Formation


In the song Formation, Beyoncé showed a different side of her that most people would never think of. Beyoncé took music to a whole new level because of her powerful meaning of the song. The song Formation is all about black community, and politics. The lyric of this song has deep meanings, which makes the song even more powerful. This side of Beyoncé reminds me a lot about Nina Simone. The song formation was something new to a lot of people, and something people were not expecting, however, many do not feel comfortable with the song, and many loved it. People who do not like the idea of the song, may not like the fact that she performed it at the super bowl, do not like parts of the music video, do not find it necessary, or do not feel comfortable with the song in general. Meanwhile, others love everything about it. In my opinion, those who do not like the song for the reasons I mentioned most likely cant relate to anything in the song, or isn’t touched by it. I can honestly say I love what Beyoncé did. She was not afraid to come out and do something different, or afraid of showing who she really is deep down, and where she comes from.

  1. I agree with you, especially the part where you mentioned that she's proud of who she is! It's very influential, and I admire her for doing that. Everyone should be comfortable in their own skin and I'm glad she's promoting that.

  2. I too liked how she was not afraid to speak out about her own her cultural identity that makes her who she is today. I also I agree with your point on how most people cannot relate to her song so therefore, may not have a real understanding of what they have gone through.
