and there's no logical explanation why two acts would be albums and the third something else

beyonce is the visual artist. she invented visual albums basically 

Yes literally, like idk it just does not make sense and it feels very uneven too. And you just know with Bey’s Virgo a** it would look strange to her too. Also since this is very much a new concept for her too, I think doing the regular format of a trilogy would best fit her and help the audience understand where she’s going with this.

I’m a bit salty about her doing an album and movie right as we are hearing rumors that Beyoncé has had a movie ready to go for some time. Especially seeing clips of the celebrity cameos and some of the fantasy elements. 

I truly believe just like the conspiracy with the Drake thing and him possibly stealing Beyoncé’s idea for a Dance Album (that ended up having zero to no substance at all to it, hence why it had no impact). I feel we could have the same thing with J. Lo. Maybe not, but not meaning to be shady or anything - I question J. Lo’s ability to have thought of the idea of an album/movie herself lmaooo!!! 

Drake is releasing a new song tomorrow

That’s kinda what I was thinking…like I don’t WANT to think it, but we knew he knew she was doing a dance album because of Heated, and I’m sure Jennifer knew about the Bey visuals. And I was just thinking about Rupaul doing that country ass performance on Drag Race a few weeks ago too 

 

It’s like they knew her timeframe and said “let’s get our **** out first!”

Good evening heifers, what’s on the docket for this week? 16 Carriages top 20? Justice for Church Girl? Maybe RWT dvd?

THIS THIS THISSS!!! I think this is why Bey is soooo private about everything now too. Like imagine being so genius about your craft, and having such a gift that you gotta gatekeep these ideas because MFers wanna get credit .

 

It’s funny though because they are awful at it. And so when Bey ends up doing it people forget that they did it and end up crediting Bey because she did it well… the best

jlo has been following bey's lead for a while now. the only thing her new film has over bey is budget. i hope the visuals for this era serve high budget. but i also don't think bey is dumb enough she spend a fortune of her own money on cgi ike jlo

from the glimpses and trailers we’ve gotten there’s no need to worry, and even beyond the budget there’s quality material at the core. the other lady… well there’s that old saying about putting lipstick on a pig 

16 Carrriages really got me tonight. Can you imagine this performance live on TV. Not a dry eye will be found! 🥹

Drake definitely got ideas after getting a sneak peek with "Heated", but the passion/intention ("Uncle Jonny connection") wasn't there. Unlike his earlier albums, he chose a genre this time that could easily sound hollow without the right intention.

 

Musically, JLo has been borrowing clusters of Beyonce's writers from her previous project for each album:

 

- The-Dream, Tricky Stewart, StarGate & Evan Bogart for her post-IASF 2011 project

- Detail, Sia, Dre Moon & bitter ST-reject Roccstar for her post-ST 2014 project

- Hit-Boy, iNk, Scott Storch, RAYE & Kaydence for this post Renaissance/Gift album)

 

... so I'm glad she can finally be seen as a front-runner for something with this film.   You can chalk it down to coincidence, but this series of events is too intentional for that.

 

Unfortunately, the music is supposed to be the focal point in perpetuity to pay back the cost of the visuals, but the album is looking DOA and none of the singles have charted.

Act II is titled Reneclaude.

 

I don't think we'll get any other songs before March 29 but I am PRAYING she does SNL release week. I know it's probably a reach but can you imagine how mega viral it'll go

I'm praying so hard... if she did a line-dance break down it would be MAJOR

Preferably so. It’s so anticlimactic for release day when these other girls have tossed out half the album prior. We have the following to look fwd to at the very least:

- Act ii title

- Act ii cover

- Act ii tracklisting

- Act ii pre-orders

 

SNL would be divine. If i dared to dream … a music video for THE

 

hate the internet

Texas Hold ‘Em reminds me of Muddy Waters particularly the recordings he did with public radio before he got famous. It’s the swing of the beat and the guitar, also some of her vocal stylings I can hear the connection.
