4 absolutely traumatized her

And for the better, I think.

 

I'm sure a part of her was a little shocked, after non-stop success since 1997, that she could do all that and still it wouldn't capture the public's attention.

 

But I think failure motivates her and that's why ST was so amazing and so distinctly HER in her strategy.

You could almost see in real time the way she backtracked on making a traditional pop rollout...Grown Woman single scrapped, Standing on the Sun single scrapped. I think had she released either she may have gotten a nice hit (who knows) but it would not have taken her to the path of legend so quickly, she might even be stuck in the category of 2000s icons with some new hits but that no one is looking to with any sort of major reverence and respect.

 

Fans can bemoan her choices but we cannot deny that her choices have 100% contributed to her becoming the superlative Beyoncé she is, the legend not in the making, but in the flesh. I can't think of anyone else since the 1990s who has become a legend while still re-peaking in some ways, and certainly peaking artistically.

  • It was the best concert of my life, bar none. Idc!    It was extraordinary, it was ineffable.  I knew I loved it based on the videos but I... Hey I don't know.    Best moment

    I know this award is a joke but the point is, she has cemented herself in history with the likes of Whitney and Lauryn. And on top of that she won an award for a genre that completely ridiculed and ex

I'm sorry but the math isn't mathing, they were already booking these for summer last year theres some speculation that it got rescheduled to this year, so they had enough time to finalise the plans before and after (if she was injured).

 

It's either she has her foot off the pedal or whoever is in charge doesn't know what they are doing, in reality the truth is somewhere close to the middle. If she didn't care about where it was she would be booking arenas instead or she wouldn't tour.

I'm sorry to tell you but its literally Beyoncé :deadbanana4:

I feel like Beyoncé is the cover star of Any Warhol-founded Interview Magazine’s September 2023 Issue. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Any particular reason? Don't September issues typically release in August?

 

edit: I just looked and it's Jennifer Lawrence

Like that’s just basic streaming/spotify knowledge 14 year olds know about but not at Parkwood it seems :redface:

 

But even flops like Melanie Martinez and co have multiple vinyl choices upon album release day and i doubt they expect to upon with a million first week sales :rip: 

 

Her/Parkwood’s problem is that they see things happen and see the reactions, and instead of reacting as quick as possible they do : nothing.

And it’s always the same thing… 

 

Same for the "she wanted some videos and then decided on a full film last minute” thing like how are you doing this AGAIN when it miserably failed the first time i just don’t get it

Highly doubt she's the one calling the stadiums and making these lousy arrangements, one google search reveals she has a tour manager: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/music/artists/beyonce-renaissance-tour-team-whos-who/

Booking Tottenham when Wembley is right there, the Paris dates, you think that she would decide to do 4 extra last minute London dates with all her years of experience?

What's the issue with Tottenham vs. Wembley?

Noooooo why would you change your flawless avi bring it back :angry:

 

And yeah I cackled when i saw in that other thread that they hanging around the corner having a peep in here like gremlins lmao

 

But then again most of them post like they're 15 so it's not all that surprising

EIL sucks and was a clear last minute attempt to justify the tour and sell tickets. That's the entire reason they recorded it in like one week in a damn stadium. :rip: 

 

Summer and Apeshit are enjoyable and I liked Nice at the time, but it aged horribly. The album was full of cringe lyrics and the production was dated on arrival. I'll never forget the way y'all went up for the mumble fest that is Friends. :deadbanana4:

 

SALUD! was actually my favorite song of that album and you can't even easily access it.

I always thought they should have did a 2-track single release with Apeshit and Summer (releasing videos for both). That would have been dope!

Wembley has a much higher capacity, more prestigious etc, its the go to venue for big megastars like her. She could have done less dates with more capacity. Tottenham is not known for hosting big events like a Beyoncé tour, even they were gagged :ahh:

WHO booked her that tiny ass stadium in london, only one show in Paris, no shows in Italy, irrelevant German cities instead of Berlin and munich etc. like she is BEYONCÉ. And WHO is telling her to skip the rest of the world like those stadiums won’t sell out in 10 minutes each like they did in europe, got her going to ******* kentucky and Minnesota but not São Paulo?

Tbh, that happens when everything you do or plan is super late because of "secrets". Team Bey hasn't realized there are other artists and sportteams on Planet Earth that also book stadiums in advance

I should probably start doing the same 'cause a lot of the stuff I saved on twitter is now gone due to the accounts being suspended or w/e :chick3:

Reading the comments from the “executive producers, project mangers, co. vice presidents, A&Rs & ceos” in here  is hilarious..  :dies:
