It baffles me that people feel they can tell other people what genre they should or shouldn't be doing or who can represent a specific genre.
@Strawberry Cream ummmm BLACK PEOPLE CREATED ALL GENRES OF MUSIC WTF. READ MORE 🤦🏾♂️
@Strawberry Cream ever heard his version of sittin on the dock of the bay?
@@DonCaban252 Hahahahaha.... Tooooo funny !!
@Caroline Hudson Uh, yes! We did! We made music before America was a country.
@@ajacksona12 Hank Williams was the king of country because he invented the sound of country
LOL He’s acting like she got up there and performed “Bootylicious” 😂😂😂😂😂
LMFAOO
It was a bit cocaine for church
Exactly
Exactly… she gave yall country music! Whats the problem? I could understand his point if she sang a pop song but she legit showed up with an original country song and it was fantastic 🥰
I bet none of y’all know who was the first Black Country Singer. Mr. Charlie Pride and he is amazing he still is alive at 84
Hes the only black country singer.. period
@Ethan Weeter she wiped the floor with daddy lessons what makes you think she can’t do country???
RIP Mr. Charlie Pride
I bet you didn’t know that Country music comes from Black music since we telling facts.
@@ZzzZzz-fg9hx wrong
I bet he doesn't say anything about how Taylor swift bounces back and forth between country and pop music, using both genres and fan bases to host her overall celebrity.
Oh yes he does, he's been calling out pop country going back to the billy Ray Cyrus "achy breaky heart" days. He's a traditional country artists
but she wasn't there on the day to celebrate 50 years of country music, it should have been about the history, not the future.
I bet he does. Many actual country musicians would not call Taylor Swift's music "country". Not saying she's not talented, but Taylor Swifts music is no more country than Katy Perry.
Taylor Swift is a satanic witch!
“I don’t feel we need outside genre artist because I wanna gate keep country music” this is the sum of what he’s saying
The celebration was about the history of country music, they shouldn’t have brought in another singer.
@@gabepearson6104 that artist that they brought sang a country song tho
@@rukia6021 I’m aware, but what has she done in history for country music before that moment? Nothing. If the show weren’t about history, then I’d be fine.
@@gabepearson6104 its the cma and she sang a country song like I don’t really see a problem her it not like she went and performed freakum dress or something
@@rukia6021 I get that and respect your opinion. But I disagree. Agree to disagree.
Even Alabama performed with Lionel Richie "Deep River Woman"!
A country song that sounded country though. Lionel Ritchie sounded country in that song. Beyonce was not like Taylor Swift. Beyonce did not sound country like Taylor does a lot. Beyonce is anything but country.
@@omgDavidGlasper yes she did sound country. Y'all just mad a black woman sang on a country show
Everything thing about the performance was country
no it wasn't,that shit sounded like some kinda of broadway show pop/hip hop shit
@@xxbiggavoxx5871 no it wasn't. Hip-hop? You just made she is black. Also you should know black ppl created country music tf
@@xxbiggavoxx5871 hip hop boy shut up
@@Malik_7002Oh, look another moron who thinks any criticism of a black person for any reason whatsoever is racist. And no country music was not invented by black people, get your head out of your ass
Dear Travis, that was a nice way to say if you don’t look like us and you’re not a part of our group you can’t come to the party. Country music is not a cult. It is not a treasure group that no one else can be a part of. Music is music, Black people have helped create country music along with many other types of music, the blues, rock ‘n’ roll, hip-hop and most importantly country. We are Americans we all love music and we should all share in the joy that is music. Can I get an amen!
This is that “go back to your country” mentality. Music is universal and country music started with blues and soul created by..... blllllack people. Country music isn’t confound to a set amount of particular people. He’s salty because he didn’t get asked to perform.
Ashley you miss what he was saying it was a ratings ploy not because they respected Beyonce
Country music started with gospel and bluegrass.
@@JonMarc22 ur point?
You're trying to make something "racist" when it has nothing to do with race. It has to do with the music industry trying to popify traditional country, and killing the genre and disenfranchising actual country music fans in the process. I love Charlie Prides music, and I can't stand Luke Bryant. It has nothing to do with race.
