I haven't listened to Hurl Girl since the teaser video released while all up in your COOCH has been on infinite loop 

 

A song for every emotion

Now we've moved to supporting repeated abusers.  This Basé is a mess.

So you're telling me they invited Beyoncé and Kylie Minogue and it's not an event for the gays?

 

 

Holding it in Dubai just makes it better 

 

In all seriousness though, I'm not surprised by anything when it comes to celebrities. Look at how Rihanna finessed everyone into beliving she's unimpeachably cool and inclusive, only to turn around and platform that r*pist. Kelly Rowland literally just put her superhero cape on to defend unapologetic serial abuser Chris Brown and told us "what now ". These people do not live in the real world! Bey has always been a "both sides" lets-meet-in-the-middle type of person. Even her rebellions are tame. Tbh the writing was on the wall when she went to that Dave Chappelle show, so I'm not really feeling the shock that some of you seem to be feeling. I'm just gonna enjoy this music and carry on not pretending that she's my friend/mentor/teacher/hero/whateverthefuckelse.

I'd actually say this is very reflective of the real world. These are all divisive topics. Plenty of people support Depp, Chris Brown has one of the biggest hits of 2022 and I know so many people who go to Dubai without caring one inch about the wider human rights issues

Rihanna forgave Chris Brown and he is making good music and IS still performing his ass off every single time. Humans make mistake, why do we still need to crucify him? 

i can’t with some of you in here act you NEVER made a mistake in your life or a bad choice. I’m glad there are still people in this world like Kelly Rowland that can see past people’s mistake and see good in people and their growth.

He made the same "mistake" over multiple years with multiple women. Stop the nonsense.

 

 

 

Anyway, people who only enjoy the second half of Move and Pure/Honey are weak, their bloodlines are weak, and I will be bullying.

Lets discuss how much she fumbled the bag with The Lion King

Forget about The Gift and lets focus on Spirit (Bomb) 

She had a whole 2 years to write a timeless song that would be iconic and stick with a generation... Spirit was the best she could come up with?? Also such a missed opportunity to use her delicate pop voice

"Missed opportunity" should be the title of the final act before she retires

 

 

But yeah, Spirit was cute but not iconic. However the entire rollout of The Gift was such a car crash. I don't understand how u can put so much effort into creating music and then botch up the entire project like this. As a collaborator of hers, I'd fume so much.

Omg this video always cracks me up I swear  

 

The mirrored image, the filter, it's just so unlike her to the point it makes me laugh out loud

Both Spirit and Be Alive were fumbled. Those were choices.

Babe that tweet says 2017... I never said he didn't do horrible things, but people CAN grow and learn from their mistakes.

 

If you can't see that he is a person HURTING inside and struggling with his own demons that's your business, i choose to focus on the positivity and his artistry has NOTHING to do with the things he did in his personal life.

 

I don't care for Chris Brown, i'm a big fan of Rihanna but even her she MOVED THE **** ON, you guys should too. Beating the same dead horse over and over again jesus christ ain't y'all tired?

Her vocals on “Can You Feel The Love Tonight” was immaculate and honestly was one of her best vocal performances of her career. Wished she released a solo version.

 

Beyonce goes through her “experimental” phases where she wants to make songs against the grain. Examples include:

 

- Destiny’s Child Christmas Album: In hindsight, it could have been a classic album that could have been a DC highlight but she delivered probably her worst vocal career performances throughout the entire album with her incessant runs (Love you Bey)

 

- Be Alive: To fit the “gritty and tough” style of the movie, she wanted to create a ballad on a hard, staccato HipHop beat. It just didn’t work. 
 

- Spirit: I ADORE this song, and honestly love it. I’ve listened to it hundreds of time. But when you have to live up to “Can You Feel the Night” and “Circle of Life” (which was the GP expectations) - “Spirit” was NOT IT!

 

Unfortunately these are huge missed moments because if done right could have given her 1) a classic Christmas album that would have competed with Mariah considering her cultural cache 2) An Oscar and 3) An Oscar and classic GP defining song for what is currently the 8th highest grossing movie of all time.

Yes, this is exactly what I thought we would be getting vocally with her original song. She probably should of worked closer with the film composers and musical writers too  

 

Spirit feels like a stand alone contemporary pop/gospel song versus an addition to the Lion King Universe

I believe that’s exactly what happened. The producers said she came into their office with the song and said, I have something I want you all to hear. 

We went from Dubai to Depp to Chris Brown

TBH no, like they work but he also wasn't the lead producer is anything bar BMS (?)... I'd love for her to use some different talent but I trust whatever her direction/collabs are

He was in Vogue or something the other day and said he did 85% of Cuff It. I think he was the main producer of nearly every track.

 

I love their work together, but I wouldn't mind seeing her do a 180 with ACT II.

If you don’t like Be Alive (with God) and Spirit (of Christ) you have no taste

The "live" Version of Be Alive at the Oscars showed what the original song was missing. 

 

Spirit is cute, but thats just it. 

I was hoping yesterday would make it into the "Popular Days" section of the thread. It deserves to be memorialized in some way.

 

The deep dive into the etymology of the word bootlicker

The your mother quips ("your mother gets shitted on in Dubai" ijbol)

My skin's already clear but yesterday was a few more drops of hyaluronic acid for the soul. I hope she performs in Brunei so we can do it all over again!

This would make sense if there weren't users in this thread telling us outright that they are "real Hive" and we're "fake" for questioning her choices and to stop stanning her. Also, you're now saying you don't care about her wallet after this thread has been yelling "collect your coins Beyonc-ee" over and over?  The way none of this response was true was a kii.

 

We don't care about her bag, we care about the hypocritical decision she's made. You don't. That is the actual difference.

I have not once said collect your coins babe. You got me mixed up with someone else. U looking mad dumb
