But she seems to be getting a rise out of you the way you’re feverishly running around defending her in every thread. Focus on the music! 

Im not defending anything. Just adding perspective to the tales of the alleged victimized hive.

So that isn’t you with the same username in that thread fighting with the Swifties and Monsters and other stans who are coming for Bey for her unsavory and questionable decision? My mistake! 

 

apology accepted 

 

may the healing begin for you or not. Im entertained either way

Of course. I’m always happy to entertain Bey fans!
 

Someone’s gotta do it… 

Glad you found your calling. #WontSHEdoIt 

Not y’all still going?

 

I usually only lurk here because some of the psychos here would jump me if I post although I do like Bey but @*-ChriZ-*@kimberly you're doing amazing sweeties  This woman should be lashed for exclusively performing for rich elites like her not for going to Dubai lol, all while still acting like she doesn't have an album out when its the one that needed visuals/performances the most. The music has spoken enough.

 

On another note, Pure/Honey should be topping the best songs lists instead of BMS.

 

I'm convinced some of you have an actual shrine to her and pray to it at night. The sanctimonious attitudes and belittlement of people who disagree with you as "opps" and "not true fans" is so smug and displays an immaturity that I don't find surprising, but it's annoying nonetheless. 

 

She's still never gonna be your friend. She's not gonna pull you up on stage. You aren't even going to get sent an Ivy Park box.

She's entitled to get her cash and support her family. I don't see any problem with that. But can she show some appreciation for her fans? I could care less about an instagram post with "love you deep." I range from indifference to comically laughing about it. 

I totally get what you mean but I screamed at "support her family" 

 

She could do free concerts the rest of her life and her family will still get richer by the day. She's reached the point where her existence makes money. (Although sometimes I do question her acumen with some of the random investments she makes)

But quite literally the last concert she put on was in December 2018 for an elite Indian wedding. Do you not find it even a little weird that the only two concerts she’s given in the last four years have been private events for the elite, even though she has had a brand new album out for the last five months?

 

The amount of gaslighting in this base is truly astronomical, trying to convince people who aren’t jumping up for joy over this weird decision that we’re in the wrong for being “entitled.”
 

Imagine thinking being disappointed that your fave has only done two concerts in four years and they’ve both been private events for billionaires with massive paychecks — with the most recent performance somewhat contradicting the entire alleged purpose of her latest album given the politics around it — is being entitled. 

Honestly its weird that this is how you process it.  The Indian Wedding was at the very end of a 6month World Tour and just repurposed a selections of songs from it. You're ignoring the context. It's not that she decided in the middle of hiatus to deliver them an exclusive concert. Equally we have 2023 tour ahead of us (a friend just told me when the UK dates are but its still subject to change). She's training for it now, creating performances, forming the band, dancers etc... It's like some of you believe that her and everyone at parkwood are just chilling, eating caviar and drinking champagne all week long instead of working behind the scenes to deliver top tier experiences that meet their and fans expectations. 

Some of you still haven't processed that the supporting material from this era is merely offset from your timing expectations, its not cancelled. Everything you want and have ever been given by a modern Beyonce era you will get when all is said and done. Award Show performances, Visuals, A tour, possibly a documentary. She's not going to do random insta live for the fans or improtu performances for Morning TV or tiktok, but you guys already know that by now...
 

Has there ever been a release by a major artist like this?

 

I'm honestly not all that bothered by the lack of anything because I'm used to it, but five months without anything must be a first. 

Edited December 27, 20223 yr by ShouldersSideways

At this point I'm 100% positive her going MIA for half a year (and probably more) after the album release is her 'gimmick' for the era how the surprise release and the movie were for ST and Lem respectively. And she probably thinks she's killing this and is pushing bounderies with it

 

There's no way she's not holding everything on purpose. It's not like she's doing some LOTR level of production with those visuals for them to not be ready and is highly unlikely she's still 'negotiating' with a platform after al this time.

Yawn, actions speak louder than words. Wake me up when this stuff is out because it’s been snooze for the last 5 months and January already sounds like it’ll be more snoozing.  

Honestly people should of checked out months ago, I know I did.  When BMS (The lead single) came and went without any promo, we shouldn't have expected promo for any subsequent singles... once November came and  went, all expectations for when the visuals would drop should have been thrown out the window. This "era" will be going into 2024, so we really just gotta adapt, be patient, whilst also knowing that the material is in fact coming

Seems like you desire those things. 
 

I sure don’t. 
 

whole lot of playing victim and the villain at the same time going on in this thread. #Heated.

Expectations aside (since I truly don’t have any for this “era” anymore), I just think this Dubai hotel performance is a bit of an interesting and jarring choice given the trajectory of this era so far.
 

I find it weird, others don’t, and that’s that. Differences make the world go round. 

You’re wrongfully assuming this private performance is part of this era or will feature anything from this era. Start there. 

this base right now…

What I find the most interesting, from a psychological perspective, is the various stages of grief evident in these posts: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Grief seems to be the one thing many of ya’ll have in common, and a direct response to Bey’s absence/lack of engagement (ironic considering her intention with the music). 

As more days pass by in here this headline makes more sense

I feel like the only Renaissance tracks she will prob perform in Dubai are BMS and CUFF IT.

I’ve been one of the people consistently saying she doesn’t owe us anything beyond the music so this argument doesn’t work on me. 
 

No amount of ending your posts like an AIM away message is going to give your opinion more weight than mine.

I love this gif

 I use it all the time with my friends because it describes my state of mind a good 70% of the time

 

Also Mother Bette would never serve an era like Renaissance, she showed up and showed out till the deathbed

Y'all are low-key Ghetto, the association may not be the besT for my reputation. I'll keep checking in though. You know, like a family does with their relatives in a psychward. I'll just give them an alias.

Yeah, obviously there are levels to the statement. I expect a tour in the summer, I expect visuals before that, i expect her to be at the Grammys etc... But plenty of people haven't adjusted their expectations and week by week, asking where is she, whats happening with the era, whatt is she going to do to support Cuff It? 

I haven't been frustrated like the rest of you guys because my expectations as far as timing is concerned adjusted pretty early on, I haven't been waiting on something from her week to week, or month to month.