@@kevind1650 Beyonce was literally called racist names so miss me with that
Who made country music again🤔 yeah okay keep it cute sis!
Exactly. This boy must SHUT UP!
Lmfaooo let em knoooow
I’m glad they didn’t have this attitude when Ray Charles was making an R&B album one year in a country album the next year! And all the racist comments that came after the Dixie Chicks and Beyoncé performed just goes to show you that it’s just a bunch of racism. Seems like country music has forgotten that they have African-American fans. If they weren’t so busy gatekeeping, they could probably have a whole lot more. But I guess that’s not what they want. I guess the priority is to keep country music white. If it weren’t, then there wouldn’t have been a bunch of racist backlash from that performance! Personally I thought Beyoncé did a fine job with that song and that all of their voices blended very nicely together.
As a person whose favorite music is traditional country, country music is by far at its best when it’s not confined to something extremely narrow. There is honky tonk, bluegrass, western, bluesy country, rock 70s country, pop country and others, and they’re all country. Country music is a broad genre. And just to remind everyone, country came DIRECTLY from blues and jazz along the Mississippi (which was black people) and not much is said about that in the history books. The entire point of music is that it is art and not to be confined to something that’s already been thought of before.
U make this about Race. Good grief. Another Woke.
Your statement is not quite accurate. Clearly country music over the years has been influenced by blues, just like blues music was influenced by several other cultural music before it was called "blues." But it in no way "comes DIRECTLY from blues and jazz." The actual term "country" and "western" music first started being used in the 1930's and 40's, and most of it came directly from bluegrass music, which came directly from the Appalachian mountain music, which came directly from Scottish and Irish traditional music from Europe (yes the evil white man made music too, and long,long,long before blues and jazz hit the scene). One of the reasons the radio stations used to label rural styles of music in the 30's and 40's as "country" was to distinguish it from more popular urban styles of the day like jazz. Of course, country in the 1940s is far different than what is called country today. Today's country is more akin to 80's pop and southern rock than it is to traditional country, which just proves how pointless it is to argue who invented such and such kind of music. No music or any other art form exists in a vaccuum. Contemporaries influence each other.

And for those who may not remember Beyonce is from TEXAS.....HELLLO TEXAS THE PLACE WHERE THEH HAVE A TEAM CALLED THE COWBOYS....(B IS FROM HTOWN)
@Ethan Weeter I'm from west Texas and Houston aint glitz and glam, far from it honestly
@Ethan Weeter *HOUSTON TEXAS* is the name, so yes Houston is TRUE TEXAS... You fucking moron!!! Is Los Angeles not California? 🙄
He probably wasn’t a fan of the Johnny Cash show. Big time crossovers on that show.
I don’t think that is the point of what he was trying to make. I think it was more along the lines of it WAS the CMA’s.... the country music awards show! And they had a pop/hip hop artist perform. I mean that is like having josh turner perform at the equivalent Rap/Hip hop award show singing bluegrass.
Where as Johnny Cash had a variety show that was his platform to express new artists and his friends to a wider audience. Just saying.
@@buzzranger7694 but Beyonce performed a country song at a country awards show... plus she’s literally from Texas lol
@@Jess-yp9fo She is hip hop, I don't see Hank JR singing with Drake?
@@reagan513 Beyonce has performed multiple genres. Just admit it y'all think black pple can only be in one genre
@@devanshepard9118Im sorry but, do you not know how many black folks enjoy and sing country? Youve gotta be living in a delusion.
Okay I'm going to just leave this . Beyonce did do these songs more country than country songs today and she has a great voice. I actually hope she puts out some good stuff . But she definitely isn't hurting country at all . Look at it today. Hers sounds better than some .
Well the executives of the CMA's felt that they wanted her there to boost the ratings, so talk to them about your issues with this not criticize her for being there.
