Everybody saying they miss the old Beyoncé, but she wouldn't be near as iconic as she is now if she had kept doing the same shit she did 10 or even 20 years ago.
True. Singers grow, so their art needs to evolve
When a woman shows she can be more than just a pretty face, the bigots will say they loved the old one
Wtf is the "old beyonce" mean anyway?
exactly she grows as an artist
PERIOD
5 years ago today, #Beyonce released “Formation.” The track was met with universal critical acclaim and sparked conversation on race relations in the US. It went on to win a Grammy Award, six VMAs and become a cultural phenomenon - ranking as the most Googled song of 2016.

Well, at least we know what your example of a black woman is. God makes me proud to be who I am and I'm glad that I follow him.
@user-zw4sh6jl9j you follow someone you have never seen or heard? Truly inspirational
@@user-zw4sh6jl9j congratulations?
i am a Muslim Pakistani who went through a horrible divorce at 19 years of age. She was the only one i would listen to and put in my earpods and get away from the patriarchal religiously acceptable bullshi** women face. She was the only one that made sense to me when the my whole world was upside down. So grateful t God for Beyonce
@@sarakhalid7583 Really, she made sense to you? Wow! I went through a bad marriage and finally left him (basically running). I left my abuser because God had been telling me to leave all along. I was packing to leave, and started thinking maybe it's wrong because til death do us part. so I should stay until things get better. But I heard another voice say, this is not the man I chose for you, this is the man, you chose for yourself. When I left it was nothing but God who got me through. I'm glad you were able to get away but religion is only part of our lives. If you disagree with some practices of your religion, it's unfair to point the finger at everyone just because you want to follow someone like Beyonce who doesn't go to church and wanted fame more than a high school diploma. Beyonce is not satisfied with herself. Having her nose surgery, lightening of the skin is not someone who secured with her own image. The cursing, gyrating and this is the person who gave you inspiration? Yeah, we in trouble, Lord, we are in trouble because the Devil is busy.But, everyone can't see it. some will make it and some will stray to the other side. Lord, another one drank the Kool-Aid.
Watching this again and seeing Blue on tour w/Beyonce now….I hadn’t quite realized how young she was and how fast time has moved since. During the Renaissance tour currently, Beyoncé brings out Blue right after this song, in which they proceed to perform during all of the songs & interlude that remind you to love & believe in yourself & your culture the most (“My Power” “Alright” “Black Parade”). Bey knows exactly what she’s doing. And it’s beautiful to witness. Love her and her family forever.
A lot of people consider this song to be anti-white but I'd like to consider it pro black. Some white people like to think blacks showing pride in their race means they are trying to downgrade whites. That is simply not the case. It is just black people being proud of their heritage and culture and where they come from. I do not see what is wrong with that
As someone who is white and Native, it's really a shame to see how much white people seem to think that pro-this automatically means anti-that. Just look at BLM. I'm pro-BLM, but that certainly doesn't make me anti-police. Or how they seem to think pro-choice also means pro-abortion. It's ridiculous. Brings a whole new meaning to black-and-white.
Petty King it's because they're intimidated 🙄 and now they feel like they have to get offended and bring everyone down a notch.
Exactly, not ONCE did she say anything negative about white people. She's proud of herself and her people. You hit the nail on the head with this description :)
Petty King im not trying to start a race war on youtube but almost every thing Pro-Black is thought the worng wat and is called Anti- White
Petty King this is the truest thing I've ever heard
This is when Beyonce started to care less about charts and sales, but more about ART!!!
She has always cared about art and made that point clear from the beginning. The hive knows. She just grew and evolved so well as an artist.

"Formation" was actually released in 2016 as part of Beyoncé's "Lemonade" album. It's a powerful anthem that celebrates black culture, empowerment, and resilience. The song, with its bold lyrics and striking visuals, sparked conversations about race, feminism, and social justice. Even though it's been a few years since its release, "Formation" remains a cultural touchstone, continuing to inspire and provoke thought.
Very few women have done what Beyonce has . I love her confidence, individuality, and authenticity! She knows what she is doing and what others should be doing- love it!!!
She is the Madonna of this generation
Facts !!! Not 1 lie told
AND WHAT HAS SHE DONE! Please tell me. Very few have done what? There's nothing that I can think of that Beyonce has done that's original that I haven't already seen before. I talking about talent, not an award that collects dust or that she's in competition for with Taylor Swift. What has she done that I can say that people have copied and SHE Made it trending.
@@user-zw4sh6jl9j you clearly don't know what you are talking about. do some research before you talk shit about some of the greatest artist this world has ever seen. Beyoncé is one of the most innovative artists we have ever seen; with self-titled, lemonade, renaissance and cowboy carter in particular. so i suggest you either get in to it or shut up about things you know nothing about.
Can’t believe it’s been a whole 5 years since Beyoncé dropped Lemonade. Such a timeless album
Right!
@Jon Purisima its crazy to think she’s gonna top herself yet again... we all thought Self Titled would be her peak but right after that we got Lemonade and the Formation tour
I was too young and naive to understand it. And it just waited for me to get it one day.

