I'll reserve judgment on the marketing but her unwillingness to let the walls down and be relatable is what ultimately hurts her business ventures. She can kinda get away with it in music because she's built a reputation for being quality and her lyrics are often fun and self-referential, but she's gonna have to spam herself giggling and getting her hair done or holding products like Rihanna and Ariana if she really wants to go the distance.

 

RIP us

Oh Bey.

 

The way I was/am down with this Cecred thing, only to see now that TS has just announced the Disney+ release of her concert film "with 5 extra songs" 

 

The competitive part of my mind is annoyed that Bey is seemingly chilling while ole girl continues to make musical moves that are helping cement this manufactured idea that she's this innovator who reigns over everyone. 

 

The logical side reminds that we must be near the VOD drop for the Rennie film. Using the AMC template for TS, by this time in the product cycle, an announcement has to be imminent. 

 

What will be interesting to see with Bey is if she "does a TS" and goes wide with the VOD first and then gives a streamer an "expanded version" with the cut songs and more doc footage. Or whether she goes straight to a streamer.

 

IMO, I say bypass the BS and go straight to a streamer. I'd take any of them, but Netflix still makes the most sense for Bey's demo and in terms of getting millions more eyeballs on what is a really great film. 

 

 

On a separate note, this reads like Bey surely?

100%.

 

Renaissance: The Film should be on Netflix.

As for the visuals (if they exist?): Netflix too. Amazon now has this derivative JLo visual, and TSwift is on Disney+. Based on how Netflix and HBO attempted to promote Beyonce's previous projects, they deserve first pick and still maintain a level of prestige that matches her projects.

 

Based on how the TS team has been moving the last 5-7 years, it is clear Beychella, Homecoming, and  Homecoming: The Live Album took them off guard as they had nothing to jump ahead with.

 

However... What these other girls don't have is the CATALOG of concert films (released and unreleased). I think that should be her "re-recording"-esque gimmick: Either a long-term "slow-drip" of her live tour archives and visual albums with brand exclusives... or one platform to house all of her live performances.

 

Lemonade: The Film, Formation World Tour, On The Run, OTR II: Live in Johannesburg, I Am... Yours, Live At Roseland, Live in Atlantic City, and The Beyonce Experience should all have digital homes.

Feels like a setup to make everyone think its their fav and to drive engagement.  

 

I can't really see Bey showing up for something like this.

Bey was already awarded Woman of the Year back in like 2009?

 

Spoiler

Edit: Taylor was awarded 3x there too, this prob her 4th.

Apparently it's Karol G.

She could still do the live album before Taylor, who will probably do it at the end of her tour.

idk if a stage name counts as a nickname, but some of her tour stops were stadiums

 

they technically didn’t say a stadium tour

But what about T*ylor releasing a concert film is a "musical move" that Beyoncé has not already done?

Karol G is most likely, imo:

 

- “Mañana Será Bonito” was the first all-Spanish album by a female artist to hit No. 1. 

- She added a whole stadium leg to her US tour last year, playing 15 stadium shows

- Her nickname is "Bichota"

Its always unbelievably crazy how delulu some of yall are in here

 

 

Make peace with the fact its more likely Ms Mystique leaves the movie as a theatre only release so we "can keep replaying it in our heads".

Yall are DREAMERS (with capital letters) thinking of drip releases, hoping for old concerts to be out on streaming, for additional Songs a la Taylor. Bey fingers herself everytime she limits herself and still somewhat succeeds. Its her kink

This might only last one more month on Billboard 200 if it keeps falling

I was certain this would overtake The Fame for most weeks at #1 on Billboard's top dance/electronic albums chart, but all of a sudden the fame is nearly 50 spots ahead on the bb200 and back to #1 on the genre chart. its her fault. she should' of just performed cuff it at the grammy's last year. thats all i wantd

but different strokes for different folks. nothing but respect for hardworking taylor
