The fact Bey could very well transition into her Pop/Rock Tina Turner era in her late 40s and make it work  

And she's the ONLY one in the music industry who's capable of doing such thing  

Ugh i just cant wait for the album and BMS grew on me so much

The long awaited RNB collab as the second single or lead for act ii ( assuming it’s a separate project) would destroy! Bey and Rih have come so far and carved their own lanes now so I’d love to see that collab. Nicki would kill it too of course. 

No.

 

My European Pride Marathon starts today, I better hear BMS at least 3 times every single time I go out

 

 

And the white twinks better get their goddamn lives

this isn’t true, right? I randomly see people say stuff like this and don’t get it because it makes zero sense.

I'm pretty sure it is.

 

I also stream from the actual store, just in case

Sometimes I wonder what does ATRL's definition of longevity? Flopping for most part of your career only to be relevant in one era does not count imo. Beyoncé 25 years later is still one of the most talked about; acclaimed and winning Grammys when some of the legend in the past had been panned and only limited to chart success. 

 

For example, MDNA debuted with 300K but the album struggled to go Platinum and only spawned #7 peaking hit. Its obviously a success but it's not huge smash that could be compared to a newbie at the time.

If Adele serves a disco moment with soaring vocals alongside Bey I would not be mad. 

 

They could serve an Enough Is Enough (Barbra & Donna). It would demolish

MDNA wasn't huge, but COADF was, and Madonna didn't flop most of her career?  Not a good example

I just can never find anything to corroborate that. All I ever see is that a stream is counted as long as it’s sourced from the app, whether it’s downloaded or not. I don’t even know where the “every other second or third song” thing came from either.
 

I’m only asking because I’ve been playing this song out and if my efforts haven’t counted because I pre-saved the album, then…that would be blow.

But did you actually download the track to your phone, or you just stream it from your library? 

 

If it's downloaded to your phone, you're not streaming it, it's saved, so maybe they don't track these plays?

He flat out said he never thought he could ever become a Beyoncé fan until after watching her Sweet Dreams medley performance in Las Vegas, watch the end:

 

 

He's is so on point. She is a vocal titan and I realized when I was singing her runs in public (used to doing so since DC days and choir) so I have some of her inflections naturally in my voice from mimicking her singing for so many years. People are always surprised and impressed at the runs, but they sound natural to me since Bey has done them for so long and im also a Mariah fan.

Her melismatic phrasings are vocal Olympic material, to say the least. It takes great authority to embellish vocal lines with runs, so high five to you! Would love to hear you croon! Beyoncé makes voicing seem deceptively simple. Riffing and running correctly takes discipline and insane practice to NOT make them sound forced.

 

He was practically in utter disbelief and almost had his eyes out their sockets after hearing Beyoncé execute an open throat operatic falsetto:

This is one of her best live performances. The whole show is a masterpiece, plus love she sang a lot of songs that never got much attention in her live performances previously (I.e. resentment, that’s why you’re beautiful, etc.)

It's arguably one of 21st centuries' greatest vocal performance to date out of all genres of music, including gospel and opera. To add, she was sick so imagine if her pipes, diaphragm and nose were in pristine shape

So. Does anybody remember that screenshot of an iMessage (or whatever) convo where they teased BMS and another song title back in May?

My 1 wish is that if bey is doing a visual…please let it be a real film 

As much as we love having a visual for each song…getting everything at once kills the era. 
Have a real film that supports the message of the album and separately have music videos for the songs that will be pushed. 
Please no poems. The writers always end up being shady in the end…when no-one of like the poems anyway. 

I love the Lemonade poems actually.

Not anymore lol

When Bey decides to go back to R&B and serves straight up classics like 4 on steroids with a tour based on herself and a live band like Glastonbury for B9, after hip hop, afrobeats, house and country records… The range, the power, the acclaim

Same. It fits the era and its meaning.

I hope R&Byoncé make a small appearance on Renaissance.

So JT has been a non factor on the charts since *checks notes* his last album? Thats not really a bad thing.

 I think he’s plotting a comeback for next year and it’s going to be big. Dont let atrl and twitter fool you
