I feel like lemonade was a real turning point for Beyonce. It's the album I think she really took artistry to another level. Anything after this she just leveled up each time.
Lemonade makes me cry every time. As a woman, she said every word that lives in my soul, it almost hits too hard. And yet, she expressed herself so beautifully and honestly. I became obsessed with B from this moment on.
Those of us who watched this live had no idea what was coming. We just had a date and time to turn to HBO. We had to take in the music and visuals all at once and it was a journey lmao.
I remember watching it at some live stream and my jaw was on the floor. I think it was the first time watching something and I just feel that everything had another meaning it was 2 storylines into one, accompanied by great music/poetry and visuals. Truly a piece of art 🥹
Heartbroken at the realisation you watched the censored version 💔 ahh well. The films still gorgeous, finally glad you got around to it and even more glad you were tripping balls😭
Love how she so creatively chronicled her emotional and spiritual journey of healing from infidelity and betrayal. Beautifully done! And you’re completely right. Everyone can enjoy the album but for black women specifically, this album hits on a whole other level. ❤
Until I see Renaissance: A Film, Lemonade is my favourite visual album. Glad you remain safe when partaking in your “extracurricular activities” 😂 you are a TRIP! 👌🏾🤍
Not lemonade making me cry this morning 🤧 Sandcastles gets me every time lol Beyoncé’s visuals are like no other. She’s in a lane of her own in every aspect of music. This was such a beautiful story of betrayal and redemption that so many can relate to. Your reactions literally make my day so thank you for setting the time aside to do this 🙌🏽🫶🏽 Self titled visual album up next!
Now that I’ve finished this video…. I’m mad all over again that she lost album of the year at the Grammys to Adele. Even Adele said Beyoncé should have won! And I love Adele’s 25 but even she knew. This album is just something else.
Ok now I want the reaction to these visuals with you sober and the Explicit version lol I loved how intense it was for him the shrooms took him to a whole different world
I wish i could forget it just to experience watching this for the first time again. I was crying, i was happy, i was sad beyond belief, there were moments where i felt like i could do anything(freedom). Only Beyoncé does this to you. This is the film that i hold dear to my heart, this film is quite literally LIFE. And i say this as a person who has watched a lot of films but nothing ever compares to LEMONADE. I get emotional as i write my admiration here. Just perfection.
Omg yes yes yes , and before I go to work💖💖💖. Ps, we feel the natural vibe you throwing out - and that why the beyhive loves you ( you love music so you can see her talent )
This was refreshing! Haven’t seen it since it dropped! & yes we love your reactions especially bc you’re an actual musician with a wide range of music taste. 🔥🔥🔥
Just wait until you start getting into the live performances properly. You're going to wonder how its even possible to love and respect her even more. Welcome to the Hive 🐝 Oh and don't do homecoming until you listen to all her albums! And watched some of her live performances!
Watching Lemonade for the first time, including hearing the music for the first time, having no idea of what she had been through all these years... it was heartbreaking and magical. All of us watching and feeling this journey at the same time. She is a genius.
I also love Jazz and Blues and some Bluegrass, therefore I get the connection you made to "Daddy Lessons." An ode to her Texas and Louisiana roots. ;) 😎
Every video I watch makes me wish I could be part of your in studio audience behind the camera!!! 😂 You're hilarious, man! Love your work and raw, honest reviews! My kinda vibes! Glad I subscribed!
You’re such a legend!!! 🩷 Thank you for these reactions! They give me so much life after a long day! I seen her live Sunday I’m even more in love with her talent!!
Hey don’t worry about the lights. Definitely turn them off because then we can see what you’re watching better. The light from the video plus your computer gives us enough light to see you ❤
I love the part at the end where u said u wish you were a scorned black woman 😭😭 just beautiful lol jk... imagine how many shrooms had to die to help you experience this on such a high level! Lol
I would also check out her girl group Destiny’s Child!! They’ve had MULTIPLE #1s!!! Won multiple Grammys, Billboard Awards shoot they won the World Music Award for Best Selling R&B Group!! If you haven’t heard them…you’d LOVE them!! Even their Christmas album!!!
if you want to nerd out super hard, the dissect podcast has a series on lemonade breaking down all of the symbolism of her choices, the lyrics and production. thorough asf. they do black is king too. 💛🐝✨
I can NOT tell you how much I loved you putting yourself in a Black Woman's shoes, as it relates to this body of work, because it does hit different when you can personally relate. This album is so powerful to any and all that experience it, but especially to us, because we feel seen and heard, when so often we are not. Thank you for taking the time to see all of us in your beautiful reaction. You have been a salve for my soul on today and so many other days. Thank you for what you do Brother.
I feel like the Hive has adopted you at this point. I love your spirit and freedom with music. I cant wait for more of your Paramore reactions tho.. 💛💛💛💛💛❤️
Love this!!! Your channel is so refreshing. Thanks for sharing with us. Please check out Beyoncé’s artists Chloe and Halle. Their Tiny Desk performance might be a good intro ❤
Your reaction was simply amazing 🥲 I’ve never done mushrooms before 😂🤣maybe I will give it try. I love this woman so much, she has been through some dark days with me she helps me find the light sometimes.
To the point you were attempting to make about Black women who were cheated on and it not "hitting" for ppl beyond them/US - I get where you were going however it was actually praised, talked about & related to for years by white women, Asians and many non-Black women who, beyond feeling betrayed by a man, just felt empowered by this musical film.
