😩 Beyoncé is NOT a country singer!!!  

This video accomplished just what I intended for it to do, ruffling people’s feathers. I posted this out of boredom and I’m glad I did 😂😂 Some of y’all shouldn’t take other people’s opinions of a celebrity so seriously. Or music. This is all entertainment and you don’t have to agree. It’s ok if you don’t. My opinions won’t change lol. My opinion for this particular topic remains. Beyoncé is not a country singer. Texas Hold ‘Em is a nice song, but it ain’t country music. Y’all have a great day! 😁❤️

No, she is not a country music singer/star. But as an artist, she can try new sounds.

Miley Cyrus did hip hop and it was played on the “urban” stations, she did pop and country on other stations as well. Plenty artists have cross over music. I don’t see a problem.

I 100% agree. Everyone saying “Beyonce has a right to make country music” is completely missing the point. Of course she does. No one is saying she doesn’t. What she doesn’t have a right to is airtime on country stations. Country stations are catering to a country audience who expect to hear legitimate country artists who make country albums and play at country concerts. They aren’t down for the A-list pop stars that play on every other station to make 1 or 2 songs with an acoustic guitar to now invade their airwaves, and the DJs know this so they don’t play them. This isn’t anything personal or unique to beyonce it happens in every music scene, just like the jazz stations aren’t going to start playing Adele just because she comes out with one jazzy tune

No, she’s not a country singer but she MADE a country song therefore, country stations should play her country song. No one is asking for her to be inducted into the country hall of fame, they just want to hear the song on the radio. Music should be enjoyed without the need for “labels”. Art is ART at the end of the day.

She doesn't need those stations to be heard.

The queen of Country music, Dolly Parton, just released a Rock and Roll album and no one complained. So why can’t Beyoncé enter a new genre?

She may not be a country artist, but she made a country song. If people want to hear it then the station shouldn’t have a problem playing it.

Country started as black, she was just putting soul back into it

Country music singers have been crossing genres for decades, Taylor Swift was country, Jewel, Kerry Underwood, Faith Hill ect why can’t it go the other way, Lil’ Nas had a “country” song🤷‍♀️

This is gatekeeping energy. Art is supposed to be free. As an artist she’s very much allowed to cross. She’s done country before on her lemonade album. Shes from TEXAS & one of her first show was at a rodeo for gods sakes. People need to knock it off.

The lyrics, clothes, and messages are not typical of country music. She's crossing over to country. She dipped her toes in it. But its not mainstream country.

Lionel Richie not only had a country hit but, he also wrote the song "Lady" for Kenny Roger's a country music singer which became one of his biggest hits. Music is universal and we have always had crossover singers. Please stop trying to change the narrative. Music is Music and Beyonce is from Texas 😅❤

She’s from Texas, she can do country if she wants. And I’m Not a Beyoncé super fan but artist can do any kind of music they want.

It doesn't take rocket science to sing a country song. Black people started with country music.

It’s not about being a country music artist, it’s about making the music your creative spirit directs you to. You cannot tell a person that comes from a clan of sheep herders not to become a cattle rancher or car dealer for that matter. She has not told anyone she’s a country musician or that she’s becoming one. She has only done what most can’t, which is do what the hell what you want if it makes yourself and many millions genuinely happy!

Bey is an ARTIST who can sing in MANY genres! Gatekeeper gonna gate keep! #myhumbleopinion I’m here for Black people reclaiming EVERYTHING others stole and claim is theirs alone 🤦🏾‍♀️ #knowyourhistory!

Listen....the song is not for everyone. It's for those that like it. That's all that needs to be said.

She wasn't an actor either, but she did it. Artists can perform in any medium they choose. After all, "We's free now." If someone tells you to stay out of something that they don't own in the first place and you do it, you become their slave and they your master.

Nowadays you don’t her daughter won a Grammy for basically nothing. Nowadays you don’t have to do much to win an awards. Crazy.

People sing what ever they want. Elvis covered Country, R&B, Rock & Roll. MJ covered Rock, Pop, R&B. Queen Bee sang a wonderful country song ❤🎉 🙏 🌞

Country music comes from us. Learn the black American history.

It's up to the listeners to decide if she's a country singer or not...I listened to Texas Hold em and LOVED IT!

You are mistaken, everything in this country IS about race.

I respect you for saying "chill with the race thing". ' Not everything is about Race' !!. You are absolutely right. We all bleed the same. We are all human beings. This race thing needs to stop. We are not the past. We are the future, and it's time for everyone to unite as one. One love for the whole of humanity ❤️ 🌎💯

If you didn't know just about, if not everything, is about race. This is especially true in North America.

Yall put her in a genre. Beyonce can sing WTF she wants who are yall to put her in a box. People stay in your lane stop teying to label people

New fan here! Thank you for the content you put out. Your delivery is refreshing to come across!

Just like Garth Brooks was NOT a rock singer lol

She can try new sounds but those songs are not country and can be placed in pop😂😂 where they belong, but let's here the rest of her album, cause these two she released were à NO!!

Well, you was right about one thing in this video. Beyoncé is not a country music artist. She is an artist that has been using country, tween a yodeling and her music for years. She’s performed with a lot of country artist throughout the years and have always shown her undying love for country music which is also similar to blues and also gospel which is something that Beyoncé have also done in the past so I think she has I am the right and her 27 year career to do whatever the heck she wants to do!

She wants to end racism and have everyone unite. That’s why she is doing this in my opinion. I think it’s about opening up that genre and reaching those small conservative communities where blacks tell this day dear not go in the US and putting a woman of color there. The younger crowd will come along and blacks will intergretion into those country clubs. It will trend and bring cleaner music to the black community. I’m hoping we get a female president next. A black female president.

Country music was invented by Black Americans, and so Beyonce is allowed in her heritage. PERIOD.

Beyonce is not country. Her and her team submitted those songs to the pop genre. So it wasn't even on the country radar. Thats why the stations didn't play the music. She's intentionally creating controversy as a marketing ploy...and it's working.

This gives white superiority complex and fear. Country music is for whoever wants to dabble in it, it isn’t off limits.

Beyonce isn’t a country singer. Her songs aren’t country. That said, neither is 95% of what receives radio play on country stations in the US. The vast majority is overproduced, repetitive, algorithmic pop with a country-ish sound. The current state of country, Beyonce being no different, is exactly the reason many country fans stopped listening and supporting the genre. I personally only stick to Texas and folk country anymore.

NOT country. Thanks for telling it like it is, not like people want to hear it.

She literally speaks with a Texas accent. Why shouldn’t she sing country music?

Why not? She's from Texas, so that makes it country. Alot of artist cross differeny genre. She an artist. Girl please.

I don’t listen to Beyoncé so this is an unbiased opinion. Beyoncé is an artist and can sing whatever she wants, if she sings country that makes her a country artist. No one is limited to the genre they started out with. Just because her voice doesn’t have a thick southern drawl doesn’t negate her ability to sing country songs. Her interpretation of the music does not have to fit into a cookie cutter mold. She is a Texan and very well could have grown up singing country music all day as far as we know. The time we have on earth is too short to live within limits and boundaries you didn’t set. She can do a gospel album next year if she is moved to do so.

This is exactly what umar Johnson was talking about.

Beyoncé performed a song with the Dixie Chicks at the Country Music Awards. People had a hissy fit over that. Even the Dixie Chicks said that they were treated in a weird way backstage. Folks had a problem w/Beyonce.

You should not have tried that hair colour but you did.

Beyonce does what makes her happy. PERIOD

Thanks for speaking your opinion! Everyone isn’t a robot, who likes who they want us to like. Beyoncé’s music hasn’t been good to me, since her second album. People need to think for themselves, and not worship people! I agree with you. The song sounds like a nursery rhyme.😳

Lil nas x was allll over the country music stations.. darius rucker black guy was very popular on country stations qnd had many great country songs.. beyonce is pop r&b artist to the core.. she cant just get on a country station.. just like is taylor swift made a rao song.. they wouldn't blast her new rap song on rao stations.. because she dint fit period.. Eminem lived his lifestylw nd won battle rap olympics many times.. jack harlow is a pop artist who talks fast.. hes not rap.. and dont bwlong on rap stations.. even Eminem wouldnt be able to make a country song and actually get it played by country music stations.... Even black ppl say if u didnt live thw lifestyle than you shouldnt rap at all..same for country.. its not skin its life style

You don’t have to be a country artist to make country music. Ariana Grande made an r&b album, is she an r&b artist? No, she’s a pop artist.

Folks saying that Beyonce singing country is great and that she has a right to do so, are probably the same folks that said Darius Rucker singing country was garbage and that he should stick to pop. The issue is that if you say anything negative about Beyonce and her music, the Bee hive will swarm on you like there’s no tomorrow.

