Her life has been a successful pursuit of money, nothing wrong with that. Any income is more than none.How much do you think artists make from sales?
Yeah, because ThugMasta Jay-Zzzz will whip out his GlaWk Fotty and come fo yo ass!I know nothing about current music, but I do know that in 2024, this Beyonce person can sing any song that she wants and that it would be very unwise to criticize her in public.
He thinks it is pure shit, like everybody else.What exactly do you not like about it?
He can speak for himselfHe thinks it is pure shit, like everybody else.
Well, a lot of folks disagree there's nothing wrong with that. Don't fuck with a classic. Like John legend changing the lyrics to ‘Baby It’s Cold Outside’She made it her own. Nothing wrong with that.
As long as the songwriter approves, it’s all good.Well, a lot of folks disagree there's nothing wrong with that. Don't fuck with a classic. Like John legend changing the lyrics to ‘Baby It’s Cold Outside’
Roadhouse shouldn’t have been remade. But it was.Don't fuck with a classic.
I do not understand why you think people may not be entitled to their own opinions. Have you always been such a schmuck or did this happen to you later in life?He can speak for himself
It’s not “all good” for me if I think it is shit.As long as the songwriter approves, it’s all good.
That’s your problem. I’m sure there are plenty of people that do like itIt’s not “all good” for me if I think it is shit.
Her version is very flat. I don't know about her other songs on the album. She is a very good singer, which surprised me. I will listen to it again in case the medium (tv) was off or something.What exactly do you not like about it?
Now I have Kiss and Angel Good morning, going in my head.The truth of it is, people like you hate the fact that a black woman can crossover into white music. I’m sure Charlie Pride went through the same thing
And it was BAD.Roadhouse shouldn’t have been remade. But it was.
It's a fine album.Many would be surprised to know that Dolly helped Beyonce with her album.

I'll still have to watch it.And it was BAD.
The billionaire Jay-Z?Yeah, because ThugMasta Jay-Zzzz will whip out his GlaWk Fotty and come fo yo ass!
As I said before, whether you like it or not is entirely subjective, moron. But in the little tick turd pretending to be your brain, it is somehow racist if I do not like her song. Why! Because you are a MORON.That’s your problem. I’m sure there are plenty of people that do like it
WOW!! That is so hot!!I liked Beyonce's cover of Blackbird. I was not though impressed with your cover of Jolene.
Funny thing about Dolly's version is that all the fussing she does about Jolene taking "her man," the singer seems to have more than a passing fancy for Jolene:
[Verse 1]
Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene
If I didn't know better, I'd think the woman singing about Jolene wants to run off with Jolene.
But I digress! Dolly's version is still the best I have ever heard.
