The reason she made a rock album was because they wanted to enter her into the rock n roll hall of fame. In order to do that, she made a rock album to feel justified on being inducted. It’s not that she switched genres. She is still a country artist and will always be one.

Like it says in the vid description, Schneider was being asked specifically about "leftists being in country music." That is what's at issue, not the technical characteristics of the music. The soul of country is intrinsically non-leftist. Leftist country music is like a rich trust fund kid who had the life of riley and not a care in the world, never even worked a job in his life, and is now 25 years old driving a Lamborghini to his "job" as a board "consultant" for his dad's Fortune 500 company deciding to moonlight as a Blues musician: he might be an accomplished guitarist or whatever; but there is no soul in the music.

I have grown up on a lot of the big Country music legends that have built the Country Music genre from the ground up like Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, George Jones, Charlie Pride, Glen Campbell and Tammy Wynette. And to be 100% honest, I do not feel that any of them including Dolly Parton and Barbara Mandrell and Crystal Gayle would have any issues whatsoever about Beyonce crossing over into Country Music. I mean Kid Rock, Jewel, and Darius Rucker have all done it and they all had established music careers in pop and rock music. The Country Music genre is much, much more multicultural and more left winged than people like to admit. What is going on with Beyonce has been happening for decades and it just did not suddenly start with one of the biggest music artists in the world either. Beyonce herself was born and raised in the south just like both of her parents and was exposed to all sorts of music styles growing up including Country music. Just because she built her music career on pop and R&B music, certainly does not mean that she is not country either. Country Music is for all people from all walks of life, no matter if they are right winged or left winged and it does not matter the color of their skin or who they choose to love either for Country Music is for all.

[@plaguedoctor4519]

It's fine if she wants to make country music, I think people are just upset that she claims that there haven't been black people in country music or that they weren't "welcome" claiming it's only a white people genre when artists like Jimmie Allen, Darius Rucker, & even Kane Brown who is biracial. Jimmie Allen is a relatively new artist and he didn't find an issue coming into this genre at all, didn't complain from my understanding but people forget he exists now

Dolly is one savvy business lady, she made bank from Whitney and still is to this day, royalties pay well, I believe the first she put back into the black community which was wonderful. Till this day she still makes millions in royalties from Whitney, she’s very smart Elvis Presley wanted to do the song, but he wanted to buy the rights, Dolly said no, she knew she had a hit, I read somewhere she made 40 million in the year 2017. So yes by all means people should give B a chance, I just know country and so far she hasn’t shown that.

The great, late Ray Charles crosse many genres, Blues, Rock & Roll, Country, etc. WTF is wrong with an artist exploring new genres, mixing them and creating somthing fresh/new ?! If Beyonce was White, I doubt anyone would make any mention, let along get snowflakes like JS triggered.

[@MusicOrLoseItTV]

👎 to genre gatekeeper wannabes. Music genre labels are obsolete in an era of Post Malone, Jelly Roll, and Lil Nas X. I enjoy all types of music. If you only enjoy vanilla that’s fine - yet don’t hate on me for enjoying all the flavors.

Beyoncé never said she was a country singer. Stop hating!

[@patrichardson7481]

This is pure BS ! Beyonce has the right to try her hand at anything she wants ! Bo Duke has not had a hit record in well over 15 years and his career is well behind him as an actor . He is just jealous . Bring it on Beyonce , You sing better than most and have the following and record sales to back it up ! Hope to see you on the Grand Ol Opry soon !

[@earthreign]

Everyone with half of a brain understands that she wants Taylor's spot and it has begun to make a lot of people think that her doing this is a way for her to get the AOTY award that she so desperately wants. I've read where a lot of country music stations have flat out refused to play her "Country" songs and I don't blame them. She's overly entitled and they probably feel like she's trying to block other upcoming Country music artist who are actually putting in the work to be there. I honestly believe she lost a lot of her fans when her husband made that ridiculous racist laced speech in front of the same people who made it possible for her to be the MOST Grammy awarded artist in history with 32 Grammy's. More than Michael Jackson, more than Janet Jackson and more than Prince. pause & think about that... The audacity of some people. 😮 That doesn't make sense, but when you worship the Devil, he'll make sure that you have anything you want, but your soul will be destroyed in the process...her & her husband are living proof of that. These people are NOT Royalty, we just happen to live in a warped society where people put Celebs on pedestals and bow down to them like their God.

Not a Beyonce fan, I just don't like her music. If she wants to do country songs good for her. Music doesn't belong to any one group of people. It is for everyone to create, explore, perform, and enjoy. As for the Duke Brother, well, he seems to have gone off the rails a bit since his wife passed on. Maybe he was always a jerk and we just didn't see it as much? Not sure. But if a no talent washed up tv actor can claim to make country music then a real singer doing the same should have no issues.

I think it’s cool that she would like to try country music. It should not be an exclusive club. People are always blending and mixing sounds to create something unique. I think that’s what artists have to do because many are so creative, they want to find that perfect blend.

[@MondezDurden]

The gatekeeping is so silly. First of all, she's black so she has every right to try every form of American music considering blacks were the ones who created most of it. Secondly, I heard those songs, they are wonderful. That doesn't mean everyone's going to like them. They definitely are different flavor of country but how many times have we heard rap country or pop country rock country by artist no one says a thing. Now it's a problem?

[@patriot-troubadour]

Just like a man isnt a woman...just because he says he is. Ive listened to the 2 songs she released off of the new album. There's nothing Country about either song.

[@JP-lu9ed]

You can say that all you want but it’s only your opinion. Millions of others are enjoying it. And some of us know country music pretty well. There’s a huge range of it.

[@patriot-troubadour]

@JP-lu9ed : Yes, my opinion...just like it's your opinion that it is country. And I think more people would agree with my opinion. Another opinion of mine is that Country Music was sabotaged when artists like Garth Brooks and Shania Twain came along. See, thats the great thing about America...we are free to express our opinions.
