Those old heads be shady sometimes

Especially when the MJ and Adele topics come up 🙄

Beyonces music is GP friendly not niche. Maybe you hang around a lot of conservative people or old people or something. She fills stadiums everywhere. She told you she has mass appeal a while ago @Fleahive

Y’all forget with pop stars a lot of people just listen to the most popular songs not the whole albums all the time like the real fans. Like with someone as big as bey they might listen to the whole thing once or twice and then after that just fw a few songe. Bey has songs like cuff it, bms, Virgos groove, summer renaissance even Alien superstar with that im too sexy interpolation on renny. Recently did savage remix with meg too. all those songs have mass appeal. Maybe stuff like pure honey and auiym are niche, not EVERYTHING.

True, but you can't ignore that it's been more niche recently. Her themes have been very specific, and so has her message.

 

She'll fill stadiums and continue to be a superstar because she's been in the game since the Clinton administration, but had Beyoncé begun her career making music in the vein she does today she wouldn't have made it very far.

 

Her mass appeal isn't going anywhere, but it's not as tangible as it used to be.

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.

I've said this before about how white women LOVED Beyonce until Lemonade they all suddenly decided to become full time Swifties. White feminism got to them.... and yes her biggest haters are other black women. Either the uptight ultra religious or the shea butter twitter side that would always say she wants to be white for wearing blonde wigs all her life and nowadays say she is profiting off the black community lol.

the era of BuzzFeedyoncé  she turned the future housewives into "feminists" with one swoop 

Tour ends> visual announcement then release during the fall> mid winter act 2 announcement> early/mid spring act 2 release> act 2 summer tour. 
 

Idk if act 2 will get visuals but I honestly hope we just get regular music videos.

I feel like Buzzfeed set her up on purpose. Some publications know what they're doing to piss the public off similar to the Shade Room. I remember "Yes Beyonce is better than the Beatles" article that had people fuming. They got so obnoxious even I was cringing at how often they'd bring up for no reason.

BuzzFeed is the pits of news/entertainment websites. They allowed anyone to post, basically. They were working like a content farm. In 2013-14 it was Beyoncé domination, then 2014-15 had Taylor Swift, plus the Kardashians were plastered somewhere on there everyday. When they launched an actual newsroom to do serious reporting and investigative journalism, things got better, but they recently shut down their news operations again earlier this year and laid off journalists.

It was so blatant

 

They also made a spectacle of the Hive several times, using any excuse to paint the BeyHive as crazy and reactive and casually ignoring when other bases did it. They'd also be sure to select the tweets and reactions from black women

 

I remember when they had a whole video about how the Hive attacked a Buzzfeed editor who couldn't even pronounce Beyoncé's name correctly

 

They were trolling Beyoncé and the Hive alot, then she went radio silent and they became irrelevant lol.

absolutely not lol

Let me clarify, I don't want her to do all those things in that order, it was an order of what I care about most at this point. Basically, I'd take anything over the visuals at this point as my hype for them has completely disappeared. 

 

The internet a mess, they knew what they were doing

I forgot how much I loved “Dangerously in love”. It’s definitely one of my favorite Beyoncé’ songs.

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

 

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

 

I don't know.

Well keep leaning because AHAP is the correct answer

She is not gonna rehearse for an entirely new tour next year  she’ll want to rest and is not gonna spend months to get the tour ready and another couple of months on tour

 

if she’s touring next year, it’ll be new legs to the current tour as it is or just added a couple of new songs. That’s it 

The people who call her baeyonce or queen bae are the equivalent of nails on chalkboard to me

Ish. 

 

I can see the foundation of the show staying the same.

 

But, if there's more music coming, like the other Acts we're bracing for, then it's safe to say things will be switched up and swapped out. As it stands, the following already present as placeholders/removable:

 

* Opening Ballads (3 Songs)

* Rather Die Young 

* Before I Let Go

* Black Parade (Keeping Blue for My Power)

 

That's already 5-6 songs, not forgetting that she doesn't mind yanking loved songs out too. If moving into another cycle, slight non-essentials like Move and Energy can go too.

if act 2 is a lo-fi/acoustic album the tour will be stripped down like Roseland. a mic and a light.

I hate hate hate Queen Bae omg. why is it so hard to understand it's "bee" like the letter and also "queen bee"? where the hell did "bae" even come from

I cringe everytime I see a white person call her Bayoncé. Idk if its ignorance or trolling/racism.

I remember seeing that episode on TV and couldn’t believe it was real life. 

Beyoncé herself says Baeyoncé so i dont know why yall still upset at that.
