Renaissance era was so much more fun than whatever this **** is supposed to be 

 

Bittersweet knowing I got to witness Renaissance Tour but also no other tour may live up to that

Trump coming out with his big silhouette and a giant TRUMP sign at the RNC like favé did Crazy in Love at the 2003 BETs. Ugh mother's influence knows no bounds.

Oh, to hear "Yoncé" for the first time again Imagine taking that bass and shoving it up your ass 

 

Yoncé is literally one of my fav songs of her ever

Great choices to be honest. POTS tho 

My intention was to reward its production and vocal arrangement, that funky bass is SO good. She was channeling her inner Sade there, and I was indeed longing to hear Beyoncé in a song like that for so long.

 

Anyhow, it was hard to choose just two songs off CC since I'd argue that it's Bey's best well-written album. Daughter, Alligator Tears, and Just For Fun are career highlights.

You are so right. Riiverdance is the most underrated. By far. I just think she failed to make a point with it. The song itself is long and one note. 

Unfortunately, it's monotonous. I wish we got a sharper blend of Country, Disco, and House

actual discussion in here??? what's next, Cécred shutting down tomorrow?

we can only hope 

One thing that does frustrate me about the visuals is that they clearly were meant to have already dropped before the tour. Whole set-peices were designed around what we can assume to be visual references (KNTY News, the COZY robots, the Alien Abduction from her bed in AS, the Aphrodite Shell (as confirmed with the VG leak), the Heated press conference set, etc etc. 

 

All of those live references went to waste because we didn't understand them outside of the context of the tour.

 

It's as if she debuted the baseball bat camera smash during the VMAs rather than the Lemonade film. It's fine, it's still fun, but it just isn't the way I want to experience these ideas for the first time.

I was blackout drunk when I commented that and the other thing  what I meant was that she failed to make it interesting. It started off very interesting, but just went no where. Lyrically it's one of the best songs of the album, but I totally agree with this sentiment. An Irish blend of country and disco would have instantly made it a standout hit. There was a mashup I came across that mixed Riiverdance with Gypsy Woman and it was amazing.

She obviously didn't like the final results but i still have faith they are coming next year after ACT III

if i ever have to read or hear the world visuals again i swear to god ROC NATION YOU WILL CRUMBLE 

We back to the rankings?

 

The more I think about it, the more Im

excited for the possible residency. Especially if it's a play on the three acts. It would be much harder to set that kind of thing up on a world tour compared to a high budget set that stays in place. The Rennie tour was already a challenging and costly set up. A cinematic, more intimate setting of a three act series in Vegas would demolish careers. Unless she decided to perform career classics and fan favorites, that's fine too.

Yeah, there's no way she's not gonna release something. That being said, I don't really want visuals for Rennie if they aren't fantastic and full of brilliant choreo. It's a record that really needs that. And Rennie has proved it can maintain stature and relevancy in the current music landscape without music videos anyway, so if they're not perfect I'd rather she just left it alone. (tbh I didnt like the ITG teaser at all. Sitting down in a bar? Is that it? Idk...)

 

Cowboy Carter though is an album that absolutely could benefit from a visual backdrop. The Texas teaser was fantastic and really curious to me, and the storyline of healing radio frequencies is already intriguing on the backdrop of a likely Trump landslide. 

 

We'll see what happens I guess

which one's her worst tour hair, makeup and outfit wise ? and why is it TMCSWT

the blue catsuit is incredible but yeah, you kinda spilled with the rest 

 

tbh I don't think a lot of them were actually BAD, but definitely not at her usual level if that makes sense
