That awkward moment when they mistakenly reveal they know stuff about the artist they’re reacting to and try to back track. “I know she’s from Texas but idr the city”. Yah, sure.

Here’s why the performance was iconic. 1) Beyoncé is a Black Woman performing at the CMA’s. This doesn’t happen very often- if ever 2) The song “Daddy Lessons” is from her 6th solo project “LEMONADE” The original version of the song sounds different than the one performed at the CMA’s. While it is still country leaning- the original is less “busy” 3) Beyoncé chose to include The Chicks (formerly known as The Dixie Chicks) because they had been outcast by the country music industry. 4) The Chicks took a stance against Bush going to war in the Middle East back in 2001. In addition to this have many feminist messages in their music and because country music tends to lean conservative- they were ousted by country music media nationwide. This performance marked their return to the awards show. Being invited back by such a legendary artist such as Beyoncé was the only way they were going to get back on that specific stage. 5) There was an outrage by the country music community after this performance as some in that community felt the performance was “pro black”. Because of this, The CMA’s removed the video from their website immediately after its release. It’s hard to find in good quality now.

Lemonade wasn't just about JayZ cheating... It's also politically feuled, and Beyoncé performing country and rock was her way of reappropriating music that was originally black, taking back the power. Also yes Sporto, the Dixie chicks were blackballed by the Country community, which is the very reason why she performed with them. This caused controversy that night and made a whole lotta conservative white people mad, firstly cos she's black and performing country and looked a bit sexy while doing it, and because she chose to do it with the dixie chicks.

I'm sure y'all can tell, but so many people hated this performance. A huge name that is also a Black woman, and the blacklisted dixie chicks really pissed everyone off. There was so much racism as if she doesn't have a country/southern upbringing and as if Black people didn't create the Country genre 🤦🏾‍♀️.

I remember the country fans didn’t want Beyoncé there. I didn’t understand why ,she’s from Texas .

Props to the Dixie chicks but you guys might like the recorded version better! You can hear more of what's going on with the instrumental, and it's only Beyonce singing.

I love how Sporto is such a hive omg🤣 everyone is Beyoncé’s guest, damn right!😭🙌🏽

By the way this performance was a surprise performance and the attendees were not aware that Beyoncé would make a performance

This was such a big deal because black people have been shut out of the country genre with very few exceptions. Growing up as a black man myself while being a country fan, there were plenty of times where I felt out of place. I was so proud of this performance, thank you guys for giving it a shot! It’s no problem at all if it’s not your thing, you guys are cool in my book

Beyonce is from Houston, Texas, 3rd Ward You know I am not entirely sure but I believe Beyonce picked the Dixie Chicks because it was like a come back for them after they were essentially black balled for speaking out against George Bush during his time in office. Additionally, there was a lot of controversy around Beyonce participating in the country music awards for this song because she is not traditionally a country artist. I believe many people compared her situation to Taylor Swift who isn't even from the south and also doesn't confine herself to the country genre but was happily welcomed in to country music community.

Aside from the blue grassy interlude, Daddy Lessons is fully Beyoncé's song and her conquest of the country genre. This is yet another from Lemonade but with more of a New Orleans/ Louisiana twang on the studio track. I think that this fusion was partially because the Dixie Chicks are an accomplished all women group which is natural for Beyonce. I also think this is also partially a big f-you from Beyonce to the music floating heads that don't like recognizing black artists in the country genre especially when that country fuses other genres like Daddy Lessons does (gospel, blues, etc)

A lot of racist country fans were mad about beyonce even though she was the best performance of the night

This country is more blue grass country, has a heavily New Orleans influenced sound, definitely not pop country.

This song is from Beyonce's album Lemonade. She made a surprise appearance at the CMA's and invited The Dixie Chicks to sing with her. Beyonce and The Dixie Chicks are all from Texas and apparently she likes them alot. Yes Beyonce is very particular about who she works with so if they sang a song together that means she chose them. Beyonce runs a tight ship so there are never any leaks of her music or any of her upcoming projects...thats why this was a surprise appearance.

