Song Used: Dream Land
I posted a follow-up video with my new review of Renaissance the other day! Although this first reaction is still valid, my feelings on the album have changed dramatically.
Did you end up going to the Tour? Beyonce Live is different.
Beyoncé really said “this album is for the GAYS!” The ball room beats are so beautiful.
I'm soooooo glad ball room is getting mainstream attention!!!!!!!!! wheeeewww
This album is an homage to Black queer artists and it’s PERFECT!!!!
Yes! I love how she included TS Madison on Cozy and then listed the colors of the pride flag in her lyrics. She really is paying respect to her uncle and the queer fans who have been by her.
Yes! I’m so glad you know that. It’s conceptual, glam, futuristic, drag, and everything else thrown in. It’s an amazing album start to finish. A tribute to her gay uncle.
PERIODT
And this 52 yr old queer white boy is Thankfull!!!
THIS ALBUM HAS GROWN ON ME SOOOO MUCH 💃🏻 BUT DANG I THOUGHT I HATED IT FOR A MINUTE 😭😭😭
We love GROWTH 😂
what’s your current ranking now?
@@saintjontel the ranking is recent! i did it today. although there are certain songs i’ve listened to more than others so it could always evolve further
@@BethThereseReacts girl how could you do thique like that its my fav song 😭😭
You and me both girl!! I think I'm on drugs now coz why has it been on infinite loop since Friday evening 😭❤️🔥
Love your honesty in this review. I didn’t see this as Beyoncé being angry at all. I saw this album as a uplifting, unapologetic, confident self loving album especially for the Black LGBTQ communities who experience so much social injustice and judgement. 💫
ohh gotcha, i didn’t know the context of her speaking to those communities! 💖
The first listen is your brain computing the new sound. Every listen after that gets better and better. Also, your editing is hilarious 😂
right?! thank you so much!
this album from beyoncé is so unorthodox compared to anything she’s done in the past, i just love how she’s venturing off into new territory sonically. it’s definitely a bop!
The “dark skin light skin…I’m black” she’s talking about the colorism that she’s always faced for being very light skinned and privileged. She’s worked hard for years now to take back her black heritage because for so long she made “white pop music.” SNL even had a skit about it for when she released Formation the world ended because it was the day “Beyonce became black.” Lol
Freaking love this album. The more times you listen to it the more you fall in love. You should go sit in the car and play (turn up the volume) this album.... an experience.... omg
yes it’s a grower! every time i listen it gets better
You have to properly listen. Listening on a laptop or through a phone is just RUDE!
@@sandi1410Omg !! I totally agree.. you miss so much!!!!!!!!!
@@sandi1410 I tried to film with my headphones, but couldn’t figure it out in time and didn’t want to have to scrap the footage
@@sandi1410 🤣 facts
As someone who also first listened on a speaker, let me just say it’s EVEN BETTER with headphones… this album is so.freaking.good! 💀
i’ve heard it hits different with headphones! i actually almost filmed with headphones but couldn’t figure it out and didn’t want to risk having to scrap the reaction lol
I loved this album from bottom to top. The complicity of this album is so beyond me, and the way all of these songs sound so different yet so coherent it blows my mind 😭😭😭
I LAUGHED so much throughout this🤣🤣.
Listen, I’m a Beyoncé fan but I get it completely. This was VERY experimental, and very different, not only from her last albums but.. in general 😂.
Thank you for your honesty! ❤
💖💖💖💖💖
I’m so glad you uploaded this despite not loving it initially. It also shows the importance of Beyoncé-THE artist of our generation-highlighting black, queer culture sounds when she knew so many ears would be listening in on her comeback and would probably dislike a lot of aspects of the songs initially. Glad it’s grown on you because this is such a stunning and important dance album
This album is also very deeply rooted in Black Church and Black LGBTQ ballroom culture so it’s not surprising it didn’t resonate with you on first listen.
Black church? No it isn’t it’s mainly Ballroom and house music.
If you don’t already understand the parallels between the Black church & Black ballroom then that’s truly not something you’ll begin to comprehend by going back and forth in CZcams comments lmao. Be well.
@@naomiwright2571 period
@@naomiwright2571 Teach!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
This!
Been waiting on this all day! SO excited to see your reaction!
I think if you've listened to The Gift before it makes this album easier to listen to. But it also has a lot of influence from queer black culture and ballroom, so if you don't have contact with these sounds it also makes it harder to appreciate the awesomeness of this album on the first listen. For me it's the best Beyoncé album, it's the most interesting sonically and cohesive at the same time. Hugs from Brasil!
💖
I feel like a lot the disconnect between you and this album on first listen is due to a culture difference. I think this was an album for black queer ppl or at least anyone with a decent understanding of the chaos that is ballroom, dance, house, etc. Some moments where you cringed a little or I felt you get tense I was vibing so hard.
yes it probably is 💖💖💖 i do enjoy the album a lot more now
Ever since 2003, when she became a solo artist, I was hoping for her to release a dance-oriented album and now that she released this album, I couldn't be happier, it's an amazing piece of art.
Also, her six studio albums that she has released as a solo artist have reached number one on the Billboard 200 and considering how good this album is, I can guarantee that this is going to be her seventh number one album.
It’s projected to be number one by next week I’m sure
I cannot stop playing this!!!! AOTY for me. Keep listening it gets richer, you get to connect the dots. There is so much history and love in this.
Thank you Beth, your reactions are gold . Reminds me how much (very much) I love this album
thank you kindly 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
OMG yasss Beth, i've been waiting for you to react.
i love your honesty! this reaction was so hilarious to me after watching all your bey videos! i persoanlly love the album!
thank you💖💖💖
I was WAITING FOR UR REACTION !!! Thank u for uploading it so FAST ! 😩💗
thank you for watching 🥰🐝💃🏻
Wish you’d listen with headphones, this album sounds way better with the details you can’t always hear on speakers :(
This album was SO weird uppon first glance, but the second time i heard it it was a completly different experience, i'm obsessed about renaissance since it was released, it's just too good!
This album def requires more listens as literally every song has soooo much crazy production and lyrics 💀 but imo it’s one of her best projects and def a aoty contender fs considering music has been kinda weak this year overall
weak? girl what are listening to 😭😭
@@Sza4L I mainly listen to mainstream big artists and they haven’t been releasing anything this year, but at least bey came and saved this year and blackpink is finally coming back too 😌 2020 was the last good year of music imo 2021 and this year have been weak til now
That firrrrrstt line. Spot on. You can tell EVERY dong has a ton of writers.
@@angelic5461 if you want some really good recommendations you should listen to superache by conan gray or emails I cant send by sabrina carpenter (if you havent already). They're more on the mainstream side and theyre my top albums of the year as well
@@Sza4L I’ll give ‘em a listen 😁
girl you are too funny. i am cracking up so bad
Love it, as always. You really did time the review of previous albums AMAZINGLY
Wait, did you know?🤔🤭😉
@@beygkc8256 haha right?! complete coincidence the way it worked out but i’m so glad it worked out that way!!!
I've never been so excited for a reaction in my life
Love Beth! She must be protected at all cost❤️ such a pure soul.
thank youuu lol
It’s more empowerment than bitterness! It’s kinda hard to understand without knowing the context of ballroom culture to begin with! I appreciate your honesty in this video though! I implore you to look up some history ballroom culture to gain a little insight!!! ❤️
that makes sense! i don’t have any background with that so no wonder i wasn’t getting the connection lol thank you, appreciate your kind comment 💖
Love your honest review and cant wait to watch the update.
Hope you got Renaissance world tour tickets 😘
I'm so happy i found your channel, you are such a pure soul & i love your reactions ✨️✨️✨️
thank you stefan 🥺🥰
Yess love your reactions! We waiting for The Gift album! and also maybe Everything is Love, with Jay-Z. Renaissance is a bop, I honestly agree that it takes a time to process, its a really good dense album
I WAS WAITING FOR YOUR REACTION QUEEN
Been watching you for a while and just realized I wasn’t subscribed yet 😭 but that’s fixed now lmao. This album has had to grow on me, but Summer Renaissance is that girl 👏🏼
The "scar" she loves in "Cozy" is a reference to her surgery for the birth of the twins, which was by a caesarean.
The name of the album is a reference to the renaissance of the music, hapiness and enjoying after pandemy's lockdown
this is the thing about this album: imagine all these songs sooooo loud in a club, and you dancing til your booty fall out of your body. people are overthinking this album too much. Beyoncé herself has said that it's an album for you to have fun, and not think too much about it. so folks, you don't have to look for meaning where there's nothing so deep. just press play, feel yourself and have funnnn 😎😍
love the reaction, editing and honesty ❤❤🐝🐝
thank youuu🐝🐝🐝
I watched a ton of reviews on this album and you are the best at it! You gave me so much life. 💖💖💖💖
thank you so much i appreciate this comment more than you know 🥺💖
Been waiting a whileeee for this album
Soooooooo excited for this video, by that I mean THIS edition, out of the reactors on CZcams! 🤍🖤🤍🖤
thank you so much 💖💖💖💖
Been waiting for thi 🤒
Your reaction was right on point with your "good girl" aura.😳😂 I had a similar reaction to some of the tracks, but I knew the album was going to be pretty explicit. Glad it's grown on you. I've appreciated it more with each listen as well. Great reaction🌹❤️
lolol basically. thank you so much
estava ansiosa por esse react, Renaissance álbum do ano ❤️🇧🇷
this video was such worth the entire watch
Thank you so much i really really appreciate that ❤️❤️❤️
Love how she blended her rap singing with Dance music and went very heavy with more Rapping than her usual rap singing
beyonce always takes risks in her art and i applause her & the writers/produces for that. my favorite tracks are def sofa, virgo groove, move, pure/honey, summer renaissance! also, react to tinashe's 333 its awesome
Summer Renaissance samples a disco song from the late 70s by Donna Summer called “I Feel Love”, hence why there is Summer in the title. I’d recommend you check it out since you mentioned you really like the beat 🥰 enjoy your reaction overall!
This album is house, dance, disco, and black (queer) ball music/culture all in one album! Think her album B'day, just on a really good high 70's/80's style. 😉
this album is so different in all the right ways. it always amazes me how all do beyoncé’s albums are different yet amazing in their own right, she’s just THAT GIRLLL!
FACTS. even if not everyone likes this album (it grew on me, but not on everyone) she DID THATTT
This album is DEFINITELY a grower. I can't wait for the visuals it's definitely going to change our perspective on the album!!! 😍
I love all up in your mind and break my soul can’t wait to see your Glory reaction
No problem, I needed more time with the album too... It's definitely a MASTERPIECE that needs to be listened one by one. Paying attention to every sound and lyrics.
The editing of this reaction is giving gold🏅. The Twilight meme 😂😅😂😅
THIS ALBUM IS A MASTERPIECE! ❤️
I watched your Surrender reaction and realized on this one I wasn’t subscribed so I am now! Keep it up you seem more confident with each video
thank you so much! i really appreciate that :)
Virgo’s Groove was my fav from the album. Even though I’m a Sagittarius ♐️ but she’s really talking to me 🤣
right?! it’s SOOO good
Me too I’m a Sagittarius ♐️ I guess the apple doesn’t fall to far from the tree because Jay-Z loves it too🤣🤣💯💯😂😂😂
You mean Aries’s Groove!?! 😌
It's a fact that the verse on “Alien superstar” which says “I’m too sexy for this world”, sounds similar to “I’m too sexy”. Btw, you’ll notice more similarities between other popular songs & the next tracks from the album by the time you hear them all, and that’s because the main purpose of it is sampling iconic songs and make them sound fresh, so basicly that’s why the album is called “Renaissance”.
I also consider that the name itself of the album has several meanings, obviously related to “renaissance” which is nothing but a synonym of rebirth, if we take some time to think about it.
Loved your reaction! (as always) :)
beth you never disappoint
thank you 🥺💖
I knew instantly this album was some of her best work. I know everyone has different taste, but WOW was I stunned from the very start. I love this woman so much. Great Reaction!
for me it was a grower! i really do like most of the songs now, but appreciate your respectful comment 💖
Oh my God, Beth!!! I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE!!!!!! your channel!!!! I have such a good time watching your reactions, you're so funny and expressive, I just enjoy you! Please, more Britney!!! And would you do some Kylie Minogue reactions? Anything from Impossible Princess (1997) on. Keep up the great job, you are a piece of sunshine! Oh, by the way... I'm watching from Chile. You've gotten this far.
thank you so much💖💖💖 more britney is coming!
you’re gonna love her vocals on this
I was completely confused and SHOOK when i first heard this and as a huge beyoncé fan i was kinda worried that i wasn’t instantly in love. It probably took me 5 whole album listens to understand what is going on and to figure out what i like. But i’m happy to say i actually LOVE this album and it is so ‘Unique’ and ahead of it’s time. Beyoncé will never stop creating music that hasn’t been done before and that is so authentic💜 Also, i loved watching all your beyoncé album reviews!
As a result of this awesome album, Beyonce has become the first female in music history to have SEVEN consecutive #1 albums in a row: she is #1 on Billboards 200. Her single "Break my soul is #1 on Hot 100 and Dance charts. This is how you show haters they cannot steal your shine. Kudos to Beyonce. Great vid
I was waiting for you honey
I love you!!!💖 This is your worst reaction to Date for a Bey album. 🤣🤣🤣💔 I knew its not your sound from the start. This is AOTY MATERIAL.❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
i just think that you are my favorite « reactions creator » because i love so much your smile, your positivity and the fact that you make me laugh a lot like you’re so funny and i love that !!! your videos are my comfort videos and i’m so happy that you went through the discography of my four fav artists of all time (bey - gaga - marina - lana) i’m so grateful !!! i was watching your reactions when i felt bad and really depressed and you just made me forget about my own mental issues and made enjoy the moment and happy to see someone vibing on albums that litteraly saved my life.
anyway, thank you so much to you, your videos and your presence matters for people like me, please never stop🤍✨ and F*CKING ENJOY THE MUSIC !!!!!!!!!!!!
omg thank you 🥺💖 this comment made me feel better from my own anxiety so in a way, you brought comfort to someone who’s brought you comfort and i thank you for that 💃🏻
Love your personality and your chanel!❤️
thank you so much!
I feel you, I hate it at first sight, but I grew to love it, I'm not American, so I couldn't get it at first, but this work is spectacular.
I've been watching your Beyonce reviews since you started and you've grown so much as a content creator! I can't get mad at you not really knowing how to feel after the first few listens, it's definitely a weird ass album from Beyonce! And I think that's the reason I like it so much, I wasn't expecting her to ever do something like this in her career EVER! I think it's really cool when an artist takes a huge risk like this. This album is a love letter to Black Queer culture, and certainly an album for many DJ's to have fun with on the dancefloor! Keep up the amazing work on your vids, can't wait for you to react to Renaissance pt.2 (whenever that's released lol)
thank you so much I really appreciate that!! and yeah I'm always for artists taking risks even if it takes a minute to digest. I think it's so important
I love your reaction! And never be afraid to be honest! People are here for your opinion and we love you ❤ And this is coming from a Beyhive member.
thank you💖💖💖💖💖
19:00. the term is called “rap-singing”. it’s basically Beyoncé’s genre as she’s the only artist that does it because it generally takes a lot of vocal agility to riff and run with your voice due to the fast paced raps. she’s been doing it since the 90’s.
Omggg you already listened to Glory, I liveee
Im a bigg Beyoncé fan, I love almost everything shes done, and I felt the same listening to Renaissance, its too much but it definitely is a grower. Cuff It, Thique, Plastic off the Sofa and Pure/Honey are fireeee
💯💯💯
I really liked how you kept it respectful even though this wasn't your favorite album in the world. It really goes to show how amazing of a person you are for being able to do so. For me, I really liked the album and my favorites were Church Girl, Plastic Off the Sofa, Virgos Groove, and America Has a Problem. I really enjoy dance music and I liked that she still is experimenting and stepping outside of the box even 25+ years after.The album is also heavily inspired by ballroom culture and 80s/90s which is why it sounds so familiar yet different.
thank you so much! i really enjoy the album now as well! just took a minute, and i still have a few songs that aren’t for me
@@BethThereseReacts ah that makes sense! I’ve been hearing that a lot that it takes a few listens. Honestly same for me too I’ve liked more songs more now because I listened again and again.
Yess, been jamming to this album nonstop, but that first listen had me dizzy lol
righttttt
i knew you were going to LIVE for virgo's groove, especially the last section where she does acrobatics with her voice
🥰
I respect your honesty on songs that you didn’t like because it’s your first listen. The more you listen to this album, it gets better and starts to grow on you!
thank you so much! it definitely has grown on me
First of all; I love your reactions. They're usually fun and super honest. I understand your reaction, especially since I think you're more comfortable with pop music.
The album is not aggressive but kinda saucy and feel-good. I don't think Beyoncé is bitter or something. It's an homage to black music and ballroom culture. The music is also super experimental as you said with a lot of tracks being unstructured. I guess Renaissance is the kind of album you have to listen to several times to appreciate it.
BTW I'm a Beyoncé fan and I had a similar reaction as you at my first listen.
thank you 💖 glad i wasn’t alone in my initial reaction lol
Lmao this is so wholesome 😭 Poor Beth was out here glitching trying to process what was going on and I get it. It’s a lot of lyrics, sounds and genres just ganging up on us whew. It takes time for it all to click together lol
thanku for understanding lol😭
😭😭😭
Just find your channel and already gonna go binge your vids
🤗🤗🤗 Amazing I'm obsessed with your energy ✨✨✨
Was wondering if you'd done or would do JoJo or Tinashe or Ella Mai yet?
thank you so much i really appreciate that 😊 i don’t have time at the moment but at some point i’d be down! 💖
@@BethThereseReacts ✨Amazing✨
Love the picture in the back..black and white with pink flowers. Sorry, I wrote this b4 I watched your reaction. But thumbs up
I love that you read the comments and like them learning a bit more about the album after reacting to it. Most of them are not your cup of tea, but you can expect anything from Bey's new albums. we never know.
thank you💕
Soo, I totally understand this as a first reaction. This is easily Beyoncé’s most experimental and dense album, and the one that’s taken the most listens to truly click.
Mostly because the song structure is so complex and switches abruptly. But by the 3rd listen through, it was already in contention for my favorite Beyoncé album, or at least most sonically innovative.
This was sort of a love letter to her gay fans. She is specifically pulling from elements of black queer culture and ballroom culture, including house music and jersey/Baltimore club music. That’s why there is a lot of rap/chanting, as there tends to be in those genres, and similar to a lot of what Lady Gaga does. That’s also why this album is soo…”sexually liberated?” Lol. The clean version may be an easier listen if that stuff distracts you.
I know there’s a chance the sound just won’t be for you, but I hope you’ll give it a few more rotations. Either way, enjoyed the video, and your editing as always!
totally agree - it’s one of her most sonically innovative and it’s grown on me so much! i really enjoy most of the songs now. i had no idea she was doing a love letter to gay fans but that’s amazing!!💖
@@nickvnicholas7857 1) they make up a big part of her fan base 2) it is a love letter to her queer uncle who passed away and 3) maybe she just wants to show love to a community that is constantly under attack
@@nickvnicholas7857 her Late uncle Jonny was Gay and the whole Album is dedicated to the ballroom culture
I appreciate your reaction, even in those songs that you couldn’t get an opinion hahaha I felt the same bout that album
Church Girl is basically about a girl that loves the lord but also has a life outside the church. Who doesn’t want to be judged for being herself.
I love your reaction. Cuz you reacted the way most people have, they got whiplash listening to it lol
lolol
The editing is so funny!! hahaha
I listened to the album 3 times because it’s a plate fulllll. It’s perfection!
It’s like watching ‘The Wiz’ (film) & ‘Pose’ (TV show) at the same time .
It’s so gay, urban, juicy, mysterious, and adventurous.
Its not a bitterness, it’s a fierceness ..
To understand this album I recommend listening to Prince, Janelle Monae, Rihanna’s “Unapologetic” album, & Kelis’ discography
I love it a lot but it’s not for everyone 😊 but I loved the honesty. I listened to this all morning when I was cleaning. who knows maybe it’s a grower for you lol (edit: just saw the pinned comment lol). There’s 2 more albums coming for this project so maybe that’ll be more your vibe.
not me clicking on this immediately 😭 I hope u enjoy the album
it had to grow on me but i like most of the songs now lmao😭😭😭
I was excited but when you mentioned GLORY gurl-
The first time i was like what am i listening to. Now after listening to it for the 400th time lmao, it’s laced with cr@ck 😭 cuz omg this album is GOLD! It actually hit me on the second listen. Now, it’s stuck playing on my playlist.
This truly is album of the year for me…
Maybe dance/house music isnt that much for you, idk. It wasn’t for me as well, but before i listened to this album i tried to not expect anything and to just try to enjoy it for what it is without overthinking it knowing that dance music isn’t really my cup of tea, but surprisingly it worked for me and i really enjoyed and loved it so much on my first listen. Good reaction tho, thank you for being honest and true 😊❤
How do you feel about the album 3 months later? i was going to ask you if you could do a 3 month update for this album. But a comment reply would be quicker lmao
This is the beyonce I was waiting for
Lol you had me so weak n yea despite whether u like it or not ur reaction was enjoyable. We can’t like everything artists do n that’s ok that’s what make us human MISS HONEY
thank you 💕 yeah it’s grown on me a lot but didn’t think i liked it much at first lol
This is my first time watching you. 😍
💖
Poor baby struggling listening the first time 🤣 I completely get it. It’s so different from other Beyoncé albums and it takes more than one listen to get it. By the 3rd listen I LOVED this album so much.
thank you for understanding lol 😭 literally second listen i was like wait this is good-
lmao
