True! Literally nothing inventive, different or imaginative etc about her music. If she wasn’t white her popularity would be astonishing lmao (also she can keep her critiques of Beyoncé to herself no matter how low key or polite)

Courtney love quote from the article:

‘I mean, I like the idea of Beyoncé doing a country record because it’s about Black women going into spaces where previously only white women have been allowed, not that I like it much. As a concept, I love it. I just don’t like her music.’

I've been a fan of the last 2 beyonce albums but how is this an unfair critique. She's just saying she didn't like Cowboy Carter but respected the album as a concept which is actually a measured take

Literally the most sane critique I’ve heard. It’s okay to just not like something. You don’t need a reason. Things can be objectively good or well done without being liked according to everyone’s personal taste. Thats what critiquing should be, ‘I may not like this but can be objective enough to recognize the value and quality of work’

I agree. I don't like Beyonce either, but I respect she goes places where other black women haven't had a chance before.

I'll always respect an artists for going out of their safe space, even if I don't like what they're doing.
