She did it during the FWT in 2016 two times, and she used it again for Homecoming and that wedding she performed at in India in 2018. Those were the last five times she did it. I think she's just tired of doing the same thing over and over again. She hasn't performed IIWAB since 2014. and she did Halo only four times since FWT has ended. She also hasn't performed Irreplaceable in full since Mrs Carter Show in 2014. She only did an acapella version at the FWT and used it during the DrIL > Diva transition for Homecoming. Zeah, I just think she's tired

 

She also must hate to do Check On It

Yes but she hasn't done Single Ladies since it was copyrighted, which makes me wonder if it's a partial reason to skip it, since it has been such a consistent part of her concerts alongside Crazy in Love.

 

 

Agreed she really does not like to perform Check On It. Can't believe it's a #1 hit she's never once performed all the way through.

It seems like she has a couple of interesting locations for this film with lots of indoor places (houses/buildings)

Edited July 21, 20233 yr by Bicassie

I want her to do a dance break to skee yee by sexyy red

v*s**ls take place inside a perfume bottle

Her best performances of Sweet Dreams is the stripped down version at Wynn Las Vegas and the Glastonbury mash up with Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This).

Also we pretty much got snippets from the full BMS mv during the first part of the anointed interlude. She especially showcased the visuals for Church Girl in the 2nd part of the interlude after we get that transition into the church scenes coupled with the shots of New Orleans and the twerking (referring to the origins of the Bounce genre that Church Girl sonically emulates) 

 

break my soul is basically shots of her in that green outfit with big freedia in that bus aswell walking around New york while voguers are dancing on the street during the day and night 

yeah, i tried to put the music to that interlude to get an idea of the music video. seems joyous

I wonder if she does a song that Mary J Blige did because of the GRAMMYs this year or something else. It's just a too random song to cover

Yes i cant wait also im suspecting that the look we saw on the break my soul single cover is indeed also part of the final scene of the music video (aswell as Church Girl) since there are also scenes of her in that outfit in some beatdown alley with grafitti around her prancing around and then she gets joined by the exact same dancers from during the daylight dancing scenes!

 

BMS will flow into Church Girl in some kind of way in the film and that’s why the interlude probably was constructed like this!

I love the new Formation outfit ugh it’s the type of outfit I expected we would get for a AHAP performance, I was sure we would get a red one piece with a shoulder pad moment to match the album photoshoot

Proof that the church girl outfit is in the last scene of the bms mv:

 

 

guy in the mesh shirt from the daylight voguers is in the laser scene:

 

basically the laser scene is probably the outro part of BMS where everyone goes offf 

I sigh every time I'm on a livestream and she does Snooze And All. All Night deserved.

Very cute!

 

Going to the show, the previews of the visuals are some of what gagged me most and I'm so surprised how few of the Hive are talking about them. All at once, they are giving elevated takes on her visual output (continuity) and fresh ( cinematic in ways that none of her other visuals can compare to). I guess most either think it's specifically for the tour or are (understandably) too tired to try and decode what this woman's plans are lol. 

 

Only thing I'm slightly nervous about is that Bey has been leaning more and more on a visual format that gives us a decent amount of "her" but almost an equal amount of cuts to the "supporting cast" (dancers, extras, scenery). Noticed it a lot during BIK. 

 

Looking at the tour visuals, I'm seeing a lot of extras and activity but not a whole lot of Bey.

 

On the one hand, it simply (and smartly) may be a means of previewing the visuals without spoiling the major moments (aka Bey's looks, choreo etc). That said, because she did a lot of the whole extras thing during BIK... iono. 

 

I like my Bey visuals to be Bey-centric. Roll on July 29th lol

I can't believe she just left the THIQUE milkers to in a storage unit somewhere. Sick woman.

I think you are right on the money!

Since she has a family now she might have taken a slight step back with her films just like she did with BlK since it’s a lot to film 16 mv’s. The teasers definitely are giving lots of extra’s and other things that fill up the lack of her presence since she probably cannot be in EVERY scene anymore since her home life takes priority now!

anyone wonder that perhaps she's not performing Single Ladies in part because the choreography is now trademarked by Jaquel Knight and she would therefore (I assume) need to pay to use it?

Didn’t he kinda copy that choreo tho?

Well that's what's kind of funny about him getting the choreography copyrighted... if we want to say dance moves have ownership, technically he would have been infringing on an existing work, one Beyoncé sought out to reference. (not saying that is a problem or wrong, but just owning the copyright to something that is heavily inspired by another work is funny). That is also what makes me wonder if her not doing Single Ladies is in part due to this, since it was Beyoncé's idea to reference Mexican Breakfast, the update was paid for and now it is copyrighted. I'm just speculating though I know nothing about the legal arrangements.

Yes the Thique section was a little too clunky but it still beats the Church Girl section. They could’ve just updated the choreo and make it less complicated. The stripper polls were cringe as well.
Thique/Drunk/Mind all have the potential to hype up the crowd. The Church Girl section is a not a crowd pleaser. That’s just a fact. It’s the dullest moment of the show. People in my section literally sat down during Rather Die Young  

Were those videos of her rehearsing Thique/AUIYM/DIL real? 
 

If they are real, there’s a chance she’ll bring them back? 

I wish she would do thique and auiym and just skip drunk if she has to bc it completes the album. Like she even does short ass energy

I think the difference is ENERGY is actually improved live and seamlessly blends into BREAK MY SOUL, whereas THIQUE starts as the beginning of that segment is more of a low-key song that according to the one video of it, doesn't really translate as well on stage, at least in the way they've done it.

omg I didn't realize that iconic growl was the same moment as the iconic "you are the visual baby" loooooooooooooooool

i feel like this is definitely part of the same scene

These could be scenes from four different music videos and maybe even certain segues into songs like the Lemonade album.

 

 

Also, what if she gives us another snippet and there's ANOTHER collage of looks not seen before?
