Lemonjames: A Visual Monologue (Beyoncé Parody)
Inspired by Beyonce's "Lemonade" visual album, James Corden takes his audience on the journey to a Late Late Show monologue.
Everyone has gone a little mad about Beyonce's new visual album Lemonade.
The Beyhive lost their mind, and manners over a line in one song. In "Sorry," Beyoncé makes a reference to “Becky with the good hair,” a woman who, the singer suggests, slept with her husband. (Note: We are not accusing any living person, including Beyoncé's real-life husband, Jay Z, of adultery. For all we know, everything on Lemonade is pure fiction.)
Speculations have led the Beyhive to swarm the Instagram accounts of several women (and one woman’s 16-year-old daughter). The comments are brutal: “A whore and a whore in training.” “Feel the hate you cow.” "Homewrecking side hoe." The usual ugliness by those defending their queen.
Rachel Roy also became a victim on social media. So did Rachael Ray- for some odd reason. Iggy Izalea took offense, calling Beyonce racist (Becky is a derogatory term, urban slang for a lascivious blowjob-loving white woman). Iggy has been called this before on social media.
Whatever you opinion about the album, Beyonce deserves a slow clap for possibly the best marketing release in music history. You could never pay for the insane level of talk that has happened around this album.
This is one of the best responses from a Late Night host yet. James Corden's video is bizarre, very much like Beyonce's!