To do WHAT? Please tell me what Beyonce has done that I've NEVER seen before? Please tell me Because if you say songs and dance then I've seen that before and SHE doesn't dance. SHE TWERKS! She's not going to get down dancing like a Janet, Ciara, Chris Brown, Usher or Victoria Monae. But aside from that what has she done that I can call it a Beyonce thing. Tell me something that she has done ALL her own and created. I would like to know and you can't cheat by naming something she's done that was already done by the Jacksons. PLEASE TELL ME, maybe I'm missing something.
Nobody is QUEEN OF music, it's too many people with talent and artist who have creative talent. Beyoncé just have good marketing people that work for her, like Whitney Houston did. Until we all found out that Whitney was a powerhouse of a singer but would take a liquor bottle and threaten you with it and fight in a minute. Didn't 50 Cents confirm that Beyoncé is different outside that stage. But, he didn't have to convince me, she was always the ghetto one in Destiny's Child.

urgent!! I was a trans woman and I was a prostitute and I also married several men and I was not happy. I traveled to many countries in search of happiness, I even sought happiness in drugs and drinking, it was a way I tried to fill the void in my heart. One day I was in my apartment in Rio de Janeiro in Ipanema with a guy, so I sent him away and talked to God to show me if hell was real. So I left and my soul left my body and I saw terrible things, souls falling into despair with a look of anguish and pain. they asked me for help and I saw the devil take the souls of those people. I heard screams, crying and despair. It was horrible. I saw my grandfather who died of a heart attack because he was an alcoholic and my grandfather died drunk. was there to drag him was terrible. I also saw a woman and a man who died here in Brazil in a fire in a nightclub called Kiss. the woman danced on her tortured nails, her gaze desperate. then I returned to earth and called a friend and my mother and told them what I had seen in hell. Today I am sure that hell is real and terrible. I have given my life to Jesus Christ, I read the Christian Bible, I follow the commandments of the Lord Jesus Christ, and I look forward to the return of Jesus Christ because I know that I will live in heaven with Jesus Christ. I cut my hair, removed the silicone and today I live assuming my original identity as a boy. I'm not a trans woman anymore because I know that's a sin and I know that there are sinners in hell who commit sins against God, whoever commits sin pleases the devil and when he dies he goes to hell! Jesus Christ loves you. accept Jesus Christ while you are alive. because if you die without Jesus Christ you will suffer eternally in hell. here is terrible!!!ooiuyewsx

I dont understand why there's a lot of people hating her for what she's doing. She's not a porn star, she's not a media attention seeker, she doesn't boast her life online about how rich she is, the media does that for her, whether it's true or not. I like the creative ideas that she brings with her music, that's all we should appreciate. It's insane how many white people hate her & some black people think she's overrated. Get a life, damn.
havake I mean there's nothing wrong with thinking she's overrated. I like her far more talented sister and can't fathom why she's more famous.
Both sisters are so different with their work, but both equally talented & beautiful. Everyone's entitled to their opinions yes, but my point is she's not doing anything wrong, she's encouraging younger generations to stand up for themselves black/white through music and her visual creations, she's more famous because of destiny's child & years of experience, Solange went through a lot of shit as everyone knows being a young mother, finally found herself musically during seat at my table, I'm sure Bey is more prouder than Solange is of herself & she is very protective of Bey, behind the fame & fortune their is genuine love. I personally think Beyonce' don't give a F about the fame, given a global platform to voice on for the sake of making the world a better place, even if it means fxcking up a few things, if I was in her shoes, I certainly wouldn't. She represented the southern culture in this video, all in all if I was Messy Mya, I'd probably be annoyed too, but humbled at the fact she doing the black america culture proud by showing the world America or white privileged americans, do not define african americans as the abomination of the earth.
ok that's fucked up i'm white and i like her so you can shut the fuck up about whites what are your guys problem with us whites some of us aren't complete douche bags