I say we do him a solid and don't watch CMAs. Like he said, they can stand on their own. I'm certainly not going where I'm not welcomed. Those of us who see music as a unifying force can just celebrate music diversity together, and screw all the hateful people who try to hide their racism behind a particular music genre that they didn't even create.
Anymore was an epic classic. I rarely hear it anymore. Thanks TT for that song.
What's "our music"?
Tell'em Travis we just want country music performers end of story
Well said Natalie Tobar!!
I don't ever remember Elton John being on the CMA's. What year was that?
Dolly Parton and him jammed together. Sting duet with Toby Keith.
@@act4666 The former was in 2005, and the latter in 1997, when Toby had a hit duet with Sting with a cover of "I'm So Happy I Can't Stop Crying".
@@kyliepollert8341 great song by Sting!!!
@@kyliepollert8341 And Dolly & Elton did Imagine
Let's be real, the reason country music has grown not because its remained traditional, but because it has continually taken from other genres of music to appeal to a wider fan base. If you want to talk traditional country music, then you'd be strictly bluegrass just banjos and blow jars poppin' and you wouldn't have Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, Blake, etc...he'll you wouldn't have any of the artists that are actually selling out stadiums because they are not traditional...and you were strictly racially motivated by your remarks about beyonce's involvement because if not you wouldn't have made the slick remarks about country singers being at the BET awards as if they're not allowed. There have been several country artist who have been in videos with RNb and hip hop artists whose videos have played on BET even staying at the top of the video and radio charts , not to mention even been up for awards, I.e. Tim McGraw and Nelly "over and over"...if you do nothing else, do some research before you make asinine remarks like that for the whole world to see.
I agree. This new pop/rap country is horrible. I'm really not a big fan of Florida Georgia Line. I like Taylor Swift, but not her new stuff. I'm more into her older stuff when she was younger. I absolutely love Carrie Underwood. Blake Shelton is okay, I guess. So is Luke Bryan. Jason Aldean is pretty good. I really like Brad Paisley. And also Keith Urban. And I also like Rascal Flatts. My new favorite country artist right now has to be Chris Stapleton. I mean, his country is REAL! And I heard that Travis Tritt is also a fan of Chris Stapleton's music.
Everybody has the right to an opinion. Why does the race card have to be pulled. I sincerely don’t believe Travis is racist. He makes some good points that of course can be debated.
@@jkm1304 because minorities can not afford to only call out racism in situations when it's extremely overt, as most racist behavior is done covertly. In this case it's a very thin veil, he literally said "you don't see country artist at the BET Awards or Soul Train awards" i.e. "the black award shows.", Beyonce is a huge pop artist and is as mainstream as they come, so why else would those two shows be his go-to examples as the more appropriate award shows that she belongs at?
And even without the above fact, as it's been stated there have been several white non country artists performing there for years before Bee, and he never ranted and raved about it publicly until she performed there. Even if by chance it really wasn't racially motivated if he had any common sense have been aware beforehand of what the optics of that would be.
@@jaysmith9933 BET is not racist... in these times. That, is the hypocrisy and the Woke won't admit it.
@@jkm1304 Everything has to be about race, and everyone has to be a victim of racism. It is so tired. Im sure travis tritt and Alan Jackson and all the traditionalists would have made the same comments if they had put Eminem on stage instead of Beyonce.
In other words he was mad Beyonce performed. The truth of who they are always comes out. He did’nt give a darn about Sting, Elton, or Justin T. But that black girl got him hot. Oh and how does he know what music Beyonce listens to? Did he ask her? Nope, just blowing more bigoted hot air.
And today’s country is all pop look where it got us.
Nothing to say until a black queen shows , then everyone looses there minds keep that same Energy next time norah Roberts is invited.
That’s the hardest back peddle I’ve seen in a minute.
I agree with Travis
If its not broken don't fix it
The Beatles recorded in Nashville and Ringo covered a Buck Owen’s song.
Basically, he's saying we need to keep the CMAs YT! Folks need to know their place. 😡
Fast forward 2019 Billy ray cyrus performs at the bet awards and black people truly didn’t care!!!
His comments have aged like fine milk.