The thing is is that they're saying that they're going to blackball her but didn't the banjo 🪕 come from Africa? Our music has been stolen from ragtime to rock to blues, and they're trying to say that they are the guideline to what country music is supposed to be? Now The 👑🐝 is charting #1 on billboard, so what does that say? I think anyone can crossover because music is universal and why should we be held to constraints? Caucasian people make rap music so what's the problem? I think when people think inside a box, they're not able to broaden their horizons.

You are WRONG! 1. Country music came from Black music -- the Blues and Gospel, (how is it that you don't hear it when you listen to country music ; and 2. Just because she's singing country music doesn't mean now that will be all that she sings. Dang, do some research b4 hopping on yt. Ray Charles made country music, Lionel Richie and the Commodores, etc.. 3. I've listened the 2 songs she's released, and I'm willing to bet you, they will both be hits on the Country charts. 4. Who made you the arbiter of artists who can sing country music. 5. SHEESH!

Hm. This is funny because Jelly Roll had no trouble going from rap to country, but when a black woman does it’s a huge problem. 🤔

Hey, you got green hair!😂 Black people created American music. Know thy history ✊🏿

When the woman with the green hair is saying you need to chill about race that's how u know shit has gotten out of hand

I feel you about "Everything not being about race" but on a different topic, some people live in areas or are in different contexts where they experience a ton more racism than others. Just be mindful when you say that and roll your eyes... you may never experience racism, I don't know your life, but for some of us out here, it's like everyday.

but at the end of the day she is a country girl… she has every right to make this genre of music when thats how she grew up!

I just found you off this short and will most definitely be subscribing! ☺️

My only argument is tswift mostly makes pop and this shit is traditional singing over country instrumentals

You are wrong!! Its all about race. You live in the USA know your history.

Also shoutout to all the people that respectfully left their disagreements without getting into their feelings. These are the ONLY people I will waste time even listening to! 🫶🏽🫶🏽

Also, her video is not that of a country background video depicting, the typical country, songs and videos she release country song, great, but she’s not a country song, artist and the song should not have debuted at number one

It has nothing to do with race I'm sure...the Oklahoma station probably won't play the song because it sucks so much

Just because someone CAN crossover doesnt mean they should. These songs arent country --

If people like the song and its a good country song, it should be played. Although she isn't country, she is a musician that has a name from being good. I am also not a music picky person in general though so ...take my opinion with a grain of salt! 😂

She relased the songs on Superbowl..then a week later she top 100 hot country nahhhh that was definitely paid for billboards 😂😂

The country music station explained they were asked to play "Beyonce" and they replied "We don't play Beyonce, we are a country music station" The station thought it was a request to play a different genre.

And you saying people are the ones that say everything is not about race and I’m not saying it is. But in this case it is and the fact that you refuse to see it speaks volume. they treated Beyoncé the same way when she came to the country music awards and she wasn’t even doing country then she just came to perform and they were racist to her then. And once people found out that she was coming to the country awards and was bashing her and being racist, they stripped her from all of their advertisements. So this is not the first time they’ve treated Beyoncé like this..

I take advice from a girl who uploaded a video in the Bathroom...

I agree with you, but you do know people gonna buy her album because it’s Beyoncé. I’m not buying it.😂

It was one station lol. Someone called and requested Beyonce. The station didn't know she had a " country" song and secondly, they couldn't play it if they wanted to bc beyonce's team didn't provide the stations with her music.

All country music singers have to start ... No one starts off a star.. she can try

Someone tell her we are free to try new things.... She tried that color in her hair and that was a bad idea... Let Beyonce try something that she like too 😂

I read the country station was just confused at first when people started requesting Beyoncé but then started playing her country songs when they learned it was a real thing.

It's about freedom, creativity, art and the right to express yourself in any genre you choose. It's not about race, but race is a factor because if not you wouldn't have to say it.. there is always bias even if not intentional. I also don't think she should be labeled a country music artist... the labeling is also part of the bias and putting people in a box.. she is an artist that has some country music songs..

Imma need for you to not have crumbs on your lips while talking that ish, lol. I found myself trying to wipe it off 😂

We started the genre! Black folk have always been country. We are born and raised in the same areas as them with some of the same backgrounds aside from slavery which brought country to them! Country is a lifestyle as well as a sound. We have always had our own style, own brand of country! And we’ve never stopped living country. They may as well get over themselves! #cingjerome

I actually completely agreed with everything that was said. I like the songs, but neither sound authentically country.🤷🏽‍♀️

Thank you much darling I truly appreciate you standing up for the country music area I know Beyonce is from my native state of Texas but the same time she left that lifestyle behind had plenty of chances to her entire career to make a country music album and and now she thinks she can just break into the industry of country music. I ain't racist in any way or not I have a girlfriend that is black and I love her with all my heart and she even says Beyonce does not need to be in country music

She can do country, but just repeating lines doesn't make it good.

