Space&Time Posted December 5, 2023 Posted December 5, 2023 I am so over this discourse and these fake as$ Twitter activists. Beyoncé has done more for good causes than all of the countless detractors combined. They don’t protest, donate, fight- all they do is literally run their mouths. They hate capitalism but they participate in it every day. Buying and selling and failing at entrepreneurship. I’m not even gonna give that hating as$ reviewer the click. Beyonce can make an album about the sun, moon, and stars and some one will find a way to blame her for something. She should keep doing what her heart tells her because she wins everytime, and she always touches millions with her art. We’ve been in this since 1999, “controversy” after “controversy.” Honestly I just had to laugh, because I realized these people really think them running them Twitter fingers is going to change anything for Beyoncé or lower her vibration and it’s not. I’m not giving it any more energy. Next. 3

The highlights are the glimpse of visuals and the Britney sample. ● "All Up In Your Mind" looks like it's boring to audiences. The song already lacks on the album, but the live performance is boring. ● "Drunk In Love" is the of best of the 'Big 3", but it may be a bit much to sing already 2.5 hours into a 3 hour show. Seems like she did more live singing this tour, by the time you get to nearly the end, the ending of that arrangement is probably it bit much. I still hold to she should've cut Thique and AUIYM from the film. People were getting visibly antsy during that part. I get why she didn't and ultimately decided to include all the Renaissance songs, but it definitely brought the vibe down. My only criticism of the entire movie. 1 1 5

My only criticism of the entire movie. This. At much as I loved seeing it, it was during those songs that I started to feel like the movie was running a bit long. However, I'm glad she included it because we all know we would've never seen it because she most likely is not releasing an extended cut. 2
Machete Posted December 5, 2023 Posted December 5, 2023 Yeah, THIQUE and AUIYM performances didn’t work well for me. I can see why she didn’t do them for most of the tour. 1 1
cloudbusting Posted December 5, 2023 Posted December 5, 2023 part of me will always be a lil sad that she never performed the best part of Thique 7
Fleahive Posted December 5, 2023 Posted December 5, 2023 (edited) All I know is I didn’t watch tour spoilers but saw the map showing what stage she’s on during each song and while not trying to look too hard at the song list I saw she goes around club renaissance at least twice which is why I stayed on a barricade only to be underwhelmed as she jogged past me one time during bms. AUIYN was needed for every show so we could all see her one last time up close. Edited December 5, 2023 by Fleahive 1
SashaDevachelli Posted December 5, 2023 Posted December 5, 2023 (edited) I can see the potential for AUIYM live. Her vocals are already haunting and amazing while she performs it, I think a live band with some rock/guitar elements would really heighten the song even more, a DHY-esque performance. Thique however I’m not sure. As much as I adore the song I feel like it wasn’t given the proper justice it deserves from this tour. The toxic sample was definitely appreciated but I feel like more movement could be done for the song. Obviously her knee injury has to be taken into account while critiquing the performances and perhaps we’ll see them reimagined in a new way next time when she’s more healthier. But for that to happen we would need a new album/tour so I’ll just imagine it in my head like she wants. All up in my mind indeed Edited December 5, 2023 by SashaDevachelli 4
cloudbusting Posted December 5, 2023 Posted December 5, 2023 Thique may have fallen kinda flat as a performance, but at the same time it was like… situated perfectly for me Spoiler 2

BGKC Posted December 5, 2023 Posted December 5, 2023 I still kinda hate Thique apart from the bridge. Bomb choreo was written all over it both as a live and as a visual, but oh well. We wouldn’t want her to further injure herself over a song like Thique, but it really was an unimaginative bit for such a flamboyant song. Like to just stand there lounging on some railing doing the bare minimum? anyway, after seeing the film in theaters I’ve decided to buy a surround sound system for my living room TV. It was never something I considered getting until I saw the film and felt that bass rattle my puss. If it gets put on streaming I will need surround sound. 1
Kristie Kuwa Posted December 5, 2023 Posted December 5, 2023 That Review was a perfect example of "I dont like Bey so im gonna watch the Film to find things I dont like about her". Such bad journalism
kimberly Posted December 5, 2023 Posted December 5, 2023 regarding Thique/AUIYM — I think the only part of that portion that dragged was her transition between the two songs. I guess they didn't want to cut it up weirdly but they could have shown the twins or the crowd and cut back to Bey and she could jump into the song faster. the film transition being longer than the album version is the drag. otherwise, AUIYM definitely did not get people antsy or leaving here, people clapped after it ended in one of my screenings. it's so intense and beautiful, and the cinematography eats. it's a serve. Thique doesn't hit live, it's just not the kinda song you want to hear live vocals and instrumentation on tbh. good thing is, she keeps the performance pretty short. songs she shortens significantly throughout the show (Church Girl, Plastic, Thique, AUIYM, Summer Renaissance) are well-selected. 1
Iaintsorry Posted December 5, 2023 Posted December 5, 2023 I feel like she brought up the knee surgery to explain her being MIA from June 2022-May 2023 and the scrapped visuals. I know I know the rumor going around was that she had already finished the visuals and was shopping them around, but my theory is that they were almost finished, but she wasn’t able to complete it due to her surgery (and subsequent recovery) to the best of her ability and then the tour rehearsals were to start, so instead of putting her time into finishing a super delayed project, she just decided to focus all her energy into the tour and planned a tour film instead as the “visuals” for this era.

IA. It’s the transitions that killed those performances. Either way, she’d get more flack from fans if she didn’t include the big 3 in the film since literally every show had fans bitching about it. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. I feel she did good job of shortening the songs while still giving a good performance of the songs, 1
Jon Snow Posted December 5, 2023 Posted December 5, 2023 It didn’t even take seven days for this place to end up in chaos 1
Jon Snow Posted December 5, 2023 Posted December 5, 2023 Another mess is that they bullied Julez and Solange, and both of them saw it. It’s not about criticism, clearly. If you don’t like something, you don’t have to bully people like this. Same goes for the comments on Beyonce’s skin or why she didn’t say more about Uncle Johnny or be more vulnerable in the film. Those are not the things you can criticize. Let people live their lives and have privacy. 1
ThousandMiles Posted December 5, 2023 Posted December 5, 2023 Thique is one of the best performances of the night, are y’all on crack? And she doesn’t look bored, she looks c*nttttt. The moans she included in the KC performance The girls that get it
ScorpiosGroove Posted December 5, 2023 Posted December 5, 2023 remember when that virgo’s groove visual leaked ? we were all so sure it would come out soon, so happy… that was 6 months ago 2 1

Lose My Breath Posted December 5, 2023 Posted December 5, 2023 (edited) IDK why anyone would want to cut the AUIYM performance, with the vocals, and her single white female (the movie) performance. The transition from "I told you i'm a ******* problem" to "I really love you" is brilliant, with that little head tilt, and smirk. If anything, the audience was tired of the documentary stuff, especially towards the end. Edited December 5, 2023 by Lose My Breath 5
Dreajae Posted December 5, 2023 Posted December 5, 2023 I'm never forgiving black twitter for forcing Beyonce to be the face of an entire genocide and century long conflict after they kicked off a campaign to call her whitewashed at her premiere. They twerk to Barbie playing in Imax in Israel, call Zionist Timothee cute and celebrating Taylor's era and record sales despite critiques from her own fans regarding Feminism, tokenism and handling logistics for her own tour overseas. Idc. Some of yall will try to say "were not talking about that", it's disgusting how alot of yall as even fans can't stay on code and ultimately expect so much out of black artists, but particularly Bey as a woman. This is in light of Usher trying to make a comeback where he cosigned Israel but had to delete. His other scandals have also been well hidden. He is factually our biggest black male artist alive today. When Bey is officially retired. I want her to dig deep on the record regarding this. Cause I'm so tired of her being gaslighted and bullied by white and black media while they uphold anyone white and or black male against her. 1 6

Majority of audience I was with just wanted to vibe with the music and hated being interrupted by the end. 1
