My coworker asked me recently what was the most I've ever paid for a single book, since she saw an antique bookstore nearby and it reminded her of me. I said I hadn't paid a lot for a book in a really long time, certainly not as much as anything in that store is going for, but the most was $90 USD for a rare edition from 1922.

 

Then it struck me that I paid over $100 USD for the Renaissance tour book in Stockholm. The Renaissance tour book is the most expensive book I, a lifelong book collector, have ever purchased. I chose not to amend my original answer and keep that information to myself because it's absolutely embarrassing and shameful.

 

So yes we can and should dragT Giraffe to hell and back. Where are the visuals, you menace? Read our signs. Read our lips. We say choke up there when you see us. Get flustered. Try and come up with something else to say every night. We won't let it go, we won't let you breathe.

 

 

Unless you're releasing on the 29th then we're good

This made me scream omg

Why does it not ship to sold out stadium Europe 

Especially when it's "Created in France" Maybe she was just in France when she came up with the idea to fleece again this way because you know the actual juice is just all the unsold Beyoncé Heats from all the closed Rite Aids, poured into one big oil drum in the corner of her garage

The visuals are the friends we made along the way

Move out the way!

 

Perfume come through!

 

 

I told myself I will remain positive until the 29th 

 

So all Imma say is that beyonce is a hard worker! Always up to something. Never settles and it is a big part of why and how she keeps evolving and delivering! I love it. 

 

 

 

Omg...

 

All these rhiplies, I thought something had happened...

 

I'm not buying a damn perfume, send it back

Not all the designer perfume experts coming out of the woodwork. Meanwhile I'm still trying to find a dupe for my favourite body shop fragrance that was discontinued 15 years ago    I won't even pretend to understand this conversation. Collect your coins Beyoncee

pretty sure they can't ship to Europe because they are required to use ground shipping to deliver orders, since perfumes are considered a hazardous item for air cargo. importing in bulk is logistically different. they would need to set up a warehouse in Europe to deliver there, I think, or make the perfume available at Sephora, Boots or Douglas. maybe she will do that "at a later date" like the visuals. 

There’s an option of “notify me when it’s available in my area”. It’ll be available in other places.

That's absolutely true. As stunning as Black is King is, it does not even get the fraction of attention it deserved nor would have gotten if it was dropped immediately.

 

I think a difference is there is such a culture of love and adoration baked into Renaissance as an album, that I think there will indeed be a different outcome than The Gift and, even if it's not on the scale of ST or Lemonade.

Honestly, Black Is King did a LOT for The Gift. It was dead dead in streaming before it.

We’re gonna get a sickening ad and more promo for this perfume. Plus it’ll smell good and hopefully not too floral, I’m not mad at it

For sure, but it did more for The Gift than it did for itself, if that makes sense. I think it's a better work than Lemonade (film), if not just bigger and more impressive a final result, but didn't capture the public's imagination...obviously because it also didn't deal with her personal life, but I guess what I'm saying is had they come in a package, the film wouldn't be such an undiscovered gem for many.

At least you didn't get crumbs in your box

 

I never even opened my box

 

 

she ate this actually

 

 

 

Anyway "you are the visuals" is rather philosophical, isn't it?

 

A slight inference to the fact that she intends the wait for the visuals to allow us to experience the music in a way that relates solely to the songs. It's kind of what I was saying when she released the BREAK MY SOUL (Fans version) and people were mad: the intent (at least from what is released and said) seems to be that she wants us to relate to the music like we would have in the eras she's referencing, for the experience of the MUSIC to not be dependant on a video marketing it to you...

 

Aside from being artful an artful in-the-moment "shut tf up".

BIK > lemonade film

 

but lemonade >>>> the gift

Girl.  She was just telling that person they looked good. It was a polite deflection, not a philosophical musing.

I didn't see the sign but it didn't feel like she was saying they looked good. Felt more like she's saying YOU (the audience, people asking for visuals) are the visuals.

 

It definitely was a polite deflection but if in the back of her mind she's thought that not having visuals achieves fans relating to the music for the music, and expressing it through how they relate/dance/act towards it and not how SHE does...it might fit into that.

 

Plus her face...she wasn't just like, giving a sassy "I know you are but what am I?" deflection, there was a sort of "get it?" to her expression.

It was everything. Fun a visual feast so many colors good choreo on the dance parts you’re reminding me I need to watch it again

While Beyonce Experience is still a masterclass in sheer vocals & performance, looking back - you can see the budget was clearly budgeting with this tour compared to latter ones. The stage, screens, her costumes, band/dancer costumes...yeah. The camera work also sucks...I know she would LOVE to re-edit this show.

 

I can say Renaissance is her most beautiful/glamourous tour look since TBE...no ugly hair or dark make up.

It was very beautiful, the flow of it threw me off for it to be a film
