Robbery of the century. People talk about Renaissance not winning but Lemonade still hurts to this day. It was the definition of AOTY. Musically and specially culturally. No other album was as talked that year. And it's frustrating because - counting Renaissance - it's the third time she is CLEARLY robbed. BEYONCÉ lost to a guy that nobody even remember, Lemonade lost to 25 and Renaissance lost to Harry Styles. People like adele, harry and Taylor are winning for making the same music over and over whilst Beyoncé is being ignored while changing the industry.
Yes! Music is now dropped on Friday due to Beyoncé, but that’s with her self-titled Beyoncé album. She dropped an entire album + visuals on a Friday, and changed the music industry that day !!
I remember there was no mention of what the HBO special was going to be about. I was GAGGED when she recited the first poem. I might as well had been at a Beyoncé concert because it was a moment I’ll never forget watching it when it premiered
@@Istandinthesun943 Correct. We knew *something* from Beyonce was going to be on HBO. And we had the Formation video. Otherwise, we had no idea what we were tuning in for. It was very impactful for me and it's what made me a real fan of Beyoncé's. Before that, I didn't understand that she was doing anything different than any other pop star with a great voice. I was wrong.
She performed Daddy Lessons at the CMAs with the Dixie Chicks and there was a lot of racist backlash and they actually took the performance off their website. That experience inspired Cowboy Carter.
I love the way she finishes the first song whispering “what are you doing my love” and goes thru all the pain and rebuild their relationship and at the end of All Night they reconciled and she whispers “oh I missed you my love” in the same exact tone.. ooooh! ties the album up so beautifully 🤌🏽
In 6Inch Heels, I feel like she is talking about herself, not the other woman. She basically recognizes that she tried to put the relationship issues/separation to the side and be a performer, world traveler, professional (she doesn't have to give it up, the other woman did), and didn't lose a step. She recognizes that she accomplished that publically. She wanted him to see her out there doing her thing, and want her back. Not her come back wanting him. But in truth she did want him back as well and there was affect on her.
Before reacting to her Self-titled album, I highly recommend reacting to her Lemonade film. It adds so much to the story of the album. It would obviously be great if you could share it on RUclips but even if it's a Patreon exclusive or something you watch on your own, it's something you should totally watch at some point.
Loved this!! This was the beginning of a trilogy. Lemonade was from her perspective Jay-Z’s album 4:44 came after Then The Carters album which perfectly ties it all together and is such an amazing album!!!
You should watch the visual movie she dropped before the album released. You will feel the album even more. One of the greatest things she put out. The beyhive is still shocked she didn’t win AOTY for this album.
i think back when this came out i really didn’t listen to full albums based on singles if it was artists i didn’t usually listen to. so id hear the hits but that’s it. that why i love having this channel! getting connected with it all!
@@StevenInStereobeen a Stan since 18. I’m 44 in 2 weeks. Went to the uk on my own from Ireland 🇮🇪 and slept on the airport floor to see Renaissance and it was life changing. 🐝🐝
@@StevenInStereo Oh Man! She sings live DONT HURT YOURSELF and FREEDOM (the rock vibe songs )on her HOMECOMING film on Netflix. Your are gonna love it😎😎😎
The album visuals provides so much context to this album. Definitely recommend reacting to that. Also, if you need closure from the cheating, you can listen to Jay-Z address this topic from his perspective in his 2017 album called 444. They then came together in 2018 and made Everything Is Love by The Carters.
Daddy Lessons was the song Beyoncé performed at the CMA back in 2016, where she received racist comments and felt unwelcome. Beyoncé has said that Cowboy Carter was born out of that unfortunate experience.
LEMONADE is Beyoncé's album calling Jay-Z out. 4:44 is Jay-Z's apology album to Beyoncé. EVERYTHING IS LOVE is their collaboration album celebrating making it thru the tough times.
