Because Beyoncé DOESN’T want to engage with fans and media. She’s already famous enough, she doesn’t want a bunch of crazy people tracking where she is and showing up like Taylor is experiencing. 

Why do you all interpret engagement with people stalking you on the street? I’m giving an example of an artist who didn’t have to speak to the media or fans once and is still able to garner massive pull to their music, videos, etc. Her team can literally do all the work. 

 

 

We sold out her boxes, her merch, broke amazon records and touring records… we deserve the visuals and she probably didn’t even spend $2M on them.
The videos will not make me love Renaissance any more than I already do, but it sucks to know that we haven’t gotten the full picture yet for something that has become so dear to most of us

I'm sorry but that metric means nothing to most of the world, it's basically business talk for retweets. If she wore a clown suit the MIV would go up for party city since everyone is talking about how ugly the outfit is

 

There's a reason the streaming companies said no, would you invest tens of millions on a project the main star won't promote? If true, would you invest tens of millions into a project where she previously scrapped a deal with netflix? Look at the renaissance era as a whole: did she promote the album itself well? One magazine cover months before release and two singles, one of which was only a hit because of tiktok... no live performances, she doesn't do interviews, she's not on most social media, etc. What about Act 2? Do they have to wait another year+ for the visuals of that too? So secrets and surprises are our only strategy? Then the streaming companies take the blame from miss tina publicly because no one is watching???? Yeah, I'd pass on that too 

 

Streaming services are a numbers game, if she wants top dollar for her projects she can't sit by and do nothing anymore.

I'm not saying they don't have their reasons for saying "no" (if that is actually what happened). I'm saying that in this scenario, I like that Beyoncé seemingly has said "no" to them too. I'm really not sure what the issue around this. I like the idea that she's seeing the value in her work, not just on paper ie. how many views but whatever cultural or artistic importance the work may have. Beyoncé is sensitive about what she does, so it'd be no surprise to me if she wasn't happy with so much work of her's being reduced to "ya but would people watch a music film more than once?"

Anyway, still all the conversation about it means nothing without solid info.

Ok but why does Beyoncé have to have a studio to put her work out? Wouldn’t the boss move be to say eff the streamers and put it out herself and recoup most of the profit? Genuinely perplexed 

 

This is the same lady that hid formation from mass consumption and profit. She hid a whole album for three years on platforms but now she must have $100 million or whatever for her visuals????

Okay then she doesn’t have to. But she can’t come crying when her projects flop and studio after studio leave her on seen after 6 months. 

has she ever?

I don't think the two reasonings would be related. I don't think the point would be that she needs $100 million. We all know, as does she, that she could release it for free. Being lowballed means more than the price. (if that's at all what's happening).

Teachers on TikTok are using “look around everybody on mute” to tell their kids to shut up, it’s so cute.
 

Almost makes me miss working with second graders, but not really. 

Yeah you coulda held ur shampoo and perfume hostage. Not the music videos. Weirdo behavior

I’m thinking about how it was theorized a while back that the film would be inspired by The Shining, and while it’s highly unlikely I would love if she served me a horror experimental movie. I want to be scared and confused

 

It’s so interesting to look back on all the theories for what it could possibly be. We went from an escape from reality from covid, to the shining, a ballroom contest, the whole echoville thing, and now Wizard of Oz is being passed around.

 

I’m so intrigued on what it could possibly be, and considering what the article said of this being a step up from BIK, I wonder if we’ll get a more cohesive “storyline” for the visuals? The way every song seamlessly transitions into the next I would love for the visuals to coincide with this as well.  I hope more info drops soon the next few weeks

 

Its crazy her/Parkwood failed to secure a deal for the visuals after all this time. 

 

Everything should have been ready for the album release.  They just filmed all those videos with no plan after?

And what is going on in here?

Who said she shouldn't tour more dates because she has kids?

 

Uh what is Jay Z for?

Here we are yet again, left with more questions and theories than answers, based on some speculative tea that neither confirms nor denies what’s really going on with the visuals. Just enough “info” to keep us excited through the weekend until the next round of meltdowns.

Not one of the Hive's theories being accurate

 

Outside the music this whole era been ghetto.

 

- no visuals

- late singles & remixes

- WHAT IS B7? trolling 

- Hatdu, Toupee Warren, and Milkshake girl fuming

- Bandana girl panning/stanning for views 

- the Church Girl single trolling

- Les Twin x Honey possible fücking

- Julius & Blue stealing her thunder on tour

- “YOU are the visuals…” ???

- here & there texts she made us sign up for

- cutting Drunk, Thique, All Up In The Toaster

- Yvette getting ppl arrested 

- her driver running red lights to escape fans

- tour fits been a gamble  

- selling broken tour merch

- selling perfume

 

Wonder how we gonna survive act ii

Toupee Warren? Les Twins taking Miss Honey to pound town? I thought this was a classy party-

 

All I saying is that this could have been her new IASF era but with quality if she has a good release strategy because the material and everything is already there. Cuff It could have been everywhere with a visual (and a live performance but i know thats too much to ask of this woman at this point ). BMS already did its job and became a #1 song with no promo. So many things should have happened but didn’t, which is basically how she decides to manage her career since ST. I still stan her but since the start of this era, i have switched to stanning what she actually does and not “what she could have done instead “

i still dont know why she pulled BMS from radio, that was honestly so unnecesary and one of the dumbest moves she's done this era, it absolutely KILLED Break My Soul's longevity.

I think it's time to completely fire everyone at parkwood... maybe even dissolve it completely. The workers don't actually work, no one holds anyone to deadlines (I really think Beyoncé needs SOME pressure to move things along, otherwise we are delayed by a whole year) and they can't even handle the artists signed under them correctly, do they even make money? 

 

The only money I see them getting is from Beyoncé touring.

The video of the reporter talking about it is not promising at all. It sounds like the project is still very much in limbo or completely scrapped
