Lily Allen says Beyoncé's version of Jolene is "very weird"


Recommended Posts

Posted

She is right, the Beyhive said the same thing on this very forum. So all these who is she? Girl go and seethe somewhere else. Just because Mrs. Allen had something to say about Jolene (Cover By Beyounce).

 

Like all of our faves don't get criticize everyday online especially on ATRL.

These comments are eh..

 

But do not disrespect Lily Allen! It's Not Me It's You is one of the best albums of the 00s

i really like the album, but i agree. a jolene cover felt a little on the nose and the lyric changes didn't feel additive. i understand the statement of beyonce taking on a vanguard country standard, but her chopped and screwed interpolations like on ya ya are much more effective for me.

This woman cheated on her partner. Of course, she found it "weird". Her puss was getting heated once she heard Bey's warnings. 

Nnn and she was PROUD of it too :rip:

 

The streets (Reddit) say she's releasing a country album herself. Now we really know what it's about…:dies:

a better songwriter than beyonce

A far worse performer and vocalist than Beyonce who will never come close to her success and acclaim even in her home country.

:toofunny3: Well look at that … a bird singing her tune. The lack of self-awareness for her to even use that adjective given her checkered history, yikes.

Dolly has been asking Bey to cover Jolene for years. Every time an interviewer asked who Dolly would like to cover her next she said she wants Bey to do Jolene. Bey did it out of respect for Dolly and I really don't think she'd have done it otherwise.

 

Not that deep, not that weird.

Stream Not Fair the superior country song and heir to Jolene

This is so true

in fact, Not Fair is better than her discography!

 

and Not Fair isn't even Lily's best song :jonnycat:

Baby don't be mad because Bey having children didn't "ruin her career".

This woman is a Beyonce hater, she's said other unpleasant things about Bey in the past… losers like that, best to ignore.

She said Bey is a Queen in Sheezus tho.

Some of you cannot take other opinions it seems. Nothing she said warrants her to be called a hasbeen, a flop and **** but I shouldn't be surprised at this point.

Is she a better vocalist though? Is she prettier? Can she dance? The answer is no. Y'all stay using the songwriting thing for itches who aren't Great Vocalist. Don't quote me. I said What I said.

lol chile, they love clinging onto "bu-bu-but songwriter!" for dear life like it's the only musical talent there is and they always have such a narrow, myopic view of it too. Lily wrote every single song she sang and much of the world does not care or no longer cares in the year of our lord 2024. The last time she was a sliver of musically relevant was a decade ago. I mean, what have done for me lately?

That part lol. Beyoncé was here before Lily Allen and will be here long after people forget her name, most have already lol Beyoncé has literally seen several time periods of popular artists come and watched them go since she was a teenager.

it's not that she said she doesn't like her version of Jolene. It's all the other absolute bullshit that she is attaching to it, calling it a "calculated move" when Dolly asked her to do it. I've never so many people, some of them not even Country fans, attempt to gate-keep a classic song so much. It's ridiculous, especially since Dolly is still making all the money from Beyoncé's version even though there are a lot of lyric changes. You'd think Jolene had never been covered all kinds of ways, musically and lyrically, before now. There were even several answer songs to it before Beyoncé's take.

Lily's face looks weird. There. I said it.
