Beyonce Netflix NFL Half Time Performance Controversy

[Anonymous]

I thought it was funny she sang "Blackbird" at a Ravens game.

She lip synced the whole thing.

That’s pretty common. Most lip sync these things, such as Celine Dion at the Olympics.

Did you think it was going to be live singing? For starters, the whole thing started in a tunnel, which would have been echoey and not appropriate for singing live. This was not a secret.

+1. Shameless money grab by her and her creepy husband.

Netflix paid her for this, per her contractual obligation with them from 2019.

She looked stupid on the horse and her vocals were awful.

She looks stupid with or without the horse

I can't stand Jay Z (never liked him). I can respect Beyonce as a performer and as an artist. Not sure why you have to see one of the most successful artists on earth through her dh at all. They are separate people.

I think PP means she’s being trotted out because of the recent allegations, but presumably this was in the works prior to that

This is Beyonce. She doesn't need to be "trotted out". And of course it was in the works for a long time!

Technically speaking, she *was* trotted out lol

I feel like people complaining and nitpicking did not watch the performance.

I watched it and didn't like it at all. The songs and country album are terrible. It could be satire, honestly, but I don't think Bey is smart enough to pull it off. Sadly, she is serious with this country crap. The biggest insult to my ears was her rework of "Jolene."

Your ears are biased

DP. I thought her rendition of Jolene was pretty poor. She doesn’t have the vocal chops for that song.

Tell that to Dolly Parton. She loves Beyonce's version and wants to do it together at the Grammys.

I am in my mid 50s. I grew up listening to Dianna Ross. Beyonce played Diana Ross in "Dream Girls."

Without Jay Z, I think Beyonce would be another Dianna Ross, with appeal to people from all ages and people who loved all different kinds of music.

Beyonce is so gracious and elegant and I don't remember her ever doing or saying anything controversial. She has a right to sing country, opera, or whatever she wants.

I don't think she and other singers of her caliber need to dress and dance like they do, especially with her daughter on stage. The moves are so acceptable now, but for someone my age, Diana Ross never had to dance on stage like that.

Cher used to dress in provocative clothes. Madonna may have been one of the first to sing and dance provocatively. Lady Gaga doesn't really dance that way although she does where the costumes.

It's just normalized now that the singers dance like they're pole dancers.

Boy, I'll let you be my Levi's jeans
So you can hug that ass all day long
Come here, you sexy little thing

- from the Levii Jeans song

It was a cool song until I read the lyrics. Way too risque for a mother to be singing in a performance where her daughter is nearby.


I am a woman who grew up listening to Prince, and my clueless parents didn't know or have easy access to the lyrics of his music.

She might as well have performed Darling Nikki on Christmas Day in a show with her teen daughter at a football game.

NP. She’s not a great singer.

Another NP. Agreed. Beyonce is just another screamer who can dance. And not interested in seeing her kid up there. Nepo baby blech.

They will call us pearl-clutchers but I was remarking to my DH that female performers are all allergic to pants or skirts. They just wear spangly leotards. The chaps are too much.

It was great. Don’t have any clue why someone of her caliber would agree to do this on Christmas Day.

[Anonymous]

She can’t sing, she can’t write music, can’t play music, and she can’t even dance anymore. This is a 45 year old freak whose husband blows the label’s money keeping her famous. I truly think this woman is bonkers.

What is her caliber? She’s a middle aged washed up r and b singer. Her peak was like 15 years ago. Most of her washed up r n b peers are doing the cruise circuit or recording gospel albums that might sell 50k units.