LemonJuice she actually does. She's played herself so much ever since 4 flopped due to its leak...
Guillem Gamell she isn't a flop tho. lol her album has a 92 rating and the best album of 2016
Ffh Ffhns if she isn't a flop how come she's only sold 2M in a year and Adele has sold 20M?🤗
Ffh Ffhns i know but that means that her music is excellent and that is just tea. 4 was leaked a month before its release and it became her lowest-selling album. I would've gone multi-platinium in the US... and ever since she's played herself but managed to have the best selling album by a black female this decade with BEYONCÉ (6.9M in pure sales and 9M SPS) and Lemonade is the best selling album of 2016 so she ISN'T a flop, not to mention Te Formation World Tour grossed 260M from 49 shows. But i mean, if she did the promo right, Lemonade would be at 5/6M by now even tho 2016 has the worst sales climate ever, but it is at 3M by now... and Formation could've turned into a HUGE WW smash hit. She's playing herself.
The day this video was released was the day my daughter was born. I’ll never forget it. Now we sing to it! This song and “Clover Cage - Warr Is Only Won With Love” are the two songs keeping me sane through these tough times. I just want to send love to everyone and I want everyone to know things will get better. We are in this together..I love you ❤️

She always advocated for women and human rights in ever song she writes. I fully support her
@Night Skies lol what was your point for responding if you read and understood the post.
@Night Skies this song talk about afro feminism too
She is simply a Queen. Theres no other way to say it.
She's the whole fucking monarchy
She the whole kingdom
she’s actually god
Exactly
She just ain’t a queen she the queen👑
favourite beyonce track! so powerful lyrics, dancin, facial expressons and cinematography. ON POINT.
She is phenomenal and has such a huge body of work, but I think this will be the one she is remembered for❤
This song NEVER gets old & bumps just as hard!! Who agrees with me?
Meeeeeee!
Me!
Just Love me !
Just Love meeeee
me
beyonce has this strange talent of taking weird ass noises and turning them into a good ass beat 💯
pepe the frog she didn’t produce this lol
yes she did
💯✔ much 💙 from New Orleans
Mike Will Made It would find opposition to this statement.
pepe the frog that would be her producer but yeah homegirl has a legendary empire of a team working for her
Beyonce Beyonce, your record lemonade was an inspiration to me. Beyonce it truly was it made me cry Beyonce.😢💔🌏
Beyoncé is the queen of music and will continue to be.
Maddie Clark yass
to bey
We don't know the future
Maddie Clark actually Madonna is but hey why not
-N Madonna isn't as a good vocalist and performer as Queen Bee
BEYONCE FOR PRESIDENT 2020
Ana Cristina Scigliani hell no
Ana Cristina Scigliani then we would have a president that's in the Illuminati
Ana Cristina Scigliani then it would be : Beyonce VS Kanye West
Tykiara Davis better than a racist
Elise Freire beyonce wins
When this came out I was homeless, on drugs, and then jail. I now have a house, job, and husband. This song and “Clover Cage - The Chess Piece” are the two songs that helped get rid of my depression. I just want to send love to everyone and I want everyone to know things will get better. We are in this together..I love you ❤️🎉
every second has a message, though time around I tried to decode it. its Beyoncé! her majesty! when I think of the choreo, the visual, the illustration, the vocals, the harmony, the rhythm, It gets me down the spine every time. a mother and wife capable beyond the limits, unstoppable despite the things that unfolded which is supposedly partially the scent of the album. little have I seen a perfection of this extent, an icon of our times. This diva right here is incomparable. one of one, number one, the only one. long may she reign!
This makes me so proud to be a black girl 💁🏿💓💓
Shaawty Lopes u go girl!!!! Be proud of who u are !! ❤️❤️❤️lots of luv xx
Shaawty Lopes Why don't you go to africa and be proud there?
Trump Donald What The Fuck Is Wrong With You Im Black And I Live In America and I Love My Race I Don't Know Who You Think You Are Talking To Like That But You really So Need To Sop Being A Racist Ugly Ass Son Of A Bitch
Geletew Mengistu I was trying to read your comment out loud but Beyonce started to sing again so i just left it
*you
I don't care if you're a Beyonce fan or not, if you respect hard work, determination, drive, ambition and hustle, then you GOTTA respect Bey!!!
That's beautifuly said
i don't have to respect anyone
@@MadeleineLouiseDiRosa ok?? Then don't. Sound like a child complaining, saying "I don't wanna!!"😂😂
@@jeffthealpacaisyourdad385 i will not
@@MadeleineLouiseDiRosa actually you do babe, at leat that you don’t want the people to respect you back
The studio where Beyonce recorded this song probably caught on fire afterwards.
Right
to me,this is the best song on lemonade album, that's why I'm surprised that it didn't get more millions of views more,cause beat is hot and u got one of the most beautiful woman in the world
5 H dam ur a close second to Beyonce,ur georgeous Nena,from the Bronx,NY.thanks for comment
Waldo Waldo the reason is that this video had already been uploaded on youtube by a fake channel, not by beyoncèVEVO... now I think it has been deleted but I saw the video on that channel, and there were about 200 million views.
THIS VIDEO CAME OUT IN APRIL. SHE JUST POSTED IT 3 WEEKS AGO, EVERYONE HAS SEEN IT ON TIDAL, HBO AND ITUNES FOR 7 MONTHS.
This video came out on February 6th. Everyone saw it on her website, bought it on TIDAL, watched one that someone else posted, or saw the one that she had private. She made it public because it was nominated for the Grammys.
+eura29 you don't know nothing about music
the fact people were mad that her daughter had a afro is sad Thanks for all the likes
what's wrong with having afro?
@@lal330 nothing
Also the incident where two reporters/journalists mocked Blue Ivy's looks. Said things like she gon grow up and get a surgery like Kylie Jenner. I got nothing against anyone getting surgeries, everyone should do whatever makes them feel like a bawse. But that comment was slightly funny. The bodily features on which those people's surgeries were based on (features = lips/breasts/butt/whatever) are the natural features that majority of black women have. lol.
If they dont leave her THE FUDGE alone (i wanted to cuss so bad) BLACK WOMEN OR BLACK GIRLS can NEVER be great with these mfs around! We cant never do nun!
@@epsilonlove9867 Preach the truth
She even included her beloved daughter Blue Ivy 💖💖💖💖💖💖
Legitimately, the Greatest music video of all time with no exaggeration
these comments are very interesting...this video/song is not about hating cops or "attacking white people" its a song about being unapologeticly black and being proud of it and the cop scene is not about attacking the police its about letting them know that were tired being shot for no reason... he puts his hands up as a metaphor as in "my hands are up why do you still shoot?" I feel like this song is my anthem as in "im black and proud"😊✊
Kiheem Ayers she's getting sued , this song is copied
Ayshish B She's getting sued for sampling someone voice. Not copying
Ayshish B How is that relevant? Does that cause the song to lose Its meaning?
Kiheem Ayers thanks so much for this comment, there so many damn haters who assume and make up the stupidist crap !
Kiheem Ayers It's also about hoodoo Conjuring/ spirituality but most individual don't know because most people are still sleep and not spiritually awakened I say s*** about religion I'm talking about spirituality because religion and spirituality are two different things religion is about hatred towards racism and homosexuals but spirituality is about the truth. When it comes to the spiritual realm there is no such thing as racism and homophobia. Racism and homophobia is what man don't like not the spirits and the spiritual realm. Remember that all you homophobia heterosexuals. KNOWLEDGE OF THD HIDDEN 🔯
This is so unapologetically BLACK, and I’m here for it.💁🏾♀️
Still one of my favorite songs/videos!!! We need a video for Black Parade!!!!
If you know the Choreography, you’ve achieved your potential in this world. 💁🏽♂️

