Dolly Parton Defends CMAs After Beyoncé Snub | E! News 

So, why was Post Malone nominated?

Why is jelly roll, post Malone, and others nominated they're rappers. Also, mgk is doing country as well. You all constantly move the goal post .

THANK YOU!!! That’s what I’ve been saying! I like Beyonce and the album is…. Pretty good, I like it! But Beyonce is a pop artist who made ONE country album

Why is post Malone and jelly roll nominated😂😂😂. They're rappers

👏👏👏

Good point and well put. I think Dolly said basically the same thing, with her usual grace. Imo, it should never be about the awards. That’s definitely not what country music is about. Not at all.

Taylors debut album was definitely country. Every “country” album after that is for sure questionable. But her debut album with songs like “Tim McGraw,” “teardrops on my guitar,” and “Our Song” were def country. But yeah Beys “country” album was not country and most people I know who are die-hard country music fans, did not consider it country

inwould not say pop but it was a mixture of soft rock,blues, and soul

And I doubt she made it thinking she was going to win a cma 🤷🏾‍♀️. Maybe she’ll get a Grammy aob?

So what🙄 she's an artist and can do whatever genre she wants

Um, Bey hasn't commented on the CMAs. The chatter is from the gadflies, hangers-on, wannabees and "influencers". Interesting that no one is commenting on Post Malone's noms...

Very valid point

You would be wrong. Tracy Chapman won song of the year in 2023 for fast car

We have to put a reality check on this comment. Your personal opinion does not count what matters are sale numbers and what her customers think. So far your comment does not meet reality. Texas Hold ‘Em” shuffles to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, a week after it debuted at No. 2. The superstar earns her ninth leader on the list, and her first since “Break My Soul” in 2022.

@@My2CentsYall i love beyonce and would die for her but the album was not true country..end of story no debate or discusiions

@@nastycherry123 Its subjective just because her voice does not twang does not mean its not country music.

@@My2CentsYall no but the fact that she’s never done country ever in her life she’s not a country artist that’s why it’s not country

She’s from Texas, with roots also in the Deep South. Y’all are nobody to be telling someone who and what they aren’t, when they carry that very thing in their blood. Y’all are used to pale people yodeling,

Why? There are tons of other country artists who is better than she is. Just because she appeals to the masses, that doesn't make her the "best"

@@Uilani-g4m then fine i dont like her, the only country artists i listen to is luke combs, toby keith, kane brown, and jelly roll thats all. what is yours?

She’s got plenty of her words she doesn’t need anymore, nor does she need any more money and it’s not her genre so give somebody that’s doing true country music a chance

@@Lissa102 ik she has alot of words sorry if i said the wrong thing to you but the only country artists i listen to is the ones i told you

You sound Black. Lol

Not entirely true. It also has its roots in early Celtic and European influences. Instruments such as the banjo, fiddle, madolin originated from various countries and was made popular in the US when European migrated over. The mergence of African and early European created the sound of country music. So it isn't soley "black" as you put it. But you like to play victim to something that isn't there. Dolly Parton's ancestors were contributors to the the country sound, as much as Africans. Country has roots in Appalachia, R&B, jazz, early Celtic folk, blues

@@Uilani-g4m mostly everything that the Europeans have even their gunpowder used to rob and kill people of their culture was stolen from china. I’m not playing victim I’m just telling the truth. I have nothing against yt people but probably most of their musical instruments are just copied from somewhere in the world. Yes the truth hurts but you can’t be passive aggressive and say I’m playing victim just for stating facts of what was done to us and how we were and are being excluded from what we created. but there is a reason for yt people and the universe created them for whatever reason but perhaps the same way we as blacks had to learn during our trials maybe the time is coming and has came for you guys to learn from your trials. And find you guys true roots and identity instead of killing stealing and wearing the skins of other cultures and excluding them to make them your own. I really wish us all the best. I think you guys are excellent with technology and creating apps and ai and satellites matrixes I mean it’s a gift but I hope it is used for good and for truth or else those matrixes will crumble. Only true matrixes can last.

She doesn't need it yet she's crying about it? Chill, that album was nothing country.

You’re part of the problem you just called her queen bee she’s not a queen never has been. She’s no different than anybody else. Stop feeding her friggin ego. It’s big enough.

She's not a queen. She's a pathetic loser to say the least. Beyonce's country album was horrible. Smh

@@Choca3786 Agreed! Not only that but Beyonce's country album was horrible. Smh

@@rhondae8222 like has she ever had a good album?

Dolly is a sweetheart.

Race bait
