Selling your fans who just spent thousands on concert tickets months before, an unfinished vinyl without any sort of disclaimer before, during and/or after release is the a textbook example of mismanagement (and greed). Ya Ya cutting off that abruptly and no one on her team noticing/doing anything about it is another.

Neither of those things seem like textbook mismanagement. If they are mismanagement, they surely don't deserve to be in a textbook. There's far worse things for an era than being vague about vinyl contents*. In fact, if you think she was selling her fans lemons by offering a vinyl with no details of its contents and no one would have bought them if they knew, then the "management" was correct because it ended up earning her 62,000 vinyls on debut week, more than she ever had before.

 

 

*I also just think it's not that big of a deal, and any fan who would be impetuous enough to purchase an album not knowing its tracklist or contents, before it's even out, are probably the same kind of fan who would love to own a first-edition, limited pressing of a historic record. It's just that people (including fans) love to have a reason to be mad at Beyoncé and take advantage of any reason they can find.

I too love to pretend I Am… Sucha Farce doesn't exist most of the time

 

but in general yeah I agree with this

Jesus Christ.

 

Am I the only one who thinks I Am is not that bad?

 

You guys act like that album killed all your pets or something.

 

 

If anything, DIL is kind of the worse album of the two.

let's make love in the summertime
on the sands, beach sands, make plans
to be in each other's arms

he was a creative director for the tour, which is the best part about that era.

eh not really - being very contemporary is part of why most of it aged like milk

Why Don't You Love Me and Single Ladies are completely uniquely sounding songs that were not on the radio.

This was only a couple of dates though.

 

The I Am Tour setlist was a mess sometimes.

 

 

There's like five different setlists.

I think this one works better without Sweet Dreams imo.

 

The color hue of the background is also better.

 

She should have just had Sweet Dreams on the setlist from the start and kept it.

 

Even though she's clearly allergic to singing it in full even on this tour ahbhdbasb

 

HOO