Don't Hurt Yourself is my favorite Beyoncé song because she was COMING FOR BLOOD, the warning at the end? She said TRY ME NOW, I DARE YOU then later she came for Becky with Jolene HAHAHAHA I would be terrified of this woman, honestly
Yes correct, everyone now releases on Friday because of her. Artists also tried to recreate her success with the self titled surprise drop as well after that.
If any album should’ve gotten AoTY this year it was definitely Lemonade. Adele said so herself. It sad that some don’t recognize Bey as one of the greatest vocalist of our time. She can sing almost anything.
Many people don’t get 6 inch in the context of the album. After B found out about the cheatation she actually focused heavily on her work. She took her baby and left for Paris (at the end of sorry she does talk about him finding the note in the hallways bout the time he finds it she’ll be far away) in Paris she was grinding just working working and working some more. (Probably to forget and keep her mind busy as we all do sometime in the face of trauma). In the song she talks about the grind and how much she loves it while by the end all those distractions don’t keep her from missing her husband, moving us into another phase of healing. Love this track, live this album! For the people interested dissect podcast does a beautiful job breaking down the songs/visuals!
Don't Hurt Yourself: Her Glastonbury set where she covered Prince and then Sex on Fire is vocally similar to Don't Hurt Yourself. That's also the track that has the entire Beyhive praying Actiii is a rock themed album. Daddy Lessons: A lot of OG Daddy Lessons stans consider Daughter the spiritual sister to DL. Around the time B separated from her father as her manager it came out that he'd been cheating on Mama Tina, had a whole kid on the side. She went from deifying fathers in her music to seeing them as complicated but loving. Even before that, the break up of Destiny's Child v1 was attributed to his ruthless, almost cruel prioritization of Bey's career over the other girls. If you watch the visuals for this album (with some guidance, cause it's very culturally coded) but taken as one whole project Lemonade tells the story of a woman seeing pain and disrespect in her personal life and looking to the women around her and those who came before her for guidance. Freedom: The vocal technique you're looking for is "growl". In the Renaissance doc Beyonce talked about how she developed it as a child due to a vocal injury where a producer kept making her do it over and over until she had to go on vocal rest, but after that it became a fixed component of her tool kit.
@@StevenInStereo 🤯 I am subscribing to everything right now, you are so real man..Love your Beyonce content!!! Don't forget to check out the Visual Álbum too..sending love man
I think you can hear a bit of that rock growl from Don’t Hurt Yourself on Ameriican Requiem and Ya Ya. Also although the songs on cowboy Carter don’t sound exactly like daddy lessons I think there are similar themes/vibes on Daughter, alligator tears, 16 carriages.
The surprise drop was her self titled album! Not lemonade but lemonade definitely gave a huge impact. Best selling album of 2016. Her most acclaimed album today. Still can’t believe it didn’t win album of the year.
I have been for this for soooo long!! You said you are going to watch the Netflix Film??? She performed some of this songs live on that film! It is honestly crazy good 😎 I AM SUBSCRIBING TO YOUR PATREON😭😭😭😭😭
You have to react to her live performance to this song with the Dixie chicks on the CMA. From this is how Cowboy Cater came into being. The cma rejected her.
Beyoncé actually performed with Prince when she was a new solo artist at the Grammys. Also she did an amazing cover of his song beautiful ones/ sex on fire by KOL for her glastonberry performance I recommend doing a reaction of that.
6 inch is one of her best songs ever! The sound, the grit, the emotion and pain, just beautiful! To me the song adresses that moment in a situation of betrayal when you just don't care anymore, you're completely empty inside because of the all the anger, the worries, the realization that this has happened to you. It's apathy after all the turmoil. Of course a workaholic like Beyonce talks about diving even more in her work, grinding day and night, from Monday to Sunday, so she doesn't have to "feel" and think. Her work becomes her distraction and what saves her from the whole situation. What a song!🔥🔥
Daddy lessons is the reason cowboy carter exist. She performed this sobre at CMA and recieve a lot of hate for it. She sad she felt unwelcomed so she made CC. The surprise album drop was Beyoncé, not lemonade. That was her first album after Blue was born so she had a lot to say. Its a full visual album and is very sexual.
