4 was when she started doing ALBUMS and not just a collection of good songs yk? Some may argue that it was the beginning of her going for less pop-radio but who knows
4 to self title to lemonade to Renaissance and now cowboy carter is a crazy lineup of albums to have in her discography fucking amazing
Yes. She fired her dad as manager and became her own manager.
I mean she was always doing ALBUMS. B’Day is right there
@@bmwjourdandunngoddess6024 im so sorry, even though bday as AMAZING songs the ALBUMS started with 4 no discussion
@@amarildesilva6662No
He’ll eventually fall down the rabbit hole of watching her live videos/performances and become a newly transformed Beyhive member
ok so for context, renaissance and cowboy carter are 2 parts of a 3 part trilogy/act of one big story she’s doing, with each album reclaiming a genre that black artists pioneered (act 1 being renaissance and house music, cowboy carter being act 2 being country) and act 3 is speculated to be rock/punk/alt/etc as the final act. it’s also assumed at the end of the 3 acts will be 1 big visual film of all 3 acts released everywhere at the same time
Omg. I didn't even think about rennaissance being a reclaiming of house music. Probably because everyone I knew doing house music from when it started and the house music djs around Houston id listen to to we're not wyt. I just thought house music was gaining popularity again and more artists were incorporating it into their music. Lol I'm an idiot.
So is her 3rd album going to reclaim techno music? Because that was also born out of Detroit, Father of Detroit techno Juan Atkins, a black artist.
I'm going to have to listen to reinnassance deeper. And now I have to buy that one too. ❤
@@Saintacy most people speculate that act 3 will be rock music.
man I hope she does rock music. The closest we’ve gotten is Don’t Hurt Yourself that’s my fave off of Lemonade
So we have to wait for all three acts to come out before we see visuals? That's so fcking stupid.
Not doing the deluxe edition of B’day such a crime, specially because the collab with shakira ✨
damn...ill def check it out
@@jasonpaulkimin Houston Radio history, she got airplay on a popular bilingual station with her Spanish songs. It seemed that around Houston when people saw Destiny's child perform with the original 2 others, Letoya Luckett and Octavia? (an ex af mine was a Houston music scene photog) people got a sense she'd break out.
Actually, Jay's cheating does play a big role on Lemonade, the visuals that accompanied the sound make the narrative on this album very, very clearer: the struggle in her relationships intertwine with social commentary, and makes a broader statement on the collective experience that black women face in America.
I honestly don't think one can fully say they fully listened to Lemonade or Beyoncé without watching the visual part of those albums, they really expand on the concepts and the narratives that each song explores, and are meant to be wachted/listened to together.
interesting ill have to check those out
@@jasonpaulkim The Lemonade visual is on the physical copy on the álbum, however i don't think it's available on any streaming. However... I may or may not have the .mp4 file of it in case you're interested 👀

Beyoncé makes great albums, but what makes the beyhive love her is the countless LIVE performances of each project which surpasses the recording. Check out some of her performances from each era
Yes..her live performances are unmatched. Die hard Beyhive ❤
Binge-listening to Beyoncé's albums may seem tempting, but it often undermines the depth of her artistry. To truly appreciate her work, one must allow ample time for the intricate thematic layers to resonate. Beyoncé's albums are a testament to her profound musical acumen and unwavering dedication to her craft. Her meticulous control over production ensures a cohesive and immersive experience for the listener. However, in today's fast-paced world, many are quick to move on to the next fleeting musical trend, missing the opportunity to delve into the profound messages embedded in her music. Beyond her recorded works, Beyoncé's prowess as a performer is unparalleled, captivating audiences with her vocal acrobats, dynamic stage presence, and meticulous attention to detail in her live shows. For those seeking a deeper connection with her artistry, exploring her visual catalogues and live performances offers a gateway to a profound admiration for her talent; It's where most people fall deeply in love with her. I would start with watching the Lemonade visual album, Black Is King, Coachella performance, Live at the Glastonbury, just to begin with.
Thank you for your review. ❤🐝
Exaclty. You can’t binge Beyoncé
You have to
consume albums
Consume visuals
Consume live performances
See her do national anthems , presidential performances, Oscar’s, Grammys
See her performs with every icon from prior century.
There’s no one comparable
Not even close.
Not often, it absolutely undermines her artistry
Meanwhile they spend 3 years deciphering her music to justify her greatness
Your assessment is spot on and articulated so well. Thank you.❤
Her live performances are also AMAZING!
The gift is a masterpiece you should listen to it
Excellent taste
I honestly think he might not enjoy it tho.
Yes! It's a great transition between Lemonade and Renaissance
The disrespect with that first Renaissance comment.. boi... I'm glad you came around tho.
Renaissance was no doubt Beyonce's most ambitious project when it came out (me thinks Cowboy Carter might have topped that by its significance but it is still up there as a masterpiece). It was not made to serve as a commercial album but a profound dive into black and black queer culture influence on Dance music (as Cowboy Carter is a study on the Black influence on country music as a reflection of the black foundation of America itself but I digress) and it packs so many references from the Disco music to the ballroom scene that only an artist from Beyonce's caliber would be able to bring to the mainstream. I understand that is not necessarily a first listen instantaneous hype type of album, but more like an art statement you need some context to fully appreciate but when you do.. your mind will be blown.
Culturally ignorant, historically ignorant. I can’t take it!
Rushing through the songs in a binge is disrespectful too.
When they spend 3 years dissecting t swift songs to validate her perceived greatness.
@@bperez8656 black women are continually underappreciated but the taylor stray was so uncalled for? y'all bring her up for no reason
@@r1tw1kbecause it's true about her everywhere you look omg she's the best song writer, who decides that her fans. Also her fans try to compare Taylor to Michael Jackson for God Sake and come for his legacy 🙄
@@tjhill8093 there are many respected musical institutions that have directly cited and awarded the high proficiency of taylor's songwriting. i think comparisons to MJ moreso lean on their shared household name status, record music sales, and dominant capture of the media cycle.
Dude you lost me when you disrespected lemonade talking about it sonically wasn’t much different from her previous albums you swifties ears are fried I’m convinced like wtf you can’t be serious.
They’re historically ignorant.
Culturally ignorant.
It hurts so bad!
Extremely and strategically disrespectful for sure.
Instead of saying “classics” he called them all old and dated
Jokes on you he's not a swiftie
@@Mel-jl8dt that means nothing
You guys ever think that people can like different things, have different opinions and dislike artists even if they are popular artists? He handled it very respectfully he just didn’t love her songs and thats ok
Great reviews and reaction. I loved hearing your perspective of her music as a young gen-z’er who wasn’t around during the height of her commercial success.
The only thing that kinda of annoyed me was you kept alluding to the fact there were people directing her career with statements like “they realized Beyoncé’s sounds” lol the Vice President of Columbia once said “A lot of artists pretend to be in control of their career, Beyoncé actually is.” And everyone who has worked with her says they are executing her ideas, whether or not she is writing. Also the reason a lot of Beyoncé’s songs are tailored to only her being able to sing them is because she has always been her own vocal producer. In fact, she also was the vocal producer for Destiny’s Child and arranged their harmonies and structure of her songs. One of her sound engineers did a whole university course and talked about how she is very meticulous and would sit in the studio with him making sure the vocals were stacked right. He talked about how one time they were up for 48 hours because she had all these creative ideas for structuring a song that she ended up scrapping. Jonny Cofar, who produced Freedom from lemonade said Beyoncé is a producer, not because she is actually making the beats, but because she is hearing the music. She’ll receive a song from a producer and will tell them to add or take away certain instruments and weave different songs together.
Something that people try to drag Beyonce for having a lot of credited writers and producers, but that is intentional. She can and has written songs by herself for Destiny’s Child and her solo career. In 2006, when B’Day came out she discussed how she enjoyed making that album due to collaborative nature. She said it’s something that she wants to do because she doesn’t want her sound to become stagnant. But again, she’s always the director.
Also, I think the reason Beyonce has been able to have a long career is because she never allowed her record label to mold her. Because Columbia Records didn’t believe Destiny’s Child was going to be super successful, her dad who was their manager was able to negotiate a deal that basically gave them full creative control as artists. A deal that usually only veteran musicians get lol. They didnt believe Dangerously in Love would be commercially successful and wanted her to re-record it. When she did B’Day, she self fundrd that entire project and recorded it without Columbia’s knowledge and they were pissed. I Am… Sasha Fierce was probably her first album where they were aligned. And then she fired her father as manager and that’s when she really became more experimental with her sound. She’s been able to go against what’s expected of her which has earned her a loyal fan base while also bringing on new fans.
And then when you get into the music videos and live performances, again, her collaborators are always talking about how creative and involved she is and how they are bringing her vision to life.
When you get to 4, that is the beginning of grown woman, been through real life experiences Beyoncé. The other albums were her just singing what she thought would be popular. Up to that point, she had been working hard, sheltered, with little experiences in love and life. Now she's seasoned.
🫡
You cape for Taylor Swift, clearly you don’t care about vocals THAT much
you're coping lol he dogs on her multiple times in this video
Renaissance grows on you SO much, at first I was confused asf but now it’s my favorite beyonce album and I always listen to it when I’m doing a long activity like cleaning my entire room ro soemthing it just uplifts ur energy and ur right it’s not really a house album at all it’s a dance album combining disco, reggae, Afro beat, house, electronic, hyper pop, ect…
Edit: mine featuring drake is an underrated masterpiece I didn’t get it at first either but it hits at 3:00 am
I agree ❤
Beyoncé was bigger then harry
Harry was a "Beyonce of the group" for One Direction
Yes , ppl are using this term to describe who will go solo of the group
IS
@@noangel663 right but I said was bigger cuz her time in a group is past tense
people sleep on 4 soooo much but it reallt is a flawless album!!! like 4 is basically a collection of her classics
My top three album from her are Renaissance, Lemonade, and Homecoming. I wish you would talk about the Homecoming live album and the Coachella performance, because I thought it was a really monumental moment for you to mention. Adding to your statement of her being one of the greatest performers alive. But regardless I really enjoy and appreciate your thoughts.
Whoa ageism can really effect your taste in music, bc in what world is a song sounding “old” a critique 💀💀💀
if u listen in the vid i actually say tht it isnt an inherently bad thing that its old its just harder to get into
tbf he means dated (sonically) not old in age
Right! Very short sighted.

16:08 dude partition is a fandom favourite, if you had not liked that song I would actually flip a table
I think he meant that yonce and partition were merged into one track but he didn’t realize it was two diff songs, he probably was talking about yonce
@@glazersfest maybe, but I keep what I said bc not liking Yoncé would be equally crazy
I hate when people cap on gen z… but after this video I finally understand 😔
Their takes are so…disrespectful and ignorant. I’m a millennial and people practically idolized older generations musically because we appreciated how good it was. Gen Z Is just so ageist that they come across…uncultured.
I don't agree with your takes about DIL and Bday feeling old. Like, I get what you mean but it seemed to be the crux of your reasoning for disliking them as a whole and I just can't get behind that reasoning lol you're ofc free to dislike them! They're actually in my bottom two as well but for completely diff reasons is all
Other than that (and lemonade being not as good sonically??? WHAT!), I enjoyed this vid cause you were very up front about your opinions. When non Beyoncé fans review her music they seem kinda scared of what the beyhive will say to them lmao we not gonna jump yall. I'll take honesty over buttering up/watered down opinions. Glad you enjoyed listening!
totally fair! im glad u enjoyed the video regardless :)
what i love sm abt these kind of videos is that i feel like i can follow u thru a new experience whenever u do an album review of an artist i dont listen as much to. and this gives me so much more respect for them and their art! thanks for another awesome vid :))
p.s. dw ur not the only one living under a rock bc somehow ive never listened to beyonce either, other than halo and single ladies ofc god damn 😭
im so glad u enjoyed it!!

Now her live performances 👏🏾🤭

@@jasonpaulkim YES.
this was definitely a video !
lets goooooo

🤷🏻♂️
That’s literally what partition means. To divide,seperate.
hey I always enjoy watching your videos, keep up the great work!
thank u sm!!! i def will
This was really entertaining to watch! I can’t wait to see your Cowboy Carter video 🥰
glad u liked it!!
So cool hearing a 'youngin's' unbiased take on Bey, cool video and you've inspired me to dust off her older albums again 🙌✨
glad u enjoyed!
Kiddo the old sound on Sasha Fierce was deliberately retro already at the time it came out. It sounded mostly 80’s already at the time.
Btw Destiny’s Child was a vehicle band made by her Dad for her and it was obvious she was Destiny’s Child from the first single No No No. First because of her looks and then once people heard her on Survivor (this is to me Beyoncé’s first album, so many signs of upcoming greatness here in spite of dated sounds, Bootylicious, Fancy, Sexy Daddy…the Emotions cover was a highlight as well as the Independent Women pt2 and Dangerously In Love which was originally on that album)
People realized then she was singing, co-producing, writing and ad libbing like nobody since Mariah it became clear she was unique. Her MTV performance of Dangerously in Love live with the dove was a turning moment. About the first album. It’s too old?? You don’t know Naughty Girl, Baby Boy, Dangerously In Love? The first two albums are classic. Irreplaceable isn’t Bday’s best song it’s the most generic written and produced by Swedish producers, Ring The Alarm, Get Me Bodied and Upgrade You are imo the best songs there.
Also you probably respond to Crazy In Love and Irreplaceable because they’ve been played over and over everywhere for decades now and are part of the collective consciousness.
Also Renaissance isn’t about House music it’s about DISCO and dance in general!
VOL1 DISCO VOL2 COUNTRY VOL3 ?????( probably ROCK although I hope it isn’t since Country IS Rock)
Also Madonna’s career is longer than Beyonce’s with albums paving the way in a zeitgeist way since 1982! She is Beyonce’s n.1 career model/blueprint .
I agree about Renaissance being less memorable than Cowboy Carter even though it’s amazing.
Taylor Swift cannot hold a candle to Beyonce’s otherworldly talent by no means. No disrespect to TS it’s just the truth.
Beyoncé will probably be remembered as history’s greatest pop superstar alongside Michael Jackson Prince, Madonna and Mariah. (Arguably alongside Aretha, Stevie, Elton John, Donna, Olivia Newton John, Tina, Whitney, Adele, TS, Ariana, Bruno, Freddie, Sinatra and Elvis) Streisand is in a league of her own being the only one to be an actual Hollywood movie legend.
We’ll have to see what the future holds for Dua Lipa, Olivia Rodrigo and Harry Styles.
Great video!
Is burping a cool thing? Enlighten an old dog here please.
Fave Beyoncé song haunted, heated, partition, XO, love on top, if I was a boy, be with you, speechless, all up in your mind, and American requiem off her new album. I’m 100% forgetting more songs
solid
Man I love ur editing style so much
thank u!
I Actually really enjoyed this video and im glad you took the time to dive into her discography (especially as a swiftie knowing the history between these two fan bases 😅) Beyonce definitely is this an artist who has the talent to do whatever genre or sound she wants to and the only limit she has is pretty much the one she sets on herself and even though you didn't turn out to become "hive" respecting appreciating and loving her music is pretty much what any fan could ask for from a nonfan. Ps please ignore the angry and rude hive it was a great reaction and I'm glad you took the time hopefully you'll tune in for act lll😊 ps again I really would be here for you doing the homecoming and the gift (just to let you know it is a heavily leaning afrobeat album and homecoming is a Coachella performance that you can watch on Netflix that is accompanied by the live album)
im glad u enjoyed it!! great points as well
love this video omg
glad u like it!!
I think it would be interesting to see you reviewing MJ or Beatles whole discography
id love too!!
It may be "too old" for him
the deluxe version of bday has so many added song like welcome to hollywood with jayz or the iconic shakira collab or even world wide woman
i will def have to listen to it
Dude. This video made my night. I applaud you for being honest and giving some really thoughtful commentary on her albums. I still remember where I was when I first saw Bills, Bills, Bills. (I knew even then, she was gonna go solo, lol.) I even enjoyed your tangents. I must disagree with you, Signs is and will always be one of my faves😅. I'm a year older than her. She has consistently challenged herself to just be amazing. When I first listened to Renaissance Act 1, as a black queer man, and by track 3 i immediately realized what she was doing... I love it. Can't wait to see you're reaction to Cowboy Carter. But I will at least throw you a bone. Maybe listen to it again, and maybe you'll see the album in a different way. She did say that it wasn't a country album. It's a Beyonce album. A nice road trip.
im so glad u enjoyed!!!
It took me 3 years to get into Renaissance but after watching the film, that combo is just 10/10!!
When will the tortured poets department video come out?
asap!! im so busy w finals prep at school but im grinding when i can :) hopefully this weekend
Jason: says he hates Cuff It
Also Jason: puts it at no 1 in his Renaissance ranking
Ik you were probably joking but still I found that funny asl 😭
🫢🫣
I feel you already said everything I could say about Beyoncé , so I will just add that I’m looking forward to more content and hopefully we both get more time to enjoy the music.
Bro I don't know, but I listened to Renaissance and Cowboy Carter and I really didn't like those records barring maybe a few songs.
i feel like they r better when listening to them in the context of her discography. when u r more familiar w her sound and her style they def grow on u
Whew! It's wild to hear someone say they weren't alive when D.C. was together... time is crazy. But this is cool! I like this concept of going back thru the discography.
😅 im a child lol but glad u enjoyedd!!
I appreciate Bey's growth over the years too. Lemonade deserved AOTY 🔥. Everything after Lemonade is Beyoncé picking a genre, using it as the underlying theme for her album, and dominating the 💩 out of the sound. She also makes each album her own by mixing in different sounds to put her own spin on the genre. A true visionary and extraordinary vocalist who takes you on a ride.
The Gift: Afrobeat
Renaissance: House
Cowboy Carter: Country
Beyoncé uses her albums to tell a story. It’s like watching a movie. You wouldn’t want to come in 1/4 of the way through, leave and then come back to watch the end or have people to tell you the best part and then go in just to watch that part of the movie. It’s weird, because I didn’t realize that until I watched someone react to her entire Lemonade album recently. Having said all that, let me give you an overview of the movie that is Cowboy Carter:
This whole album is in response to how she was treated at CMA. American Requiem is telling them about themselves. She researched and it took over 5 years for her to develop this album. The album is full of history and reclaiming music that black people/ slaves started, but were kicked out of once it became popular.
Blackbird was written by Paul McCartny to give black women/girls hope during the Civil Rights movement . He saw how they were being treated. That’s why all the singers on the song are black women. The others are four black female country singers.
Let’s just point out that Country radio has an issue with playing black artists so Beyoncé told everyone about her new venture during the Super Bowl then dropped two country songs. The Bey Hive activated and most country stations played her music. But to top it off, her album is presented as it’s own radio station with country legends presenting her music.
This Album was meant to be Act I. This was Beyoncé’s response to how she was treated at the CMA. The requiem funeral procession was trying to let us know that Country Music was rooted and started by blacks. If you look into the history, it started by people putting on black face for minstrel music making fun of the slaves with their banjos. Then people who are credited with starting country, came to black street artists to learn their craft. Once it became big, black people were pushed aside and they started gate keeping the genre.
Same thing happened with rock & roll, jazz, blues, and many of the genres that are considered to have been started in America. Thus, Beyoncé is reclaiming all of the music that we’ve been kicked out of that we helped create. It’s why this album delves into all those genres and ends with her buckin breaking down walls and asking if we can hear her now. Then she says that we are the ones who have to clean ourselves of our father’s sins to end the funeral procession .
Cowboy Carter also touches on the black cowboy, and spaghetti westerns. Or maybe I'm reading into it a bit more. But yep. I love your explanation.
I heard a snippet on Cowboy Carter sent the lyrics to my Elvis loving boyfriend asked hi how Elvis is connected to the Beyoncé album. Told him it was Roy Hamilton on Beyoncé album and he knew that Elvis paid homage to Roy Hamilton and paid off his medical bills. We talked a bit how people say Elvis stole from black music, but that wasntvElvis's intention. Elvis started out just wanting to record a song for his mom. Happened to be at a recording studio that was working with many black artists of that time, that not everyone has heard of still.
I think your comment about how black people got pushed out is very accurate. Elvis wouldn't have gotten airlay with his style of singing which was similar to black artist, Roy Hamilton, if radio stations thought he was black. To determine if an artist was black or white back then, in radio interviews, they would ask them what high school they went to.
So radio airplay not playing black musicians and playing wyt artists instead, contributed greatly to pushing black musicians out of their own chosen genres of music, whatever that was tbh. And it's been black artists pushed out of country music a long time. And female artists get pushed out of several genres, black female artists definitely pushed out of country music.
@@Saintacy You’re not reading into it. There’s a lot more there including Alligator Tears probably being an analogy of the black experience in America. I just didn’t want to bore people too much.
@@bdhu2001 That fully shifts Alliigator Tears in my head and it was already a favorite🤯👍🏾
@@do0re0mi0ski Cool.I’ll post an example for Alligator tears in the main comment, but don’t forget the part where she says “Am I leaving, hell no.”
@@bdhu2001 Cool Cool! It just gives it so many more layers- which, Beyonce, so duh- that makes it seem obvious once you do see it (the dissonance, the lyric choices, the placement on the album), much like racial dynamics in this country.
the visuals and the live shows also have a huge impact on the music imo. Renaissance wasn’t my shit when I first listened to it but…. After the Renaissance tour, I gave it a re-listen and it’s my favorite Beyoncé album now. it beat out SELF TITLED. that’s the impact of her tours and visuals it’s crazy
Haunted is also literally in my top 10 songs EVER between any/all artists
The love for Lemonade and 4 is so real (Lemonade is my fave Beyoncé album too, slay). And yes, HARD agree, Reinassance is a growerrr. I think it's a solid musical journey, but not a strong record, unlike (in ny humble opinion) Cowboy Carter which is both. She killed that shit. Can't wait to see your full video on it! 🐯💜
well said!!
Everything you said around the 25 min mark of how she evolved is exactly what Madonna has done from the early 80s up until the mid 2000s. She kept evolving and was the trendsetter and made some really amazing and iconic music. Not only that, she's an incredible visual artist. I really hope for your sake and ours you do get to do a deep dive of her catalogue/videos/tours. There's no other like her.
The Dangerously In Love disrespect 😭
Hey, white flags blue= justice
GREAT VIDEO!!!!!
yayyy
Wait you were born after 2004?
I feel ancient
do porter robinson. he just released a new single Cheerleader ahead of his upcoming album, and his work is exceptionally great
thanks for the rec!
As a beyhive. Your review well said.
🫡
Just a word to the wise… Beyoncé is black (you know this 😂) as black people, we get placed in categories of R&B and Rap. Cuff It isn’t a R&B song, it’s a pop song!
But...... It won the Grammy for Best R&B Song. Nile Rodgers?.... He , as well as some other people, just hasn't been introduced to the genre. Probably likes some good tracks. But yeah, the way Alien Superstar meshed right into Cuff It, it worked
You should definitely react to Black is King..the visual and the behind the scenes.
Stevie Wonder Tribute with Ed Sheeran and Gary Clark, jr. It's outstanding.
Homecoming...if this doesn't make you want to rethink being in the Beyhive, then nothing will.
Your review was good. You need to dive into her live performances and see her progression as well as the other albums you missed. Lastly, heres the thing about TS v. Beyonce. TS = Harry Potter, her songs are about her & her life with supporting characters. If youre interested in that with the vocals you dragged, thats perfectly fine. BEYONCÉ = Star Wars, her music is about world building, including multiple stories & people, including her, but also outside of herself. This is why you cant binge her Art. You need to dive into the meaning behind the moves and why songs or collabs were chosen for the overarching era &/or movie. Theres so much more for you to learn and discover to truly appreciate the music that'll be studied for decades to come
As a Millennial/OG member of the Beyhive, I would say along with Michael, Janet, Diana Ross, and Whitney Houston also paved the way for Beyonce's success. Mary J Blige would also be a predecessor, as she mixed R&B and hip hop in a way that Beyonce pulled from. She's also clearly been influenced by Tina Turner in her performance style.
Also, while Renaissance does pull from house music, it also draws on disco, funk, afrobeat, hyperpop and 90's era Atlanta bass. Also, as with Cowboy Carter highlighting black country artists, Renaissance also centers and pays homage to black LGBTQ creators and the ballroom subculture, and samples/interpolated classic dance tracks. All of the references are really a great rabbit hole to dive into if you have time
Also, Ariana is clearly a musical daughter of Mariah Carey IMO
You need to do this with Lady Gaga
id love to!
Please listen to the carters album and some of her biggest performances 🙌🙌
i will!
Beyoncé does write and has written for all 27 years of her career.
Beyoncé has performed with or chosen to do tributes for:
1.Michael Jackson - King of Pop - in at least two occasions, once while he was alive.
commended by him constantly in public
2.Prince - King of Funk - collaborated live at The Grammy’s and praised by him in public.
3.Tina Turner - Queen of Rock - TWICE
Chosen as the only living artist to honor her twice while alive including in front of US President to give Tina a Medal of Honor.
4.Aretha Franklin - Queen of Soul - once
5.Stevie Wonder - King of R&B - multiple times
Chosen as the only living artist to honor him while alive.
6.Barbara Streisand - the original Queen Bee and best selling female artist of the 20th century
Chosen to cover her song in the Oscar’s and honor her while alive.
7.Diana Ross - Queen of Motown - multiple times, including on both of their birthdays
Beyoncé also played her in a movie and had to suppress her vocals in order to do so.
8.Mariah Carey - America’s Songbird, Queen of Christmas, and highest billboard 1 hits of any artist on earth - has shared the stage with her and has said that Beyoncé songs are difficult to sing.
9.Celine Dion - Queen of Power Ballads - sang together , was quoted saying that she only attended Grammys to see and hear Beyoncé.
At 24 years old, Beyoncé was chosen to sing ALL nominated songs in the entertainment industry’s most prestigious event, the Oscar’s, including an Opera song.
The list goes on.
She started being chosen for these collaborations the ripe age of 21.
Taylor Swift is damn 34 years old and is still singing teenage breakup songs and hasn’t been chosen by any titans of music, to do anything. They respect her artistry, they do not question her popularity by the popular culture.
But they sure as hell don’t hold the same respect and esteem that they do for Beyoncé because anyone who’s anyone and educated in pop culture, music, and American history that has attended all of the award shows or been alive and aware of the last 20 years knows that Beyoncé has always ruled the stage of and been the favorite of any artist with an ounce of credibility on their bones.
The titans of music, not one genre. They know.
Your cheap opinions are not needed.
Anyone who’s anyone knows.
Only the culturally ignorant, historically ignorant, rabid-fanatic and-racist, deny that reality.
You were so disrespectful throughout this whole review.
how was i disrespectful? i dont think i said a single bad thing abt beyonce lol

thank u
@@jasonpaulkim you welcome
Where’s the cowboy carter reaction
Do Rihanna next!!
id love to!
@@jasonpaulkim yay! Literally cannot wait.
Please do Rihanna 😢
id love tooo!
Not listening to dangerously in love at the gym lol. Also, Beyoncé was not a pageant girl lol
I found it hilarious for a 20yo to keep saying "its old" not understanding that at the time of release, Beyonce brought new sounds that have been copied by the industry as a whole. So many trends started by Beyonce are now industry standards. Artists ecen changed the day that they drop new music because of Bey. Also. Secretly dropping music wandt really much of a thing until her. I think you need a wider perspective of music and the eras if you want to dive back into an artists catalogue. For context, I saw a review from Reaction Twins for MJ Beat It. They took note of what it must have been like to watch videos that were feature films and the (then cool) way the sidewalk lit up wererver MJ stepped.
My cousin was born on 2007 but appreciates & enjoyed RENAISSANCE first (and other Beyonce album) than me, who's born on 2000 💀💀✨ that's when I knew how timeless Beyonce is. Good music is good music. Period. + pls do ur research xoxo ❤️❤️
1:37 okayyyy dr.seuss‼️
🥲
Beyoncé doesn’t hate the girl
IRREPECEABLE IT IS ❤
my favorite genre of reactors, are swifties listening to Bey's new album(s) and giving rave reviews. IKTR
Thats how you've been welcomed to the hive 😂 you will never go back to other artists and yes your reaction on Renaissance on first listen was most of us, it's a grower.
lmao glad to be here
You gona add Destiny’s child albums to your review. That’s part of her legacy after all
Rihanna next please
BEYONCÉ IS THE ONE OF ONE LIKE SHE SAID !...😊
SHE'S THE BEST AND NOBODY CAN SAY OTHERWISE !❤
Great video! I feel like everyone who listens to music and talks about it on the internet should be familiar with Beyoncé.
But it just feels so contradictory of you saying that TS doesn't have that big presence and she could give her song to other artists but you didn't feel that extra as you do listening to her .
It doesn't make sense, sorry
well u can listen to artists for different reasons! sonically taylors presence is not as prominent but she makes up for it through her writing. beyonces appeal in ny opinion comes from her talent and energy :)
@@jasonpaulkim Yes , you are totally right. I just don't know what you could want more from an artist than angelic vocals, spitting words like true rapper, diversity in sound and singing about important topics.
I meet a lot of people from our generation but closer to your age that have been very disrespectful towards Beyoncé. I'm not saying that you were but what could be possibly more to like ?
Disclaimer , are TS lyrics actually good? I have listened to and in word where rap exists everything from pop seems to lack
YOU DONT KNOW KELLY ROWLAND AND MICHELLE WILLIAMS??
🫣
Can you react to espresso by sabrina carpenter next?
ill see if i can fit it in to my schedule
@@jasonpaulkim k ty!
all he said was old old old on albums that came out 20 yrs ago. complete waste of time . hope this helps y’all to not waste your time ❤
Ummm you forgot the destiny fulfilled album and Kelly definitely carried them as well
🫡
That’s because Beyoncé purposely wrote kelly and Michele all of the leads and bridges to showcase them
*sigh* hi jason im back
I feel like you should do Tyler the Creator next, that'd be hella entertaining
yea i will!!!
Omg! I can’t believe you replied thanks so much
