Crayzik Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 I saw that Ms Tina shared on Instagram a preview of Victoria Monet's new video and this comment took me out "I'm glad SOMEBODY doing visuals!!!" 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alien superstore Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Charli's music with AG is so so good. I'd love for Bey to work with AG again in the future, and also with Charli. It'll never happen, but BRAT's just so so good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kristie Kuwa Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 I wonder how it must feel working on These visuals knowing that people are very likely over them a week after their release because people stopped caring altogether Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cbreezy Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 (edited) Largely on a break from the Base as literally nothing is happening. Nothing. Which in turn starts to see us ruminate or arguing about...nothing. That said, the weirdest part of this is how weird it all is lol. I'm legit dumbfounded. I consider myself pretty rooted in logic and concrete info, so there's one part of me that is "ok" with things because it's certain that she is working on....something. Visuals, tour etc. Like it's not a case of idle for idle sake. However, the - nothing - that is currently occupying this present point in the project's cycle is odd and pretty disheartening. Her team are radio silent (Andrew and co) and the whole Cowboy yee-haw and hoopla feels like ages ago. It's going to be hard to reheat the buzz, which is why I worry that the visuals or tour or whatever will be well-received but won't give the album the revitalized push they think it might. At this point, I wouldn't even be mad if she simply dropped Act III in Q3/Q4 and wrapped this torturous and tedious era up lol. Bracing for a potential something around the vinyl release but even that feels like a clown-like move on my part. We'll see.

That would be the only saving grace - act 3 in fall, movie in december right on time to sell the trilogy as a bundle for christmas, announcing the tour around the next SB or close to the release of Act3, and do a proper World tour starting next year focussing on the acts and the classics. I would forgive her the shitiness of the first half of 2024, but unfortunately, the sensible plan I just layed out will probably remain another dream of mine Edited June 14 by Kristie Kuwa 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafael Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 (edited) I know these comparisons with trendy hits are kinda unfair but they are still funny: Please Please Please by Sabrina Carpertener is doing Beyoncé's entire discography numbers today alone (both at around 12M) Nasty by Tinashe alone is outstreaming the entire Renaissance album Neck, what have you done to us . I know complete silence (with no sights or rumours of vacation) could mean she's working but still............. so unnecessary Edited June 14 by Rafael . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brikenbur Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 (edited) It's quite nice not caring about Beyoncé's legacy just like Beyoncé herself Let me dive deep into stanning these other pop girlies!

cloudbusting Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 as a hybrid Hive/SweeTee, I've been enjoying seeing the one who's continued to hustle her ass off despite tanking for a decade 1) finally get some recognition and 2) capitalize on the moment really puts how complacent the bigger artists can get into perspective Like yes, Bey has already been through that period of nonstop grinding, but there are ways she/her team can support her music without any effort on her part. My flop faves remind me that quality and drive aren't enough - sometimes you just need that little extra bit of luck to push through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShouldersSideways Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 She is stubborn to a fault and frankly has a big ego. She thinks she's proving a point by not lifting a finger and as most stubborn people do she's simply hurting herself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenB Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 again, the people I feel bad about are the small artists that make art pieces for her who could really use the promo. I mean that etsy shop person's business BOOMED once it was found out she made the sequined hat.. Especially since most of them probably loan her the pieces and are banking on the hype that they worked on a beyoncé project, meanwhile the whole process is being held up because the billionaire isn't getting paid enough from streaming companies... Why do I feel like in 5 years Nadia will be also be saying what a nightmare it was directing this project with NDA's, no info on when it will be released, and late night texts from Bey saying she doesn't like it and they need to reshoot some videos 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king_queen Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 (edited) One thing I don't want is multiple monologues scattered throughout like Lem and BIK Gurl don't nobody wanna hear your bedtime voice.

Club classic Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 I keep coming back to CC every second week, it's such a slow-burner masterpiece for me. Usually I consume new releases up front, I'm taking my time with this one and I really like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CécredSpaces Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 like, i swear to god, lemonade and Black Is king are great, but the editing is hot f**kin garbage. i wish they never let her use editing software back in i am world tour dvd. that's where this incoherent editing sh*t began 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She thinks she's proving a point by not lifting a finger and as most stubborn people do she's simply hurting herself. Bey's antics are grating, but I really really realllly take umbrage with the "she doesn't give a f**k" and has this huge ego rhetoric. I think it's more a case of how she "lifts her finger" now looks different from before. When she was sweating it on the promo rounds, she wasn't simultaneously producing feature-length, cinematic visual albums. Which is a point that shouldn't be negated. I think she, and by proxy me as a fan, have unplugged from this notion of her being this machine with everything to prove. As her art matures and the demands of the scale she's embracing heighten (aka film-scale visuals), the lion's share of her energy will be funneled into that. At this age and stage, pretending to be able to do it all or trying to do it all, isn't humanly feasible. Or reasonable looking at how many of our idols have burned out. It continues to be the toughest pill to swallow for me as a fan, but theoretically, acts are supposed to bust their behinds on the rise to be able to reach the level where their success is somewhat automated...like Bey's. Make no mistake, she's f**king up having zero visibility while she works on whatever she's working on. She has more than enough resources to ensure she/the project have even a mild presence to ensure sustained buzz and she's not doing that. I don't get ego or hard-headedness from this, I just get not reading the room or better yet the industry. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
