I guess The Best makes more sense. I'd rather she sang River Deep or Golden Eye though. Golden Eye would be a wow moment.

 

I've always wanted Beyoncé to sing the title song from a James Bond film. Something classic like the Shirley Bassey songs not those tracks from Alicia and Madonna. Listening some kind of Gold Finger from her would be earth shaking.

Guys I'm really freaking out as I have less than 24 hours to be mentally ready, and this'll be my very first concert  does anyone have advice to have the best possible experience there? 

Ooh, what a good first concert. I don't know if you are someone who will want to take pictures/videos every minute of the concert (I'm assuming you will since it's your first and it's Beyoncé) but I say enjoy the experience with your eyes because you will be able to see footage uploaded on the internet. I personally like to memorize lyrics so I can feel connected to the performance. Watch your surroundings and have fun!

the Be With You praise, iktr 

I feel like it always got overshadowed by

Speechless. Both are so sultry and we’re beyond her years. Hard to believe she was just 21 when she recorded those.

Thank you so much! Yeah I intend to appreciate this to its fullest especially if she's got guests, I've been watching every possible video thinking I would never be able to go

21?! What am I doing with my life haha. I revisit DIL often and it's such a quality first solo album except for 
That's How You Like It (Ft. JAY-Z).

What song/songs would you all like her to perform?

 

I don't want another Proud Mary performance let alone another Tina I can feel your halo.

 

Help, River Deep or The Best would be great.

I won’t be picky, but I would love to hear her sing a Tina song. River Deep Mountain High would be amazing but it’s a tough song to sing. Proud Mary would feel very appropriate to me seeing how she already performed it in tribute to Tina at the Kennedy Center and they performed it together at the Grammys. 
 

The Best would be epic too

Proud Mary seems like a lazy choice. She's performed it so many times before. Even Destiny's Child sang it.

This is the ultimate tribute. It would be nice if she did something special.

There are a little bit too many independent little hints about Paris  The Madonna rumor, that stylist specifically gagging about the Paris outfits, Paris coordinates on the visuals (prolly a reach), now an after party and a Live Nation secret fan activity 

 

Watch nothing happens tho  

its the biggest audience of the tour. the last time we got a concert special from her (OTR I) it was from stade de france. 

 

its gonna be a significant show at the very least

A lot of Be With You lovers here   She pays it dust. That song deserves better.

I disagree, it would be perfect considering that song has a special meaning in their relationship. But I would be happy to see her do any kind of tribute

Nice! It means someone will hopefully bid on it. Perfect homage to Uncle Johnny.
 

When they do these shows the designers will give out a dress for charity and people can bid on it. All the proceeds go towards AmFar which helps with AIDS research and HIV prevention. With Balmain, Beyoncé and a big supermodel like Alessandra wearing it it should make a pretty penny.

Tina Turner is who inspired and influenced Beyoncé the most. Why is Mariah Carey being mentioned? 

Because real stans KNOW Beyonce during her DC days literally mimicked Mariahs vocal runs and adlibs, Mariah is the reason Bey sang that way back then.

If she does any Tina tribute, it’s gotta be Proud Mary or The Best. Selfishly I would love The Best because it would be fresh for listeners who have heard her so Proud Mary several times before(VH1 Divas, Kennedy Honors, The Grammys) but I wouldn’t could out her doing it again considering it would probably be the easiest to incorporate last minute rehearsals for. 
 

The Best would be amazing though, as a tribute. It’s so relevant to her admiration towards Tina and sonically is such a beautiful, feel good tribute song. 

Lizzo already did a proud Mary performance that she posted everywhere today lol. I think Bey will either do what’s love got to do with it or the best. She may even opt for an obscure Tina song.

Beyoncé is Beyoncé of course but as far as influences go I've always felt she had the power and energy of Tina Turner, and the glamour and sophistication of Diana Ross. 

 

Beyoncé is truly one of the last divas, at least in terms of an artist who embodies the word. One thing she has that few seem to really have anymore is the glamour. Beyoncé is VERY glamorous, she's flashy, and she loves to play dress up. The fact she's on stage in full blown, carpet ready gowns and stiletto heels says everything really. If nothing else, she will always look absolutely put together. Beyoncé does not strive to be relatable, it's why she feels classic.

and that's why she doesn't and will never have white america in a chokehold and that's okay 

Y'all think we'll get the visuals at Midnight ET?

 

-During the tour, the coordinates on the screen led to Paris, France.

-5/26 is the Paris tour date (biggest audience of hers).

-She did 3 shows in the UK, followed by Paris randomly, and then back to her 6 shows in London, logistically doesn't make sense

-The tour had several flashes of "6:00AM" being shown.. 6AM in France would be Midnight in NYC, when majority of things get released

 

What do y'all think? We'll find out in less than 7 minutes regardless

She kept the same tribute The Beautiful Ones and for Michael I Wanna be where you Are. Virgos love routine.

 

The Best has a lyric in the chorus that says I’d rather be dead so I don’t know if she will do that song .

 

Proud Mary actually goes lyrically well with Church Girl or Crazy in Love

i'd rather hear "river deep, mountain high" or "whats love got to do with it"....i think the latter would work well added onto "I Care"

y'all, we got the AHAP remix a little late, but at least it wasn't embarrassing and hastily put together.

Aside from all this I feel like she also has the artistry and creativity of Madonna. All those traits are what definitely set her far apart from her peers and any other pop act who came afterwards.
