she should know better that if shes not able to truly perform perform, she should cancel it altogether. 

 

We booked flights and hotels with our hard-earned money, so thanks but no! It wouldn't be end the world if she were to reduce one or two dance routines

 

Anyhow, we haven't figured out if those rumors about her foot injury are legit or not, so let's not get overly distraught in the first place.

this i have never understood, especially for hymn for the weekend where her vocals are very clearly audible and she appears in the video. is that her way of performing an act of being "humble"? 

I wonder if she refuses to lend her name to a song unless she has a writing credit these days. Like she sees zero of the publishing money from HFTW or Pink and White so she won't let them use her name

Why was she late to the Grammys tbh. That was very unlike her.

You’re joking right?

 

anyway i kinda thought she would show up last night to the gala but if they post the cuff it look now then we’ll know she was supposed to go and then dropped out at the last minute, her old stylist Ty said she decides those kind of things last minute sometimes 

I wanted her credited on both Hymn and Pink+White for the numbers it would add to her discography but it would have been sad seeing her top 5 most streamed songs being

 

1 - Pink + White

2 - Hymm For the Weendend

3 - Perfect Duet

4 - Halo

5 - Crazy In Love

 

Beyonce hasn't gone to the Met Gala in 7 years now...i think its time to safely scratch this event off the roster

Yeah, me too. I've spent way too much money to watch her do the bare minimum

When I think about being publicly disorganized and unprofessional I don't think of Giraffe. I think of some other girls but not her. She's last minute and OCD but I always figured there was a method to the madness..

That makes kind of sense

Oh idc about red carpets If I were rich and famous I'd be the last one there too. Very fashionable, very mother. But being so late I miss winning an award during a live telecast? What in the Rihanna...

The "Beyonce is stuck in traffic" excuse was so asdfkjnsakjfas  I'm sure half the people rolled their eyes because they somehow made it on time in the same traffic

Does Beyoncé go to anything anymore? Is she even real? Who will we be watching on tour? Anne Marie Lastrassi? Shalissa?

3 being her best opening outfit

*Shrugs* or it was simply a favor for a dear friend. She has writing credit on DJ Khaled's "Sorry Not Sorry", but also did not accept credit when it came time for the track to debut on the charts. Drake's "Can I" is another example where she has a writing credit but is not featured.

Omg that HYMN FOR THE WEEKEND AI’s version is soooo ******* GOOD. The harmonies are fire. This js soot scary 

Girl those are just her background vocals isolated 

At this point I just want to know what went wrong this era. Is it mess at Parkwood? The injuries? Or does she truly not give a f*ck for doing anything where she can't collect a fat cheque?

 

SOMEONE IN HER TEAM NEEDS TO START TALKING

none of the features on Blonde are credited so i dont see why beys background vocals would be

 

hftw was probably just a one time thing for any myriad of bts reasons and has nothing to do with writing credits

Beyoncé seems to get the best press and be most praised by the GP when she's more visible and especially when she's on the stage.

 

I don't think the whole "hiding" thing actually does her any favors anymore. She appears cold and distant now, but if that's "protecting her peace" then good for her I guess.

 

I'm happy for the tour, but she and her team seem to have officially hit their aging diva era. At this point I think it's too late to salvage the RENAISSANCE era. The album is falling down the charts and it's not scoring any more hits realistically.

 

If they're planning on dropping another album, with the same energy like RENAISSANCE they might as well keep it and just focus on the tour and its legs.

 

Oceania, Latin America and Africa will do HUGE numbers, and I know her fans there would love it.

 

Dallas is but a season away now

It doesn't. Its coming off as disconnected and arrogant. The anonymous Variety contributors said it. To me it seems like she expects the fans to clamor over the music and push her for free. 2. She expects votes for AOTY and seems to become more recluse everytime she loses. Except this time she did try to pander to a voting body by throwing all these parties while paying the fans and singles dust.

 

She needs to get it together... if she rolls out act ii the same way she is going to flop. Media is not feeling her. These articles worried about her samples, the taxes and Ivy Park aren't coincidences. And how will she tour then? She can't keep demanding a list main pop girls coins and attention with literally the bare minimum and standoffishness from doing her JOB. Taylor, Adele and Rihanna are not doing this and don't take their brand for granted whatsoever.

Yeah, the media is sort of turning on her and will be perched for the tour to start.

 

Part of me feels like her anxiety has only gotten worse over the years. At first things felt planned and organized, but now she really does seem completely disconnected from both fans and the public alike.

 

I don't think it's about collecting checks, I truly am starting to feel like she's completely over it. She alluded to how bad things were for her in 2022 with her Grammy speech so we never really know what's going on.

 

For Beyoncé to be this...disconnected I think it's personal. Unless of course they roll everything out during the tour which will just be bad planning and scheduling on their part.

mental health > press & praise...the favor is for herself

 

lets be fr...if Beyonce showed up tonight & her hair/makeup/dress wasn't deemed up to par based off what YALL are looking for....she'd be dragged & this thread would be a disaster. she has a tour starting soon...nothing about the Met Gala is relevant. the press & praise is going to come by making sure the show is tight for opening night and her body is rested. not a corny fashion show.

If her mental health is that fragile maybe she shouldn't tour either. Go retire or just release music only. She has enough money. 

 

Either way, the behavior is weird and OFF putting. No one is saying she shouldn't protect her peace but if you are going to have an era and tease visuals and not appear anywhere or engage with fans a  year later, what's the point? If communication was there, none of this would be an issue. 

 

It is frustrating!

Are we surprised though? The era is dead.

 

I'm super curious on how this tour will turn out.

Beyonce knows where her mental health is & is doing things that works her way...not yours
