When Beyonce took the stage at the CMA’s with The Dixie Chicks, there were a lot of people who were shocked to see the R&B artist at a country music awards show. Beyonce doesn’t do anything close to country music. One country music legend, Alan Jackson, reportedly got up and walked out!
A Nashville manager commented about the performance, saying, “The overall show was great, but in my opinion, that seemed out of place and felt forced. It just didn’t fit the night to me, celebrating the 50 years, and the Dixie Chicks seemed like her backup band on it, without enough of a real shout-out to them. I was sitting behind Alan Jackson, and he actually stood up from the front row and walked out in middle of the performance, so I think that spoke volumes for the traditional, real country acts.”
It is an understandable sentiment. There is nothing wrong with keeping music genres separated. People want their country music. People want their rock and roll. People want their R&B. There is no point in trying to make up some kind of homogeneous product that record executives can sell to everybody! In the video below, Alan Jackson honored Randy Travis at the Country Music Hall of Fame. Randy is a true country star, not some wanna be like Beyonce.
Or there’s another simple solution: Beyonce could do a country song at least.
At the 2023 CMA Awards, former hip hop artist Jelly Roll took the stage – because he’s making country music! And speaking of Jelly Roll, he really took country to heart. While accepting an award, he went “full tent revival” as one commenter pointed out:
And speaking of Jelly Roll, he really took country to heart. While accepting an award, he went “full tent revival” as one commenter pointed out: Beyonce is talented enough, she could do country. But until she does…
Country fans are not going to allow Beyonce to be force fed down their throats. Beyonce is not a country musician and Alan Jackson isn’t about to allow her to pretend to be one on TV! The CMAs are for country musicians, not R&B or pop music!
What do you think? Tell others about it. Was Alan Jackson right to walk out? Should the anniversary of country music have paid more attention to country music legends instead of trying to have somebody famous pretend they like country music?
