*-ChriZ-* Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 9 minutes ago, Otter said: It seems pretty obvious. The era began with a black backdrop against white text. Both in terms of the album and single announcements. From the beginning visuals were being held back. On release, there's a blanket statement that visuals will come at a later date, a confirmation I don't think we would have got if they were around the corner. We then get a troll video like BMS Cliquebait, obviously very self aware of the desire for visuals and the fact they're being held back and not coming anytime soon. Finally a bizzare ITG teaser which obviously isn't a teaser for the song really but a moment to let people know that vast amont of visuals have been filmed. There is no release date like there is for Lemonade or Homecoming teasers, because the visuals are not around the corner. Essentially nothing has changed since the first announcement of the visuals coming at a "later date". From when the lead single didn't receive a video, I think it should have been clear that whatever is intended is not necessarily timed in a traditional sense. Only when the era is seemingly ending would it make sense to assume that the visuals have been cancelled, but the tour doesn't begin for another 5months, so no reason to draw that conclusion. Good Observation! It still leaves open the question of what exactly spoke towards this approach of not doing anything after the release of the album. You cannot tell me they sit in a meeting and are like "lets drop the album, and then dont do anything for the next 7 months" and Bey being like "sounds great" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BnPac Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) I had a notification from a news outlet here that she'll perform at the Stade of France in May : 26 and 28 to be precise. I run to Ticketmasters : nothing, I storm the whole internet and nothing! Desperate I come back to this website and try reading the pages in this thread, I gave up and went to Celebria : nothing. Ugh. Anyway, why do people publish articles without checking the source? It should be illegal. Anyway I tried reading a couple pages here and just gave up : you guys fight all the time. I saw some pics from the private show, still completely disagree with it but she looked great. Sad about her ankle if that's true, I hope she takes time to recover even if it means postponing the tour. There's a silver-lining there though, the last years Bey's performances have become very heavily choreography-lining, which is really not my preference, let's hope we get more big vocals moment as a result of it.

There's always a through line in her music that sounds so Beyonce no matter the genre or material. !!!! I don’t understand what y’all are talking about honestly Beyoncés artistic touch is very strong on every one of her records to me EXCEPT EIL. That sounded like a jay album. A beyoncé hip hop album would sound different Edited January 25, 2023 by bijonse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot tell me they sit in a meeting and are like "lets drop the album, and then dont do anything for the next 7 months" and Bey being like "sounds great" Worst case scenarios: -She thinks its ground breaking or innovative to let the music speak for itself. -The visuals were rushed and very underwhelming. So reshoots etc are going on. -They shot without having appropriate distribution or financial backing planned and spent the last 6months, acquiring this. Best case scenarios: -The visuals component is highly ambitious and she thought she'd rather just release the music versus delaying everything to coincide with the visuals being ready. One idea that has been on my mind is that the visuals will not be a film but an original TV series telling a tale which the album ties into. -The visuals incorporate future albums.

Thank you, these fools are literally waiting for sis to announce she's ready for them to spend $+1000 with no promise of new performances and they're excited.

abeille Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) Still haven't recovered from the Dubai performance. She might as well be in her vocal prime with her current vocals. It's astonishing how, unbeknownst to us, her vocals have only strengthened over the years. Honestly spurred me on to still have faith in this era.

I was listening to that vocals video someone posted here yesterday and was so taken aback by it all, can't wait, and HOPE we get to hear it in good audio quality... It really made me love how we all expected her to come back with a very Beyoncé-"performance" thing but yet again she changed it up and gave us a whole show full of vocals first and foremost.