I’m not just saying this because I’m a Beyoncé fan, but your album reactions are incredible. You’ve earned a new subscriber just from your thoughtfulness alone. Taking the time to understand the artist’s perspective really makes a big difference, and I can’t wait to check out the rest of your content.
I love your reviews!! Please let us know when you react to the visual album, it seems like you’d really appreciate the additional poetry, imagery and messages.
SO excited that you're doing this series, loved watching this reaction. But please please go back and do Lion King: the Gift! It's not a soundtrack album but a beyonce album in its own right with amazing collabs and it's such an important part of her artistic journey
Just binged your 3 Beyonce reactions and loved them! I was jamming out alongside you! I hope you also check out The Gift and Everything is Love. Both of these are collab albums, released between Lemonade and Renaissance. Although they are collabs, they very much feel like a Beyonce project and she is heavily present throughout. Also, unrelated, there's an America Has a Problem remix with Kendrick Lamar that you might dig!
I feel like some of her live performances have a similar feel to Don't Hurt Yourself -- specifically because on Don't Hurt Yourself you can hear her as a ROCKSTAR ... and that's eviden when she's live too.
You should react to the performance that led to her making Cowboy Carter. DADDY LESSONS at the CMA 50th Anniversary special. The Chicks performed it with her because they loved this album so much that they covered this song on their tour. Beyonce was impressed and respected them as a fan of theirs. The CMA'S invited her to perform that song because they needed to viewing numbers. It was their highest viewed awards show. The Chicks hadn't come to the CMA'S since they were banned from it because they questioned the performance of the then president George Bush about the war. Lots of toxic and racists comments were put on the website, and instead of backing the artists they asked to come, by shutting down the comments and leaving the performance up, the CMA'S did the opposite. There were people, other artists in the audience that were talking about her while performing, and some walked out. I forget which celebrity guest said it, but they said that while they were in the audience they were hearing things like "Get this black b***h off the stage." In Cowboy Carter, track 1 she sings "There's a lot of talking going on, while I sing my song. Can you hear me...or do you fear me?" This song addresses that issue and the backlash fueled her to write this album, and also Act 1. The CMA performance is spectacular.
The second verse of Hold Up really is her kind of digging into him. She is talking about how when they first met. He was having trouble being taken seriously in business spaces. When she says they had you labeled as a king, she means a kingpin a drug dealer. Never made it out the cage, jail. She is saying to him that she elevated his life. This takes us back to the upgrade you song. She is a true supportive partner and helped make him who he is. And she really truly loves him. In the Lemonade album, she eludes to him, showing her his scars meaning his vulnerabilities and his insecurities. So after listening to this album for eight years, I really feel confident in stating that Jay Z felt like she was too good for him and subconsciously sabotaged his relationship with her, she made a decision to stick it out with him and help him get past this hurdle in his own mental in order to make him a better person and a better husband and father. She’s an amazing woman for that. She didn’t have to do that! But Man does he owe her everythingbecause she did.
Feel like you should check out a couple of Freya ridings songs including lost without you! She's got an amazing voice and reminds me a little of my fave florence and the machine!!
If you haven't listened to her album 4 yet, you should. That album showcases her powerful "shouty" vocals the best. I think you will love songs like 1+1, I Care, Start Over, Love On Top etc. One of her best ever albums! She also has covered Prince before and even performed with him!
Not sure if anyone pointed it out but, in the film each song is a new chapter, a new stage of emotion she’s going through while each song is also a different genre. For example, Don’t Hurt Yourself was “Anger” in film. From suspicion to reconciliation, Lemonade takes your thru the journey.
