That song was just part of the entire Lemonade project & it's PHENOMENAL! You gotta react to the whole Lemonade visual ! It was a game changer & it's extremely powerful ❤

[@oldladybangers]

I'll check it out!

Before this Beyoncé hadn't addressed the illuminati rumours nor any cultural references in her songs. She also didn't address any of the police brutality stuff. She expressed it all and more in this video. Was so cool

[@gemgirl2000]

Your emotional response to this was genuine. I felt that. As a Black woman, it was so amazing to see and hear the video. It was a celebration of our culture. It was political. It was a call to action in a sense. Honestly I think that Lemonade was her best visual. Until she decides to bless us with Renaissance visuals. 🤣🤣

[@oldladybangers]

Right?!?! I have confidence that she can top herself! (Although, I definitely need to see more of the Lemonade album.)

[@Ghostintheeshell]

​@GL Fer She's a black woman. She relates to the culture expressed in the video. Nothing wrong with it.

[@ilovesweets9720]

​@GL Fer people like you who get uncomfortable at the very mention of race need to be studied.

AS A BLACK WOMAN!!

[@antoinettekminor]

You get it! This is how Beyonce makes us feel. The songs are great but the intricacies and messages between the line is so empowering and meaningful.

[@mykeyonce]

this was a beautiful reaction ❤️ Beyoncé is a brave artist. for her to be as big of a celebrity as she is and not be afraid to speak up about issues is so commendable. she performed this song for the first time at the 2016 Super bowl ONE day after releasing it, and she had the dancers dress as the Black Panthers…very brave to be that political at such a huge event! she got a lot of backlash from racists for it, it was crazy! but i’m glad she never let that stop her from speaking up, she still does til this day!

[@oldladybangers]

Oh, awesome, I'll have to check out that video of the superbowl performance. (I think I'm going to have to do another Beyoncé week soon!)

[@sagsrp3804]

@@oldladybangers yesss you should definitely check that superbowl halftime show out. its the one with Bruno mars. superbowl 50

[@rennan8408]

I’m so glad you actually listened to her message. I think that most people tend to just listen to the song and not experience the message. that’s why I LOVE beyonce. She always has an intention with her music. It always has a story. I’d love too see your reaction to the Lemonade film she did or Black is king. You got a new subscriber here! That actually made me emotional seeing that you also saw the impact of the message!!

[@oldladybangers]

Thank you so much!

[@jayyrald]

Not this reaction making me emotional! This and what she did with the rest of Lemonade was just incredible. Hope you'll dive more into it!

[@oldladybangers]

Definitely!

[@jasonsmith189]

Warms my heart to see people open their hearts and minds to something they wouldn’t otherwise experience. Beyoncé has a lot to say - not only in her music, but a lot of the time specifically in her visuals - and I think you caught a glimpse of it. Thank you for sharing your genuine, emotional reaction to that. Bey can be fun, she can be pop, she can be dancey, but too often her narrative is discredited. I’m glad you got to live in it for a moment. :) I can see many have already suggested it, but I’d recommend watching the Lemonade film. It’s quite a ride. :)

[@jadebadgal2384]

You're so mother for this

[@oldladybangers]

Is that a compliment? :)

[@jadebadgal2384]

@Old Lady Bangers yes!!! Calling someone mother is like the highest compliment.

[@skepticalmaiden]

The visual album I love from Beyoncé is her Black is King album ( Lion King / Disney) . It’s a must watch. Beautiful.

[@Bke14151]

You are literally SO ME !!! Her art makes me emotional all the time

[@eveningstar231]

Beyonce is amazing and Lemonade as a whole is my fave Beyonce album ,it was so therapeutic for me and I’ve listened to it countless times lol

[@melissawatkins7332]

FIrst time I saw Formation I watched it about 100 times in a row and I became a bey fan.

[@ElLaMonte]

Love this genuine reaction. I think this is why Beyoncé does what she does. 💛

[@YoungandKinky]

Loved your reaction! Thanks for actually listening and seeing the message of the song ❤

[@oldladybangers]

Thank you! Such an amazing video to react to.

[@ofclshn]

Definitely recommend reacting to the entire Lemonade film. This song and video is just part of a much bigger story

[@latishajarman5069]

As a Beyoncé fan I appreciate ur tears❤ This is an evolved Beyoncé but the evolution for me happens in that self titled album “smash into U” and “satellite”

[@keepingitcrazy8417]

Those songs are from I am Sasha fierce-Album

[@calefaccionado]

Not me crying with you haha Beautiful reaction, I hope your channel grows a lot ❤️

[@oldladybangers]

Thank you so much!!

