Bey's current YouTube stats are extremely weird.. BMS Will.I.Am remix was her most viewed video yesterday with 322K views and Church Girl (worst song on the album) is the second most streamed non single. The fact the remix is doing more than the original makes 0 sense to me despite it being the best remix from the bunch.

Also an update on my 'limited edition Vinyl'. After nearly a month of no replies from Beyonce.com they just sent me an email apologising for the inconvenience and sent me a refund (which I didn't ask for). I am so pissed considering I ordered it within an hour of it coming out. It's clear to me that they under shipped and I was just one of the unlucky ones to cop it as I've seen lots of people sharing a similar sentiment on twitter.

The fact I'm missing out on the 'Kelis' and 'Spazzing' collectors edition which will be worth a lot in the future is BREAKING MY SOUL.

$500 aud + on shipping and merch later it's safe to say I will not be buying act II unless this vinyl miraculously rocks up at my door.

OMG I still haven’t receive the limited edition vinyl either…

She’s not ageing and she doesn’t look 41.  She looks 33 at most in the Tiffany ad.

I cannot wait for the tour to start…. Yes she’s singing all nice and pretty on the album but those few parts when she goes off you know she’s going to kill it live…

 

“Ooh, yeah you! 
Come and cuff it, cuff it, cuff it, cuff it, baby! 
While I buss it, buss it, buss it, for you baby, ayy
Ooh, baby
Anywhere, any time, I don't mind, I don’t mind!” 
 

“Applause, a round of applause
Applause, a round of applause
Say I want, want, want, what I want, want, want
I want your touch, I want your feeling
I want your love, I want your spirit
The more I want, the more I need it
Need it”

 

She really loves SUMMER RENAISSANCE, and rightfully so. It’s going to close the tour for sure, the whole callback effects, the “round of applause” and that outro and vocals… you know that guitar is going to play as she thanks everyone on her team. 
 

It’s a perfect pop record, she drops so many eff bombs so Radio might be a problem but it’s so good! Her sampling Donna Summers feels right and she does it so effortlessly… the vocals are even sweeter. 
 

I wish she would have worked with Giorgio Moroder himself, I’m sure if she reaches out it can happen. 

I do hope (but at the same time its obvious) that Summer Renaissance will get it's own music video & will not be sacrificed for a so called "film".

Especially the "I want-want-want what i want-want-want" part will be so fun because it's gonna be a call and response thing.

Given the other photo shoots… the album cover is just mid. Pretty horse. Honestly all she needs is that face, face card never declines my gawd!

The horrid photoshop job on her hips.  The way they made them flat to only bulge out again at the thighs.  Why would they do that to her?

I hope those other poses will get revealed in HQ one day. I'm afraid they won't since people would be able to print their own shirts with these. :(

Maybe some of you guys will shake their heads but i'm already thinking of how the art direction (or at least the front cover) of act ii will be. Do you guys think it'll have a black background again?

I’ve thought about it too. I hope it will be black again. It looks so nice when you put BEYONCÉ, The Gift and RENAISSANCE next to each other as there’s a theme going on (we’re excluding Lemonade here for aesthetic purposes )

Oh nice, i never thought of that this way. But it's true. It does look good.

 

Since Renaissance will be part of a trilogy i think the artwork will share some similarities OR Bey will do the unexpected again and come out with something different.

What if the horse is the element tying the trilogy together? Imagine act ii's cover giving a completely different vibe with Bey's look, makeup and general aesthetic but with the horse still being there, not all sparkly and made of crystals but taking a different form. And the same happening for act iii.

 

 

(Tbh I'm still not completely sold on the whole 3 full albums thing, I just don't want to be disappointed, I just wish we got some kind of official confirmation)

This would be interesting. Wasn't there this connection some people here made to this other painting showing 3 or 4 guys on different type of horses? I forgot how the painting is called but it could be an interesting concept.

That is such a cool concept.  Imagine act 2 (the country album) the horse on the cover is a wooden horse, and act 3 (the R&B album) it’s something else.

Found it!

I'm curious if this will be part of one of the videos, given the Clique bait video she posted. 
 

At one point I was sure it will be for Alien superstar cause it was the one in the booklet but now not sure anymore

 

"CUFF IT" still climbing on Spotify.

How old do you think 41 is? That’s still pretty young all things considered lol. 

I don’t know what chart this is
