Actually.. Ray charles was the first black artist with a #1 country album on billboard in 1962 😎

[@ljmke5988]

He was and very unwelcomed. The only difference is social media wasn't around back then.

[@Hiphopsessions]

@@ljmke5988 that's not true. His album changed the course of country music. Even though this was during the civil rights era white people LOVED ray and he played many crowds white, black and blue. He never played victim. Album went straight to #1 😎

[@naseerlee7728]

She's the first black female with a number one country album on billboard 200 and in the country music charts plus her album where number one in over 100 countries it's a huge difference

[@Hiphopsessions]

@@naseerlee7728 if you would like to create another goal post for Beyonce then great. But this has been done before and much better.

[@oliviaarteaga4092]

While there other musicians out there also have amazing talent too and they should have a chance to fame not just Beyoncé

[@richardrodriguez9903]

A documentary about Beyonce without Beyonce involved in it? Its like a bunch of people sited on a table talking about her (whether theyre praising her, or criticizing her). She might sue. 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

[@anubisvel]

There would be no grounds to sue. There's nothing illegal about making a documentary like this.

[@lightquest2]

It’s a documentary i don’t think she’s going to sue them over this 🤣

[@Mythpathz]

It's almost like Sony Spiderverse without Spiderman is involved in it - Venom Duology, Morbius, Madam Web

[@AlkalineInsides]

You have absolutely no clue what you’re talking about

[@smilealwaysnatasha3423]

I’m sure she approves of this. She has deals with Netflix and hbo max

[@rosegarden7517]

It's not the People that say that, it's the Media industry that continues ways to divide. The older generation of Black folks we very involved, it was until thuggish Black music was developed that the Black community was drawn to that. My concern is that current hip-hop artist will try to take away the value and meaning of Country old folks music; I'm not talking about Black and White.

[@foresterblack]

If Sam Smith decided to make a "punk song" then the punk world would call him a poser. If Taylor Swift release a gangster rap album, rappers would laugh. This is no different. Beyonce's sounded country for like.. 4 minutes, wearing the hat like it's cosplay. It's just another phase that pop stars go through. Be it putting guitars in the background when pop punk is a thing, or hip hop beats when hiphop is hot. It's skirts over jeans, it's socks and sandals, it's flared trousers. It's just trendy right now. If you want good, genuine country then listen to good, genuine country singers.

[@ccn777LLL]

“Lights! ….. Somebody getting fiiirrrrrreeeed!…. Lights!”

[@quinettesanders7999]

Every time Kyle Coroneis editor of Saving Country Music spoke in the documentary I got aggravated and rolled my eyes. Because BFFR. “Oh it’s not because any of these artists are black! Look at *insert name of an unknown black country singer* performed at the CMAS and there wasn’t any issues. As if he can’t comprehend the difference between a relatively unknown black country singer that has been contained and only trotted out for optics and who has no real power or impact vs one of the biggest entertainers of all time doing the same and who has MUCH more eyes on her and power dipping her toe in that world, how she will be received vs the other. Some on….are you serious. Beyonce is a PROBLEM the others aren’t because they can only do so much. Then to down play Lil Nas X being pulled from the country billboard chart by saying look he won a CMA and was invited to the show. THEN WHY WAS HIS SONG PULLED FROM THE COUNTRY CHART!!???

[@Teddy-tz6zw]

Just watched this. Pretty good. Wish it was longer. But the take away is that the Landscape of country is changing and through Beyoncé they are forced to have these conversations and confront that uncomfortable legacy of theirs.

[@erme817]

we want the visuals!!!

[@chancedex4333]

This isn't country neither is jelly roll or morgan wallen or hardy or luke.bryan or chris stapleton there all just musicians that like the country style vibes and wish there were country people

[@oliviaarteaga4092]

Agree

[@corey5058]

Yet you all embraced them into country with no problem, just say it as it is. People don’t like Beyoncé near country because of her race 💯

Dose she rope cattle for a liveing or own a ranch nope she's a city girl with all the country looks dressed up 😅

[@WildnUnruly]

She’s hot garbage.

[@76dmarie]

No. More ways to be country than that.

[@tudevoid]

Yeah, you don't have to be a rancher or farmer to be a country boy or country girl. Living the rural lifestyle makes you country. But, Beyonce is not any of those. She is 100% urban city dweller.

[@TheGoldenAlchemist86]

BEYONCÉ!?!?!?!?!?

i cant wait to watch it

[@OfficialEdidion]

Super proud of Beyoncè for what she’s doing with the “Cowboy Carter” album/era. The goal of every artist and musician is to make music that shifts something, touches the people and leaves a lasting impact.

[@user-jq2dz7xj5i]

She's not country, it's called being a culture vulture

[@Shonhunt]

Born and raised here in Nashville TN I first saw her here in Nashville in concert October 2nd 2016 her rescheduled date for the formation world tour! It was the best one worth the wait! She is so beautiful in person and inside! Rumors about her fuc em !

