I argree a bit about the Jolene cover. Her vocal is incredible but the re-written lyrics are abysmal.

Yes it's a travesty. He is wrong about the rest of the album tho

[MattieB]

Imagine colonizing our genre and having the caucasity to say this

[Comedor]

Ok aaaaand whatdoyouwantmetodo about that?

[Fleahive]

How is the Jolene cover horrible? Tell me QUICK!? Are y'all fake mad about a woman dragging the woman instead of focusing on her man cheating even though that's what she spent half of Lemonade doing? Homewreckers deserve their lashings too. Quit being fake woke. Jolene is amazing.

If this part doesn't tell you about the music industry and how the media is manipulated to build hype, then I don't know what to tell you:

 

 

 

 "One of the guys I worked with, he wanted me to make some stupid ******* post about Beyoncé's country album, about how it was good, even though it was complete trash," he says in the video.

Um. He didn't say it was someone from Beyonce's team or even a media person, he said it was one of the people he worked with and I doubt they share collaborators. I know you are trying to find things to discredit the Greatest Artist of the Century but just because one of his collaborators liked the album enough to recommend it to him, it doesn't mean it was Beyonce's doing. Also, if there was a concerted effort from her to create hype from the country establishment, she didn't do a very good job at it, considering she specifically said she didn't feel welcomed by them and put in 0 effort to ingratiate herself to country radio and award shows, not to mention most country stars other than Dolly said they didn't want her there, much like this guy. I wonder why.

"It represents how degenerative our society has become that a song like a Beyoncé version of 'Jolene' can come out and anybody actually listen to it and think it's not just complete trash," he said, choosing to ignore the fact that Dolly Parton herself more than gave her blessing for COWBOY CARTER. 

The main issue here is that there's no specific or substantive criticism here. Without that, and with him saying "A Beyoncé version" rather than "THE Beyoncé version," it feels like his issue isn't one of the substance of the material at all, but rather an issue with Beyoncé the person making a version of Jolene. One really must wonder what that issue would be, given his other self-expressed stances, ideas, and political leanings, not to mention the content of the song that's his claim to fame.

But his vocabulary and the way he presents his thoughts not only take away from the credibility of his statement, but also make him seem.. not very bright. 

 

Bless his heart! 

This what people say about Bey. Shame on you.

@family.guy123 thinks otherwise 

[Brikenbur]

The issue here is that this has gotten traction from Billboard, Rolling Stone, NME and Stereogum.. now, the elite press ATRL has their hands on it! 
 

But seriously, a silly little viral artist who had one "hit(?)" says he hates Beyoncé's country album? It must be a slow news week. 

[ShouldersSideways]

It's telling to me that people on here will uplift and uphold MAGA coded artists like this man if it's in the interest of dragging someone they don't like.

 

I personally don't like the Jolene cover, and I'm a Beyonce fan.  However, there are worse Jolene covers out there; interesting, and unsurprising, that someone like him saves the vitriol for Beyonce.  So many country artists have nothing to say about other pop stars getting into the genre, but everything about Bey.  I wonder why? 

[Marla Singer]

The way people like him keep proving her point with this album.

They are not equivalent. Beyoncé has never used such derogatory language to refer to another artist or their work. Ever. 

[ICLDXU4HS]

She should have covered a male country classic instead of Jolene because a) those aren't as overdone and b) these men would have fumed even harder which is exactly the point.

Anyway, that man needs to worry about the small animals living off the food residue in that raggedy moustache.

A Trump supporter doesn't like Beyoncé's music??? *pretends to be shocked*

And we care about what this dude says because...

I didn't even pay attention to this part before, but if you can't read between the lines and see what he's saying here... 

 

He's tying this to the moral failing of 'society' and I can almost promise you his definition of the degeneration of society includes the majority of people who frequent this forum.  But, sure, OP, anything to get a Beyonce drag in.

Not this fad
