No, it wasn’t that she was too country singing in R&B no one had a problem with her singing R&B. They would say she was too country due to her country accent that sounded country and ghetto when she spoke
@@TerrellAmarithere was nothing ghetto about her accent, she grew up middle class in the suburbs. i find it funny how y’all don’t call any white female country artists with deep voices ghetto too
Fun Fact... This album was actually Act i, initially, and Renaissance was meant as Act ii. Due to the pandemic, Bey decided to hold off on putting this one out. Once the shutdowns ended and we were able to get "back outside" she and her team decided that RENAISSANCE should go out first - because it was what the world needed. Dance, free expression, fun and partying. So this county genre-blend album has just been sitting for a few years and was supposed to be the FIRST album release, which is WILD when you consider it.
I think the later half of the album leaning towards more Renaissance vibes is because Cowboy Carter was supposed to be released first! Like the transition from Amen into I’m That Girl are damn near flawless!
Truly I think this too, a good chunk of the track list couldn’t easily be mixed in with a couple renaissance songs. Definitely with American requiem and in that girl, but we still have act 3 to look forward to, and I hope by then I have the money to go see her perform live 😭💔
The backlash is hypocrisy….. That’s like telling Tina Turner because she was making a certain genre with Ike, she could never make Private Dancer…. History was made and she was rock n roll.
Cowboy carter is most definitely her best work! Its just unlike anything that weve heard before this had me second guess Renaissance for a while. The album is so rich in storytelling with sounds of traditional , modern ,and alternate country, but at the same time this is a beyonce albums!! This is how music is supposed to feel. Im just in complete awe of this body of work im so scared for ACT III.
The dog whistling from critics made me seriously underestimate this album. But after listening to it, it’s crazy good. She deserves her flowers for being one of the most daring and incredible artists of our generation
I'm not that big of a Beyonce fan, but you absolutely cannot deny this woman's artistry. Cowboy Carter is an absolutely beautiful album from top to bottom that made me want to go back and listen to the rest of her discography.
Thank god im not the only one who love Bodyguard it might be the next cuff it plus summer is around the corner it feel like a summer beach tune such a vibe it deserves to be a single.
this very much reminds me of how when i was at work one time a rap song by a black artist was playing on the radio and the managers demanded the radio station be changed because it was innapropriate for the workplace, but when an eminem rap song played, they said it was okay
Real fact, Black people originated blues that is the predecessor to what we called country music. So what's the big deal about Beyonce going country? #LeaveBeyonceAlone
True. But I do think it's okay to critique something u don't like as long as you aren't being racist. For example I don't enjoy beyonces country music because I've never really liked country music .
Daughter is the best track imo also the paino part is fur Elise alot of old western music would do interpolation of classical. It's such an amazing song felt so stagy. The opera bit was pretty incredible too.
If beyonce, and miley dont win best country duo/ group performance at the grammys for the song 2 most wanted next year im gonna be very upset about it lol.
The most beautiful part of this album is its complexity. There’s so much to dive into, the way she puts together a complete cohesive body of work should be studied. Her brain is amazing.
Mannnnn being black is so HARD 😂😂😂😂 like it’s weird. Yet. We allow people who aren’t black like Post Malone to come out with rap music and Miley can play around with trap music and we didn’t complain. We embraced it. It’s just annoying BUT CONGRATS BEYONCE for doing what you want.
I love that no two people have the same list of favorites. Some like the slower songs while some like the faster ones and everything in between. It is for this reason it is a successful album because there is something for everyone.
I tried to text Beyonce team to release a opera album before this one came out.😂 Im so happy for this one song. I can relate although I did not kill anyone. Being a fathers daughter of a sinful man is hard.
If these same whiners who don't like Beyonce doing country accept Aaron Lewis, a NU-METAL singer as a country artist, I invite them to have a big cup of shut the funk up
Body guard, 16 carriages, 2 hands 2 heaven, 2 most wanted, 16 carriages, Jolene. Oh baby these songs take me away. I also LOVE ya ya but i need to see it live! Much like black parade. I need to hear a live version to fall in love i think
I honestly enjoyed this album a lot. It's not the twangy southern country sound I had been expecting. It's such a nice blend of Bey's pop and hip-hop sound blended with country. I'd be interested to hear her go full country just for an experiment. She's such a powerhouse that I feel like it would be so good. Daughter and Spaghetii are my two personal favorite tracks right now but the whole album is great. Her cover of Jolene is simply divine.
Country music is the first music for black people years ago and not sure if people knew it or know it...... Beyonce carter -knowles songs isn't that bad in my opinion
I always love your interesting commentary backed with facts checking/ researching ❤ The fact that people still don’t understand or undermine her mix of artistry is baffling because its literally so obvious. She’s just in her own lane we see so many artists do exactly that but not get the same backlash she gets. And i hate to even say this but her being a successful black woman worldwide is something they hate to see. She more than earned her place time and time again whether you’re a fan or not you can’t deny that❤
You can hear Beyonce to a traditional country acts who have been in country music for the entirety of their career not just doing it as a Trilogy trend😂😂😂😂😂
I understand why people got so much to say about Beyonce. Reading these comments a lot of people seem not to understand what Beyonce is doing with CC. Her message. Here references in the songs. Well if you are a causal listener to Beyonce music you won’t get it. If you don’t know some music history. You don’t get it. For example, “cowboy” is what they called the black ranchers back in the day and cowhands is what was classed the white ranchers. The term “boys” is used to dehumanize black man. Also carter has a meaning beside her last name as Carter is a person that sold a lot of balls country music. Also Beyonce does not do interviews. She is not going on podcasts and such explaining this to people. Her real fans and people who understand music rather if they like Beyonce or not get it. I don’t think Beyonce needs to do more interviews but I think people are confused because she is just on such a high artistic level. We don’t have as many artists in the music industry with her level of popularity really pushing their creativity.
Ahhhh JOLENE IS NOT about Jay-Z! It’s about Matthew, Beyonce’s father. She’s singing this from her mother’s perspective! The clue is in the fact she said something along the lines of “I’m a girl from Louisiana”, which her mother’s from and we all know her father cheated. Now it makes sense. That said, DAUGHTER, the track that follows immediately after JOLENE is talking about Beyonce’s own fantasy of what she wants to do to Becky (with the good hair) that’s why she named it “daughter”. It’s genius when you think about it!
Can we stop being surprised a Canadian singer did country music? I find it super silly !!! Canada actually has a very rich country culture and history ! Especially in Calgary alberta Canada and many differ areas in Canada! Our cowboy culture goes wayyyyy far back to the colonial time.. therfore stop bringing up Shania twain like she shouldn't be doing country music .. she grew up in a small town in Ontario Canada that is very country area!
Follow the dots… jayz does his dumb speech about how she never made album of the year when she literally has one of the most wins for songs… he’s trying to pin her way for win of album of the year…
I don’t think the album is meant to be sonically cohesive, she took a page out of the Beatles white album and Prince’s Sign o The times album who dove thru different genres without it connecting.
I feel like Cowboy Carter was kind of bloated and could've been reduced by a few tracks, but it's still a great entrance into country music for Beyonce. That said, I do prefer Renaissance since it's more focused and cohesive and has more tracks that I return to more often.
Not my genre of music, but Beyoncé did had a few standout tracks on this record. Overall, I wouldn’t listen to this in its entirety ever again, but it’s decent.
I love Beyonce but I’m not excited for this era because I’m not a country fan. But even without listening to it Ik Bey killed it. Beyonce is from Texas y is anyone surprised or trying to exclude her from the country scene. She is a Queen give her some respect
it's crazy how when she was in Destiny's Child, she was "too country" singing in r&b songs but now she's not country enough? Which is it?
It’ll never be enough.
Devils advocate that was a quarter century ago
No, it wasn’t that she was too country singing in R&B no one had a problem with her singing R&B. They would say she was too country due to her country accent that sounded country and ghetto when she spoke
@@TerrellAmarithere was nothing ghetto about her accent, she grew up middle class in the suburbs. i find it funny how y’all don’t call any white female country artists with deep voices ghetto too
It never had to do with her singing, it had to do with her demeanor and how she spoke was country
The fact she is literally a COUNTRY GIRL and people telling her she can't do country music is INSANE!!!
that part
I mean just cause she’s country doesn’t make her a country singer lol
@@Blaccasflast time i checked, country music was for anyone to make.
@@TH-camaccount50512the only thing cringe and attention starved here is you ❤