Where does country music origins come from? Just asking??🤣🤣
I get what Travis is saying but Daddy’s Reasons is a great song
Who this ???
His entire comment is basically about segregation.
Yep lol
So Beyonce, Elton John, Sting and other have performed their version of country music. What's wrong with that? Nothing!! Expanding the horizons and crossover of music genres is a good thing IMO. One of my favorites was when Lionel Richie and a bunch of country artists got together to sing his songs. CMT Crossroads is great show with the crossover concept. People need to open their minds, instead of using tunnel vision of the past.
Wowww…. & I liked a few of ur songs before I watched this… Beyoncè’s song was a “country” song!!!
It’s crazy because where did country begin in history?? It wasn’t white people, it was people of color who started real country music & who the hell cares what color someone is or what “genre” they’re classified to be in, at the end of the day an artist is an artist… an artist can do any song, genre or project that they want to. People get too comfortable disconnecting, classifying & separating music but music is music. If a singer accepts a role in a big hit movie they’re not all of a sudden just an actor/actress…. They’re artists & art comes in many colors & many ways. The entertainment industry is all about artists… actors, singers, rappers, voice overs, storytellers… nobody discriminates what form of art you do when classifying whether ur in the entertainment business because artists are artists. It’s all just art.
I personally think that country music should stay country music, a LOT of it now is now is moving away form the Country and more into the Pop gere... disappointing. I for one loved country and always listened to to, NOW>> Not so much. I am now actually going to people like Joe Bonamnasa, which My brother got me into and I Like his stuff better now..Personally I am a bit sick and tired of the first black this and the first woman that.. Charlie pride was a country music singer, that is all, I do not look at him as the first of anything..with that said, I Loved his voice..
Beyonce's full country album is about to come out 😂
uhh...Travis... it's called collaboration...which is quintessential artistry... geez...
Do these people know how many sub genres are under Country alone. Do these people know country music isnt theirs to gatekeep to begin with 👀
He really gonna be mad when she starts winning their awards
Travis needs to get over it, beyonce was performing not accepting an award she was simply there to perform with the dixie chicks and entertain! With all the f$%ked up shit that's going on in our world, Beyonce performing at the cmas with the dixie chicks should not be on the list! Beyonce did not invite herself she was invited to perform! If Travis has a problem, maybe he should take it up with the directors of the show! As far as I know, every year at the cmas there are crossover performances, why was this year any different!
He said it for all of them lol
It’s not about black and white. It’s about country music or not country music.
I disagree I mean the amount of hate she gt was one hundred percent racial
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion so I respect yours.
@@jrizzledrizzle4697 fair enough
But did you like the performance? lol. He makes a valid point and raises an interesting question, he has the right to think it and say it. He doesn't sound absurd like Alan Jackson did. 🤣 Overall I think everyone needs to lighten up. 😁
Wow! And to think i listen to this cat and have bought several CDs of his. Hmmm 😢
But it can’t tho that’s why they had to show up and give that award show it’s highest ratings you’re welcome
Please she showed the world where real country music comes from and it came from the soul of black people
That’s definitely not the case
@@Idbcidj ok then Google it and let me know what you find 👍 especially the origin of the banjo.
@@Idbcidj Stay mad
Not true... but hey, it has to be about Race... some Woke Whites, that is their go to... treating blacks as being unable to function without their pity.
Whew, the entitlement. Such a wicked sickness. Smh
The Wokeness... Such a wicked sickness. Smh.
He's right, producers wanting to make more money just put whoever out there. Dixie chicks weren't country even when they were playing.
Dixie chicks are horrible. The only reason anyone in the industry gives them any recognition at all is because of their past publicity stunts. Based solely on the music they would have dissappeared long ago.
He should have said this goes alll the way back like when we stole the cowboys music and claimed it for our own
He needs to grow up
I grew up as a fan of rock..in recent years I have gone through many country stars and their songs.. and very many of them deserve their status as legends. I agree with Travis Tritt.. why move outside the genre too create ratings when so many fantastic stars are within the country genre.
