The way the lack of a Beyoncé performance is being reported on by the media - at least this way she'll get the message that people want to see her. Only a small amount of us even knew about the Olympics speculation so she probably didn't even know we were expecting to see her there, but there's no way she can't be aware of the disappointment of yesterday - not just by the hive but it looks like many people! I'm sure she'll be very flattered to know how in demand she is and hopefully it makes her think about giving us a performance soon.

I was literally at the gym and looked up at the TV and saw the news talking about the mayhem of Beyoncé not performing lmaooo!!! 
 

I knew that it was bad but what they did was truly classless. Not even Yvette denied the rumors until RIGHT when it hit 9:00pm! 
 

Yvette really is TERRIBLE at her job and tbfh I think holding Beyoncé back lmaooo!!! Sh*t is EMBARRASSING.

that also saddens me abt the way she handling the trilogy. bc shes one of the few black artist to get ppl eyes back on country, rock, blues, etc. and making it mainstream. the injury was one thing during renaissance but now ….  

 

+ given cc is more country leaning im not expecting intense choreo or tv performance. but give us some kinda performance of the songs or at least go live and sing texas hold em.

The injury was her excuse but now… there really is none. But she STILL went on the biggest tour of her career and still performed with the injury. And she literally put on one of the biggest/ most culturally defining/insane tours in HISTORY. So I'm still so confused as to what is even going on rn.

We need BODYGUARD (WETTER REMIX) before that!

 

Wow this is reminding me of just how much less she's given this era compared to Rennie.

im still obsessed with cuff it (wetter remix).

What exactly has she given this era post album release? Remind me please.

 

 

To my understanding, its impossible to have done less post album release than Ms Neck has demonstrated. If anyone ever wondered what doing 0 means after an album release, CC is the era to point to. She truly outdid herself this time

 

Y'all need to get into this song

It's Sweet Honey Buckin'! 
 

She just cramped everything on it from the start so that she won't have to bother with the extra work post album release anymore.  

 

OT: Dangerously In Love is a classic but not many will get it. 

only true r&b stans understand dangerously in love.

Just got out of Blink Twice the directorial debut of Zoe Kravitz and she used "I'm That Girl" in the movie. It sounded so good with the bass. Took me back for a sec.  

I gasped when that music kicked in during the movie 

 

extremely well used in the film 

This base is DEAD 

 

the way we went from one of the most active to barely any post 

Im shocked how it's been 12 years and we still don't know what this shoot is from

It could be worse. Rihanna's base is currently on page 7 (I checked)

I am obsessed with her DIL performance during RWT.

when was the last time that demo singer released an album ?

we just had a brand new album months ago (even though most of the fanbase and bey pretend it never exists )

I think it was just a quick ig post, as at that time ST was at its early stage.

 

I still remember the Ratchet rumor lmao, the alleged Gaga X Beyoncé X Rihanna X Azealia Banks collabo.

I can't find the full version but there's a version of this pic with a film camera and dashboard you typically see on MVs and films. It was def a MV or tour interlude shot. This was when the early version of ST was set to drop before the Super Bowl.

Wow. What a time!! Azealia Banks was really on her come-up. Between "Ratchet" and "Red Flame" for Lady Gaga, she was brought to the studio by Pharrell to work on a guide track for ATM Jam (originally for Beyonce), almost secured a place on ST with her "Partition" guest verse, had a side music project with Cara Delevigne (a band called "ABCD" and their lead single was "Blossom", Azealia's solo version leaked online), was rumored to have worked on music with Kanye for his GOOD Music "Cruel Winter" second compilation, and was in the studio with Hit-Boy for Rihanna (all of her demos for Rih have leaked online: "Kilo", "Let You In", "La Dominadora"). Crazy how you can truly be your own worst enemy and self-sabotage. If she was able to keep it together for those 3 years (2012-2015)... who knows what the female rap landscape would look like today.

 

Back on topic: I definitely think a music video was planned for Bow Down.

If I'm remembering this correctly, there was the IG photo you've posted above, another where she almost looks bow-legged in all black with a "Bow Down" snapback and a smoke machine about to break down some choreography, and another where it looked like she was driving a UPS truck (one of those mail carrier trucks with no side doors) in a warehouse/parking garage with striped dress pants. All three looked like they were taken around the same time.

The fact that she was able to work on self titled, make music videos for the songs, WHILE touring all in the same year.

It makes sense. Bow Down/I Been On was also released during that time if I'm not mistaken.

 

It was supposed to be just a fun surprise drop on Soundcloud, but eventually Bey changed her mind and decided to keep it on the album lmao, which is kinda ironic considering the absence of Grown Woman, isn't it?

 

I also remember that the visuals for Flawless were initially part of No Angel, so she likely scrapped the early version of Bow Down, in which the look above was featured I guess, and reused those visual for Flawless. It seems to be so, given that corny choreography, as it seems to have been created in a day or so.

 

Flawless was the last video to be shoot... I guess? I remember the inside tea, describing it as a song with a "grunge atmosphere" or something like that.

What is there to talk about? Rih is doing more than Bey at this point.
