oh not us here

whats cracking me up is dee not knowing jolene

rllypetty

I decided to check out your reaction to this, since I missed it when it first dropped. Most songs you liked, I wasn't feeling. Spaghetti was actually the song I hated instantly and consistently disliked on every listen. Daughter was my favorite. Desert Eagle is underrated imo. Ya Ya sounds like it'd be amazing in concert and mv. I did like 2H2H and Amen tho. I literally felt like saying amen when it finished playing. It's an interesting album to me because so many songs have parts that slap and sometimes don't land where you expect, bc she switches between styles mid song and you may not like the style she moves to. I think that makes it hard to like some songs. Sure, it smoothes back to land again but by then, you can't get into the song again. I feel like you were experiencing that. I can't be sure bc you are you. I definitely had that experience and came out feeling differently every time I played the album. Songs like Daughter, 2 Most Wanted, Levi Jeans, Texas Hold Em, Bodyguard, 16 Carriages, Blackbird, and Jolene didn't have that. They were straight shooters and less experimental. Still downloaded 8 songs tho 😂...

Beyincé was originally Beyoncé’s Mother’s maiden name. When Tina was born the hospital spelt it wrong as “Beyoncé” and when they asked if it could be corrected the hospital told her she should be happy they were even given a bith certificate because they were black. Later Tina named Beyoncé after this. That was originally supposed to be the title of the album but it was changed to CC

Darryn

And yea all of the interludes with Dolly, Willie, and Linda Martell (who was one of the first successful black country artists) are portraying us moving through a radio station. That’s why Willie is switching the channels on the radio and they’re announcing the following songs

Darryn

lol Dee this is an album you actually have to understand the context and time it was made in. (The CMAs, Lemonade, Covid). Also Blackbird is a Beatles cover and Jolene is a Dolly Parton cover, and both are known classics. In the OG Dolly was begging Jolene not to take her man, whereas Bey is warning her.

Darryn

Me smirking waiting till Dee hear the part she doesn’t like at the beginning of the album is at the end 🤭

Ken

Not u paying to hear an opinion and being mad🤣🤣😭

Anndre'a Rankin

I’m glad you actually enjoyed this album, y’all she liked 11 songs this is a win for the hive 😂 buzz buzz

Jeffrey

Jolene is a song originally by dolly parton that's why she has an interlude

Malyki

this this solidifies that i hate country.. even with beyoncé 😭

kimberly #slay

Hey Jolene is like a trend song she hopped on it’s like a cover she did from a country artist

Timothy Warren

i just had to resubscribe to your patreon again just to see you reaction of the album. Continue with the amazing work Dee

Banele

Decent album but definitely love Yaya Bodyguard and Tyrant. A few others have been saved. Enjoy the album more than I thought I would.

Ohemaa MaMokowa

dee first off, drop the skin routine video 🥲🙄😍 secondly i hope you know now jolene’s just a cover 😂 sure there’s correlation to her past experience but it’s not her own song. that’s why dolly parton introduced the song because dolly wrote it

lil baby walter

Lmaoo byeee

Skyra Cosmos

Oh bet, thanks for letting me know :)

Dee Shanell

Sameee

Dee Shanell

💀

Dee Shanell

Bodyguard was about Julius 😂😂😂😂😂

Lauren

this is my first time listening to what I thought was a country album....and I hate country music, but dammit Beyoncé kills it every time, I was genuinely surprised at how much I love this.