“Young forever/halo” from the on the run tour with her and Jay z. It’s a stunning performance that will give you all the feels...including jealousy because she is very much in love with her husband, I’m so sorry. 😂❤️

Yall should definitely do freedom bet awards beyonce and Kendrick lamar

The closest Bey has gotten to rock is “Don’t Hurt Yourself”

Beyoncé’s “don’t hurt yourself” is the most rock song she has to date. That song is also from Lemonade. I think it’s time that y’all dived into a complete project. I know that it’s hard to react to lemonade due to copyright stuff! However, maybe you could do a review of Lemonade instead and just use different video clips of your likes/dislikes. Another way of course is to chop it up.... I seen a couple successful ones. Most people that I’ve seen usually showed 10 seconds of each video in addition to their favorite line from the poems/ spoken word that’s weaved in between each video. They also paused the video a ton to give their thoughts/ feedback. It’s most definitely gonna be a lot of editing, if you decide to give us your reaction. But it’ll be well worth it

"My daddy warned me about men like you, he said baby girl.... he's playing you" this continues the themes of lemonade. Being married to a man who cheated on her they way her father cheated on her mother.

React to EMOTION live by destiny's child with celine dion. Beyonce kills it in that.

React to "I'd rather go blind" and "all i could do was cry" This two songs are from the movie that she played as Etta James. I will blow your mind.

It's quite entertaining watching your guys' utter confusion about anything at all even after searching on google 😂

No matter the music the commentary is what I tune in for. This was gut busting hilarious. I screamed from the moment Sporto said what are they doin with the queen and it didn’t stop there!!! The Michelle Pfeiffer reference along with the dancing!!! I think the thing that kept me screaming and had me literally in tears was how your faces lit up over the sax guy and the debate if it was was really him!! I swear for the entire video not only was I laughing but talking to the screen as if I was there!! I just couldn’t keep it together!!! Thank you!!! ❤️❤️❤️

I definitely prefer Beyonce singing this alone but I like that she included them. Too bad there were so many racist reactions to this performance.

Now you can react a Beyoncé- Run The World (live Billboard Award)

Fun fact man this was the highest CMA performance in the shows history and simply because Beyonce is a African American they took the video off their website and even blackballed the Dixie chics. So not only did she give them the highest ratings ever they basically said “thank you for your services” you’re dismissed. To one of the most legendary people of all time. A woman who can get that whole show shut down (seriously) and as a reactor myself I seriously fuck with you guys the most man. Real genuine reactions I’m just commenting as a fan lol

Daddy lesson is a song for Lemonade album and Beyoncé I don’t know before or after this performance she and the girls band recorded a new version together and yes B is from Huston Texas

The audio in this performance isn’t the best, I would suggest listening to the original album version on lemonade or the remixed studio version re-recorded with the Dixie chicks to get better comprehension of what’s going on

You guys should do the “Freakum Dress live ( I am...World Tour) “ for the next bey reaction. Theres a good guitar solo in there I think you guys would appreciate :) Great reaction btw love your vids!

Fun fact she was pregnant with the twins during this performance.

Don't Hurt Yourself is probably the most rock you'll get from Bey as of now. You guys might would like to check out her VMA performance in 2016. It was a live Lemonade Medley!

Love that every time she says "put your hands together" you start clapping

I wish Beyoncé will see their reactions one day

"More Beyonce, less Dixie Chicks" Same Sporto. Same....

you guys should put a beyonce photo on the background, now you're part of the hive! 🐝

Yes that's Garth Brooks and the woman on his left is his wife Tricia Yearwood😊

React to Beyoncé “listen” LIVE at Oprah show 2006

This is Beyoncé song but the Dixie Chicks covered it. The CMAs always has these types of performances where a country act and someone from another genres of music perform together. Chris Stapleton and Justin Timberlake performed together the year before.

yeah, there was a lot going on & if i hadn't heard the original, i would very much dislike this song lol weird how not even B can make me like country music. love the reaction btw - you guys were hilarious

So the CMA’s have done these cross over performances recently to try and boost viewership. Normally it’s a pop star and country star kind of mixing their songs. The original song Daddy’s Lessons didn’t have the Dixie Chicks but they re-recorded the song for the awards show and she choice them because of their history of being vocal about certain issues. As stated before lots of people didn’t want Beyonce there because of her stance on Police Brutality and other issue and the Dixie Chicks had been blackballed for awhile in country music because of comments about George Bush so it was really like a big F U to the country music world and conservatives as a whole.

