The fact that she's consistently shown three new looks at each US show... the only thing I look forward to right now

imagine if she changed 3 songs during each show instead… would be a lot more interesting than debuting hit or miss looks  

 

but at least it’s something, i love the new AHAP inspired formation look tho, the purple shorts looked… strange

Andrew is definitely behind some of those 

let's be real the THIQUE-AUIUM-DIL segment was the weakest of them all and she was right to cut it.

 

I think all those songs deserve to be performed, but their staging wasn't anything to write home about, and clearly Beyoncé felt that. I mean, why else would she cut the songs? To save time? To not have to perform as much? Okay, so then you'd logically take out the segment that you feel works the least.

actually its part of a visual that shows a weather lady with a map of America covered in pink, this is obviously referring to the growing queer community/gay agenda

She also sings "Paint the world ***** pink" on the album...seems like that.

Still think my show in Brussels had the best opening outfit

This dress will forever gag me, this and the one for Stade De France.

 

She hasn't given us videos but in the words of the late, great and petty Ms. Franklin, GREAT gowns, BEAUTIFUL gowns.

not when Church Girl - Get Me Bodied - Rather Die Young exists

People discussing "weak points" of the show.

 

There are NO weak points throughout the show.

 

Let's be honest here.

I personally love love LOVED the Dique-Drunk on Vocals segment of the show however I also like the Rather Die Young section as well.

 

 

Rather not live at ALLLLLLLLL.

Doesn’t that basically mean the same thing when you think about it 

 

no but its probably referring to that lyric yeah

She is wrong for cutting that section over certain other ones no one asked for

You are correct now that I think of the lyric in the context of the pride flag colour name drops.

Agree, there are no weak points. The weaker points have been cut.

the weakest point of the show is when she goes backstage to change and they play 7/11

How do you guys feel about the new Formation outfit?

 

Very similar to the Formation Tour Crazy in Love outfit, right?

I mean, is Beyoncé bending over on a metal bar she's been at million times since 2003 in the relative dark singing THIQUE (which isn't really a vocally dynamic song) then walking over to another spot and bending down to sing AAIYM really that great? The songs are, but the staging is not. And if I'm honest, the performances of DIL have never quite been as good as the song itself. They never quite elevated it (except for the literal elevation she did in Dubai), and maybe it didn't need to. Plus a certain lyric in the same concert she tributes Tina Turner is maybe not the look.

 

Compare that to the vocally impressive three you've cited, and the active choreography she does through Get Me Bodied, the peppy performance of CHURCH GIRL, and the vocals of RDY, it's not the same imo.

 

We know Beyoncé watches back her performances. I think it's pretty clear she would have watched the cut segment and realized it's just not hitting like the others.

I adore it! And that look was one of my faves from the tour too (especially with the dickie in place).

ALSO, neither THIQUE nor AUIYM are lyrically integral to the story or point of RENAISSANCE both being extensions of the same self-pride, romantic bodaciousness outlined already on the tour through songs like ALIEN SUPERSTAR (more clearly) and PLASTIC OFF THE SOFA. Omitting a song like CHURCH GIRL removes the entire commentary it brings about the duality of human sexuality, and the religious experience of the club, as well as tying together the notions of sex and otherworldliness as presented in pieces throughout the album.

Well personally for me, I LOVED the way Thique was introduced as a performance. The way the interlude/segue played the instrumental of the song first mixed with some elements from End of Time, paused for a bit, and then boom: Thique.

 

  

 

I also loved the red demonic/satanic visuals for All Up in Your Mind.

 

 

And then her last runs on Drunk in Love was just....

Except for Alien Superstar when she starts sweet dreams and the stadium gets whiplash when she doesnt sing any of it

She was so wrong for this.

 

 

The way Sweet Dreams has been done wrong since 2008 is a literal crime.

 

Was there ever a performance of Sweet Dreams where she sang it in its entirety?
