Country radio is a major gatekeeper for who can enter the market as per past major country music stars who are women. It isn't the best arbitrator for the best music. |
Lady Gaga was a poor choice for the California Dreamin cover.
It’s a sublime song but this cover made me want to see the original band perform |
Yep. I'm in your camp. But instead of figuring out how to adjust, no, it'd double down on what got us slaughtered. |
RIGGED and STOLLEN |
Like cake |
Who is the audience for Cowboy Carter? Seems like Beyoncé fans would be unlikely to be fans of country music and vice versa. |
Chappell Roan and Doechii had the most creative, artistic performances and brought something new and powerful. Benson Boone is really charismatic and was great as well. The second half of the awards was a snooze. |
That's a pretty broad brush you are using yo characterize country music fans, let alone Beyoncé fans. |
Ridiculous that Beyoncé won for best country album.
Candidly, I doubt she even wanted an award for best country album. I mean, she’s a country music singer…and probably isn’t a fan either. So weird. |
should have been shaboozy a tipsy |
^^^ Meant to type she is NOT a country singer |
Seems like CMA doesn't like Shaboozy, so who knows |
Absolutely. They were both amazing. And now I’m glad we missed the second half! |
Gotta keep country music white |
Beyoncé winning the country award is absolute nonsense. I’m a fan of hers, and a country music fan as well. |