What?
i know it ✨
I am a freshman in college and this is part of our homework, my professor seriously linked this video on his website for us to watch because we are starting a unit on pop culture in relation to the human psyche and struggle. If that doesn't tell you how iconic her music is idk what does
I'm a master's student. On Wednesday, my professor is having my graduate seminar watch the entire Lemonade film in class. Beyonce's work is seriously going to be remembered as one of our era's most iconic pieces of literature.
Ohmygod, what subject is that? what career are you studying?
Same here. Homework on cultural studies, issues of ideology and representation. ICONIC!!!
It's one of the set pieces in the whole UK for A levels, too!
Same here, we are supposed write a response paper on her work for a pop culture course.
the little boy dancing in front the police will always hit the heart
Besttt revenge is your paper💅
This song will never get old
that pøppy maybe a year later
It is already old, like a couple of months old. More than 6 months maybe? You know I am more than 34 years old. Listening to this song is like listening to a baby. You know what I mean? Do you like babies? I think they are cute, so innocent and so sweet. I wanna have babies like crazy! :)
+Reijo Piippula bro wtf
Agreed
agreed
Stop worrying about the views and likes. Dont be superficial. The message reached everyone and that's what truly matters.
I think the same!
Camila G but... come on she sabotages herself and it's beyond bizarre & it's frustrating as a fan.
LadyiSh09 what do you mean sabatoge?
Slay

Happy birthday lemonade 🎉🎉🍋🍋🍋
