You're so entitled. I find him ugly and his voice annoying. Many country music fans are racists, but very few (maybe none) of the modern country artists are. Most of them hate the Dixie Chicks and their annoyance in the audience was with them. Some notable country stars were enjoying it like Faith Hill and Trisha Yearwood.

Bruno reminds me of lenny kravitz obviously they have great respect for people who came before them. But they come off as cheap derivative knockoffs of the things they were inspired by. Their music sounds like free licensed parodies of funk and rock. They have like no real sense of self or their very basic.

Sure all those country fans and country singers only enjoyed Beyonce on that stage. The Dixi Chicks have a big following and the country fans booed Beyonce when they announced that she was there.

Since I'm probably one of the few people on this site that follows country music, a lot of fans of traditional country don't consider many of the popular country acts today "real country" (ig. Taylor Swift, Rascal Flatts, "bro country" singers), nor do they like "hick hop" which is country and rap mixed together. They call it pop country. Also the Dixie Chicks was banned from many country stations years ago because of what Natalie Maines said about Dubya and some country singers like Toby Keith put them down.

No they were banned because they called out George Bush and I actually stand by that and I think its badass that as women they had the balls to do that. The country fans booed the mention of Beyonce when they announced she was there. All I am simply saying is, I disagree with people insinuating that those disgruntle expressions in the audience were solely because of the Dixie Chicks. I don't think some of them cared for Beyonce either and those country fans booed her out.

^^"Dubya" is George W. Bush, like people call Bill Clinton "Bubba"

Yeah they were so badass they lost their careers, and people haven't forgotten it either.

Kanye West's career seems to be going well, and he said "Bush don't care about black people" live on TV. It wasn't overseas at a concert. Gene Simmons has said all kinds of things during his career and it hasn't hurt the popularity of KISS. The only reason it hurt the Dixie Chicks is because their main audience is different from Kanye's and KISS'. If the Chicks sang pop or jazz music, what they did wouldn't have made a difference to their career, they wouldn't be banned from radio. They'd be like U2, Public Enemy, or Rage Against The Machine. It's like Ice T and Ice Cube (with NWA) made songs criticizing the police in the 1990s, but both Ice's are mainstream stars today. Ice T has been on Law & Order almost 20 years now and Ice Cube is a box office draw.

I respect that they are not industry puppets and are actually intelligent women. Despite their conservative audience, they weren't afraid to call out Bush's questionable politics. They were brave and I applaud them. There are millions of people who have died, lost their families, been thrown in jail for standing up for the rights of others and their beliefs. Yea the Dixie Chicks are badass....

You know Natalie Maines just can't keep her mouth shut.

Kinda have to wonder if the rest of the band is getting tired of her ruining their career also.

Blues & Country are twins. One is black and the other is white. But musically, both genres sounds like twin siblings. Because of that fact alone, black folks should be entitled to make country tracks whenever they feel like it. And the same goes to white folks that wants to make blues tracks.

Great way to put it.

As a Black woman myself, I don't think I or others are arguing thatanother Black singer can not sing country at a country award show. Its interesting how there are SO many other hateful and cruel things that goes on in this world against minorities BUT as soon as someone criticizes Beyonce, they are quick to make it into a race issue. As a Black social activist, who is apart of Black Lives Matter and social activists groups I personally find that insulting. The criticism Beyonce received at the country awards has nothing to do with race and everything to do with the fact that this move she pulled was nothing more than another one of her narcissic, self absorbed and entitled tactics that she always does on these award shows.Beyonce is the SAME Black woman who stole an opportunity from ANOTHER BLACK female singer, Ledisi last year at the Grammys in such a disgraceful way, Beyonce is the SAME Black Woman who tried to overshadow Rihanna, ANOTHER Black woman at this years MTV awards. So I personally don't want to hear faux bullshit about boo wooing over Beyonce, who benefits from tokenism and who obviously doesn't give a fuq about anybody or anything but herself. I stand by the fact that she had no business on that stage for the 50 anniversary of the county music award show. It was just another power move by the establishment and token black and its disgusting to read these excuses for such a entitled and selfish tactic.

So because Beyonce is INVITED to perform she's the problem? How does that work? If that award show wanted Ledisi to perform, they would have asked her. The CMA audience didn't have an issue with pop stars performing when its Megan Trainor, Ariana Grande or Justin Timberlake, so what's makes Beyonce different from those people?

Beyonce was invited to perform at the CMAs. She wasn't invited to perform "Take My Hand Oh Precious Lord" at the Grammys.

Hey shes the bigger star and used her clout to get what she wanted Im not saying its right or wrong its just business. Was it ok for prince to take the times name or mj to buy the beatles catlog from under his new friend paul? Ledsi will be alright it wouldnt have made any difference whether she sang the song or not she wouldve went straight back to obscurity either way.

You're naively assuming she was "invited".

The problem with your assumption is that Beyonce does not have a good track record in terms of being "invited". She usually interjects herself inappropiately into these award shows and events. She has a track record of being a selfish bitch... its harsh but its the truth and I am sick tired of this propaganda worship of Beyonce when she does and has done very questionable and shady antics.

BASED off of what she did to Ledisi (JOHN LEGEND said himself that Beyonce ASKED him to sing Ledisi song) AND based off what she did this year at the MTV awards in which she asked MTV to perform a 15 minute segment performance which rivaled Rihanna's 15 performance who was being honored with the MTV Vanguard award that SAME night, LETS ME KNOW Beyonce is a selfish narcisstic bitch who doesn't give a fuq about anybody but her self.