Tyler Alexander

Btw Dee, if you swipe with 3 fingers (right or left) you can switch faster to Spotify or any other open application

Samaale Mohamed

I'm aware...there are a million comments before yours saying this exact same thing. I don't think you understood what I said or maybe you're unaware of Beyonce echoing this exact same sentiment in other songs...but I'll leave it alone, you got it lol

Dee Shanell

I liked the album first listen but all I could think about was your reaction and I knew your were going to like spaghetti

Amiiyah

I was pleasantly surprised by this album! I’m from the deeep south yet it’s hard for me to get into country music 😭, but I actually enjoyed a good amount of the songs on here.

reylt

its not taylor lol

m

Tyrant is by far my favorite she ate so bad

Daviiii

The barbs gotta stop lmao

Dee Shanell

This level of stanning is embarrassing lmao it's my opinion and you being pressed about it isn't gonna change that. Beyonce has made similar songs ranting about side chicks many times before so I'm gonna continue to believe a part of her feels that way. Stay mad 😂

Dee Shanell

Who are you to tell her how to enjoy music when you came to litteraly see her reaction. Learn to let people have different music taste.

Natalie chin nun.

You got to study music this album is just to different you got to look up her intentions and reverences yaya is Country but original country down south dirty soul blues and blue grass

Scorpio22

Dee learn to enjoy the music and stop taking stuff so Literal it's music this why people miss the 90s because we didn't take it as everything the artist sings is about them being so negative for what Jolene is fire the flip was hard was she supposed to beg her like the original.

Scorpio22

I just recently came across a tweet where they said “looka looka looka” was copying Nicki Minaj big foot (lied on yo dead mama) 😭😭😭😭😭😭bro laughed for 5 minutes straight

Aniyah

I guarantee it helped that she was white though unfortunately

Josh

You're chillin 🫶

Josh

Jolene is a little bit of an L 😬 but I feel like since it’s a remake of an iconic song it gets a pass maybe.. I love the album tho so glad u liked so many songs

Luke Redgate

Yes very sure 😂 dolly p is who was before the song. She’s the lady who made the song jolene. She also made will always love you. That Whitney covered. She said she wanted bey to do to this song what Whitney did to the other one. Bey just changed some lyrics because the original was basically begging

Ruin

Bodyguard is my shit!!! Definitely prefer this album to renaissance. Love that Beyonce is still giving us bops to this day!!!

Paris Cato

Miley’s voice is so amazing!!

fahad alboq

Yassss 🫶🏾 and that's wassup, I'm glad people are enjoying it!

Dee Shanell

You sure about that? Lmao how much Beyonce have you listened to? This woman has ranted about Jay's side chicks for years chile 😂

Dee Shanell

Dee loving the song with Taylor Swift doing the oooh-wee-ooh ah's 🤣 icl its mine too

Kewi.

I was scared this album was going to be a heavy yee-haw type of album😭 but this album has so many different genres including opera. I loved this album but 2-3 songs will have to grow on me.

Kiki __

Yes.

Destinycbn

The side eye when she said “ Come be my nick at Night” 🤣🤣🤣 I had the same reaction

David Yorg

girl ntm lmao

Kiki __

Right! I thought Dolly sang the same lyrics 😂

David Yorg

Minor? Lol the lyrics are completely different. Similar theme though, sure. Although Dolly's version she's sadly begging, Beyonce wasn't doing that at all 😂

Dee Shanell

AOTY! Mother ate!

Destinycbn

Jolene is Dolly Parton’s song, so this was a cover with minor changes

David Yorg

Your reaction to Jolene 😂

Rainbow

Oh Beyoncé was not playing with Jolene 🤣

Josh B

I thoroughly enjoy listening to this with you! The second half of the album was great and I agree 100% about the Ariana Grande album. Loved hearing the song pop up in the vlog

Emani

Dee, watching you be absolutely appalled at Jolene not knowing at the time it was a revised cover was hilarious 😂 but there might be some truth to it for Beyoncé tbh 🤷🏾‍♀️ that’s her man. Great video as always!

