Mariano Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 The way I started a whole ass mess just cuz I disagreed with something You can say Bey is the best If you believe so, but the statement that "nobody puts in the work" is is objectively wrong when you have other performers who work extremely hard too It rubbed me the wrong way not cuz Bey doesn't deserve this, she is legendary. And I had innocent intentions, why did it have to escalate like that. Y'all are something else. OT: Legend, deserves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eternium Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Despite a few missteps, she was easily the most interesting touring artist of the 2010s. On top of that, she was such an active part of the touring community and supported the tours of her fellow artists. She deserves the award Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L.B GAGA Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Well deserved. Gaga's shows are not as well polished as most of her music and music videos of late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if someone works just as hard, but the outcome isn’t of the same quality and consistency… is it talent? Vision? The same argument could be said for athletes. There’s nothing subjective about the differences in her performances as a whole relative to others. Even if everyone “puts in the same amount of work.” Not even trying to argue just trying to understand your logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Formation tour is forgotten about already. I had to Google the name of Beyonce's mid-2010s tour to remember what it was even called. let's not even get started on how much more money TBA tour earned.

To begin with her performances aren't comparable to P!nk's or Gaga's or Madonna's Y'all just like anything that looks more polished, Gaga sitting on the piano and belting or doing a theatrical performance is something Bey cannot do. P!nk flying through the air and singing live is another thing Bey can't/doesn't do. Gaga and P!nk can't do what Bey does. It's subjective and no "puts in the work" doesn't mean = best. If they said Bey is the best performer I wouldn't quote them cuz Beyonce is one of the best of ALL time obviously and I agree hence why I love her lol. It's not that deep I mean I literally said that a lot of girls work extremely hard and saying Bey works harder than others is not true.

Quenn Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 The best live act of all-time. First Black female to achieve such a feat. She truly is the definition of a LIVING LEGEND.

Both of these legends viciously STOMP on your pitiful fad fave, who hasn't had a $100M tour since 2012, almost 10 years ago.

If she didn't get fibromyalgia and had to cancel the rest of her shows, we'd would have passed $100 million easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the Pollstar website description about what they accept as a touring report, but not sure that they used festivals and random performances numbers to this lists tbh. For example, Gaga won Pop category while Taylor, Pink and Celine grossed more than her. Bon Jovi won Rock while The Rolling Stones and U2 grossed more than them. Bruno won hip-hop/r&b while Jay-Z grossed more than him. It clearly wasn't box office-weighted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