[@vmarie9535]

Thanks for reacting to Beyoncé's music. To understand her talent best you should look at her Coachella performance. She was the first black female to headline and this song, Formation, was artfully arranged. People try to dismiss Beyoncé, but they fail to understand that performing live is what separates a good artist from a legendary artist. Michael Jackson vs Beyoncé as the GOAT is a legit question. The only name who may be added to this list is a young Korean man named Jungkook. These three have mastered the art of performance. There are better technical singers, but no greater live performers/vocalist.

[@oldladybangers]

Yes, lots of people have recommended the Coachella performance! I'll do that for sure when I do the next Beyoncé week soon.

[@tiamonique]

That last scene, drowning, like what the people in New Orleans (her mother’s place of birth) during hurricane Katrina 😢

[@toniolamar5860]

Awww you brought me to tears watching your reaction. I love how you appreciated what the meaning of the song is. I have been a Beyoncé since 1998. Thanks for your reaction videos on her. You definitely earned a subscriber in me!

[@oldladybangers]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it. It's an incredible song and video.

[@toniolamar5860]

Indeed!

[@m3rrys0ngstr3ss]

What I always liked about this video is there's this touch of Southern Gothic to it - it's a celebration of Black culture, but there's always this undercurrent of the crises that have rocked the South in the last 20 years. I get that feeling with the "Sorry" video too.

[@oldladybangers]

Yes, it's a bit like Childish Gambino's This Is America. You have to keep watching it to see everything in it. And then think hard about the different interpretations and ideas that could come out of it. It's so so good.

[@Birdiealway]

[@JAMEIALANAY]

I love your reaction. This is by far my favorite Beyoncé song and video. ❤

[@oldladybangers]

Also recommended watching the entire Lemonade visual album, but especially Black is King. Black is King is *ART* and severely underrated. Even by the fandom.

[@oldladybangers]

Yes, several people have suggested I do the whole album. I'll see if I can figure out how to do it on here.

[@elijahbeachum1202]

The thing that’s separates Beyoncé with the other artists she stands for black community and is not afraid to step outside of her lane

[@ericlisventure2646]

[@odonvargas9527]

I was like waiting for the crying and thinking, where is the crying and when the song was over and she pretty much didn't have words and started crying. I was crying too. And this song will never make me cry. It feels so empowered to me that I just feel like a bad B. But this reaction make me cry.

[@PrismaticOmens]

I highly highly highly recommend watching Beyonce's 2017 Grammy performance she was pregnant with twins when she did it and sounds unbelievable

After watching the full Lemonade visual album, I would suggest watching Solange's When I Get Home visual album. It has a lot of strong themes in it as well.

Lots of people have requested that! I'll have to see if I can make it work.

[@planetherforever]

i treasure this video. it and the whole visual album for lemonade and black is king will make you cry too. IMO this video is a discussion about gossip, lies, sexism, black girl magic, confidence, black pride & empowerment, but also the embedded effects of slavery and how it translates to our everyday lives in present day.

[@oldladybangers]

That's a great way to say it! It is a video to be treasured.

[@MCMNasty2]

Specificity is exactly the right word. She has something to say with this and with Lemonade. She was no longer the Beyoncé that people thought of when they thought Beyoncé, ya know? She came into her own finally.

[@oldladybangers]

Definitely. I love this deeper stuff!

[@monique4879]

Lemonade is such an iconic album and she just proves time and time again that she isn't overrated, she's star rated. Please listen to Steven Wilson - Pariah ft Ninet Tayeb ... but prepare the tissues.

[@roholmstrom]

I'm crying too ❤ Cried even more the first time I heard 'Brown Skin Girl', still do every time I hear it ❤ Recommend reacting to Loreen 'Euphoria' and her latest 'Tattoo'. With Eurovision coming up it should get plenty of views to your wonderful channel ❤

im sure you’re getting tons of beyonce recs but imo you should totally react to her song i care!!! maybe even a live version. extremely powerful

Beyonce's Lion King movie is also phenomenal. You might have a hard picking your favorite visual though.

[@anthonyhosea8780]

Thank u sooo much for reviewing this song & visual. When u cried, I cried. Because this song means so much to so many of us. A call of action, if u will. When u find the time, u should watch the entire Lemonade visual album. It is a visual/audible experience every woman can relate to. ✌🏾😚✨

[@oldladybangers]

Thanks for watching! Yeah, this one took my emotions by surprise.

Shoutout to the legendary Melina Matsoukas. These are the type of reactions I hope to evoke from my work!

[@faz1606]

Please watch the whole Lemonade movie

[@tinsukasai]

I believe this message was . 1. Katrina (started on top of the car and ended in the drowning. 2. Police brutality showing cops and children with "don't shoot us" sign on the wall. 3. She heard the criticism of her daughter Blue in regards to her hair and nose, hence the line of how proud she is of the afro and the big negro nose. 4. Asking women to get in formation to take back the power they have....I might be the next Bill Gates in a making. That's all I got for now✌️❤️❤️ love ya

[@oldladybangers]

It's a great song and there's a lot there to dig into!
