Except Metallica's is the second best cover of Ecstasy of Gold behind Yo-Yo Ma's.

They are clumsy, that's true.

But it's odd to criticize the song (and her) on such as personal level. For not showing the correct emotion, for not talking about her marriage the 'right' way.

I don't necessarily think her personal relationships have anything to do with this. Beyonce can and does make songs about hypotheticals instead of personal experience. It's also perfectly valid to be angry at women your husband cheated on you with. The problems I have are more like the lyrics are just bad. Dolly's is legitimate poetry like Shakespeare tier shit. Beyonce's is more like a dis track directed to no one in particular mixed in with random improv shit that don't even fit the lyrics of the song. Like it's a talk between her and Jolene but then adds in a random ass male duo with meters that don't even rhyme. The fact that she's always shouting and doing crazy ass runs on every bar isn't doing her any favors here either.

Nah. The best cover of that is the Wild ARMs Filgaia world map theme.

I mean i just think its kind of weird that shes attacking and threatening a fake woman over a man who literally cheated on her in real life, while saying things like I raised my man and his kids as if its a flex.

Lemonade was all about Jay Zs infidelity, so to see a song where shes so antagonistic towards other women just feels weird. Its also perfectly valid to criticize a songs subject matter, even if its personal. I dislike Jay Z for what he did, and her acting like its other women that are at fault is strange

Most Beyonce music is shit, but this is even more shit than usual. I don't even really understand who her target audience is for these new songs.

The only person I know who even listens to Beyonce is a gay black man and he hates her new shit.

It's crazy to me people can listen to cowboy Carter and not be entertained

Like it's legit baffling and yet here itt are several

I don't like Country Music, and I just don't think Beyonce is that great a singer.

I don't dislike her voice, and she seems pretty based as a person I guess? - but yeah... it's like regular Beyonce to me is bland but listenable, this to me sounds irritating because it's not what she's really even good at - which is pop.

Not liking her voice or her music is one thing.

but objectively shes an A maybe even S tier singer

I'd say pick any female pop singer of the last few decades and they can probably cover her material better.

No, to be fair, I don't. It's just an assumption I make based on my own experiences with the whole debate. I literally didn't know the whole "gif vs jif" was a thing until I saw some Youtuber bring it up a few years ago. Nobody has ever "corrected" me on it, besides goofballs on the Internet.

And even if "Gif" is technically correct, it doesn't matter cause, well, language evolves.

See? Now is this me ignoring you?

No one IRL who has read the word gif says "jif" unless they're "uhm, actshully"ing at the moment, at which point they always go back to saying "gif" like a normal person.

If you show the word to someone new, they're ALWAYS going to say "gif" because that's how it's fucking spelled.