Why should black artist be banned from going into other genres?
so country artists can jump from genre to genre, but pop artists can't? GTFO.
"Why do anything new when we can just do the same old stuff over and over again."
Evidentally, Travis (and I'm a big fan) doesn't really understand that everything, I mean everything, is about money. Outside entertainers = ratings = $$$, period. If you want a little bitty show, then eliminate that and you'll get one. Country is King. 99.9 of all the population loves a country song as well as the entertainers. I do get what he's saying, tho. Country music changed years ago, decades ago, it was infiltrated and it's never going back to the good old country sound. It is now Pop music, Pop country. That's what audiences want and the fans drive everything.... $$$.
How about a 2 hour show and dont drag it on if you want ratings
Pop needs to stay pop imagine if Micheal Jackson would've did rap just no okay.😂
Why wouldn't it had been okay? Rap is part of his people's culture. So was r,&b , rock, amd country.
It has nothing to do with that bro. Some singers are very talented in they're own way and fit in the genre that matches they're performance not saying it's impossible but Beyonce has always been very talented in her genre and no disrespect at all.
@@edwardwoodard2183 and she sounds great in country. Just as tina sounded great in r&b, country, and rock. Why? Because it is part of THEIR CULTURE
Outside sources? Umm BLACK PEOPLE INVENTED COUNTRY MUSIC.
Yawn. They should appreciate more eyes on them and their music. Eyes that might not have seen them before.
Taylor Swift is an outside source and you don't see Black People talking shit about her.
Then maybe you should watch the grammy vid with Jay Z whining like Kayne cause Taylor beat Beyonce!
@@aydennoah3316 ???? & Taylor didn’t beat BEYONCE retard. It was Harry who did.
Travis Tritt!is so rite on!💯%❗❗❗❗❗❗❗
And this coming from someone who has no idea about the roots of country music. Do some research and THEN have an opinion 🤡
@@kendallrhodes no!you are the one!who!who has no idea!about "the ROOTS OF COUNTRY MUSIC"!! TRAVIS TRITT!IS "PURE COUNTRY" HE IS 100% RIGHT ON!!ABOUT BEYONCE!SHE HAS NO IDEA!WHAT REAL COUNTRY MUSIC IS!SHE NEEDS TO STICK TO HER "SATANIC RITUALS!AND EVIL WITCH" RAP CRAP SO CALLED MUSIC!SBEYONCE IS EVIL!
Do you people really think it was wrong for Beyonce to sing at the CMA's? I think it was great. She sang that country song beautifully. Travis everyone can celebrate Country music..from any genre.
She actually sounded like shit to me that’s just my opinion. I rather have B.B. King or Ray Charles back and sing a country because they actually sound good and the blues was not far from country at all
Beyoncé is from Houston, TX & the song “Daddy Lessons” is HER song. So if it’s not her racial identity, what is it then? Country music started with African-Americans. Let’s stop acting like it’s being tainted or ruined by someone else.
@Matt Beeman I guess what I learned in music at Berkley University was a lie.... Again damn thieving people... I need to get my money back and learn the truth from my peoplw
Keep it Country! Thank you TT!
You just a racist as he is.
Who really gaf what Travis thinks?.
So Eminem , Hall and Oates, Post Malone and ' others ' can come into hip hop , r&b , blues and it's just alright. But these country gate keepers say we don't need or is it ' want ' outsiders coming into our genre. I use do be a fan of Mr. Tritt, my favorites were Tell Me i Was Dreaming and Where Corn Don't Grow.....am no longer a fan. Good day
Wow you morphed into Roseanne
Bro ok bum you said enough geeze people these days 😂
I agree 100% with what he said, he isn't bashing other genres. He is saying we don't need other genres to make us look better or get better ratings, we are good enough in our own.
They absolutely do because country music hasn’t been good since the 90s. Also, a lot of country music fans, like myself, love other genres of music. Nothing is more soulful than r&b music. Beyoncé outperformed 90% of the country artists who have performed at the CMAs since it’s conception.