Okay but I’m STILL waiting for “listen” at Oprah world been done ended before I get it 😂

React to "Flawless remix" Beyonce ft Nicki Minaj

Bey was actually pregnant with her twins Rumi and Sir during this performance

Beyoncé is from Houston and she’ll remind you in every other song lol

I think if you guys would like to react to the original song before or after reacting to the live version we wouldn't mind so that you can understand the song better

Please react to Beyonce 'All night' live on tidal x. Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee

Folks forget Black Americans are the pioneers of every single American music genre.

Watch Beyoncé by herself the original video

That's what you guys get. You should've done Beyonce acoustic "Halo" performance at the hospital lmao

If you want vocals react to “Listen” on Oprah Live!!!

Whew i remember when this happened white people were so angry! That a black woman was performing on a country award stage, even tho she is from the country. Just crazy!

❤️ the reaction videos. You guys should do either “Why don’t you love me” or “Grown Woman”. Both high energy, fun AMAZING performances.

React to Beyoncé's performance of "Listen" live on Oprah. It is amazing!

Beyoncé 2017 Grammys performance and 2016 all night tidal performance. She was pregnant with twins at both

The part u think was a mistake was just Beyonce blowing a kiss to the crowd and the song is Beyoncé’s she had the Dixie Chicks added

Lol no mistake she was just blowing a kiss

React to Beyoncé crazy in love video and ring the alarm video

The recorded version is sooooooo much better😍and y’all reactions are so real love it!!😄

Texas hold em brought me here 😂

I wish Chris Stapletone and Beyonce did a collab together. Some kind of blues or bluegrass song.

The Chicks performed Beyoncé's songs Daddy Lessons on their 2016 tour. Beyoncé asked The Dixie Chicks to back her up at the 2016 CMAs.

Again I like before I even watch. Y'all giving the people what we deserve 😍

Long story short, the Dixie Chicks criticized Former President George W. Bush and some American's lost their minds when these women expressed their Freedom of Speech. Sending them death threats and telling them they are "un-American". Beyonce, knew she might not be well received at the Country Music Awards and chose a group to perform with her that stands up for what they believe in despite controversy. Also, PLEASE PLASE PLEASE review Beyonce's original music video for her song titles "Pretty Hurts". I'm very interested in your POV.

"I want more Beyoncé and less Dixie Chicks" That's what everybody thought when they watched this 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Sporto's the voice of the hive lol Anyway funny as always, thanks guys, and you should listen to the original studio song About why she wanted this: I think since she's from Texas she probably loves country music and wanted to bring her "blackness" in it as a black artist, since it's traditionally white music. But I'm not american so I'm sorry if I'm saying something wrong

Sporto already knows how it works. She comes on stage everyone else is HER guest🤣🤣

I hope when Bey releases her B7 album you guys still alive to react 😂😭 it's been 4 years since she dropped her last studio album

Can you guys react to music from Beyonce's first album Dangerously in love

The Dixie Chicks voices don’t sound good following Beyoncé’s voice

Keep reacting to Beyonce!

I'm the first 👋 👋 👋 👋 👋 👋

The "Chicks" changed their name from "The DIXIE Chicks" because of the historical/ cultural reference to "Dixie".

