QueenB Posted August 26 Posted August 26 I personally stan FWT a LITTLE bit more, because it's the tour where her and I had a moment. But I will say RWT overall was more fun, despite FWT having a better setlist 2

She stops in front of me, I try to do what she's doing, and well I make her laugh... Yes, I book marked the video where it happens. There's another video with the angle you see me at, but we don't need to see that one (happens at :42 - 1:04) 1
Kalmanta Posted August 26 Posted August 26 What she did at the VMAs 2014 can never be undone. The setlist, sequencing and transitions, overall production, vocals, her flirting with the camera, overall iconography were all top-notch. Truly one of the greatest medleys in award show history. 10 4

Chris Posted August 26 Posted August 26 Formation Tour is cute but Renaissance Tour eclipsed it and not because of recency bias. 1

BGKC Posted August 27 Posted August 27 (edited) I simply CANNOT WAIT for the cash grabs we're in for during the holidays before she loses AOTY in February come to think of it. I hope whatever she does for Mufasa is genuinely good and a karaoke staple. Edited August 27 by BGKC 1

I can already see her slapping a Santa hat on Chardoneigh and charging us $60 for a Gildan tee… And me really stressing myself out all day on whether or not I should get it before it sells out ! 1

They played the same OneRepublic song over and over and over again
Chris Posted August 27 Posted August 27 When she dropped merchandise for Conman Carter. Greedy ass b!tch.
alien superstore Posted August 27 Posted August 27 (edited) The slow opening of the RWT did not work at all (on its own it was a stunning vocal showcase, but had no cohesion with the rest of the show whatsoever, and the 'beyonce opening for beyonce' thing wasnt conveyed well enough for it to be a funny switch-over once Rennie started). On top of that, Cuff It's performances never never worked for me (she never managed to nail the delivery of her 'we gon **** up the night' head voice line), nor did Virgo's Groove (really, thats the song you're staying completely still for?). RWT has some career highlight moments for me (Heated, Cozy, BMS, Pure/Honey, even Church Girl) but it's not her best setlist and it wasnt her best tour. It was her most fun, and I loved it, but it was obviously rushed and just didnt completely work I'm afraid. On that topic, she needs to stop with these sunglasses during live performances. I'm not sure if they help boost her confidence or if it's purely a fashion choice, but it cuts her off from the audience completely and they render her charisma mute. TAKE THEM OFF MA'AM!

From my mind to your keyboard! Because a lot of what you wrote is TEA! I will preface by saying I literally LOVE the RWT and from an experiential standpoint it's still probably my favorite concert show of hers in its totality (and I've been to all of her solo tours). A combo of the production, the scale, and my love for Rennie (possibly my fave album of hers now) makes it such. That said, that "Beyonce Opening for Beyonce" thing just did not work in the way they thought it did. There were so many creative avenues that were not explored (from a proper video introduction maybe tongue in cheek "this rising star all the way from Houston Texas" to pre-tour announcing that she would be the sole "opening act" thus intriguing people and also ensuring they were there on time). It really could have been a...thing-thing. Instead, they were somewhat mute about it, so to the majority, it was just a case of the RWT starting with ballads. She's lucky a) she gave a vocal masterclass and b) is "Beyonce" so people were just glad to see and hear...her. It thematically made ZERO sense in the context of the show. IMO, I can't shake my belief that it was a last-minute pivot because of her leg surgery and - because she's human - a way for her to ease into the show and being back on stage after such a long hiatus. Choreo etc may have been a challenge at that time, but she always knew/knows that she can rely on her voice. So, in that regard, it was "the" way to go. Because, creatively, it didn't make sense at all. My issue with Cuff It, BMS, and Virgo is that they were some of the album's most uptempo/groove-led moments and yet were paired with the most down-tempo performances. Her energy and charisma compensated a lot for that and I suspect (again) that the show had to be reconfigured from maybe what was intentionally conceived because of her injury, but not dancing to the Dance music you put out is a... choice. I will say, though, that by that American leg, she was on fire during Cuff It and added more and more moves to it. So, it watched like one big party. I made peace with BMS way earlier, because it too succeeded in working like one big party train. Virgo...she was not serious for that. As for the glasses, they are almost all a chop. It's so funny to watch our fave skew slightly Aunty at times. Because the glasses are so not it and tend to throw off whatever outfit she's wearing, and yet she persists. 2 1

It's so funny to watch our fave skew slightly Aunty at times. Because the glasses are so not it and tend to throw off whatever outfit she's wearing, and yet she persists. I completely agree. The only way we even realised as super fans that she was 'opening for herself' is because they wrote it on some merch. Also, the song choices were abysmal. It would have been more interesting if she did a surprise song each show, or just switched it up more regularly, which would have been surely simple to carry off. Instead she played deep cuts. DiL is chill because it was her debut ballad. But Flaws and All?? Really? This woman has so many classic slow jams. Irreplacable. IIWAB. Halo. All Night. Me Myself and I. I could go on. Stadium tours are funny because there's too many seats. No matter how big you are, there'll be majority casual fans in the house. You have to cater to those casual fans with your setlist or they'll feel lost and confused. And that section had the chance to throw a bunch of classic Bey tracks at the audience to bring them onto the Rennie train. But she didn't do that! 1
