Teezy Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 it’s the same cycle of complaints, Prince/Madonna/Tina Turner comparisons, proclamations that you won’t defend her in threads (who cares lol), and then saying you’re done stanning Meanwhile, the world turns and Beyoncé is out doing whatever she wants to do (or not do). The visuals are not coming this year. And they won’t be here in Q1 of 2023 either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes yes he was a musical genius undeniably and he changed music forever but he was a crackpot who alienated the public, lived like Dracula in a windowless box in the middle of nowhere, and whose late-career song titles looked like this Quote "Extraloveable" "Fixurlifeup" "Pretzelbodylogic" "Fallinlove2nite" "Hardrocklover" "This Could B Us" "Free Urself" so she needs to drop the Prince Manifesto immediately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calypso Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 ya'll are short sighted. She has explained this before. I'm glad she found the Prince blueprint because this was the only way she could continue giving her art her all but also getting to spend time with her family and watch her kids grow. I am really happy for her. It is incredible how she is still giving us her best art and continues to grow and learn AND she is able to protect her privacy and spend time with her kids and family. 25 years into her career she has come to the point where she just wants her art to speak for itself and found that balance, I am truly happy for her. I will however, drag her for giving us a teaser almost 12+ weeks ago and nothing since. This is blue balls and trolling and RUDE and where are the performances smh.

Calypso Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 I saw this incredible mini-documentary about the History of Disco and learnt so much about Disco and so much of Renaissance got more context for me!!! It is a great watch but here are the two stand outs for me (these are my deductions the video doesn't talk bey) - 1. THIQUE is spelt like that because of "Discotheques" 2. Renaissance cover is Bey on a horse because of Studio54. Studio 54 is an integral part of Disco's history and its opening marked and ushered in what is called the golden age of Disco. In its opening week, there was a party for Mick Jagger's wife (Bianca Jagger). She has an iconic moment at mid-night when she got on a white horse (which was ushered in by a naked man covered in glitter). The Video - The image - This video made me appreciate the album so much more, including understanding its context better. Also its importance in history, especially for LGBT+ people, particularly black queer people. And its importance and timing right now with increased attacks on trans people made the documentary hit harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want Act II at this point since great music is the only thing we can count on her for anymore. Hee catalogue streams are what's weird. Why is that alluding her team? But apparently everything is at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEAM (featured on "Energy") released his debut album earlier this year, Tems (featured on "Move") doesn't have an album out yet. They are both artists that charted for the first time in 2021. and there's of course Megan Thee Stallion. wait BEAM is a man? I've been under the impression that was a female since I seem to recall reading that all the collabs were with women. I just assumed she had a real deep voice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just assumed she had a real deep voice I don't think it was ever said the collabs would be all women, though perhaps you might be remembering the whole "Beyoncé is running #MeToo background checks for her collaborators" rumor/tabloid piece, which undoubtedly leaves out many men and few (if any) women among her potential collaborators.

The 6 years between Lem and REN wasn’t a good idea. I know the side projects happened, but those didn’t hype anyone. To the GP, she was gone.

ToraeGilt Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 If Beyoncé or her team don’t care why do y’all?

Dreajae Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 1 hour ago, Starshine said: Madonna tried to understand how to keep longevity. She surrounded herself with younger artists/people, saw their pov, kept herself up to date and adapted with the trends even if they may have been below her. I'd say Bey is the opposite. She hasn't been following the trends for over a decade and there IS a trend right now where artists are more "reachable" and personable in a sense. There's less superstars, whatever Jennifer Aniston was complaining about. Her Instagram doesn't really scream "relatable" or even give a glimpse into her life, it's just PR photoshoots from an iPhone and no captions. It hasn't been that was since like 2014. So yes, there is a disconnect there that has been affecting her commercially for years. If you really think about it, she didn't maximize social media at all 2010-2022: Twitter, Insta, etc when every player in the game was. She doesn't really "use" TikTok, which has a gorilla grip on the entire music industry and she is far far away from "stooping that low" or whatever you guys perceive that to be, to even appeal to the newer generation who currently is responsible for Spotify numbers. Like it's clearly showing. She doesn't care and we shouldn't either, but pretending everything is fine and dandy... like shes above everything according to users in here etc etc etc. pls. Eh. Her best wra on social media was 2013-2017. The Tumblr/early Instagram era. Once she went ghost in December 2016 and popped out in February 2016 4/5 months pregnant, it changed. Now I am proud of her for being so open during her second pregnancy but she shut down after that. People have assumed that one of the twins is sicker than the other because of it. None of our business, just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxelFox Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 I'm sorry but she IS above all the social media shennanigans. Insta, twitter, tick tock w/e. Her instagram could not be more on point I always redirect my girl friends to it to get some sense into their heads. It plays in her favor to market herself as an old school type of diva & superstar rather than a 'current' & relatable act. It's wouldn't be Beyonce otherwise tbh. What she is NOT above however is performing her ****. Like get your ass out there and perform your songs ffs, that's literally what your legacy is bulit on. The fact that 3 (three) award shows performances per era has moved into the realm of fantasy for us is just Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only albums we should be expecting numbers from are ST and Lemonade, because who of us feel like listening to I AM Sash Fierce today? Both ST/Lem lack global smashes and Lem just lacks awareness because it was so late to the platform. 4 is still doing amazing for the her big flop album that made her radio poison Anyway let's celebrate that the Crazy in Love (50 shades remix) has 160m despitw her blocking it from streaming services for 2 years during the peak of the films impact. shows you how well a soundtrack song from her can do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