8.59 she's just blowin' a kiss, boys EDIT if she ever messed up, we'd be the last one's to know about it

Irreplaceable at Glastonbury please 🙏 Crazy in love at the Beyoncé experience 🙏

Sporto's face when he said "she glows" HUAHUAHUAHUAHUAHUAHUA You should react to the complete album Lemonade, it's really great 💖

Please, react to Homecoming! Do it in parts here on youtube..

the crowd went INSANE at the end

Fun Fact; Bey was pregnant here with the twins and no one knew lol. This is right after her Formation tour

Do the album version if you don't like this one

I love the constant annoyance with each other 😂

You should react to beyonces sister Solange Knowles “Don’t Touch My Hair”

3:17 "Beyoncé is from Texas though, I know that" 💛😉🤠✨... Watching you guys since the first B reaction video, I know we would get you into the Hive. Here we are. Welcome. #BeyHive 💛🐝

Beyonce on the Kennedy Center Honors, tribute to Tina Turner. Very good, and bonus President Bush almost jumps out of his seat when he sees her.

Yes, that’s the crazy sax guy

Yes, that is Garth Brooks and his wife, Trisha Yearwood.

Okay I'm from Houston, Texas so she is representing! She had to make the Texas shoutout haha

the reason The Chicks invited Beyonce to the CMAs was because there was a controversy about "Daddy said shoot" song where the CMAs didn't consider it a country song because of who Beyonce was. The Chick did a cover of the song sang it exactly the same way to prove it was in fact was country music and should have been put up for an award. So this performance of the song was a big middle finger to the CMAs. The CMAs did the same thing to little Nas X by not considering "Old Town road" a country song and celebrities helped him with the collaborations Billie Ray Cyrus. The Chicks formally known as the Dixie Chick have been very political, and dropped Dixie from their name because it refers to the racist Antebellum slave owning south of old.

Lmao you guys are hilarious

You guys are so entertaining 😂

Please REACT to Beyoncé listen on the oprah show

Love this song

Frekum Dress Live, I am World Tour!

Beyonce is from Houston Texas, and she created this country song for her father that she went through alot with

The fact this, Hold Up and Don’t Hurt Yourself are from the same album is kind of mind blowing! She did this remix for this special surprise performance for the CMA to troll the people in attendance I guess lmao (and her goal for that era was to perform EVERY songs from Lemonade on award/televised shows) I think you should do De Javu live at BET for your next vid! That is one of her best performance EVER. Always enjoy your reaction! Cheers

by the way, Bey had been already pregnant with twins on that award

‘She’s like an angel’ 🥺🥰

Forever young Beyonce and Jay z live please, waiting for some time now 🙏

I THINK because she was not welcoming there with the others woman's she made country music five years later. PAID BACK.(SMILE).

I personally think you guys are listening to the wrong songs/performances of Beyonce for the first time. I would love for you to listen to more of her ballads whether they’re from live performance or studio versions. I gave you a list of great songs with amazing lyrics but for some reason people are requesting a lot of her sexual songs/videos for your reactions to them, but I would love to see y’all focus on her voice and lyrics more as an introduction to Beyonce. Here is my list AGAIN… love the channel: ~Beyonce - I Was Here (Live at Roseland) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qLJ8rc59tJ63mGg.html ~Beyonce - I Was Here (Live Performance THE Official Music Video) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n5phpLp7m7fOgH0.html ~Beyonce - If I Were A Boy (Music Video) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d72gprKizZ7VYIE.html I know you guys heard (If I Were A Boy) song before , but the music video and meaning behind it IS great ~Beyonce - Dangerously In Love (Live at The Grammys) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kMucdcdl0JzPYmQ.html It’s also the title on her solo debut album. She won 5 Grammy Awards that night. ~Beyonce - Best Thing You Never Had (Music Video) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fK6gZa6Y3re5dp8.html ~Beyonce - Love On Top (Music Video) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hchnqbKT06y5epc.html Love On Top is not a ballad but it shows her vocal range ~Beyonce - Love On Top (Live at VMAs) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iN-BmJeK05-6YGw.html There’s a surprise at the end!!!! This is SOME of my personal favorites. Hive, add to the list of her best vocal performances

Epic Sax Guy is the sax player from the group Sunstroke Project, who represented Moldova at Eurovision 2010 and 2017. The meme is from their 2010 performance, though the 2017 is also memorable! Maybe you should also fall into the Eurovision rabbia hole ahahah

Pleaseee react to Beyoncé “Ring the Alarm”