Tbh I think Beyonce is giving out some of her best work rn.I love how experimental & versatile she's gotten with her albums.
These hollyweird jerks have destroyed pop music and now they're coming for the country music????
I think this is one of the best mainstream albums of the past decade. It is experimental, non-apologetic, and STRONG.
Yea it’s so fun and different from what others are doing.
Agreed. This is something that started with BEYONCÉ (2013). In my opinion
People just can't comprehend a country song that isn't about drinking and comparing their spouses body to a dirt road
Lmao 😂
Wow! For what you’re saying its seems like you hate country
Aye not too much on Sam hunt lol I loved that song when it first came out
Damn, I love your comment 💕
@@kailester4807 I like that song in an Alanis Morissette ironic kind of way
"Beyoncé can't do country"
Isn't she literally Texan?
Omg you again 😂👋 Yaaaas period. Black people literally created country music. Those people just need to admit they’re bigots and keep it moving. 🙃
Yeah but she’s black
Fun Fact...
This album was actually Act i, initially, and Renaissance was meant as Act ii.

Same! I love the Song so much!
WTF that no one talked about her operatic coupled song DAUGHTER?!!! That's the most expensive sound ever done by her.
It isn't the first time she's done that. She's been doing this since Destiny's child's but she usually puts them in the background 😩😭
@@torashi._I think she did a hint of it on independent women. I live for it.
She did Ava Maria but I’m not sure if that’s opera
@@smilealwaysnatasha3423 she does this art song but in her belty voice

Daddy lessons of the lemonade album was classic country. People just love to hate her
BLACK PEOPLE CREATED COUNTRY! The audacity of people telling a black artist they can't get in to a genre that was trailblazed by us is astounding...
Yes yes yes yes
Right like be so forreal. Elvis Theftley stole his whole sound from a black woman
Literally
The southerners are just being southerners again 🙄
How?

it’s mid

Not Alliigator Tears being one of your favs and not mentioned in the video😭 Lol that song is so pretty

Looooove it
She stepped her game up once again. Pretty much every time she releases something

The bass on that track is top notch 😮💨 We definitely need an extended version
@@gingerr_rrootsthank you for your response. I’ve been wondering what Justice for desert eagle meant.
DOSIDOOOOOO
Why is no one talking about Tyrant? 😭
The best song on the album 😭
@@jasminejames127 so underrated, it should've been the single
One of my faves
it is a fan fav tho. The views on ths visualizer tells especially.
personally, I prefer Cowboy Carter over Renaissance and the only critique I have is that album is a little bit too long
Love both albums and it's VERY hard to pick One....i love Renaissance way too much But i love Cowboy Carter too.
