Huge improvement on the original. Not that it took much.

lol Holly
I don’t hate the cover idea, I like the idea of a male singing it, but James sounds more than a little rough. Especially knowing he was capable of great vocals, though he always had instincts I didn’t care for.
I’ve seen him praising the song and Beys move to country since the song released so this doesn’t come out of left field for me.

It's the white-washing for me... So a white artist can't sing a black artist's song ever? How so you feel about Beyonce singing Jolene on her new album? Would that be black-washing Dolly Parton? Gotta love how it's liberals in 2024 that push for segregation. If you would have took just 2 minutes to go to James Otto's fb page you would have seen how he loves Bey's version and actually reached out to her and wants to record a version together. But I got it James Otto is white. White man = Bad.

You must not have been around to see Luke Combs cover Tracy Chapman, and have his version go on to win Song of the Year at the CMAs, nor the performance of “Fast Car” at the 2024 Grammy Awards where Luke and Tracy sang the song together and he celebrated her and let her take the lead. In any case, I’m quoting this post to let you know I’ve reported it to the staff for trying to derail this thread into something political. We don’t need politics in the country forums. But while I’m here, I want to also express how comical it is that you think everyone here thinks “white people = bad.” You want to be oppressed so badly, don’t you? Let me tell you something: It’ll never happen. You can’t oppress the oppressor.

I was responding to the poster who is accusing James Otto of “White Washing”? That’s a political / Racial statement as well which has no place on these country forums. I could care less who sings what….I was taking exception to him attacking Otto for no reason. You also just said in your last sentence that that white people are oppressors….Who’s making political statements now? 🤔

This man was making a whole lot of assumptions about my character based on a liiiiiittle bit of snark so whatever. I'm not gonna lose sleep over this lol. But I will say; if you need a white man to cover a black woman's song to make it palatable to you, maybe you shouldn't be throwing around accusations of racism 'cause that sounds to me like the call is coming from inside the house.

Crazy how far technology has come in this world. As for the Beyonce version I actually have come to really enjoy it it’s really catchy and she sounds great on it. I still don’t love that it’s at country radio but if it got number one there I don’t think I’d complain. I really can’t believe I’ve come to love this song but I’ve learned not to hate a song right away just because it’s by a pop singer. Sorry to all of you guys for judging this too soon.

If stations are gonna play a literal pop song, “Thinkin’ Bout Me” by Wallen nonstop, I don’t wanna hear a word from them as to if this one is “country” or not. Lol

Glad she at least was able to scrape top 30 off the hype alone, but I knew it wouldn't go much further since Bey doesn't do promo and country radio really still requires that effort be put in to get a song up the charts. Bummed that it also probably means this is it for the era at the country format, too. Would love to see another single pushed, but it likely wouldn't do much of anything at this point since again, no real promo.
