Green Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 I don't see a "drag" Based on that review they didn't like Break My Soul yet it ranked in their top 100 songs of 2022? I guess we will see Texas Hold' em in their year-end too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again anyone who is familiar with Beyonce's celebrity power would not take that seriously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying something is dangerously close means it is almost that, but it's not. And yet the title says they said it IS that. I'm not saying they offered something so far away and completely different, I'm just saying that this thread has purposefully omitted certain words in order for the "drag" to feel more important. That's misleading and factually an incorrect quotation and an incorrect interpretation of their words. And yet no one cares Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trash Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Well, despite her latest projects being critically acclaimed, Beyoncé has always been a big successful commercial artist, so what now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewan Chaos Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 I said the EXACT same thing about the whistle part, easily my least favorite bit of both new songs I mean I thought the rest of Texas is cute (and 16 Carriages is great) but that whistle bit, smh.

Klein Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Well, THE is not even close to the type of excellence Bey displayed on her last three albums. This is really underwhelming. 16 carriages is much better. I still have complete and total faith for the album though, I don't think Bey can disappoint on that front.

suburbannature Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Honestly, true. It sounds like a country parody to me as well. 16 Carriages is fantastic, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swissman Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 32 minutes ago, Espresso said: Wildly incongruous to the point of parody to have them on the same record - is an opinion some are allowed to have. But others feel that the desire from some of the general public to have everything be autobiographical as opposed to inspirational (as already mentioned here) is absurd. I lean more to the former than the latter. What are the lyrics in Texas Hold 'Em that are so incongruous? The fact that she mentioned "Lexus"? That she said she's not in Texas? 16 Carriages is a song about the sacrifices made to reach your dreams, and outlines how she's left home. Texas Hold 'Em acknowledges that she's not in Texas anymore, but strives to still "boogie" and have a hoe down with her love interest, kind of implying the "You can take the girl out of Texas but not Texas out of the girl" thing. What's the issue exactly? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