[@chaseviking5096]

Where one is born doesn't mean a thing kid. Being born in the south doesn't make one country. That woke c u next Tuesday was raised in the city her entire life and quickly got a silver spoon in her mouth. She's not country nor ever will be.

Allen Jackson, Trace Adkins, Toby Keith, Hank Williams Jr, and Hank Williams Sr just to add to it.

She has tried RnB, Pop, Rap, Country next we wait for her Rock album🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️...She want to be jack of all trades instead of a master of one!!!

[@tremblind]

Beyonce goes pop-punk

[@TGreen89]

Maybe she just wants to sing and not be confined to one genre.

[@Okaminitro777]

She just loves music. She's an artist. It's as simple that.

[@montrellhenderson8036]

She’s won Grammys in each genre you named though. Dance/Electronic as well. And she’ll win more for Cowboy Carter 😘 STAY MAD!!! 🤡

[@user-lh9ej3pl1f]

Beyonce was the Greatest!! I'm disappointed in her cowboy Carter album... that's Not COUNTRY that's Hate and her song that plays the raider now is a message it's sad people can't read between the lines ... she literally tried to do a seance on country I have never even heard her try to make a country album she was talking about how they don't think that she could do country or what not Beyonce could do anything she could see any song that she wants gospel country hip hop it's whatever she wants she doesn't have to have one genre but she has made a bad impression on herself with this Cowboy Carter album this is not a country album she says this is a Beyoncé album what it is is it it's a hatred album if she wants to make country fine but don't bring no hatred into country music

[@poohbear9086]

Punctuation is your friend

[@tiannawataah]

we love to see it. Beyoncé belongs in country. She's genre-bending.

[@tanakinskywalker7089]

No she doesn’t and it’s not country music. The music has been around before her and will be around after her. She’s out of place and it’s very disrespectful to the culture of country music. Imagine if a white person did this to rap…

[@user-jq2dz7xj5i]

She's not country😂😂😂 culture vultures , that's like Celine Deon making a rap album😂😂😂

[@raymondcantrell5868]

​@@user-jq2dz7xj5ithat's a dumb statement she could do country if she knew how but from what I've heard she doesn't she has the voice and she can tell a story but she's an industry plant so all she's gonna tell is the race card story in country music

[@oliviaarteaga4092]

😂

[@chaseviking5096]

No she doesn't. That woke c u next Tuesday isn't country and never will be.

[@corey5058]

Cowboy Carter is every genre in one, Beyoncé constantly out does herself and never does the same album. She is the total package and every person in these comments bringing up another artist proves that point, she is the standard 💯

[@dustonoffins7890]

Wrong. She is an imposter. She should stick with what she knows.

[@chaseviking5096]

She hasn't outdone herself. The woke c u next Tuesday is making a joke of herself thinking she's country. She's not and never will be.

[@SubFlow22]

Country lol. Hardly.

[@WildnUnruly]

Not even remotely. Vomit.

[@chaseviking5096]

Hardly? That's giving way too much credit. That woke c u next Tuesday isn't country nor ever will be.

After she made her own. Did you not live through the 1990s or early 2000s? Some people are marrying broke. Go after them.

🙄 bandwagoning and race baiting

[@jusletursoulglobaby]

interesting. how is talking about the response to an album and likely discussing the origins of a genre race baiting? you cant be suggesting that the mere mention of blackness is race baiting bc that is illogical. want to explain a bit?

[@07Flash11MRC]

How exactly is a black woman as a main character in her own documentary race-baiting?

[@user-jq2dz7xj5i]

​@@jusletursoulglobabya woman who's not country making a country album, that's like Celine from making a rap album

[@jusletursoulglobaby]

@@user-jq2dz7xj5i who said she's not? she's from TX, don't you think growing up she was inundated with country? If Celine, who is an artist, made a album outside of pop, AND? Artists dabble into genres. Elvis dabbled in what genre? Gospel artists go POP and vice versa. You don't seem to know what you're talking about.

[@user-jq2dz7xj5i]

@@jusletursoulglobaby she's never been country nor was she raised country, hence why she's never done country music.

[@WildnUnruly]

Never liked her. Never will. She’s saturated the market doing her usual hot garbage and now wants country fan and salt of the earth peoples money. Won’t get a red cent from me or anyone I know. Country? Not even close.

[@tydiedyung3997]

Half of the people in this doc don’t even make country music lmao

[@chaseviking5096]

Because like her they aren't country

[@76dmarie]

Like? All the black people playing guitars? Not country? Why? Because they weren't white?

More woke, thank's

Go away and stay away from.

[@gusmendez2564]

lets be real it's pop not country...

[@stop-.-2517]

When you continue to lose in your own category so you move to a different category by adding a little guitar and call it country. Yup. That's def how you earn respect in a new house. Beyonce be like "Beer beer, truck truck, something about Texas. Yeehaw, I'm country" 😂

[@76dmarie]

Lose what? Did you not hear of "Lemonade?" "Formation?" Really?!

[@youropinionsareshitandsoar1954]

There's so many washed up celebrities trying to make a comeback first Lopez trying to tell the worst love story ever now Beyonce wants to be a country singer? These people need to get over themselves
