So... that Beyonce country album & singles, came & went huh?

[PatCake]

I think it’s overly long, kinda messy, and has quite a few duds.

Also the whole point of the song “Jolene” is Dolly’s vulnerability and self-doubt and fear. It's an honest song that few would write about. She tried to make it a feminism anthem. Why not just write one yourself? To change “begging you” to “warning you” ruins the spirit.

She ain't winning that Grammy that's for certain

 

[315]

I mean the album is #30
That's terrible?

Country music fans are listening to Blues and Pop music disguised as Country music. So they are not exactly the most musically sophisticated discerning fan base out there.

A lot of the older country music does have blues elements to it. You do know that right?

Ironically I just heard Texas Hold 'Em in Target earlier today lol

 

[Tribal Outkast]

it’s different these days. I got co workers who played the whole ALBUM for days upon days! Noe one of them that I work with will play songs here she there. I don’t think “singles” matter anymore.. she’s sitting on a song that would’ve been a massive hit by itself imo.

She got a couple on there imo. I liked that album waaaaaay more than the last one. I was surprised lol. Beyonce will be ok at the end of the day

That song with her and Miley Cyrus never thought I’d say that lol

I know more than that. Like I know the Banjo is from Africa. I know about Blues man Leslie Riddle catching Blues songs for AP Carter which were remade into "Country" songs. I know about Riddle also teaching Maybelle Carter the slide guitar. I know about Rufus "Tee Tot" Payne teaching Hank Williams the Blues. I know about a former slave named Arnold Schultz teaching Bluegrass music to Bill Monroe. I know that the Grand ole Opry earliest star was a Blues man named DeFord Bailey. Finally I know that Ray Charles had one of the highest selling Country albums of all time.

I would throw in hip-hop/rap and modern R&B elements as well have been in a lot the country music that get play on the radio as well

 

[voltronblack]

shyt was talked about heavy for over a month. That's not the definition of came and went to me lol. Now if it lasted a week or a few days I would agree.

Right and that Drake and Kdot beef got all people time and energy

 

[LadyJ2]

Haters. It was a solid album and Texas Hold ‘Em gets the barbecue, skating rink, wedding, etc LIVE.

Long live Bey.

Exactly. Beyonce is the Jolene that Dolly Parton was afraid of. Total miss
