And he's humming to the first chorus of 6 Inch with lyrics under his breath (which he stopped abruptly - I think he realized he's not supposed to do that) when he's supposed to have not heard it before? I call BS. But hope the video fools people enough that they actually listen to Bey's albums.

My grandmother knows it and has never listened to the album that, and I believe the dad is a musician of sorts and he always pulls up the lyrics on genius on his phone to follow. so it's not difficult for him to hum along after hearing the chords and melody just once. 1
Mitsouko Posted January 10 Posted January 10 Listening to this a lot lately. Would love an album like this from Giraffe
swissman Posted January 10 Posted January 10 (edited) I've got to say, I did not find this era to be her "worst". Perhaps if I added up everything I might come to that conclusion, but insofar as the feelings it gave, the dedication to listening to the album based upon the quality of the music itself, and the overall vibes and cultural moments it gave us, I was completely satisfied. It'd be a different story if the record was not yet another artistic peak for her. Perhaps then I'd desire her to fill out the era by trying for hits, releasing videos, and doing performances. But with the quality she gave us? I have no real notes. The era still feels historic in a way only a few in pop besides Beyoncé have achieved, not by hammering it into public consciousness through traditional marketing "eras" or appealing to the every man, but by giving us pure art. I think a lot of the Hive have found it "tough" or "aggravating" or "her worst" because they've placed upon her an expectation she simply was never going to meet, with or without the adjustments that could have made it an even fuller era even without visuals. We've known she's a self-sabotager since at least 2013, and that she has only increased the ways she'll do it with each subsequent release. While there certainly were communication issues that caused a lot of fan strife, I do feel that many of her fans allowed themselves to sit in their complaints far too often and it created a Hive-culture of dissatisfaction, ultimately creating the aggravation many are glad to be free from now that the era feels officially closed. I think going forward, accepting eras for what they are, focusing on the work and not the lack of, and enjoying the mystery itself is a key to happiness. And let's be honest. Most pop legends are generally not offering as much as Beyoncé did 25 years after their debut: the album is one of her best works; she set out on arguably her best tour; we got a theatrically released concert film; some of the best remixes she's ever done... imo it's an era for the books. That she was able to achieve so much by doing so little is a testament to her power as both an artist and a pop star, and even if as fans we want everything maximized to her favour, she really doesn't seem to be bothered by that and for me that's all I need to know. As for the visuals? I think one day they will come, but that they are no longer going to be part of the "era" as we perceive "eras" to be. Edited January 10 by swissman
BGKC Posted January 10 Posted January 10 To make a long story short, It should have been Parkwood Studios that caught fire instead of her childhood home over the holiday. 14

I get what they were going for with the videos, the staging during the "America Has A Problem" segment, the new dates announcement- Again, it doesn't make sense since it's solely based on visuals that have not surfaced. so true. this is my biggest gripe with the era. all the visual cues, parts of the show, photoshoots and even merch references the film but she pretends like it doesn't exist? insane marketing tactic.

jane Posted January 10 Posted January 10 I think the album and then the tour were the most effective of the era and tha's what Beyoncé wanted to achieve. She focuses now on the things that people will remember for a long time, anything else is noise and forgotten quickly especially now with social media, things are so fleeting, she is right to not waste too much energy on them. 1

Triton Posted January 11 Posted January 11 So what’s realistically next for Giraffe? No more visual speculation, no more Act II or trilogy nonsense. Roc Nation Brunch - Sat. Feb 3rd, blurry videos of her mingling. Instagram Post. Not entertaining the idea of her going to the Grammys for Tina Turner, she already did a tribute. Maybe a quick lil spoken video at most. Lil Appearance/party in Las Vegas for Ushers halftime show. - Sun, Feb 11th. She’ll watch it somewhere near but won’t make a fuzz about it. Oscars Gold Party - Sun, March 10th. No pics, just an Instagram post. Someone mentioned the cover of Essence? Is that reliable?

Hallad173 Posted January 11 Posted January 11 Plastics is just a long interlude while we wait for her actual best song. 1 2
AxelFox Posted January 11 Posted January 11 I do think the final version fit the song better but I just love how more sexual and sensual this is
