New Beyoncé and Miley Cyrus

[Anonymous]

Why does all of Beyonce's country music sound so kitschy and cartoonish? "I'll be your shotgun rider"? It's like if a European or someone who had no experience with country was making a caricature of what they think American country music is like. Sounds like a joke or parody song

It doesn't have to be good. She's reached a point where she can make something bad and people will convince themselves that it's really a form of genius.

Because it isn't supposed to be real country. It's campy country. It's a nod to country. It's a hybrid of country.

Beyoncés voice sounds terrible compared to Miley’s. The color/timbre of Beyonces voice isn’t unique as other singers. She’s gone back to her old Destiny’s Child habit of oversinging the other singers with better timbres

Genres are a funny little concept, aren't they? In theory, they have a simple little definition that's easy to understand. But in practice, well, some may feel confined.

“You don’t get it, it’s SUPPOSED to be terrible!”

Listened again. Beyoncé sounds terrible. They sound terrible together, song doesn’t suit Beyoncé’s voice.
I’m not a Miley fan but her voice sounds more appropriate for this song.
Sometimes B is off key with those high notes, sometimes they’re not starting the phrase together.
it’s like they did only a few takes and didn’t try to perfect it,

At times, this song is hard to listen to, it’s that bad, it makes me wince.

No one cares, can't compete with the Taylor Swift new album, that's all I hear anyone playing. Even bumped Beyonce and her cowboy thing to the back of the list. I'm not a Swift fan, but jeez she has the Midas touch.

Was this a mistake by their producers, by mistake I mean did they really intend on this version being released? Definitely a "studio" production, but it was like listening to two cats fighting in an alley. Painful.
