Kristie Kuwa Posted November 4 Posted November 4 CC is unrightfully dragged by the Hive imho. If you solely look at highs, CC has the following to offer: - American Requiem - Blackbird: you can fight me on that for however long u wish, but her singing this song as a black woman and inviting upcoming Black female country artists on it will forever be gorgeous to me - 16 Carriages - Alligator Tears: again, fight me, idc. This one is hypnotizing to me - Ya Ya - Tyrant - Bodyguard - 2 Hands 2 Heaven - Sweet/Honey/Buckin Like hello, these are NOT bad songs at all and actually diversify Beys discography beautifully 4 2

Blackbiird needs to be there. It's the perfect juxtaposition for Ameriican Requiem: On Ameriican Requiem she takes a lot of sounds from The Beatles (some of the instrumentation is very Revolver-era Beatles, those "looka dere, looka dere" sound much like the adlibs at the end of Hey Jude) and then she goes into a Beatles song. She's not trying to pay homage to the Beatles, they were never included in the collages for Been Country and she's never mentioned them as inspiration. But she's taking their sound just like they took many of the stylings of their early stuff from black r&b girlgroups. Most of those groups went unknown while they are to this day treated as musical geniuses. Her putting together a black girlgroup to sing a song a white british guy wrote about the black woman experience in America is quite perfect. Those two songs needed to be together.

And then 16Carriages which literally is her stepping into her Prince bag - Chefs Kiss. I love these 3 together!
Lose My Breath Posted November 4 Posted November 4 Just now, Arrogant said: I had no idea this was a thing. I honestly can't imagine anyone arguing with a straight face that it's not an excellent body of work. They must be mad that she abandoned the era or something, because the music always hits. This is exactly what it is. The album is arguably one of her best works (along with Renaissance), but the problem is, her alienating her fans by the lack of effort to appease them while pushing products, and money grabs has caused some turmoil, and it's starting to reflect in attitudes and opinions of her music 9 1
Fleahive Posted November 4 Posted November 4 Apparently Rihanna liked a Beyonce fan post on Instagram. Are we up or do yall not care?

Theyre a bunch of Morgan wallen girls there was 0 chance they were ever going to embrace a beyonce country album tbh. To be clear, I don't like anyone I work with so I don't support any of their lack of taste.
Kristie Kuwa Posted November 4 Posted November 4 (edited) If Kamala wins, Bey should perform Blackbird acoustically. I guarantee it would go straight to a Top5 position. The lyrics are just too perfect Im already tearing up just imagining that. Edited November 4 by Kristie Kuwa
Kalmanta Posted November 4 Posted November 4 It hurts that the days we got her performing on almost every occasion are gone. 1

At Last for the Obamas already set her apart from every last one of her peers. And if she did all of that for Hillary, she's showing tf out for a Kamala victory 2 1

Kristie Kuwa Posted November 4 Posted November 4 (edited) Also we dont talk enough how this ***** is able to serve performances where she not only elevates her own songs, but where literally every single shot is flawfree. Like, the execution is just marvellous. Not one faulty note, not one look that looks bad, everything graceful, beautiful, gorgeous. Oh Bey, despite ur best efforts to make my blood boil, I could never not stan you Edited November 4 by Kristie Kuwa 1

I know most people seem to like it but where is the real praise? I don't see it. S/H/B is also not mentioned enough, i get the sing structure may not be most peoples cup of tea but is definitely a highlight, Shaboozeys part is great. 4
Kalmanta Posted November 4 Posted November 4 I just recently revisited the 30th Anniversary for MJ back in 2001 and I would love to see something on this scale for Bey someday, maybe as soon as 2027 for her own 25th anniversary.

Joaco95 Posted November 4 Posted November 4 CC has one of her best work/songs but I dont think thats her best album

I think she's intentionally not making a big deal about her longevity. She's one of the first pop stars to last this long on top in a post-Madonna world, so she's navigating it carefully. Aging isn't as big of a deal anymore in the industry, but it seems like she's treading lightly and choosing to focus on the present. Just look at the way other pop stars acknowledge the anniversary of every album, every year. Bey did that with ST's ten years, Lemonade's 5 years, and DIL's 10 years. That's it. 5
