Sometimes I fear this.

 

Lemonade is a great album. It's acclaimed, it won a ton of awards and spawned a huge tour but for what? Less than 500k streams a day? It's a complete non factor today tangibly while albums like Anti, Blonde, Views etc. still pull in streams to back their reputations.

 

Formation was handled terribly, and no singles were pushed afterward. The album was held from Spotify for years and dropped to little fan fare.

 

After that, they still decided to put out RENAISSANCE and roll it out like they did. BMS dropped and with potential for longevity was pulled from radio for no reason and CUFF IT got nothing, it was a hit because of the fans who pulled through on Tik Tok.

 

I don't know how any competent team looks at that and thinks to themselves that they're doing something or in it for the long run.

 

They seem very complacent with doing the bare minimum and that's what they'll keep getting.

For a team that’s supposedly “all about the music” they sure make it hard for audiences to enjoy the experience.

@James_Dean any tea about new physicals being manufactured?

This sound was stuck in my brain a couple days ago, sharing it with my fellow 1+1 worshippers 

 

 

 

Damn I thought after the bday show things would get more interesting but everything is dead. Even the twitter girlies aren’t really saying much as the tour is winding down. Ugh 

Well okay, Dumbo!

I always loved this part 🥹

Y’all, they way beylegion doesn’t even tease anything anymore, and the insiders on here left.

Nothing is happening after Kansas

I wish her version of Back To Black was on AM *le sigh*

I don't follow streams but I can make an educated guess Pink + White alone is outstreaming the entirety of Lemonade  

 

Anyway, I'm frankly ready for the tour to end. I just clicked on a video and saw her doing the sameish Flaws and All speech in Seattle with a demure smile. Houston will be exciting, but other than that it's time to move on -- even if moving on means nothing. I kinda feel like we can all just let go of traditionally stanning her at that point. 

 

I may just take a break from ATRL and her in general until the visuals or ACT II

Not them wearing bags.

Theres literally no point in stanning her since she simply doesnt produce enough content to be really invested in her. With the way she operates these days, she should just release annual albums and do tours ever 3 years

 

The real annoying part is she'll release albums every 6 years and a tour ever 7. Buy "yaS hArDWOrkinG QueEN!"

I have so much to say but have to head to bed lol and will address later.

 

However one thing that has been grating my nerves is did Beyoncé work this hard for 25 years to have most of her records broken after just achieving them in 2-3 years? I’m surprised when she is surprised something of hers does well. And it doesn’t sit right with me.

The Vancouver show in good quality, hivé!

The word abundance triggered me today… 

 

“Abundance of music”…..

what we actually got was an abundance of boredom 

Is it that hard to stan whenever something happens and just enjoy other artists in the meantime?  Last week we got full albums from Olivia Rodrigo, Tinashe, James Blake, Romy, Laufey and Róisín Murphy, all of them really good. This week Mitski. Drake, Kylie and Doja next week and Jorja Smith the week after that. And that’s just September. I really can’t be bothered by Beyoncé not doing anything tbh.

the cupcake stans screaming "queen deserves a long break after this tour" like she wasn’t literally on a 6 year long break and went on like 5 vacations DURING an "active" era

None that I know of! Which is crazy cause we all know there is demand and they'd make bank... not sure what they're waiting for 

not a single pic or video from last night… we really collectively don’t care anymore huh 

whew Club Renaissance is a whole another experience! I'm alive!

 

Seattle crowd was good with applauding but dead silent for Rather Die Young  I was embarrassed to sing aloud so I just mouthed along the words. they also didn't know Flaws and Hole very well. and this was CR so can't imagine the nosebleeds 

 

but wow, what a ******* show. I was able to get the exact spot I wanted. met some lovely people in the line and inside. made eye contact with Bey and Blue. now I need some sleep.

Her own photography department is slacking! (or what I'd like to call 'Yvette-ing')

It took a full week for them to upload the Inglewood page, and now we're still waiting for the Vancouver one.

I haven't seen any professional picture of the re-used opening fit for PURE/HONEY.

Tinashe DEVOURED, and Mitski is shaking me to my core as we speak 

 

it’s fun to complain about Bey because she herself/her team promised or teased so much, but I have other faves to keep me occupied in the meantime

She didn't perform the Lost 3?

Last night opening look reminded me of one of her Oscar after party dresses. These types of dresses look so good on her. Marchesa used to slay this style but I don’t think they are around anymore