@StevenInStereo Yes, she did a Prince(Beautiful Ones)tribute/Sex On Fire cover in her Glastonbury performance..she was also pregnant with Blue at the time! U have to react❤️🐝
Has Beyonce covered Prince you ask? My oh my do I have an insane performance for you to react to ❤❤ Beyoncé Live in Glastonbury- Beautiful Ones/Sex on Fire
React to her Beautiful Ones cover by Prince at Glastonbury!!!! You will GAG!! Also it was actually her Self Titled album that was a surprise and changed release days to Friday 😊 Rock is the rumored vibe of Act 3
The surprise drop that changed the industry was actually her self-titled album in 2013, which I hope you get to do soon as well, not the lemonade album just a quick correction!!
Please can you react to the LIVE version of Perries 'forget about us' and if not then please react to 'my love' by Leigh Anne because you didn't react to that when it came out
24:48 yes something did happen with Beyonce father he had cheated on Beyonce's mother which did kinda sour her relationship with him, but I think they are alright now but back then I think she was probably very disappointed and hurt by him for hurting her mother
I LOVED the video! Is it possible to react on the new pre-release track « Come Back To Me » out on may 10 of the rapper RM a member of BTS! Also to he is new album «Right Place Wrong Person » out on may 24. Thank you :).
it doesnt make sense because it might not have happened. beyonce is an artist and can take creatively licenses. sure maybe jay z has betrayed or hurt beyonce(and vice versa) beyonce as an artist takes her own experiences and of others creates and tells powerful and resonant stories and music like lemonade. It could even be including stories from jay z's grandmother(who is the voice recording "I was served lemons but I made lemonade"). I also find it hard to believe J would ever cheat on B!
He admits it and talks about going to therapy on 4:44 and they also talk about having to renew their vows because he messed up on Everything Is Love. Solange didnt go upside his head in that elevator for no reason

I still can't believe Lemonade didn't get the AOTY
Me too, unbelievable
We know why.
too colorfull for the academy
Like all of her other albums lost.../

Lemonade was from her perspective
Jay-Z’s album 4:44 came after
Then The Carters album which perfectly ties it all together and is such an amazing album!!!
I can’t listen to Lemonade or Everything Is Love without listening to the whole album. Adding those songs onto other playlists just feels wrong

@@StevenInStereoyou've got to listen to her live performances
She actually covered Prince in a live by singing “Beautiful ones” mashed up with “Sex on fire”. She also duetted with him at a Grammy performance!
Yes! The Prince cover was Live at the Glastonbury Beautiful One/Sex on Fire/ 1+1 an amazingly raw performance. I hope he reacts to it.

So good. This album helped me through a very hard time. Don’t Hurt Yourself is one of my all time faves!
You have to react and experience the film, so you'll see the visual pertaining to the fade out to audio-visual . Gut wrenching and the vulnerability 😢
Omg you’re just getting to this. PLEASE react to the VISUALS !!!! AND THE VMA PERFORMANCE OF THIS !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Feel like you should check out a couple of Freya ridings songs including lost without you! She's got an amazing voice and reminds me a little of my fave florence and the machine!!
Why is sandcastles always blocked on every yt video😂
Exactly!!! It's the most beautiful song of the album
Please, please, please, the carters everything is love!!
Watched early on Patreon but came here to leave by ❤
You have GOT to react to her CMA performance of Daddy Lessons with the Chicks. One of the greatest live performances ever!!
Check out her cover of Prince’s the beautiful ones at glastonbury 2011 !!! It’s sickkkk
You need to react to the netflix documentary HOMECOMING 🤩🤩🤩
If you haven't listened to her album 4 yet, you should. That album showcases her powerful "shouty" vocals the best. I think you will love songs like 1+1, I Care, Start Over, Love On Top etc. One of her best ever albums! She also has covered Prince before and even performed with him!
She has covered Prince! Check out her Glastonbury performance of The Beautiful Ones + Sex on Fire. It's one of my fave live covers.
You should've done the visual album reaction for this.
i thought about it but it’s not how i listen to music. i’d rather listen to the album and then check out visualizers! just personal preference!
@@StevenInStereo the visuals will elevate the album
To answer your question at 12:34 , according to the hive, Beyonce's Renaissance act III will be heavily rock-influenced, so we just have to wait.
Not sure if anyone pointed it out but, in the film each song is a new chapter, a new stage of emotion she’s going through while each song is also a different genre. For example, Don’t Hurt Yourself was “Anger” in film. From suspicion to reconciliation, Lemonade takes your thru the journey.
@StevenInStereo Yes, she did a Prince(Beautiful Ones)tribute/Sex On Fire cover in her Glastonbury performance..she was also pregnant with Blue at the time! U have to react❤️🐝
we are praying act 3 gives more "don't hurt yourself"
Best album ever 👏🏽💕
You need to listen to her self titled album. Another masterpiece!
PLEASE REACT TO HER COVER OF PRINCE 🥺 she did beautiful ones and sex on fire by kings of Leon it was so good
Has Beyonce covered Prince you ask? My oh my do I have an insane performance for you to react to ❤❤
Beyoncé Live in Glastonbury- Beautiful Ones/Sex on Fire
React to her Beautiful Ones cover by Prince at Glastonbury!!!! You will GAG!! Also it was actually her Self Titled album that was a surprise and changed release days to Friday 😊 Rock is the rumored vibe of Act 3
you'd appreciate this album even more if you also watch film!! the lemonade film is a masterpiece!!!
omg my fav💗😭
i think you are referring to her self titled album “beyonce” 😃 i would love your reaction to that soon!!!
12:52 Beyoncé has covered Prince at Glastonbury 2011 and performed with Prince at the Grammys 2004
Here to say you MUST watch the visual album/short film….it will line up with what you’re saying about “hold up” 😏
The surprise drop that changed the industry was actually her self-titled album in 2013, which I hope you get to do soon as well, not the lemonade album just a quick correction!!
Please can you react to the LIVE version of Perries 'forget about us' and if not then please react to 'my love' by Leigh Anne because you didn't react to that when it came out
Please react to the "Lawrence - i'm confident i'm insecure (acoustic version)"
Don't quote me on it but I think we might have a rock album coming.
24:48 yes something did happen with Beyonce father he had cheated on Beyonce's mother which did kinda sour her relationship with him, but I think they are alright now but back then I think she was probably very disappointed and hurt by him for hurting her mother
Wheeeee imma hurry up and watch this before anything gets copyrighted
Noooo Sandcastles was a victim once again. Literally on every reaction that one gets blocked. Time to sign up for your patreon!
❤️❤️
Her performance of this on the VMAs was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The visuals make it hit even harder 😫
Please react on Right Person Wrong Time on 24th may! Please
you should watch the film it make it 100 times better
You’ve gotta watch the visuals 😕😕😕😕😔😔😔😔
You need to check out Beyoncé at Glastonbury covering Prince's Beautiful Ones and Sex on Fire! You're gonna love it!
Can u react to journals by justin ?
I love Adele but this should have won album of the year.
I LOVED the video! Is it possible to react on the new pre-release track « Come Back To Me » out on may 10 of the rapper RM a member of BTS! Also to he is new album «Right Place Wrong Person » out on may 24. Thank you :).
Please react to Beyonce cover Prince’s Beautiful Ones At Glastonbury
Yes ! With sex on fire right after !
it doesnt make sense because it might not have happened. beyonce is an artist and can take creatively licenses. sure maybe jay z has betrayed or hurt beyonce(and vice versa) beyonce as an artist takes her own experiences and of others creates and tells powerful and resonant stories and music like lemonade. It could even be including stories from jay z's grandmother(who is the voice recording "I was served lemons but I made lemonade"). I also find it hard to believe J would ever cheat on B!
He admits it and talks about going to therapy on 4:44 and they also talk about having to renew their vows because he messed up on Everything Is Love. Solange didnt go upside his head in that elevator for no reason
He as an artist can also make the art he chooses to make and has said they made 444, lemonade and everything is love all together
People release albums and singles on Fridays Becuz of her self titled Beyonce album. Not lemonade. You’re close tho !!!! She is the music industry !!
Bon Jovi album reactions/reviews please