You are what you can do successfully.

She’s from Texas she’s country but I get what you’re saying she’s more R&B

I disagree with your conclusions of Beyonce. You're using that crab-life mentality against your own people and a sister. You don't see other races belittling their own, rather, they support them in all....their choices, gifts and talents. You're using Beyoncé's name to get likes. Get rid of that dark heart my sister. Blessings for Beyonce and I pray for you.

Idk I think imma side wit u on this one…I love Beyonce n her new songs but I think she should try to stay in the lane she was already in

If Beyoncé made a death metal album with a kazoo piano and a harpsichord her fans would say how wonderful it is. She’s throwing something at the wall and seeing if it sticks. I guess she needs another gimmick.

Oh stop it. First of all, wipe your mouth. You got food on it. Second, music genres mix all the time. Beyonce did a great job.

girl go educate yourself country music was actually created by black people...tailor was country she moves to pop ..singers shouldn't be restricted the music doesn't belong to a genre its art ....you american you don't even know your history ..you probably think south africa is a continent

I just feel like she needs to go sit down and quit trying to be in our faces 24/7. I like her music but Im tired of her. And I also listened to one of those new country songs. It sucked. Everyone has their own opinion & people need to not get upset if someone says smthn negative about their Queen Beyonce.

No she's not a country singer.

🎶🎶Cha, cha, cha, Chia!!! 🎶🎶 And, she may not be country, according to your perception...yet, she's #1 on the Billboard!

JayZ has no power over there. I like the 16 carriages song. The fact that she DOES NOT INTERACT with her fanbase before she does stuff like this is biting her in the a$$. She needs to come down off her “throne” and check the temperature. Bottom line.

Beyonce just wants to cash in… she saw how much country singers are making. Always at the top of the charts.

Eminem can rap Beyonce can do country I don't care as long as the music is good

It’s 2024, who still listens to the radio lol

Girl stop 🛑. Artidts have been crossing over forever. Use your phone and DO YOUR RESEARCH.

Black people started country. Learn your history sis. ITS ALWAYS about race

Beyoncé making country songs is like Taco Bell making “Mexican food”

Thank you for this👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I’m a black, country music fan, born and bred and Texas; that doesn’t automatically make me country cause everyone that I know listen to R&B or Rap. Beyoncé’s country amounts to “All hat and no cattle”. I liked her song “ Daddy Lessons” and I stopped listening to country radio or watching country awards several years ago when I saw that some of my fave country music artists took issue with Beyoncé performing there. Dixie Chicks, I kind of understood because they’ve been blackballed for nearly 20 years ( even though they are still loved and missed in the country scene). Rhianna, Taylor Swift and SZA are out doing (in number’s) so bad that they’re trying to compare her to Nicki Minaj (who is also doing better) to save face. Last month, everybody was saying Beyoncé is the Queen of Rap, and as they are doing now, they started showing past pics and video of Beyoncé rapping. Well, everybody knows Nicki Minaj holds that title and fans and non- fans even had to bring them back from that delusion. Since that didn’t work, this month is she is country and now they show pics and video of that. Since Bey was a young girl, she has repped Texas and rap culture. Yes, she said they couldn’t take the country out her, we’re from Texas, we country. However, “country” and “country music” are two different life styles. Now, they’re trying to make it seems she’s doing this to reclaim the music that was taken from us. Y’all can be sheep but Jay and Bey are about opportunity and money.

Your video is *PERFECT* I like Beyonce but these new songs are terrible. It's just pop music while wearing a cowboy hat and beats I really dont like Little Nas X but atleast Old Town Road tried something different and is catchy. Its not country but its good

Girl Don't Mess with Texas😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

Thank you ma'am 👏🏽

Sweetie clearly u don't know what an artist is .... That's like saying an artist that paints can't make illustration. Singing is using ur voice in beautiful ways what u sing doesn't determine what u should stick to u are blocking ur creativity musically .that's like going to college learning and getting a degree in food and then doing a whole 180 and doing hair successfully so becuz u studied food u should be a chef .
