it’s a shoo-in with the donna summer sample 

beyhive might be sick of it but the locals will never be. the definition of a classic record like 

!!!! Crazy in love is the one song I don’t think she will ever not perform and deservedly so

It’s all promo. There’s still people who haven’t listened so it might get a cute little bump in addition to the tour starting.  Bey never loses

It has weight.

Bey was also trending with Virgos Groove, America Has A Problem and Cuff It. But 99% of the comments were dragging her for being wrong so it all worked out for the best. It’s just the usual losers that were celebrating. I kinda feel like this is already old news anyway

 

Also Ajay has never gone this viral before. That’s a testament of how powerful Renaissance is.

I will switch only if the live rendition turns out to be cute 

 

And yes, she must perform all of her classics: Single Ladies, Crazy In Love, Halo and Love On Top. Irreplaceable too. 

 

Plus, a different arrangement is always appreciated.

That person wanted an album full of Plastic off the sofas - sorry but that opinion is questionable lol

A classy, mature and sophisticated R&B album? Yeah not at all, I want that too.

If they’re the new critics then every other critic liked it and she looks like even more of a hater  you turn everything into a catastrophe in your head when irl renaissance songs are already trending on twitter again 9 months after it came out and her name isn’t anymore not even a day later. Like be serious omg

But when are those “trends” going to turn into actual streams and sales like it does for Taylor? Cause REN should be doing way better imo. 

Why are we still talking about that girl? Bey is doing just fine regardless of what she thinks of this album lmfao it’s not that serious 

 

Virgo’s Grammy and Plastiqué are going to sound HEAVENLY in a stadium oh wow

The way everyone is talking about the album again  poor haters 

 

 

I usually don’t enter other threads besides the base, I didn’t even realize someone made Bey vs T*ylor thread. What in the crack f*ckery is happening on this site

I wouldn't say they're new critics. The function of reactions videos are very different to critics and I'd argue they have very little "weight" in regards to the body of work being reacted to. They're built around entertainment and fans having their joy reinforced... 

Anyway tour bits are starting to appear to frequently so time to leave base until my tour date

I think it's quite different for Taylor. 

 

Perhaps hardly anybody has a bigger fanbase than her: Country, Pop and Alternative/Indie audiences listen to her music on a daily basis. 

Her Jackson 5 tribute coming

Hate to keep the convo going about bandana, but I feel like she stans Harry and is forcing this Renaissance hate because of the whole AOTY debacle and is using her platform to “prove” Bey didn’t deserve.

I think it had more to do with the fact that barely anyone expected her to completely trash the album, and it’s more reactive shock than anything. It likely wouldn’t have gotten as much engagement had she praised it.

 

That said, I hardly knew of her platform in the first place, besides a meme or two here and there, so I didn’t bother seeing the video. But hearing that she completely disregarded every single song just sounds like a forced agenda to me.

Interesting take.

While she is notable, it's trending because it galvanizes a large portion of other stan bases that silently hate the universal acclaim that Bey receives. 

 

A YouTuber coming 8 months post-release to intimate an album that literally (literally) topped ever critic's year-end list is wack doesn't carry weight it. 

 

It's the "gag" of her seemingly "going against the grain" that is going viral not the notion of the album being wack. 

 

The irony is all of this will be replaced by how epic the tour is in a mere matter of days.

All noise is good, cause people will go to Ren to see what Ajay means, which is a win in itself.

Im less mad today about it because I remember our initial reviews and breakdowns.

Just realized Queen Elizabeth didn’t survive the wait for the visuals. She was alive when Ren dropped. Like wow.

The album being talked about is GOOD. This happens to Bey all the time, it only keeps her relevant

It's not just that she died, it's that an entire coronation was planned and executed in the meantime
