Am I crazy that her music is mixed significantly quieter than other artists? Anytime I'm playing music over speakers and a Bey song post ST comes on, the volume is so much lower. It's every song.

My mind said A immediately but I love B’Day more than DIL and 4. I don’t know if I would be a stan without Kitty Kay and Greenlight 

Not even fair, The way ST is being dragged down 🙄

Totally agree

My wish list for hypothetical next steps in order:

Act II > Extending the tour > Live tour album/visual > Renaissance Re-release (full album of remixes including the 3 we already have) > Renaissance visuals

absolutely not lol

I use Spotify, too. I'm on Premium and have the audio quality as high as it'll go.  Tried it on AM and it's the same.

Ive sadly noticed irl non LGBT people did not get why we loved Renaissance so much. Sorry straights; this one was for the girls who get it.

This is so true. A lot of my straight girl friends are Beyoncé fans but all say they couldn't get into Renaissance and I'm always like "what do you mean? It's her best album" and they don't get it

Renaissance wasn’t for them period

Also they are used to her r&b/hiphop material

Side A literally has all my favorite Beyoncé albums while side B is mid af sans the Gift. This is a no-brainer for me.

do you only notice the difference on speakers or even with headphones ? try playing around with the EQ, mine’s on bass boosted + audio quality high and audio on loud

I want a film, idgaf about the GP. All I ask is the option to quickly access individual videos so if I'm at a pre-game or something I can just click it without having to fast forward through a movie.

 

It'd be nice if you had the option to play the entire thing from the beginning but also could choose individual songs like episodes. If you choose from the beginning, there's no lull in between asking if you want to play the next episode. 

This illustrates my point better as not just the GP will want quick access.

Eventually streaming services like Netflix, Prime etc should be incorporated into the Hot 100. If it happens it’ll probably be after she can really benefit from it and when everyone else is doing films 

I feel like all my girlfriends loved RENAISSANCE

 

But like 80% of my friends are Beyoncé fans. I'm a rational, regular adult but I truly cannot with haters. All of the Beyoncé haters I know are always...dusty in a way. I can't explain it but they just are, I can't be the only one noticing this

I had a similar experience. Have friends and family who said they didn’t really like the album. My friends yesterday as I was explaining how much I loved my show were like “yeah I feel like I don’t know a lot of her new music”…. But why? It’s right there. Idk lol  

 

Ive also had people irl straight up tell me they don’t like or “hate” house music and I’m like you’re entitled to your wrong opinion! 
 

This all goes back to Americans having some weird aversion to dance/EDM music. They def view other genres as more digestible & preferable. IDGI.

I’m around mostly ethnic ppl either they love Bey or if they not into her music they still give her flowers. Shes really a Black community staple. 

Seated for her new looks tonight. The DC openers were some of the best of the tour

The way you say ethnic gjghdfawkonjfdc like stawpppp. But yes we go up for her

I mean I completely understand a non-fan not liking Renaissance. As a fan that album was a rough first listen. It's very long and exhausting. I felt exhausted after the first listen. If I didn't know who she was I could see myself turning it off after church girl. Most people have ADHD nowadays and just want to hear an quick easy to learn bop or sad song.

Beyonce makes niche music nowadays. I expect most people to not care for her songs. Which is why I roll my eyes whenever someone says "but I like Rihanna" who is the exact opposite in every way. 

I’m surprised we haven’t diagnosed Beyoncé with ADHD yet

The only songs I was like UM at first listen were I’m that girl and AUIYM. Both clicked later. I couldn’t tell where the songs ended or began for like a week lol it flows like a dj set. It’s so addictive to listen to 

Who's watching the show tonight via IG live or live?

Funnily enough back in College, at my PWI, the biggest Beyoncé fans were the white sorority girls

 

Then she had her Lemonade, BIK/TG eras and they sort of fizzled out.

 

The whole Beyoncé is black skit on SNL made it all the more hilarious because I vividly remember a girl in discussion complaining that Beyoncé was "ignoring" a big part of her fanbase because she couldn't relate to all the "ethnic" stuff .

 

The white ladies I work with in corporate love her, but mostly for her DC and solo 2000's discography. They can't relate to her newer stuff but still consider themselves fans because they were obsessed with her 20 years ago.

 

Many of the biggest Beyoncé haters I've known were black women though, but they tend to exist on opposite ends of the spectrum with her.

 

Gay black men can't have a conversation without Beyoncé coming up it appears, that's one celebrity you can always bring up that seems to be universally adored by us. She's sort of our Diva. 

 

It's funny how the whole thing works.

People always say that about her latest album. I bet most don’t give her albums a chance. 

I still don't know what's my favorite track from Renaissance though.

 

I'm kinda leaning towards AHAP but.....

 

I don't know.
