Beyonce's version of "Blackbird" by the Beatles

I thought that was a photo of Angela Lansbury on the right.

Oh look, another Bedonce thread.

R2 don't worry. Your nurse will come to change your soiled bedsheets soon.

What really surprises me about Beyoncé is that her fans are rabid in their defense of her mostly horrible albums, but her album sales are nowhere near impressive for a singer who is at her level of fame. For example, that tone deaf tapeworm Taylor Swift registers both impressive sales and concert attendance rates, but Beyoncé only seems to have a huge media presence and considerable concert attendance numbers, while her sales tend to be nowhere near impressive.

With that said, I think that it's a great pity that Mrs Carter has so very little musical taste, because as her album 4 proves, she can do some pretty interesting things when her instincts are properly guided (Love On Top is pure brilliance, 1+1, Best Thing I Never Had and I Was There are great, and numbers like Schooling Life and Dreaming are quite good). However, since the extremely uneven but mostly awful Lemonade, she has pigheadedly adhered to a disastrous formula that is held together by crass wokeism and aggressive publicity campaigns.

As for the old hen known as Paul McCartney, he is an egotist who would do anything to increase his media profile. Also, like all the members of The Beatles, he is a mediocre musician and singer who was in the right place at the right time. I wouldn't consider his blessing anything about which one ought to brag.

I liked her cover. I wish she’d do more softer music like this instead of the constant yelling and screaming.

Her voice is uniquely grating.

Are they all afraid to say no to her? Do they need the money? Paul and his solo efforts suck donkey dick. Still, there is no way her rendition of Blackbird is better than the Beatles. Jolene was perfect without her. I made it through two and a half listens of Texas Hold Em. Her cornpone droning made my ears bleed. 😈

R4, you could have just said you hate Beyonce with far fewer words.

The song is lovely and Beyonce's recording is lovely.

What a desecration and I'm disappointed in Paul McC (or "Macca" as the Brits call him) for allowing her to cover this. Brings my opinion of him down a few notches, but i guess keeping one's self relevant is important for those in public facing occupations.

She’s just a singer, you know. Not the messiah.

Datalounge is a safe space for people who are weary of her and her stupid stans.

R4 You could listen to music you like.

I like Beyoncé and I like Sir Paul but I have no desire to hear her rendition. But good on her for introducing this song to a new audience.

Is she capable of doing anything original?
