SashaDevachelli Posted July 31, 2023 Posted July 31, 2023 I’m so happy for Blue the way the crowd and Bey hype her up every time is just so sweet, I really hope she performs on my date

I’m not a swiftie so idc. the person asked what she did. I answered. Also, Taylor interacts with her fans and actually releases the sh*t she teases. So? What now? Edited July 31, 2023 by yonsé 1
Subversive Posted July 31, 2023 Posted July 31, 2023 Not to beat a dead reneigh but has anyone come up with a realistic theory (from a production/tour/logistics perspective) of why Thique/AUIYM/DIL would be cut? I mainly don't see why it'd make sense for her to cut it after the first show rather than to cut it during rehearsals before anyone even saw it. Also why would her team keep adding it to the setlist print-out but just cross it out rather than remove it altogether. Idk how tour management works so I'm curious if anyone does 3

Idk how tour management works so I'm curious if anyone does she always makes cuts and setlist changes after the first show. she has ambitious ideas and they don’t always work once executed. IAWT she started with the sasha hair and ended with the signature curls. FWT she had sweet dreams and the screen lift that was cut after the first night (only to be reutilized for 6 inch on the last night). OTR II integrated everything is love on it once dropped. Mrs carter show integrated self titled once dropped. Retooling her shows mid-tour is not uncommon. It’s just annoying. Edited July 31, 2023 by yonsé 3

Her publicist probably told her to cut the songs that have by far the least streams + DIL to not reignite the Tina Turner lashings. Speaking of DIL I forget she went viral this year for that riff. It feels like forever ago. That was truly one of the most special moments of her career. Another fumble because she had every viral post taken down on social media and now the public forgot it existed. It is one of the most addicting sounds I’ve ever heard. She pisses me off 1
bync Posted July 31, 2023 Posted July 31, 2023 (edited) The live version of the "Honey" section of PURE/HONEY is so. GOOD. The new snare/clap they added sounds amazing, I hope we get a live album. Edited July 31, 2023 by bync 3

The fact that Beyoncé has used clips from what we understand to be the visuals on HER tour shouldn't be seen as any sort of trolling on her part, it's literally content she created to express the album. Should she not use it, simply because she's not ready to release the visual album yet? I think we often read way too much into things, including just having something. 1 1

We’ve been waiting a year. This argument might’ve worked when the album just dropped but it’s not wrong to be frustrated when we’ve gone a whole year with nothing but silence and teases. she hasn’t even explained the world of the album. The teasing is vague. What does the newspaper mean? Why doesn’t she care to explain and instead giggles? Of course ppl are irritated? We get a shirt with a character from a movie but we know literally nothing about it? It’s illogical. Edited July 31, 2023 by yonsé 7 1
giRLbye. Posted July 31, 2023 Posted July 31, 2023 the obsessive nature of them is seeming unhinged...do yall really be playing Black is King, ST, Lemonade. etc era videos like that?? i've probably watched them twice...Renaissance videos will likely be no different. i really dont care...she can shelve them...i'm far more looking forward to a concert + live album release. much more replay value. 1
Jon Snow Posted July 31, 2023 Posted July 31, 2023 Her stuff is good because she has a vision, she works on it and she gets things done. She releases it when it’s ready. She did it with the Self-Titled and it changed the game. If you want good stuff, trust the process. Quality over quantity. 1

I absolutely get the need to vent and I think this is the place to do it. This base should serve to enrich our fan experiences by allowing us to discuss Beyoncé in all ways, surrounded by people who are here for the same reason. But as there are those who want to come here to vent, there are those who come for different reasons. If people want to vent, by all means do, but there shouldn't be surprise when at some point there is a response to what feels like never ending complaining. This is a forum, after all, not a bulletin board and though often it's in jest, a lot of the time it seems like just being mad to be mad. Venting would imply after you've said it you feel better, but so often this base is a merry-go-round of the same complaints. 2
QueenB Posted July 31, 2023 Posted July 31, 2023 oh brother, do you watch Single Ladies every night before bed? No. Did it compliment the era and bring new energy to the song you didnt have before? Yes, it makes the era FUN. Our apologies for looking forward to a product advertised a year ago with a trailer from one of if not THEE greatest visual artist on the planet, and instead getting toilet water and a "thanks for the year" $700 tiffany necklace. 2 2

I'm not saying it's wrong to be frustrated, but that a lot of the frustration has come because people have read into things that don't need to mean something. For example: the tour t-shirt is just a t-shirt. The scene it's from has been on the tour every night. It's an image of Beyoncé from a video seen on the tour. Edited July 31, 2023 by swissman 1

Is this open field to say my true feelings about BIK? Cause I could not follow that storyline at all. It was definitely high budget, beautiful, artistic, scenes but she could’ve kept the whole little boy character and just named it “Music videos for an album I secretly released a year ago” and called it a day. Lemonade is by far her strongest visual concept and the most rewatchable
Fleahive Posted July 31, 2023 Posted July 31, 2023 @swissman do you consider yourself positive hive or negative hive? You can’t be the referee. Pick a side!
swissman Posted July 31, 2023 Posted July 31, 2023 Anyway when the tour ends, before she releases the visuals, because I think we all can probably wait a bit longer, right? Beyoncé should release a book of all her tour looks.

Lemonade is by far her strongest visual concept and the most rewatchable That's what I loved about it, the confusing aspect. It was really philosophical and meta-physical, which made it hard to follow at times, but if you think of it as either parallel universes or depictions of different generations of ancestors, but still follow the general plot of TLK, I think it's a stunning presentation of the story.

The problem is lack of communication, we had a trailer showcasing an entire project was already filmed/edited a year ago. Her publicist could do her job and just say "we are focusing on the tour which features visuals for the album that are coming later this year". If plans changed, why not just release the videos you DO like? You're telling me out of all the filming they did she doesn't like ONE single video?