@@aprilmichelle9658 I said this 2 years ago so I don’t really remember what was going through my mind when I said it. I think I was thinking more of Country Music in its prime, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s. Because you’re right Country music today sucks.
100%
and look what it has come to today........
Mark Chapman yeah look at the garbage country music listeners have to hear these days,rap crap country, pop don't mix with country music either
I agree. These days right now, country music is actually horrible. 80's and 90's country music is REAL country music, and Travis is part of it. And I just want to thank him for it. He's one of my absolute favorite country singers of all time.
Darrel Holmgren I think Shiana Twain would disagree of pop not mixing with country I mean she was the queen of pop country. 😕 but I don't get the whole rap mixing with country that's not my style but I mean its okay I like it when people play around with music and explore it I think its the beauty of music in general. music bring people together.
I love Shania Twain. She really is the queen of pop country, in my opinion.
um.....country was invented by southern BLACK people and white men stole their music and claimed it as their own. I'm not even black nor white but I know more about the history of music. so uh......I don't get it. if he is really a true country artist you think he would have an appreciation on where his music came from. also......WHO CARES! music is beautiful and music brings all kinds of people together so I say music should be celebrated and appreciated from all over the world!
Smart girl! And it doesn't make no one better than the next!
Beyonce might be from Houston Texas but made a joke out of country music so did the Dixie Chicks. I like how you brought up race then say it doesn’t matter obviously it matters to you or you wouldn’t have brought it up. Stop with this nonsense he said nothing about her being black. It’s just plain and simple her music is not Country. Please show me proof that whites “stole” country music. That’s right because you weren’t there.
Ummm......... not exactly. There was a lot of influence and a unique style but country music cannot be traced back to any specific area or race. Nice try though
This isn't about race, you filthy racist trash, it is about a MUSIC GENRE. No, one race did not "steal" another race's music, did you learn that stupid shit in your Oppression, Racism and Sexism 101 college class? The first rap song in the United States was performed by a white woman, so let's have Travis Tritt perform on the BET Hip Hop awards, where all the black rap fans can be appreciative of seeing the skin color who invented their music. See how fucking stupid the same logic sounds? Only in America could your stupid fucking comment get 45 thumbs up. We are becoming a nation of ignorant snowflake pussies.
Color has nothing to do with it he is saying why bring in pop rap rock singers leave it country that's what it is it's country.peoplr always got to make it about a black and white thing
travis tritt huge claim to fame covering the very same artist (darrell Scott) that bey and dixie chicks covered on this performance who wrote "its a great day to be alive," and "long time gone" the song they quoted in the middle of 'Daddy lessons" which jabs the country music industry...he talking out of both sides of his neck basically ...
Couldn’t agree more Travis. Ya fuckin legend ya lol
Beyonce is a bigger fucking legend.
@@shannonfields2740Maybe to you! But not all of us wants to hear rapping country. Beyonce and Jay Z just mad cause they can't beat Taylor Swift! We all heard about his little boy bitch fit on the grammys!
I don’t watch CMA live because of this .. I wait and watch videos that sing country
Plus most people would do whatever anyone told them to do for a buck 💵.. Absolutely anything, and morality has completely gone out the window.
Agree 100%
I totally agree Travis.
Ha
Finally black people taking their music back 🤣 and he’s mad hahahaha
I am really neither for or against other genres being pulled in to Country music venues.
But I will make this observation....Other genres are not welcoming AT ALL to Country music bands, artists or culture. In fact, it is quite the opposite.
Everybody loves Dolly Parton.
You tell em Travis at least you've got balls enough to stand up for traditional country music unlike most other so called country music singers of today , country music is going for shit these days
this is giving off whites only vibes
1000% correct.
Now the new country artist have Sold out to the pop auto tuned music..i hate the new so called country sound. Give me Alan Jackson, Charlie Daniels any day!!
When I read. Comments like this it just shows that you don’t understand your time has come and gone. Youth is king and the younger people like this new pop/country mash up. You can still listen to Alan and Charlie just don’t expect to see them on TV that much or hear them on the radio. I prefer Marvin Gaye or old school Motown but that’s not what the kids are listening to. Face it you’re getting old and so am I. Accept it and quit bitching about the good ole days.
