BeyBronts Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 (edited) Part of my work involves driving out into the country, sometimes 3-4 hours into the outback. This landscape looks a lot like what was shown in the video teaser Bey dropped before THE and 16c - vast open plains, red sand & mountain ranges in the distance. I had the most enjoyable listen to CC ever last week while on one of these drives. I was blasting it from the ute, windows down, feeling like I WAS the visuals baby Of course giving all the horses along the way a shoutout too Edited April 20 by BeyBronts 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cbreezy Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 The Stagecoach rumors are interesting. I'd much rather she had some mammoth surprise BeyChella-like set up her sleeve, hence the silence, snatched body etc than walking out for a "quick lil moment" with Post Malone or whoever. In fact, granted anything can happen, I actually think something BIG and ALL-OUT is the **only way** she'd even do it. Bey is super meticulous and a perfectionist. Post Malone, while unproblematic, can be a bit of a messy performer (it's his performance style), so her popping up for his set and in his setup doesn't scream Bey in 2024. Plus, and I hate dipping into the elitism of it all, Bey is the type of big where it's to "his" benefit to be a "guest" during "her" set. Not so much the other way around. Imagine having a whole Beyonce tip out for your set and then what...the show just continues after that level of slayage? Nah. There's levels to this. Still, never say never and stranger things have happened. IMO, because the lineup seems pretty set and in-place, I could see Bey's being a "bonus attraction" like whatever Kanye did in the dessert for Coachella a year or two ago. It was just as big news as the headliners, was promoted as a kinda-sorta headline thing itself, and was livestreamed too. Something like this would be the perfect promotional vehicle for a tour or live engagement after. Basically what BeyChella/Homecoming could and should have been for a solo Bey tour straight after. We'll see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see. If she really gives us a full Cowboy Carter set, ill forgive her and happily eat my words. That would be great! Also timing wise, since it would divert back the attention on Cowboy Carter after the Taylor drop 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The girls always scream "don't compare", but there is factual competition amongst all artists for the spotlight. They clearly all give each other respectful window when it comes to releasing, but it's way more fluid when it comes to being the center of the cultural zeitgeist. It's for sure TS' week, but Bey coming out swinging with her strongest asset (performance ability) will swing the pendulum of attention back her way (en masse). Especially as TS "massive sales" is arriving alongside discourse that her album isn't even that good (both from critics and fans). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draper. Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 She's been traveling for the last month, she's not doing a full set without full time rehearsal. Let it go. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovett Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 I don't believe she's performing a full set, but I could see her popping up during someone else's (Post's most likely) to do a duet. But that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgos Groove Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 I've been listening to some 90s albums (The Velvet Rope, Ray of Light, etc.) and it kinda hit me how Bey is basically carrying the (superstar) industry on her back, quality-wise. No other A-lister (Taylor, Drake, etc.) is doing albums as ambitious as Rennie or Cowboy Carter. Let's not even get started on her TRL-era peers... The fact that she's releasing her best music in her 40s is genuinely mind-blowing. We've been witnessing a last-of-its-kind musical run since ST and she deserves every bit of praise for it. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter the difference in streams, CC will end up being the most respected album of the year together with Billie probably - Mark my words 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So true It's amazing how she can be working on an album for years (in CC's case, potentially since 2017) and it still sounds so fresh upon release, even this far into her career. The fact she was making edits to the album so soon before release, shows how much her craft is constantly evolving. Bey's impact on the music industry and pop culture could only really be rivaled by the likes of MJ & Prince at this point (but, us Beyhive always knew this). I know we've all had enough of talking about another certain artist - however, I find it interesting to compare the stark difference between these two. I for one, am so glad that Bey collaborates with others, as we have seen today the result of what happens when you consistently work on your own/just with one other person. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScorpiosGroove Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 (edited) i wonder if she'll go full out with the dancing again on the next tour ? i'm pretty sure she won't and this RWT type of choreo is the new normal. i honestly love the more choreographed moves with less intensive (and less numerous) dance breaks and more focus on stage design and props instead. i'd love for her to lean even more into the prop/stage play aspect, especially for this album. i think there's a LOT to do with that concept (building a country town on stage, lots of props, her interacting a lot with the dancers, having trees and cacti on stage, moving mechanical horses, maybe even animatronics and couple it all with huge screens and top notch visuals etc…) Edited April 20 by ScorpiosGroove Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
