Do you really care who is the subject of Beyonce's new song

Rachel Rays response to all of this was to post a recipe for lemonade which cracked me up. Haha.

I didn't even know this was a thing until I saw Joanna Gaines post a recipe for lemon pie and someone said she must have been listening to Beyonce. I saw the title of the other thread but now when I see Beyonce I think of the chicken for some reason.

I don't give a rat's ass about anything Beyonce.  

I will say I don't see how accepting a man's infidelity is a powerful statement for women.

No I do not. I do not understand the fascination with Beyonce and Jay Z. I really do not understand why the media often refers to them as Americas royalty.

The last Beyoncé song I heard was "crazy in love".  I know she's had lots of hits since then, but I just haven't been interested.  I love me some good celebrity gossip as much as the next guy, but I just don't care about this whole thing.

I think I am totally lost. You know how some songs have "meanings" to them. I am just not able to read a song for what the deeper meaning is. I don't know what anything means. I think it's not being able to comprehend poetry. I just don't get it or want to get it. It's weird.

I don't know or care who a song is about!

I feel kind of judgy, but I was thinking the same thing. I like Bey and Jay-Z and I'm kind of sad and disappointed.

I didn't see the video but I think it's ridiculous to compare her to Kim K who is famous for exactly nothing. Beyonce is a performer, and I think she's a good one. It's just a matter of taste. 

I feel lost. What song? I don't follow Beyonce or care much about her or her husband. They seem stuck-up.

On the other hand after reading this thread, I do feel like going and looking up Rachael Ray on Facebook and seeing what she's posted recently. 

I like the album and the video and think it is all very artistic. I think Beyonce is talented but don't own any of her albums so am not a huge fan as such. I think she and her message will be important to someone out there.

I liked Madonna as a teenager and got powerful messages from her but she was a showboat for sure. I don't care if the marriage problems are true or false as much as I didn't care if Madonna was going on a Holiday or was like a virgin. I also didn't care who Carly Simon was singing about as to who was vain. I just thought she was singing about 80% of the human population.

Socially I think this video was good as it represented black women through history beautifully. Relationships, divorce etc...all social issues. She also had the mothers of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, and Eric Garner in the video.

If she makes money from this so be it. This is her job. The video would have cost a tonne of money to produce.

Not getting the obsession with her personal life but also not getting the distaste or feigned indifference to what really is an impressive piece of media.

The fact that she and her husband were good friends with Kanye was enough for me to question their intelligence. I mostly listen to country so can't say that I've ever paid any attention to her other than what might pop up on the news.

Yep!

Her target audience may not post here but a lot of women should be able to relate to infidelity. Page 1 alone is indicative of that. Singers have been singing about what's going on in their personal lives since the beginning so why the fuss over Lemonade? Art imitates life and all that.