NONE of those three pop stars singed one of their songs at the CMA's and tried to pass it off as country song and again I would have this same feelings whether it was Beyonce or Rihanna or JT. I personally don't think NO pop star should have been a focal point for the special for the 50th anniversary country award show. Its not like it was ANY OL award show, it was honoring the 50th anniversary! They could have picked any country singer to commorborate the honor with the Dixi Chicks. I don't believe she was invited at all.

Just like Tea was spilled this year about her Super Bowl performance. She was not asked by NFL to perform I knew that already. I knew it was some type of arrangement between her and Chris Martin since they are friends. Yall need to stop being so gullible when it comes to Beyonce.... These organizations are not DYING to invite Beyonce to these things in all situations, a lot of times she buys alot of her awards, her endorements and forces her way into these opportunities.

She wasn't invited to the CMA's either.

I believe she asked to be apart of it and to sing her "country" song.

She wasn't invited by CMA's to sing her fake country song. The audience clearly was not pressed to see her based off the footage I saw and the booing she got. Rihanna performed on CMA's before and was not booed so I am not sure why people are arguing the reason why the audience did not like her is due to racism. Maybe they legitimately did not like the song and had no interest in seeing Beyonce.

If she wasn't invited, then why were the Dixie Chicks with her? They didn't perform any of their own songs and there was no particular reason for them to be on stage since they haven't released an album as a group since 2006. Natalie Maines released a solo album 2 or 3 years ago, but it wasn't country, more like pop rock.

1. Beyonce wasn't invited to perform Last Year at the grammys

2. MTV did not invite Beyonce so she could promote her tour with a long medley performance during the same night Rihanna was honored with a Vanguard award.

3. Beyonce was not invited by the NFL to perform at this years Super Bowl

Beyonce is a very narcisstic and selfish woman. She interjects herself into things inappropiately and likes stealing te spotlight from others. These last few antics she pulls demonstrates that perfectly. I have receipts for 1 and 3 too. I know I might ruffle some feathers when I say this but what is it about Beyonce that yall worship her so much? Like whats so great about her???? What does she have that Michael, Prince, Stevie Wonder or Marvin Gaye didn't? She is treated as this untouchable deity, its soooo creepy.

You must not know about James Brown in the 1960s. Singers like Solomon Burke & Joe Tex would know about that. There's also Diana Ross aka "Miss Ross" and actresses like Bette Davis. I don't even really listen to Beyonce's music much other than Destiny's Child, so I don't know how you came up that I worship her. I haven't played DC in a long while and only have one Beyoncé solo album. The name Micky Dolenz comes from a member of The Monkees, has nothing to do with Beyoncé, and I've never had her as an avatar. Also why do you care who somebody else likes? What does it have to do with you? You always talk trash about Beyoncé & Jay Z, but if someone says something about Michael Jackson & Bruno Mars you don't like it. That's like you can dish it out but can't take it yourself or being a hypocrite. You sure do spend a lot of time looking up things about acts you claim you don't like. If I'm not interested in someone, I'm sure not going to waste time reading about them to see how they run their business or how they act and definetly not going to constantly talk about them. I don't like D'Angelo's music and you don't see me commenting in his threads either, like people like you and Graycap always going into threads to talk negative about the same people over and over like a scratched record.

What is hyprocritical is people who constantly bash Bruno Mars, Adele (artists who try to make quality music in todays pop market whether you like them or not) and yall will even go as far as to bash MJ but then ya'll turn around and stan for Beyonce and her trashy disposable music. Call me anything you want but I will always call that bullshit out because that is what it is....

Don't tell me "We are the World" or "Rolling in the Deep" is cheesy and bland but then you same simple fonts turn around and stan for Suck on my Balls by Beyonce, a mean a what joke! This thread is embrassing Yall can stan for her and I am also entitled to my opinions as well. I like Bruno Mars and I don't see anything wrong with Graycap expressing his dislike for him or his music. Its HIS opinion at the end of the day this is a discussion board, nobody has a right to be censored just because you disagree.

^^Who is "yall"? I never bash anyone, that's a waste of time to me. As a matter of fact I always speak up for acts people on this site call bland like Kenny G, Bryan Adams, Whitney Houston, Debby Boone, The Beatles, etc. I've made threads about Renaissance Faires, Lawrence Welk, & polka music. I don't care if a song or act is funky like a Vainandy or Graycap. In that thread with We Are The World I said I liked all of the songs except 2 I hadn't heard of. So when did I say We Are The World was "cheesy". "Cheesy" is not a word I use anyway because I don't think any music is "cheesy" and I also don't use terms like "guity pleasures" because I'm not embarrased about anything I listen to. I also don't say stuff like "real music by real musicians". All music is real. Gunsnhalen even took me saying that all the time and wrote a Bizzaro (from Superman comic books) version of it for his signature.

.

You can't prove Beyonce's or anybody else's music is trash. It's not a fact, that's your opinion. If this thread is embarrasing, then don't click on it. Problem solved. There's dictators, corporate criminals, gangs, starving people, polution in the world and you're embarrased about a singer. Sounds like first world problems to me.

Um, no. Her music being trash is not merely opinion but indeed fact. And she's proven that its fact time and time again

The only reason Beyonce was there was to make it easier on the Dixie Chicks to take the stage.

IMO the Dixie Chicks should never have been there, let alone be on stage.

Why? Because they dared to say that they didn't like the idiot president you were stupid enough to elect twice?
