yes, god forbids that fans offer valid criticism,. we should just be 'yes' type of people and stand whatever is served like sheep. 

valid criticism is always welcome among mature people, criticising certain aspects of the set list and illogical moves is valid and not complaining. but i admire that you are happy with eveeything!  

It goes beyond valid. If no other fambase does it, Hive is the ones who holds Beyonce to a standard. And Beyonce is one of the few who has grown from it and delivered. But now? It's giving ungrateful. Especially when there have been minimal complaints from casuals and the GP. Hive as a collective is much smaller than what it was. So we lot need to take what we can get, which is still a high level.  

I probably sound like a broken record but Thique and DiL are highlights and I am not happy that we got a taste only to have them missing 2/3 shows. 
Outside of that, there are a few obvious cuts I'd make but overall I'm very excited about the EXTENSIVE setlist, vocal showcases, makeup, hair, aesthetic, production and happy vibe she is giving off.

From the tours I've actually seen live I would rank:

Beychella > FWT > MCSWT

I think Renaissance will end up in between Beychella and FWT once my Barcelona date comes around. 
Crowd energy makes a big difference, for the dates I saw for FWT, Dublin was by far the loudest and Brussels was louder than Frankfurt who were comparatively dead.

I'm hoping the mega fans from Portugal flood the Barcelona date and merge with the mega fans there, flooding out the locals but we shall see.

How is it a mess? She just did 3 packed shows. Something those other girls have NOT done in those countries. 

I’m talking about the audience being dry as hell and known to clap off beat. The US girlies just do it better.

Doesn’t mean they didn’t enjoy it. Not everyone is going to be loud and screaming every min of the show.

Crying and complaining about every single thing this era...now it's tears over the tour

 

at what point do you just throw in the towel & say...Beyonce ain't it for me. let me start following somebody else's career who knows how to promote and will do what I say?

Have to agree. I get Bey tried it for the first 9 months of the era but you can't complain about her being her own opening act and slight fluctuations in the set list. Especially when she finally let Halo go after years of complaining. 

 

Complaining about the dancers.

Her outfits.

Her dancing. 

 

It's just alot when we know alot of acts charging more than Bey aren't giving even half the effort.

You are NOT paying her to demand her to sing specific songs to you. You are paying her to witness her art expression.

 

You will either sell your ticket or you will go and DEAL.

Exactly!! I was one of the ones complaining for lack of performances and visuals, but after the first date in Sweden it is quite obvious she went through something behind the scenes and she still giving us an amazing tour with flawless vocals and production, she even tries to dance as much as she can despite her injuries and STILL they complain. Do they expect Beyoncé to fix their life as well? I just don’t get it really. Unstan and let us enjoy her in peace.

This.

 

Skipping DrIL and Thique and ESPECIALLY AUIYM is not that big of a deal. We’ve seen DrIL every tour since MCSWT. Thique is fun, but there’s not really much of a performance aspect to it (kind of like Partition lol). And AUIYM sux, full stop. 

She’s going to continue playing around with the set list up to and through the US dates and I hope the Hive doesn’t have a collective meltdown every-time. It’s so embarrassing. 

Like do some of y’all not understanding she’s foregoing some of her biggest hits in Halo, SL, Irreplaceable, Baby Boy, most of Lemonade, etc. 
 

There’s going to be trade offs, and we’re all gonna have to be adults about it. Pls!

We shouldn’t complain in general… but erhm… that said… this a MUCH better set list 

Regardless if you like the opening or not, it is odd to open a huge stadium show with 5 old album tracks, then instead of singing one of her well known ballads, she sings Rather Die Young.

Exactly!

Oh! She looks stunning in that white gown.
 

That original Alexander McQueen is too stunning though for it to be used for only 2 dates.

Just don’t attend the tour if you don’t like it, my god you’re all so annoying with complaining all the damn time. She can perform songs she likes to perform and not the ones you think she should perform.

You are very exhausting and annoying. Sell your ticket and don't go. SHE STARTED with ballads cause she herself was the opening act, that is why she does all that before the first interlude that says 'WELCOME TO RENAISSANCE'

What the fuuuuck

Edited May 14, 20233 yr by MrPiggyMoka

The biggest upset about her not performing those songs is it's even less time she spends in CR.  I think without those, she only goes around the full circle once with BMS?  Maybe I'm wrong?

Rather Die Young is much better than those, simple as that.

I agree for an intimate venue. I LUV Rather Die Young since that iconic Roseland performance. I been singing that live version in my car ever since. I was even glad to final get another live rendition with this tour.
 

But for a stadium setting, song quality matters less than atmosphere. And pop anthems like Halo or XO (don’t @ me ) stir up uplifting emotions.
