So you're telling me that it's not a country song, yet it suddenly gets awarded a CMA when it's performed by a 1. White 2. Man  But when it was sung by a 1. Black 2. Woman It's a folk song?  It’s not just a white man singing it. It’s a country artist, that sung it with country anunciation, vocals, and traditional country instruments. It’s a folk song that’s was remade as countless other songs have been, into a different genre.  Was Whitney Houston’s version of “I will always love you” awarded country awards, when the original version by Dolly Parton was a country song? No it wasn’t. Thats because it was remade into a pop song. I don’t understand how you don’t understand this? You are reaching so hard for a victim narrative. You understand the difference between folk music and country music right? You understand the original version of Fast Car was not a country song, but was a folk pop song right? It’s two different genres of music. 10 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate your perspective, and you've given me something to think about tbh. We may disagree, but I do not think the points you have made have no merit. It's always refreshing to try to see things from someone else's perspective *I base this information on absolutely nothing* 2 4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don't get why Gaga's labeled as "black female peers" ??? I think she's trying, and failing, to be facetious. She's basically saying the closest you've ever come to making a real effort to sharing your platform with black women are: The Dixie Chicks, Shakira & Lady Gaga Edited March 21 by Westerosi I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve. 4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakmasda 71 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I think it is a bad combination the level of "Guarding the Sacredness of Queen Bee" + "We hate AB cause she is a deranged psycho". But that kind of psycho is apparently the type that dares to say anything non-sacred about the almighty Queen of all genres (although she still kisses her ass lol) Blasting Sweet Dreams and **** him all night now, just to be naughty and stir some shyt, wheeeee! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chun li 2,223 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 But why doesn’t Acealia implement this  criticism onto her own life and career? and do something? Doesn’t she have like... one album and that's it? 1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helxig 39,783 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 (edited) Wait I skimmed it and she is complaining that Beyonce doesn't uplift black women enough and only collabs with white women.. but didn't Beyonce start the careers of Chloe and Halle Bailey and signed them to her label? And I just looked it up and she's done collabs with Mary J Blige and Alicia Keys  Edited March 21 by Helxig I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimmo 76,769 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I mean she made some points…. Why would Beyonce win album of the year when she has yet to pen a whole album on her own let alone without writing camps?  And in 16 Carriages, how is Beyonce overworked, cooking, cleaning and Underpaid? Reminds me of Break My Soul where she quit her 9-5 job, because those songs are struggles from her writers and then she comes and tries to make the songs “about her”  Hottie Detector Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you heard the original only you would struggle to call it country. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