Looking at the comments I agree with Travis. He’s absolutely right that the new artists coming on the scene are clueless about country music. Country is country, not pop or anything else.
100% Correct Travis! I’ve seen this for years at the CMA‘s and otherwise! And you’re correct they’re trying to push viewers as well as open opportunities to bastardize the wholesomeness of traditional country music! More progressive shit! We don’t need to change and we don’t need to be all inclusive! Learn to stay in your lane and leave us the fuck alone
Why cause diversity in the music industry? Why can't you just embrace all types of musicians and their music. No you are wrong about this.
Very well said, Travis! While I enjoy all genres of music, "Murder was committed down on Music Row"... I mean, what in the world was Lenny Kravitz doing, flipping the bird at the CMA Fest about 5 years ago???
He was flipping the bird to you. Same as Johnny Cash was flipping the bird to you. Pop country really sucks.
Amen Travis tells it like it is brother 👊💪💯🍺🍻
She's not a country singer. Her songs are not country songs. She's doing it for attention and to be in the headlines. That is it.
What an actual jerk. He should be happy that other artists even want to take part in performances like this. I just don't understand how country music artist are so close-minded it's just incredible. Music is all about mixing genres and music styles. So many people in urban places would never watch the CMA Awards if not for performances like the one that Beyonce and the Dixie Chicks. This is how people are introduced to the country music genre and maybe they stick around for the entire show and then next time of country music artist sings in town though buy tickets
I love the comment about AJ or Strait singing with Van Halen or Motley Crue, Matt! That's the reason I liked your comment, and I enjoy ALL types of music! LOL!! I just can't picture that happening! Or Guns N' Roses; I remember one year Carrie Underwood opened a CMA Fest special with "Paradise City", and I love that song, but this is a COUNTRY music show!
@Matt Beeman I listen to *REAL* country music. Travis Twit is *not real country.* Travis Tritt is a pop country assclown.
@Matt Beeman Heck, there's even pop/rockers like Sheryl Crow and Darius Rucker, who have country influences in their music; why not invite them to the CMAs?
Hmm ah yes he’s a jerk for wanting a celebration about the history of country music to be about country music.
Listen to the fools cutting travis down like he's a nobody. This guy's a Legend!
So is Beyonce.
A racist legend.
@@derrichoward91 He ain't shit compared to B. He'll never be on her level.
Dude Travis is the shit!!! He’s right and it’s not about Beyoncé performance
And yet he only spoke up after beyonce brought in the highest views for the CMAs due to her performing her country song with the chicks. Every year CMA invites non country artists to collaborate. Why did these white men never complain then. Also they need to take it up with the CMA’s for inviting Beyonce. She ddnt show up there on her own. Secondly, take a look at the country charts and tell me that doesnt require innovation or fresh music. Its all bro country. There are barely any women forget black women. Black ppl literally created the banjo that plays so prominently in country songs. Blues, soul, gospel all relate to country genre and who created those genres? Black ppl. Now what does that tell us about these old white men getting angry about this topic? Everyone knows country music listeners are bigoted and small minded. He is proving it just like Alan did. Mind you they have no problem when australians, canadians and brits make country music but a black texan with parents from alabama and louisianna shouldnt dare to make country music.
Not a true music lover in my opinion if you don’t love all genres some of the greatest songs are collaborations of different genres
Beyonce's song was country. Just say you don't like Bey and go
Olol
U dont know whats country?
Yeah you don’t know what country is then.
didn't belong there.
Nah it really wasn’t. She’s not country. She’s dipping into the culture, using it for hype, then going right back to her castle. She doesn’t care about country
Taylor swift isn't country tradition. They need to do their own thing. Country's been off track 4 a while. You have freedom of assembly, freedom of speech and religion. If men can marry men you can have traditional country.
Tell em like it is, Haus!

Go Travis Tritt! Amen. You tell 'em, baby 😘😘😘.
They should not have brought in Beyoncé
