Back when I'd mainly just lurk atrl I'd love his in-depth analysis in threads, and still do So I hope I'm not sounding like a swisshater when I reply haha aw thanks, nope never a hater. I tend to not take these things personally, even if I cant get HEATED about it. Honestly I returned just now a little bit cringing, expecting to get a lot of negative reactions to comments but seeing these posts makes me smile. And I'm glad that when you were a lurker you loved my replies! That's mainly why I even joined... in the 2011 era I had so much I wanted to say but was just a lurker myself, so figured that when I did join I would say the things I wanted to see written when I was a lurker. And I know a lot of the "hate" towards Beyoncé is said lovingly and in jest, and when push comes to shove everyone here is Team Bey, but sometimes I find it hard to let things slide from the stanbase that should most understand who she is and her motivations. 2

Hey Goldmember!! You're so real for that 1

Jon Snow Posted September 1, 2023 Posted September 1, 2023 1 hour ago, mons†er said: I respectfully accept that. I wish they would have collaborated during Shakira's 'Shewolf' era. I think BL was a bit premature and the whole song throws off the vibe of 'B'Day'. granted the deluxe track listing sucks, but if you were to re-arrange it, you can make all the songs work except for BL. I see where you’re coming from, and it makes a lot of sense. I really love Beautiful Liar, but they could’ve collaborated two times, I’d really like Beyoncé on a She Wolf era song. They’re always songs that kinda don’t fit a Beyoncé project, but I prefer that she kept them. And I usually listen to the standard B’Day, because I prefer the track list, especially since Deja Vu is the first song. Beautiful Liar kinda goes with Irreplaceable, though.

Dreajae Posted September 1, 2023 Posted September 1, 2023 5 hours ago, swissman said: Nothing Beyoncé has done in the last ten years suggest's she's the kind of artist who sees a 2% uptick and jumps at the chance for a hit. For this reason, I find the constant questioning of her strategy to be not only futile, but perhaps ignorant. We don't need to ask "why isn't she maximizing the era?" because we already know "she doesn't care to do that anymore." For this reason, I see no issue in waiting for the visuals. I do not expect that she's going to suddenly maximize every opportunity for success. All I expect for her is quality content, which we have. Like I said, IF the article about selling the visual is true, I don't think her current strategy for promo is worth the price she's commanding. She's already had big bag HBO, Netflix and Disney deals and those were not blockbuster hits for those respective apps/networks. And it's no shade to her. We now know that even the top streamers, with the increasing high budget and cost of operations, that they simply don't make as much money. It's now been recently reported why Taylor is releasing in theaters. Apparently the streaming apps were giving her a similar runaround and she and her daddy literally said f that. So Bey is going to have to get crafty. Honestly, if she's not going with Amazon, whose already sponsoring alot, she should to a limited Imax release or something. We truly need to hear something when this tour wraps up at the end of the month. We cannot continue to make excuses.

giRLbye. Posted September 1, 2023 Posted September 1, 2023 idc about any tired visuals...what purpose do they even serve at this point?? pressure would be better placed on selling the tour film to streaming platforms
Blue Rose Posted September 1, 2023 Posted September 1, 2023 isnt the tour footage more tired than the visuals we have yet to see? every night, it’s the same thing except for the ugly dress the nepo-stylist puts her on. i can tell you exactly what each dancer is going to do next 3 1

Dreajae Posted September 1, 2023 Posted September 1, 2023 It's also a good point to note that she is indeed still filming. Her camera crew was out at my show. They're filming in clubs too. So I'm not totally convinced that she's having so much trouble with selling the visuals. There's clearly alot to go with this era tbh. There definently needs to be an announcement made by October. Especially if no more shows are coming. How can any casual fan deny that? Are we suppose to just forget about her until act ii is announced?
