead. Who's really at risk. But people don't like facts do they. Stop buying into this bs
This video is truly ICONIC. Y’all have no idea how this song empowered me as a black woman in 2016. I was able to get my shit together in a year and I continue to twirl on my haters. I was also able to love myself the way I are thanks to Formation. This song is definitely a classic in my books.
It is already old, like a couple of months old. More than 6 months maybe? You know I am more than 34 years old. Listening to this song is like listening to a baby. You know what I mean? Do you like babies? I think they are cute, so innocent and so sweet. I wanna have babies like crazy! :)
Shelby Kernisant what are you talking about???? I’m a black woman extending the same love to white women as well.... Please stop with your nonsense... you’re the reasoning for separation... #LetThatSinkIn #KnockItOff
Taylor Swift fans are somewhere right now punching the air. This woman is AMAZING! Her use of textures, Blackbird with the other country artists, the attention to detail, the precision. She can’t be touched and it’s undeniable at this point.
A lot of people consider this song to be anti-white but I'd like to consider it pro black. Some white people like to think blacks showing pride in their race means they are trying to downgrade whites. That is simply not the case. It is just black people being proud of their heritage and culture and where they come from. I do not see what is wrong with that
As someone who is white and Native, it's really a shame to see how much white people seem to think that pro-this automatically means anti-that. Just look at BLM. I'm pro-BLM, but that certainly doesn't make me anti-police. Or how they seem to think pro-choice also means pro-abortion. It's ridiculous. Brings a whole new meaning to black-and-white.
Exactly, not ONCE did she say anything negative about white people. She's proud of herself and her people. You hit the nail on the head with this description :)

i am studying beyoncé for my a level media course, i've always loved her but analysing formation in full detail made me realise even more how incredible she is as a pop icon. there's seriously nobody else doing it like her, there's so much attention to detail and so much to unpick. props to bey, ion know what bell hooks was talking about edit: RIP bell hooks ❤️
same as well! i've used formation and lemonade on my finale's research and defense presentation. i will say, the one thing i've learned about this whole storyline from beyonce is so compelling if you're part of the discussion that tackles the pride of ancestry and the beauty of its heritage. this'll be her magnum opus forever that'll transcend more to many generations to come.
hahaha the same but I just learn it from our lecture not for the homework…but I do not fully understand about this mv in relation to representation, how do you think about in your course？
@J Cor Thank you. Just had words with some snowflake who can't spell but God forbid she can't leave her ugly ass opinion all up in here!!! They fight & and argue & and hate about so many things, they forget how this video started!!!! Children!! This is a "Music Video", hence, the audio/visual references.... Stop thinking "oh, I need to be all Gucci & gorgeous.... You're forgetting the POINT!!
i think apeshit is her best music video BUT this one is a close second and this song/ video definitely had more culture impact. she defended the rest of the decade with “formation” 👸🏾
the day she dropped formation is a day that should be in history books. the whole LEMONADE ERA & BEYONCÈ’s IMPACT during 2016 needs to be studied and put in the books. she’s forever insane & iconic.
I attended the Renaissance tour last month and Bey played this song as an extra and when I tell you we lost it when it came on. The slow boil ultimately cultivated in a grand party that we all couldn’t get enough of. Thank you queen Bey for this experience ❤️🔥
I literally would’ve cried hearing this live. I remember when she debuted the song at the Super Bowl performance with Bruno Mars and Maroon 5 I believe. It was a groundbreaking experience for people of color, but she really showed the world that she meant business when she dropped this track.🎉

Waldo Waldo the reason is that this video had already been uploaded on youtube by a fake channel, not by beyoncèVEVO... now I think it has been deleted but I saw the video on that channel, and there were about 200 million views.
This video came out on February 6th. Everyone saw it on her website, bought it on TIDAL, watched one that someone else posted, or saw the one that she had private. She made it public because it was nominated for the Grammys.
Exactly. I heard that message loud and clear while racists are talking about her revealing clothes or if she is black enough (oh come ON!). The women of America will be in formation in November. this song is a call to duty.
@Sandra cooper That's rude, Confidence can get you places, but you do need to have something to back it up. Without Confidence your education will do little since you don't have the confidence to use it. Without Education your confidence will make you look like a douche and a fake.
Awww!!! Good!!! Always be proud to be black!! Know your hair and skin are beautiful and God-given! So happy to see someone be happy to be themselves. Self love is important
Idk why yall worried with the views when the message is more important than this. I'm sure Beyoncé doesn't care for views or sales when she's giving her message. I don't care if this video has only 8M or 100M views Formation is the most awarded video by a female artist of all time (I'm happy that everyone is catching the message that *BLACK LIVES MATTER* and being black is beautiful) and y'all worried about views, omg stfu.
Princess Ivy I'm happy it's getting the recognition it should be getting but it is not the most awarded video of all time. "Bad Romance" by Lady Gaga is then it's Beyonces "Single Ladies". Formation is in the Top 10 female videos but it is not the most awarded female video
I'm not much of a Bey fan but hands down she knows how to slay! This song is so dope I can't believe it doesn't have more views... People don't actually know whats real music today!!!
because she only released it on youtube in december of 2016 after it became grammy nominated. had she done it right away, it would have more than 500 million
Also the incident where two reporters/journalists mocked Blue Ivy's looks. Said things like she gon grow up and get a surgery like Kylie Jenner. I got nothing against anyone getting surgeries, everyone should do whatever makes them feel like a bawse. But that comment was slightly funny. The bodily features on which those people's surgeries were based on (features = lips/breasts/butt/whatever) are the natural features that majority of black women have. lol.
If they dont leave her THE FUDGE alone (i wanted to cuss so bad) BLACK WOMEN OR BLACK GIRLS can NEVER be great with these mfs around! We cant never do nun!
Formation's chorus is a double meaning. " Ok ladies now let's get in formation." " Ok ladies now let's get INFORMATION." Absolute genius!

Can’t believe it’s been a whole 5 years since Beyoncé dropped Lemonade. Such a timeless album
Right!
@Jon Purisima its crazy to think she’s gonna top herself yet again... we all thought Self Titled would be her peak but right after that we got Lemonade and the Formation tour
I was too young and naive to understand it. And it just waited for me to get it one day.
Then y is the illumanti all over the internet asking ppl to join the famous influencers are in it ..
And yeah jay z s interview about cheating on Beyonce he says new illumanti .... And what u looking up these ppl for it was all planned for her to do this they can't respect each other as a couple how do they respect black ppl jay z can't even respect his wife sap
dropped like a deuce
This is when Beyonce started to care less about charts and sales, but more about ART!!!
She has always cared about art and made that point clear from the beginning. The hive knows. She just grew and evolved so well as an artist.
Shhhhhhhhhhh

The track was met with universal critical acclaim and sparked conversation on race relations in the US. It went on to win a Grammy Award, six VMAs and become a cultural phenomenon - ranking as the most Googled song of 2016.

LemonJuice she actually does. She's played herself so much ever since 4 flopped due to its leak...
Guillem Gamell she isn't a flop tho. lol her album has a 92 rating and the best album of 2016
Ffh Ffhns if she isn't a flop how come she's only sold 2M in a year and Adele has sold 20M?🤗
Ffh Ffhns i know but that means that her music is excellent and that is just tea. 4 was leaked a month before its release and it became her lowest-selling album. I would've gone multi-platinium in the US... and ever since she's played herself but managed to have the best selling album by a black female this decade with BEYONCÉ (6.9M in pure sales and 9M SPS) and Lemonade is the best selling album of 2016 so she ISN'T a flop, not to mention Te Formation World Tour grossed 260M from 49 shows. But i mean, if she did the promo right, Lemonade would be at 5/6M by now even tho 2016 has the worst sales climate ever, but it is at 3M by now... and Formation could've turned into a HUGE WW smash hit. She's playing herself.

