If yall really wanna know who is viewing and reporting, I say we tag ALL THE MODS and ask.

I think I might have watched Homecoming around a hundred times. And I'm fully serious.

I hope whoever is in here reporting this stuff gets warnings themselves, cause this is just ridiculous

So you want a warning point then?

 

Whoever is hating on Summer Renaissance lacks taste, is ugly, has bad breath, body odor, has no friends, no jobs, and is secretly homophobic.

 

Like why the hate?

SR is not good. It's a 6/10.

I feel like non-Hive come in here, lurk, and report.

The theory that a limited theatrical release would take the views from the streaming service makes NO SENSE. People paying to watch it in cinemas (fans) would easily check it again at home if they have the streaming service. I watched Homecoming or Lemonade way more times than anybody has watched Bird Box for sure. 

I kinda get all sides. Hers, ours, and the streamers. 

 

What you said makes total sense. I know I'd for sure go to the theater and then stream whenever it comes out. We've all watched Homecoming a bunch of times. I know I've personally seen Black Is King many times. Her new ish not being on YouTube kinda mandates that. 

 

For the streamers, though, there's a certain gag-worthiness to the "first watch" that I think they may feel will impede the value of repeated watching. 

 

People tend to "respect" traditional movies in the sense that they won't run up and down preempting/spoiling the plot/surprises/endings (think Marvel). 

 

Assuming Bey legit has the likes of Britney Spears, Meghan Markle, Zendaya and co in the visuals. The gag and press headlines will center on that and its immediate availability in theaters. People aren't about to not reveal the "spoilers". It'll be everywhere. The "value" for the associated studio/streamer is the buzziness of the launch (and the surprises) and the sustainability of that buzz. So, from a Netflix perspective, I can see how they'd rather cut Bey a $20 million check to launch the visuals on their service from the get-go than pay to have her launch it in theaters then expect the same amount of buzz to translate to their platform for the streaming release. The former more directly benefits them using the Hive to drive up subscribers than the latter. And trust that driving subscribers is their main agenda. Audiences are fickle and attention spans are at an all-time low. So, I suspect it's less the money that she wants that's the issue, but the value streamers feel they will - or more specifically - won't get from the theater-first strategy she wants. 

 

For her, she's right to know the value of her work and make savvy moves to put herself in positions for awards she's been passed over because of her prior release strategies. 

 

It's such a catch-22, that I actually can't decide where I land on the matter. I just hope we get the visuals ASAP.

Can someone find that post going into a DETAILED with MLA format and citations analysis of the album cover of BEYONCE?

 

We need a laugh.

 

i have been attempting to speak on my thoughts on the show for the last 30 minutes.

 

all i have to say is she is the greatest performer of all time, dead or alive, idc!!!!

 

and i only had two issues one of which was previously mentioned, she did sound pitched up during a few sections of the show but it was just the stadium cuz in the recordings she sounds fine, and at some point you could barely understand what was being said, but that was more specific to the DJ Khaled section so meh

I’ve never liked it and never finished it throughout any listen of the album

 

Imagine my shock when I saw the Tiffany’s ad and my friend told me the “APPLAUSE! ROUND OF APPLAUSE!” was part of the song after I asked if it was new 

girl what the round of applause verse is the best and most euphoric part of the song! I WANT YOUR TOUCH I WANT YOUR FEELING

It is but the song is so flat and boring after the first verse I can’t bother to get to that part

Watch someone say the smallest thing about Virgo's Groove and everyone would lose their mind.

I could say some big things but I know my place

Because VirGOD’s Groove is the best thing she’s ever done 

VIRGO'S GROOVE - original, talented, brilliant, groovy, sexy, euphoric, heavenly

 

SUMMER RENAISSANCE - cover, flat instrumental, mispronounced house names, malfunctioning horse, bored and distracted crew members

 

 

@kimberly I hate you.

The dresses are cute. 

We finally admitting Summer Ren is a 7/10 song?

 

Summer Renaissance is euphoria bottled up in a song but I wouldn't expect you miserable ******* to know anything about that

 

Some of this Summer Renaissance slander is giving "all my favorite songs come before it so it's automatically lesser".

 

It doesn't help that it's not one of the undeniable bangers that pack a punch and an urgency that demands attention. It's more of a smooth groove IMO. 

 

At the same time, I'm not sure how it's being pegged as meh when the definition of meh are getting a pass: Thique, I'm That Girl, and All Up In Your Mind. In the context of the album, I can just about stomach them (on the way to the songs that actually slap). But standalone? All SKIPS.