Emani

Dee Jolene is a cover it’s Dolly Partons song she asked for bey to sing it. It ain’t about her life 😂😂😂😂

Ruin

Also I loveeee the album, specifically that last section where you saved a lot of the songs, tyrant is gna b on repeat. It’s the most streamed album in one day on Spotify this year so far surpassing metro/future and Ariana so I guess the public fw it too

Cory

As a proud member of the Deehive and the Beyhive, this vid was so pleasing. Bey ate

Cory

beyince is her moms maiden name and it was misspelled on her birth certificate by a racist doctor so tina named beyonce after the correct spelling. Its pronounced the same tho.

Chinenyenwa Muoneke

Ohhh damm … when did she say this?… I’m a Swiftie and I know all the fan pages been saying that Taylor’s background vocals are on the album … where did Beyonce confirm this?…

Joshua Lewis

So we just playing on Beyonce internet?

Woo

i really liked this album this hoe just can’t lose she never disappoints🩵 & levi’s jeans , ya ya , river dance, body guard is my faves i liked 17/27 songs🔥

ra

The song with Miley>>>

Jay Vitz

YASSSS

Jay Vitz

Always enjoy watching your review! I agree I’m not a country girl but I appreciate the art and effort that is put in this album and there are still a lot of bops🤠💃🏾 i never looked back at Arianas album either😭🤣

Meli

I feel like after the 3rd act she’s going on a pause on music or retire (maybe a reach) but idk why I’m just sensing that🤷🏽‍♂️

Bryson Golden

I'm saying she's supporting her

Josh

Reaching Beyonce doesn’t shade especially to people close to her

Jorden

AGREED. My comment wasn’t suppose to sound so ignorant but my intentions were pure.

imnobody2001

Ohhhh damm, thanks for clearing that up … 🙏🏽…

Joshua Lewis

Love this album! The way I had the "nasty" face on when I heard TYRANT!!! The production on that song almost made me wreck my car in the streets fr.

Josh

No shade but her country music was good too. Still some her most played songs and it has been decades. She didn't just excel bc she was white.

Josh

The Taylor rumor was proved to be false

Josh

Damn, running the queen's name through the dirt, you better watch your mouth. 🫡 I'm just kidding 😅

Josh

I agree, Kelly Clarkson would've killed on this album.

Josh

Confirmed to not be true

Josh

"Look at that horse, pretty as hell, al naturale" She stepping up for Megan on the body work claims? Or am I reaching? 😂

Josh

Jolene is written by Dolly Parton and its her song that's why she had her on interlude introducing it. She's covering the song lol.

Laurence

Levii Jeans is a sexy ass song. I didn’t even know you could whine your waist to country but hey😭🤷🏾‍♂️🕺🏾. Post and Bey ate. Best song on the album.

J

Miley comes from a country background. Dolly Parton is actually her godmother.

Michael Merriweather

dee jolene was dolly partons iconic song originally covered by allll the girls but dolly recorded a full interlude for bey and said do your thing and tell your version👀

Kamil Banach

You just made that up🥴

J

taylor use to be country in her early early years of her career. she’s more so in the pop and folk genre now

Nykari Williams

Go find some zinc and elderberry!!

Michael Merriweather

I lobe how dee loves when Beyonce raps she def hit me off guard with them

John Holmes

i love love love this album

gracie

No she doesn’t

_.Ny

Jolene is dolly pardons song.. dolly been wanting beyonce to cover that song for years now

_.Ny

Taylor swift is NOT country. She is Pennsylvania. She only did country music and of course she excelled in that genre at the beginning of her career because she’s white. ONLY MILEY AND POST MALONE ARE FROM TEXAS.

imnobody2001

blackbird is a Beatles cover

pilbil

it can’t be her worse when i am sasha fierce exists

pilbil

I heard that’s just a rumor she’s not actually doing the backgrounds

Naïla

the album is really good. Spaghetti the rap ate omggggg

John Holmes

Dee’s great because she can still acknowledge the thought that goes into an album even though she doesn’t like some of the songs. Some people can’t separate the mastery of art from the singles they choose in their head. I loved this reaction! But also D, not too much on Bey about Jolene; it’s just a remake. 😂😂

lwilb

I’m looking forward to her reaction too! 🙏🏽

Valencia

First listen I only liked 10 songs but I’m blaming that on me being tired because I stayed up to listen. But second listen it was 14 so I think that says a lot. Beyonce popped her shit with this one. And she was definitely right it’s a Beyonce Album it’s like a genre on its own fr. No other artist has done anything remotely close to this. I’m very pleased with it and I’m bout to start saving for the tour lol