She always advocated for women and human rights in ever song she writes. I fully support her
@Night Skies lol what was your point for responding if you read and understood the post.
@Night Skies this song talk about afro feminism too
A lot of people consider this song to be anti-white but I'd like to consider it pro black. Some white people like to think blacks showing pride in their race means they are trying to downgrade whites. That is simply not the case. It is just black people being proud of their heritage and culture and where they come from. I do not see what is wrong with that
As someone who is white and Native, it's really a shame to see how much white people seem to think that pro-this automatically means anti-that. Just look at BLM. I'm pro-BLM, but that certainly doesn't make me anti-police. Or how they seem to think pro-choice also means pro-abortion. It's ridiculous. Brings a whole new meaning to black-and-white.
Petty King it's because they're intimidated 🙄 and now they feel like they have to get offended and bring everyone down a notch.
Exactly, not ONCE did she say anything negative about white people. She's proud of herself and her people. You hit the nail on the head with this description :)

Hey Queen Bey I ❤ you Queen Bey
urgent!! I was a trans woman and I was a prostitute and I also married several men and I was not happy. I traveled to many countries in search of happiness, I even sought happiness in drugs and drinking, it was a way I tried to fill the void in my heart. One day I was in my apartment in Rio de Janeiro in Ipanema with a guy, so I sent him away and talked to God to show me if hell was real. So I left and my soul left my body and I saw terrible things, souls falling into despair with a look of anguish and pain. they asked me for help and I saw the devil take the souls of those people. I heard screams, crying and despair. It was horrible. I saw my grandfather who died of a heart attack because he was an alcoholic and my grandfather died drunk. was there to drag him was terrible. I also saw a woman and a man who died here in Brazil in a fire in a nightclub called Kiss. the woman danced on her tortured nails, her gaze desperate. then I returned to earth and called a friend and my mother and told them what I had seen in hell. Today I am sure that hell is real and terrible. I have given my life to Jesus Christ, I read the Christian Bible, I follow the commandments of the Lord Jesus Christ, and I look forward to the return of Jesus Christ because I know that I will live in heaven with Jesus Christ. I cut my hair, removed the silicone and today I live assuming my original identity as a boy. I'm not a trans woman anymore because I know that's a sin and I know that there are sinners in hell who commit sins against God, whoever commits sin pleases the devil and when he dies he goes to hell! Jesus Christ loves you. accept Jesus Christ while you are alive. because if you die without Jesus Christ you will suffer eternally in hell. here is terrible!!!bhbcxxy

me too we should compare notes
same as well! i've used formation and lemonade on my finale's research and defense presentation. i will say, the one thing i've learned about this whole storyline from beyonce is so compelling if you're part of the discussion that tackles the pride of ancestry and the beauty of its heritage. this'll be her magnum opus forever that'll transcend more to many generations to come.

Idk why yall worried with the views when the message is more important than this. I'm sure Beyoncé doesn't care for views or sales when she's giving her message. I don't care if this video has only 8M or 100M views Formation is the most awarded video by a female artist of all time (I'm happy that everyone is catching the message that *BLACK LIVES MATTER* and being black is beautiful) and y'all worried about views, omg stfu.

I had to study this song for my Media studies exam. I ended up almost failing because I was vibing to the song instead of analysing the video
I'm not much of a Bey fan but hands down she knows how to slay! This song is so dope I can't believe it doesn't have more views... People don't actually know whats real music today!!!

Why doesn't this have 1 billion views? It's a masterpiece!
Bey is a QUEEN 👑
She's more like a diva. Madonna is queen.
because she only released it on youtube in december of 2016 after it became grammy nominated. had she done it right away, it would have more than 500 million
Igor Marques she doesn’t promote her music but she still beat everybody else’s sales
Joe Escobar no she is the queen Madonna is the diva 💁🏻♀️
All the world saw her slayed
There is only ONE BEYONCE. She is the QUEEN. Pure genius
Beyonce is nasty
Beyoncé is the queen

the fact people were mad that her daughter had a afro is sad
Thanks for all the likes
what's wrong with having afro?
@@lal330 nothing
Also the incident where two reporters/journalists mocked Blue Ivy's looks. Said things like she gon grow up and get a surgery like Kylie Jenner.
I got nothing against anyone getting surgeries, everyone should do whatever makes them feel like a bawse.
But that comment was slightly funny.
The bodily features on which those people's surgeries were based on (features = lips/breasts/butt/whatever) are the natural features that majority of black women have. lol.
If they dont leave her THE FUDGE alone (i wanted to cuss so bad) BLACK WOMEN OR BLACK GIRLS can NEVER be great with these mfs around! We cant never do nun!
