She says she is independent and demonstrates that literally and figuratively and you are still convinced she is lying?

She navigated a very complicated relationship with her father and is still told she’s nothing without him? Or wait maybe she’s nothing without her husband? I get confused.

It’s a fact that it’s been 25 years since a black female won AOTY. But her husband mentions that fact and it’s Beyoncé’s fault?

Her accent is often what is used to say she is country and unintelligent, but she’s still somehow not country enough?

Her mother literally named her to restore the family name that was stripped because of racism (this is NOT an Ellis Island equivalent), her father literally was attacked integrating schools, and those experiences had no impact on hee childhood?

Seriously, what do you all want from her? Is there anything she can do that would make her respect her mind, talent, and autonomy?

And if not, why continue to discuss her on this thread? So you can commiserate with others who find her worthless?

So odd.

She needs to morph into a white woman, or divorce Jay Z and marry a white man. Only then will white women come to respect Beyonce's mind, talent and autonmy.

It's possible they are nervous about the Diddy stuff going. I bet a lot of people are.
But I don't see how Bey is Laying low. She doesn't do a whole lot of promotion; barely any press. It's one of the things her fans actually complain about, she doesent talk to them enough. She's always been low-key. She has been posting on IG recently.

Jay is not laying low either. He was in London last weekend for a Real Madrid game and he was out in LA yesterday.

Her mother promotes for her. Beyonce hates public speaking.

She’s insecure about her country drawl and weak vocabulary . Every time she does speak, she gets mocked. The last full length interview she conducted was with Oprah and the full clips are barely on YouTube . They were really bad. She was stammering and looked terrified discussing basic things like giving birth and loving her husband . Oprah was even helping her find the words. She sounded like she was hiding something or not confident. It didn’t help quell the rumors she didn’t give birth at all

This is what is happening with Markle. No way an oversharer like her wouldn’t have gone on and on about being pregnant and the birth process. Yet, crickets.

I feel like they sat down and discussed where the cultural tension was greatest and therefore where attention would be highest and chose country. I feel somehow manipulated by it, which feels for music - kind of like a miss. I get it, same thing that artists have done for eons, like lil nas x. But he was subverting for different reasons and it was one song. It just all feels a bit contrived to me.

I asked something similar a few pages ago: does it feel authentic or a persona like Larry the Cable Guy.

To me it feels like a persona, definitely contrived for reasons other than artistic expression.

yes a persona but beyond that, it feels engineered entirely to a. stoke false outrage over race. I am all for conversations about race, but not engineered to specifically make someone richer and b. designed solely for the purpose of making a point.
I'm just missing the part where beyonce showed any interest in country music before this. and why should she? it sucks.

DP here:
Agreed. Feels like some sort of persona to "rub it" in the faces of country fans. In other words, next level trolling. Which I can appreciate, but 10 bucks says Beyoncé never tours this material. Because in the end, she doesn't really care about it.

Her and Jay Z wanted to make a statement. And if/when she doesn't win Album of the Year at the Grammies next year for Cowboy Carter, they will have another sh#t-fit.

But congrats on the successful engagement farming?

Wrong. She has announced the Cowboy Carter tour. https://www.tmz.com/2025/02/02/beyonce-announces-cowboy-carter-tour/

Oh whatever. She screams when she sings but acts like she's the best thing ever. It's her arrogance that drives me nuts and what a whiner she and her husband are if they don't get awards for every album. Get over yourselves.

And before the Bey-crazies start flinging that racism card, it's the same reason I've always disliked Madonna. The level of arrogance is a real turnoff and she can't sing either.

She deserved to win album of the year for one of her other albums in the past and did not. This one -- not so much.

She’s married her rapist as a child

Why are we giving her awards? she is not anyone to be respected ... Why is Beyonce (probably the female celebrity A from the lawsuits) not in jail?
