  • It was the best concert of my life, bar none. Idc!    It was extraordinary, it was ineffable.  I knew I loved it based on the videos but I... Hey I don't know.    Best moment

    I know this award is a joke but the point is, she has cemented herself in history with the likes of Whitney and Lauryn. And on top of that she won an award for a genre that completely ridiculed and ex

If Kamala wins, Bey should perform Blackbird acoustically. I guarantee it would go straight to a Top5 position. The lyrics are just too perfect :jonny2:

Im already tearing up just imagining that.

Imagine Bey performing Texas Hold 'Em if Kamala wins and ends up winning over Texas and turning it BLUE.

 

Texas Hold 'Em would go STRAIGHT to number 1!!! :WAP:

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

Yes, but this is only part of the problem with ppl's perception of the album. Which is kind of understandable, yet unfortunate, but she's not the only artist who's fell into this fanfare slump- and, obviously, doesn't give a damn. 
 

I have yet to understand why there's a lack of understanding, only on this forum I've seen, where ppl can give detailed or rushed reason as to why "COWBOY CARTER", specifically, is not their cup of tea and it has to be acknowledged that their wrong. 
 

I've seen answers about the production value,  compared to "RENAISSANCE", and that's one thing that I agree with. I've seen ppl state that they just do not like Country music or her version of Country, the track listing is off, it feels unauthentic in some areas, or everyone's favorite, it's simply too long for no reason. 
 

For me personally, I'd rank the album below "RENAISSANCE" and "LEMONADE", almost lower than "BEYONCÉ", because I don't personally feel as though the theme was flushed out completely, it's too obvious where things were drafted at the last minute sound wise and songs feeling completely out of place. Sonically, this is where a lot of the album suffers. There's too many ideas that don't come together, which was demonstrated PERFECTLY on RENI and LEM, and LEM managed to do better with multiple genres and distinctive sounds. It also doesn't help to make a concept piece dependent of a visual component to be fully realized, but don't include the visual component. Some songs need visuals to have a full circle moment in the story telling, I didn't feel this way with RENI. Though RENI blends every 2-3 songs into its own chapter of the story, each song makes sense as a standalone, which is ironic since a lot of songs on CC are great in the illustration and message. This just goes back to the full idea not being realized in the end. 


 

I don't this is her best album, by any means. Had it been a project not tied to the missing visuals or the uneventful trilogy, where she better explained her intentions and artistry for ppl to better understand the point, it could've been a on par to being her best album. I just don't feel as though this album was fully thought out before the release date was official. Miles ahead of everyone who's jumped on the country bandwagon, her contemporaries outings or those of which feel she didn't deserve a spot in Country just not the best in this household. 
 

 

Please don't offended or feel as if I'm jumping on just your comment, because these are not my intentions. I just agreed with part of your statement, but also, see it from another angle because of my own opinion of the album vs her actions after the release. 

Also, as much as I prefer Renaissance over Cowboy Carter. Cowboy Carter was already set up to be a HUGE era. Wayyy bigger than Rennie ngl. Listening to that album it IMMEDIATELY sounds like a classic. Musicality wise it's on par with Rennie. But I think Rennie is just much more experimental and done a LITTLE better.

Beyoncé is the type of talent that would be a STAR in every era of music. A Beyoncé-Quincy Jones album would've been lit. 

 

I don't know if any of you followed him but I did and it hurts that he's gone. I even followed him on social media so it's sad. Glad we have artists like Beyoncé who still vividly incorporates his impact into her music and sound.

Trump using atrl base drags. He said she wasn't going to sing for Kamala she just wanted to collect a check and leave. A broken clock is right twice a day 

 

 

Every day I ask myself why Beyoncé chose not to participate in the ALS ice bucket challenge in 2015. 

The fact that favé has already given the greatest Quincy tribute :weeps:

The background vocals on GMB especially on the "wind it back gurl" part TAKE ME OUT every time. Beyoncé came to the studio that day to SING iktr :clap3:

 

If Bible'Day isn't part of your top 5 are you even a Beyoncé fan? :sistrens:

What is going on akfakljsafj She is so confusing! 

 

But to the Americans... what B said... VOTE !

I have to hand it to her, releasing a music video troll to encourage people to vote is the best thing she could have done with her platform right now. 
 

anyway this was cute but it's still not a music video so let's not get too complacent, lobbyist hive

She looks so freaking good and is eye-******* with the camera so hard god I miss music videos :jonny3:

Also - if you're reading this and you're a US citizen, please vote for Kamala. Anything else *is* a vote for Trump. You can protest the two party system once you ensure a rap*st isn't sitting in the Oval Office. Priorities!

The delulu in me saw two main things

 

1. The "people like to start **** and pop ****" felt like a direct response to the nonsensical conspiracies around her

 

2. Ending it on "I'm bout to lose it, turn around and john wayne that asss" the way she did with that close up felt like a WARNING

Is anyone else finding that CC is hitting differently as we the colder weather settles in? It's perfect for this season.

This needs to be highlighted. For whatever reason, I literally started to go back to CC last week and cant stop listening. :jonnykin:
