i still have a very, very small hope for the visuals, but i haven't completely lost hope yet

 

went to see rennie world tour film again, it was my sixth time lmao. if they keep it in cinemas here in mexico for the next weekend, i'll be going again. i'm not risking this ***** not putting this on streaming after. and we all know she's capable of doing that

 

also, has anyone caught that some shots of the concert (during break my soul and formation/diva specially) look weirdly compressed? they look like they downloaded them off of youtube in 1080p lol. it's not the whole section, but certain shots look very LQ/compressed. i wonder if she'll fix that if she's considering a release on streaming, 'cause i doubt she'll let that slide if that's gonna live online forever

we gotta drop the visuals topic in 2024 for our mental health lol.

yes! specifically, I think it's mostly the shows in Europe + I think she wore the Pharrell Williams LV catsuit in... Detroit. those look especially crispy on IMAX. 

 

my guess is that they weren't fully set on filming the show for commercial release yet, so they relied on what they had for those shots.

 

I also noticed the same for the "Swarm on these hands, n----" part of AHAP, that clip is from Stockholm night 1. you can see the quality jump immediately after she says that and they switch to a later US show.

Please no more Rennie in 2024. I just want to leave the era (not the music, duh) in the past. Its been a chore and Bey also needs to reset and at least try to plan the next launch

An entire visual would have been nice, but all that really went to waste was the lack of singles + videos for said singles. Though all in all between the tour and the film, I am perfectly fed. If the visuals were to drop tmr I would obviously break a heel to watch them, but I’d much rather it be Act 2 atp.

I would love an anthemic track like this for Act II

 

 

Or bops like these

The Renaissance era should end with 2023. We gotta let the visuals go and move forward at this point. Any release of the visuals in 2024 will be kinda weird. 2024 should be the launch of Act II. We now understand that her knee injury ruined a lot of her initial plans and it's okay. She is human and things happen.  I think there is a lot to learn from this era to improve upcoming eras.

Kinda of this stance too. 

 

Although, I'd really love to see her salvage some aspect of the visuals. Be that in a surprise drop alongside the on-demand release of the doc or as part of some elaborate visual that encompasses Act 1 and 2. 

 

If none of this is happening, then yes, it's time to call Rennie a day and move on. She and us. 

 

Dropping the visuals in 2024 not only won't make much sense (nor move the needle), but I worry that it will set a scary precedent in terms of how she'll handle future releases. Rennie is literally my fave album of hers (which is some feat as a fan from No, No, No) but the oddness of the era (specifically around the visuals) has been kinda ugh. We all thought the 1-year wait for BIK was something, but two years for Rennie? What would stop her from doing it again and thinking it's the move?

 

Similarly, her then randomly being "on time" with the visuals for future releases will make this whole situation make even less sense in hindsight.   

 

So, yeah, she should sneak-release the visuals with the doc's streaming drop and call it a day.

The visual album idea should’ve been left in the past alongside the surprise album one. Lowkey every time she kept doing both concepts it just diluted the impact of ST. While Lemonade having a film made sense cause there’s a clear narrative throughout the album, I personally never thought Renaissance needed to be a visual album. Even when I imagine RENAISSANCE visuals in my head, I’m picturing unique concepts for each one.

 

Next era let’s keep it to MVs just for the singles.

I love Black Is King and I'm happy we got it but I agree with the rest. Renaissance is not an album that feels like it needs a movie with a storyline. And as great as movies are, if the videos for singles are not released along the singles then I find it a pity. 

 

If she wants to keep doing movies then she should release individual and timely videos for the singles first and then close the era with a film that ties the whole album together. It would serve as a perfect closure of the era. 

We don't know if she would've performed in the Grammys had she not been recovering from surgery tho. That alone would've changed the whole perception of the era, because most of us were assuming she was done with performing at any awards show other than the Oscars.

I seriously stan the Pointer Sisters' Break Out album. The 12" club mix of Jump For My Love is one of my favorite songs of all time.

 

 

If Giraffe ever served this I'd combust

The best documentary category was discontinued before Bey was even born.

what exactly would be waiting on? 

It’s time to pack up the RENAISSANCE era at the end of the year and put our merch and hopes & dreams for this era in the archives for our grandchildren 

I'm in 100% agreement that this era needs to be wrapped up. A mess.

They introduced a "box office achievement" category in order to award certain people

Its not even labeled as a soundtrack song on the release. Highly doubt it would be eligible as bey always suffers the blows of small technicalities. 
 

lets just enjoy 7/11 2.0 for the bop that it is.

We’d have better luck at the tonys if she launched Lemonadé  the musical.

we kinda do since she had a year to perform anywhere before the surgery and did nothing, so an oscar performance every 5 years and private elite weddings it is 

 

OT : next year is gonna be very nasty when virtually everyone will release albums  and go on huge tours while we’ll be stuck waiting for moldy music videos and the occasional yacht pic 

 

as for "let’s pack Renny up and move on to ACT II" hive… i wish you an ounce of luck, it’ll only get worse from here on out

I pity those who hope for visuals at this point. Probably the same people who still hope for FWT DVD. Pitiful

I'm sorry but having no visuals is beyond iconic at this point. The fact that she's THE visual album girl and didn't do so but still got a #1 hit, #1 album #1 tour #1 film...  it says a lot.