Valencia

I had low expectations because I don’t like country like that fr, but i liked 9/27. My favs were riiverdance and sweet honey buckiin. I appreciate how versatile Bey is and how great of a singer she still is in comparison to some of her peers

Cameron Brown

No she doesn’t

Louis

Taylor is kinda on the album her vocals are background on one of the songs

Jaylin Kirskey

Dee’s Jolene reaction had me laughing so much!!! … I could never listen to that song the same 😂… I feel like the first song off MOST people’s album are good but they’re just one listen to songs because I hardly ever go back to ANY of them … Taylor is featured as Background vocals on Bodyguard but damm, Taylor been making country music since the beginning (now she does pop) but Beyonce still could’ve had her featured because that collaboration would’ve been fire AND it would be beneficial because the country genre would have no choice but to accept the song … I get why she put Miley on there because Dolly is Miley’s godmother BUT I know Miley to be country from Hannah Montana and just where she grew up but not really her music … idk … just me … but I actually like most of the songs (got 13 of them downloaded) … Maybe it’ll grow on me because with Renaissance I only liked two songs in the beginning and then a few months later, I had all but Virgo’s Groove downloaded … 😂… no shade to that song but it’s not my style … Thanks for this reaction Dee, have a great trip … 😊🫶🏽, hope you feel better … ❤️‍🩹 💐…

Joshua Lewis

her worst album, literal snoozefest, that noodle song or wet pasta was hilarious mostly because of those weak 'bars' she attempted at

BrazzyCareBear

BOUNCE ON IT, NO HANDS

Zyair

Am I tripping…did yall hear Kelly and Michelle background vocals on American Requiem??

Wynter Davis

omg lmao yes!!!

mary-anne

One thing bout Yonce is she don’t care bout these other artists lil streaming numbers or whatever or making “a hit”, she gon focus on doing one thing and that’s making an ALBUM. It always feels like a complete body of work. This one in particular, I don’t fully know how I feel about it. There’s some clear stand outs to me, spaghetti got me feeling spaghetto, I love 16 carriages, bodyguard, desert eagle, river dance, ya ya, just for fun, and enjoyed some others. Renaissance definitely grew on me and I think many songs here have the potential to do the same, if not, I’m not too bothered because I still respect this as a complete piece of art. It is long tho lmao.

Ryan Haile

Jolene sounds familiar because that was one of Dolly Parton's most popular songs. Beyonce did a cover and rewrote some of the lyrics lol

aTaurus

The song with Miley should have been with Kelly Clarkson.. That would've been epic!!!

Izzyarsenio

🐝 was raised in Austin Texas. I love that she played from her soul and not anything forced. Some of the most creative minds are from southern states ♥️

BrianPhilip

Trueee, I guess which is why she beat them to it and said this isn't a country album lol

Dee Shanell

Trap Yonce is my favoriteee

Dee Shanell

Omg Mary-Anne what are you doing here lol I see you all the time on Songs From a Suitcase! 🙌🏽

Valencia

taylor does background vocals on bodygaurd

Darr

I love this album! Much better than Renaissance from first listen. It doesn't give all the way country tho. Alot of gospel influence. I can see the country stans being like this ain't a country album hearing some trap sound on certain songs. Also, "Blackbird" sounds like something from Toy Story lol

Dany

lol Dee I feel like you should listen to American Requiem again but with headphones or ear buds, but it really is a loud song at times 😂

Jhada

Lol that way you got excited when trap Beyoncé came😂

Omar_q8

Of course it's funny to mr. multi-lingual, good for you 😂

Dee Shanell

at first, I didn’t know what to think of the album, but there are some bops on that album no shade

Lexi

Yesss she really pulled through with this one! Glad you enjoyed the video :)

Dee Shanell

Love this reaction! Thanks Dee for always keeping it real w us. And that interlude speaks volumes when she says genres shouldn’t confine artists and what they release. Overall this album for me flows really well and there is a few hits I can for sure see me revisit!

Tyler Winter

the way you felt about renaissance on first listen is how i feel about this on first listen. it’s gonna take some time to grow,

pilbil

also based on first listens i actually enjoyed it more than Renaissance too 😭

mary-anne

I actually LOVE this album! I was on the same boat as you, didn’t really know what to expect and country is definitely not my favorite genre so I was nervous but she did her thing! I have so many favorites! And you’re reaction was so good!

mary-anne

Amazing reaction as always 😻🫶 I was shook when you said you didn’t like Jolene 😭 I love the album but I did delete the interludes 😭

Jose

Thankss 🤗 glad to have you here!

Dee Shanell

I CAUGHT DEJA VU WHILE YOU REACTED TO LEVII’S JEANS! Not my psychic abilities kicking in! Loving the reaction so far

Trevion

Jolene is a song by Dolly Parton, the lady on the Dolly P interlude🤣 She just switched it up to her own version!

Kenyaè

“Is this creole? Nah, this is Spanish…” whole time it’s Italian😭😭 I don’t know why that was so funny to me lmao😂

Ryan Haile

Omg I was waiting for this, also "Jolene" is a Dolly Parton song, thats why you said you've heard it before, hence Dolly being in the interlude before. Beyonce just changed some lyrics and added a bridge but kept the message of the song.

José Moreira

Jolene is a cover of Dolly Parton who has said she really wants Bey to sing that song because she has a beautiful powerful voice. She was hoping Beyoncé would cover it like Whitney covered her other song “I will always love you”. That being said, I love the arrangement and vocals but I don’t know why she felt the need to rewrite the lyrics like that. The original is a very moving confession of the insecurity of a woman who begs this “Jolene” to not take her man and almost admires her for her charm and beauty. Doesn’t maybe sound like the best thing, but it works because of Dolly really sells that pleading. Weird to redo that song and make it into hating on the “Jolene” or “Becky with the good hair” lol. The good thing about the “Becky with the good hair” reference in Lemonade was how it was almost a passing mention of the woman which gave further insight to the parallels of the societal look at black women in a song mostly aimed at the man in the cheating situation. This cover was just overall a weird execution but I think it’s cool that she did Dolly’s song and that Dolly intro’d it. Also, Willie Nelson is a huge country legend who has actually been outspoken about country music’s black roots.

Ryan Haile

Dolly Parton dropping in showin support was cute. Then Bey covering her tune Jolene was a stroke of genius. Loved that.

Admusik

Love listening to your opinions and reactions to music albums 😍

LinaCyber

right lmao. have rumi be in the chorography or something

Jayla Simmons

yesss cant wait to listen along with you dee! <3

saba_nana

jolene is a song by dolly parton (the woman talking on dolly p) and she basically remade the song. on the original dolly is BEGGING jolene to not take her man. i’m pretty sure a decent portion of this album is from the perspective of her mother. at least i hope lol

pilbil

let me get my breakfast so I can watch chi

d

Let's gooo

Dee Shanell

Orrrr she could shoot the nigga. Makes more sense, just saying lol

Dee Shanell

Dee Shanell

Ben Turner

Kabelo Mokoenq

beyoncé said “i woulda shot jolene i dare a bitch to take my man from me” ikdr

pilbil

Am I the only one that waited for Dee to upload this video so I can listen to the album for the first time ever with her rather than listening to it on my own & then watching the reaction?

Mazin

Kj1
