Beyoncé is pretty in locked step with Taylor and Ariana. For once in a lifetime it’s not us versus them. They all are together in this pursuit. They aren’t demonizing each other or competing with each other. They’re holding each other up. |
I'm so annoyed by "this ain't Texas, ain't no hold em" because that just that much of the song is played on the morning shows, etc. and even though I've never heard the whole song, that line gets stuck in my head. |
We aren’t a divided society because of Beyoncé. Slavery based upon race did really happen in the USA long before Beyoncé. Things occurred before the internet. |
yeah it's bad to say but she strikes me as someone with limited opinions on issues because she's ignorant and doesn't care enough to learn |
You’re very magnanimous. She strikes me as simply unintelligent. And that’s okay! Just as I don’t understand why we have to pretend every celebrity is beautiful, I don’t understand why we have to pretend every celebrity is smart. |
When Obama got elected; she said racism is erased and she doesn’t think it exists anymore because she is successful in Europe. Her team scrubbed that so fast. She’s an idiot |
I just wish she pronounced the you’s as you - she say chou (chew) and it throws me out of the song. |
The funniest part of this conversation is thinking Jay-Z is the driver of the relationship and Beyonce's artistic/social/political stances and not the other way around.
Beyonce has had a much larger effect on Jay-Z than he has on her |
You really think Beyonce has power over Jay-Z? Have you seen the two of them at events or games? She sits there with a wispy smile like a cloud of smoke hanging around his head. |
He’s 20 years older than her , lived his teens away from home and on the street, sold drugs for a decade and never got caught or killed , can rhyme off the top of his head making analogies to everything from jazz, politics, books and medieval history which means he is seemingly well read and or at least has intellectual curiosity and multitudes to him . Beyoncé is the total opposite of him . She was a sheltered stage pony for mommy and daddy . There’s a very telling clip of Jay Z before dating Beyonce where he is asked what he likes in a woman and he said someone sharp with a quick wit is essential because he hates conversation with goofy /ditzy girls. |
What? No. He's 12 years older than her. ![]() |
Her album is okay and meant to appeal to audiences that haven't previously listened to country. It's fine. Once people get familiar with country vibes they will probably enjoy more of it. |
It's all for $$$ and nothing else. |
Yeah I see a lot of people on twitter asking for more suggestions now. I think she succeeded with that goal |
He was also apolitical, uncharitable, misogynistic, and still clinging to vestiges of street life. I say this as a huge Jay Z fan, but Beyonce had a big impact on his maturation and worldview. It's very dismissive to think Beyonce is a vapid simpleton because she doesn't share or emote much publicly. |
