why is the pink one kinda giving...

 

it also matches her eyeshadow maybe that's helping.

The ballad section needs to remain a thing on all tours goin forward...idgaf

 

Next tour...make it the "encore" & make it a fan request thing with different songs every night

 

then release 2 dvds...one of just the regular show & the 2nd dvd will have every song that was requested

Beyonce used to go OFF vocally during the live "Irreplaceable" performances ...album version was put to dust every time

Oop last thing cause I know I'm hitting my limit in this base today and I don't want y'all to start jumping me for talking too much nonsense.

 

I was thinking to myself what is it about Beyonce that doesn't stick with Gen Z/Alpha? Just based on random tiktok videos that bring up artists it seems like they don't care for her AT all. Besides her being too old/not relatable/self sabotaging/not being alive during her "prime". I wanted to get to the root of it. I've come to this conclusion. Gen Z/Alpha likes depressing music. All their favorite modern rappers and popstars make sad love songs. They want their music to replicate the emotions they're feeling inside. This generation struggles with mental health more than any. I realize Beyonce consistently makes the most uplifting music out of every mainstream singer MALE OR FEMALE that I can think of. Even songs where she talks her ****, she's still trying to uplift the listener. ***Flawless, Pretty Hurts, Bigger, Spirit, BMS, Brown Skin Girl, the list goes on. Seriously look at her discography of the last ten years and count how many songs are positive and how many aren't. If she isn't singing about being IN love or talking about how rich she is, she's trying to make the listener feel better about themselves. THAT is why they don't like her. They just care about aesthetic and vibes. But that is why she's my all-time favorite artist. She makes me feel good when I'm not feeling so good.

This isn't really true, though? I'm Gen-Z (as are my friends) and we love Bey :rip: At the RWT in Toronto my section was mostly late teens/early-mid 20-somethings. For context, I wasn't alive when DC was popping but that doesn't mean I didn't grow up listening to DC - their music has always been featured prominently in our community/family functions/social events. Even though IASF is the first Bey era I 'remember', the streaming age made it possible to discover her older albums so despite some of us joining the Hive later in her career, we still ride for her older music that we grew up listening to (but we're entirely infatuated with because we were too young to 'stan'). On the rare occasion I do meet a Gen-Z who doesn't like Bey they're either a. White/don't like ""Black"" music b. Try to be edgy/don/t want to play into the 'Goddess' persona. There really is no objective way to measure Bey's pull with Gen-Z. Some might argue we should look at streaming stats but I think that's more of a promotional problem.

 

The fact that Bey only has two real studio albums released in the streaming age has set her back tremendously. One of her most culturally significant albums, Lemonade, was also locked away in Tidal Tower for years. It doesn't help that the projects she did put out outside of studio albums were poorly marketed (e.g., EIL & Mufasa music). Ultimately, I think if she had done a proper studio album in 2018 and 2020/2021 before Reneigh, her streaming stats would be much better off and she'd feel bigger. Prominence in the streaming era is about volume. The most streamed female artists are Ariana and Taylor and the former has put out 4 albums & the latter 8 albums in the streaming era :rip:

This is a problem I have with some of the setlist for RENAISSANCE. A moment like this would go viral today.

 

I think they're trying to push some of her lesser known songs but streams aren't looking like it's working. We need sing along moments like this.

this is so accurate. 

 

I will say I don't think there are as many "Hive" members in the younger demo, but doesn't mean they don't listen and show up for Bey. literally all the girlies and gays are going to this tour, so many of my IRL friends will be at the show here and many others have already gone/have plans to go elsewhere. most of them aren't even stans but love her down and would probably agree she's the best performer alive—they are sane, logical people whose brains haven't been rotted by atrl and twitter twinks.

Love on Top and Before I Let Go both give that... and Heated if you wanna count it. Dangerously in Love too.

 

we don't need Irreplaceable in 2023, I'm sorry. I'll even take Halo over that. :dies:

Halo is nice, but it has been played to death as a radio staple + she performed it in almost the same slot for like a decade almost. it just got stale tbh
