  • It was the best concert of my life, bar none. Idc!    It was extraordinary, it was ineffable.  I knew I loved it based on the videos but I... Hey I don't know.    Best moment

    I know this award is a joke but the point is, she has cemented herself in history with the likes of Whitney and Lauryn. And on top of that she won an award for a genre that completely ridiculed and ex

Bey is on such a different level, it just DOESNT make sense. Like lets be real for a second.

Someone capable of recording American Requiem and Virgos Groove is supposed to go back with someone who has released "Bad Hair"? Be serious (and I love Kelly and Michelle and loved DC)

I don't think she is opening with YA YA

I get the rationale behind it "Hello girls. Hello Beyoncé" but I dunno I think she'll follow the tracklist like she did with Rennie

i kinda don't think (personally) the way that this album flows would make for intuitive set placements …. like all the songs to get you up on your feet are at the end after many a slow songs , and some start-stop moments like THE/BODYGUARD being after songs like PROTECTOR/16 CARRIAGES … or DAUGHTER into SPAGHETTI and then ALLIGATOR TEARS/JUST FOR FUN :skull: 

 

like it works for the listening experience of the album , but it would be jarring for a live show

 

if she does a similar approach to the RWT , i hope she's her own opener again and does an assortment of older songs to showcase her vocals with more country arrangements: XO, Me, Myself and I, If I Were a Boy, All Night perhaps .. then gets into the CC flow

 

maybe YA YA is too obvious but she does literally welcome people to the "Beyoncé Cowboy Carter Act II and the Rodeo Chitlin Circuit" and i feel like it would be weird to do that intro for the song in the middle / near the end of the concert

She'll obviously open with American Requiem. Its literally her thesis statement of the album 

or she could do American Requiem as the end of the initial vocal showcase set (again if she's following what she did with RWT) straight into YA YA ….. would truly love that

I love Ya Ya, II HANDS, and Tyrant, but they're not singles yall lol

 

II Most Wanted

Bodyguard

Levii

 

MAYBE Jolene (UK putting it on radio now)

 

But it doesn't seem like they're interested in releasing anything yet, they're still pushing Texas

so no one noticed beencountry.com posted 5 pics yesterday but it's 4 today ? by monday (eclipse day) it should be 1… :gayoncecat3:

Good point.  I guess we will know more today if it's a countdown of some sort. 

 

I called her doing something for the eclipse a week ago.  There wont be another total until the 2030s and she's eclipse-centric lol

THIS. like i'm sorry no one outside the "kelly sings better than beyoncé" birds cares about them in this day and age. i'd see them as an obstacle that would just slow bey down on stage, let alone in a studio, same reason why i'd hate an OTR III… you can't have a performance beast like bey stand next to grandpa on stage anymore:suburban:

 

by all means do the little reunions every decade and throw in a dj khaled collab with jay since she loves those so much but as for the rest we want solo bey and SOLO bey only

I could see American Requiem at the end since it starts with the line "Nothing really ends" and maybe Amen would be first?

Either way I don't think the transitions will be like the RWT and the album is sequenced into diferent parts for a reason

i do want a DC reunion tour but i obviously want it after she does all the acts … i could see her doing that before she turns 50 and then just coasts and does mainly residencies for the remainder of her career ….. i need miss ma'am to rest as well bc she's done A LOT in her career and deserves to take it easy , no one is ever gonna take away what she's done and accomplished on a stage away from her

 

Beyoncé wants a fat cheque first and foremost , and a DC reunion tour would be …… profitable doesn't even come close to what that tour would do

Also, whoever said she was still filming CC, I doubt it.  Nadia said "coming soon", and that one producer saying it's the best thing she has ever done. 

final thought: i hope she saves the Suga Mama revival for the act iii tour …… Suga Mama is going to EAT sandwiched inbetween some potential rock songs

Honestly, I can still see her making new albums in her 50s.

YA YA is too …. idk the word for it , to be a single … like it functions so much better as a song to sell the tour to the Hive (cuz she's def opening with that one) that it ever would as a single

 

THE was the perfect lead for the album , BODYGUARD should def be a single at some point (unlikely but SHOULD BE) , along with LEVII'S JEANS … but i am really hoping there's a push behind II MOST WANTED bc the idea of the vocals on that song being the main selling point is what most animates me. like it deserves to smash just for how much her and Miley did with that one.

If there's anyone that can make music like this work, it's Beyoncé.

Ya Ya would also be played on Urban and R & B stations. I mean  Hey Ya was a hit and somewhat similar era sounding.

My new Top5:

 

2 Hands 2 Heaven

Ya Ya

Texas Hold Em (Pony Remix)

2 Most Wanted

Bodyguard

(American Requiem / Tyrant)

YAYA does not need to be a single and I dont think anyone is saying that. What we need is another viral song to keep the album a float. 

Y'all are crazy if you think radio will touch Ya Ya :rip:

 

And just because that dude made that video doesn't mean it'll go viral

Why can't you find Beyonce in the music section of Metacritic? Like if I click on her name it only shows movies/tv. I have to google  the specific album for it to come up.

Made a playlist of Bey's entire discography to listen on shuffle and remembered I used to be a die hard stan for 4. It really is an underrated album. So many gems :jonnycat:

4 is an amazing album

 

It's where she decided to switch her priorities with her music, and I think we are all super grateful for that.  She could've ended up like Usher, or her other peers without 4
