This is an interesting discussion on the lack of visuals for this frustrating era. It leads me to wonder if something can be both traumatic and iconic?

 

Side note: when did Variety become such a trash publication? 

Oh honey they've been trash for like 90 years

Since Bey basically put them on mute when she made sure to ignore their review

y’all noticed those dramatic tweets everyone’s tweeting today ? "the media’s trying to pull a MJ on Bey" and stuff like that  

 

i do see the switch up since she’s the new media darling tho, the articles are getting a little too brave lately (ESPECIALLY variety) but we aren’t at the "Beyoncé sleeps with children" level yet bffr 

Variety don’t like her for whatever reason. Remember when they made an article saying her album leaked.

exactly, Variety has been shady towards her for a while now so idk why they are shocked… but it does feel like people are getting bolder when it comes to her now, even inside the industry 

 

like sir, where were you half a year ago when the tour started ?

Bey is a black woman whos been successful in this industry for 25+ years. This is an absolute anomaly. There are so so many who want to see her fall, and they will.continue to try their best to come for her. Thats why Bey is so legendary - she manages to survive and persist, way more than we probably know.

And the most powerful thing about her persisting is that it's due to sheer quality and her superb talent. Now THATS a statement

It feels like Variety wants a better working relationships with Bey’s team, and she (understandably) wants nothing to do with them. I wouldn’t be surprised if Parkwood passed along stale tea to further discredit them.

Bih, the way this GAGGED me when it happened.

 

I said NO mam.

 

The lashings for Yvette on Insta for her post about the movie  But she can't accept any criticism. I still remember when she blocked me because I pointed out that Cuff It is going viral on Tiktok and they should make it a new single. Lets hope the hag will gets fired soon.

Have you seen the movie? Both her daughters work for Parkwood now. She isn't going anywhere until she chooses to retire.

Very well said. Variety will kills puppies to get bey on their cover. Media has always been shady towards bey because she does not kiss their ass...this is not the first time at all. If they were really turning on her, they would have all trashed her film in their reviews. That's when you really know. Every negative press for bey does not mean they are trying to MJ her...hive is too damn dramatic.

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.

well good thing it's not because the visual part of 'visual album' does not exist!

I just had a transformative experience listening to AUIYM on the treadmill

 

It’s not for the lazy I fear

Well there's no material for them to go THAT far, but let's be clear -  if they could, they would! They try to get Bey tied up in civil court over a song, music video or trademark name. They want her husband to face criminal prosecution over rumors so they can project on her being a SA victim.

 

MJ, Whitney, and even Prince lost the war cause they ended up engaging with the press who never had any intention of giving them their flowers... until they died. There's a reason why Beyonce got emotional over the industry talk in the movie. And hinted at it in 2021.

Beys decision to close herself off and literally surround herself with the same people since the beginning and having Mama Tina around her at ALL times probably protections be from countless groomers, perverts, opportunists, druggies, assholes, ... I think none of us can fully comprehend what Bey probably experienced and also dodged/evaded

 

Her career is an anomaly and there has never been a female black artist to reach her heights AND sustain that level of adoration/fame/success for that long. Whitney made it to ~15 years of crazy success, Janet made it to ~20 years.

None of them sustained their level of success for as long as Bey and mind you, Bey is still going strong, still has the ability to debut at #1, still outdoes herself in terms of touring and thus commercial appeal, still has the ability to reach #1 at the Hot100. 

She really deserves so much more credit than she gets. Shes legendary.

She's literally translating everything by herself at this point!

 

Why can't Yvette just say that it's 'categorically false' like she usually does, though?
