I hate Beyoncé because every time I listen to her music while skateboarding or snowboarding I get too hyped and then I get hurt badly. It’s the Illuminati at work IMO.

And I just don't like her music. It's not her, her wealth, or her ideology and certainly not her skin tone, I just generally dislike most pop music. That includes country and rap/hiphop, though I like many sub-genres (e.g. "rock and roll" from the 70s is better country, folk music, gangster rap from the 80s and 90s, etc).

If her music was covered by a punk, metal, or ska band, I'd probably like it more. Pop music just feels manufactured and corporate, probably because it is, and a cover by a smaller group feels more passionate, probably because it is.

I hate her because of her voice and talent free acting

You hate Cowboy Carter because you are racist.

I hate Cowboy Carter because I think racist country music culture should be marginalized, not expanded.

Very similar to when she claimed to be the first black woman to headline the Glastonbury festival and Skin from Skunk Anansie was like, ex-fucking-scuse me.

If it’s anything like what current mainstream country music has been since roughly 9/11 then no wonder the bigots love it when it’s not a black woman. Nothing out of Nashville has really been good since the 90s

There's some ambiguity in English here.

I think it's okay to be neutral on Beyonce. I think it's okay to prefer silence over her music.

Some people are weirdly active in their dislike of her. That seems strange to me. Like they have an active, motivating dislike of her.

(Unless you're coming at it via "no ultra wealthy", then I kind of get it, but I feel like people who got wealthy from performing music are lower on my list of problems than other ultra rich)

Who doesn’t like The Tracy Chapman version tho?

They also just don’t have to do that because it was already presumed—contemporary country fans, I should be clear. The type of people who listen to that type of music are generally angry young white guys who like drinking and are in college.

The country music space has been invaded by the right wing “patriot” crowd.

Which were themselves covers of black songs during segregation?

Cowboy Carter is Beyonce's country album.

I generally find that people prefer artists they can sing along to and have it somewhat sound simila

I don’t necessarily select music solely for the vocals, but I typically find women’s voices much more beautiful. Andrea bocelli, don mclean, and hozier are notable exceptions, but Amy Winehouse, Adele, or even Beyoncé tend to hit me harder.

I'm kinda the opposite, haha! It's twenty years old now but back then I got my hands on the Beautiful Voices albums and I discovered some fantastic female vocalists (and a few I already loved). These days my most listened to band is without a doubt Band Maid, and my latest discovery is Castle Rat... It's not the fact it's a woman singing, per se, it's more something to do with lyricism and the contrast with the metal sound. Just like Serj Tankian's operatic singing vs the mad sound of SoaD, if you will.

It could just be the particular artist or their style. Most of the mental I like is male vocaled, but that's just a numbers game. I like quite a few metal bands with women leads, but there are some that just rub me the wrong way, like Unleash the Archers. But give me something like In This Moment or Amaranthe and I'm hooked for hours.

Maybe that's just in accordance with the normal style of metal music, where male vocals are expected / more appropriate. I'm surprised to learn that there are female metal singers at all.

I think this is in reference to the album being fully shut out of the country music awards. Not even a single nomination.
