She's a fundamentally well-behaved, nice Southern girl so that's the kind of thing she thinks is edgy.

FWT was Beyoncé at her best as an all around entertainer. But the set list was ALL OVER THE PLACE. And the fact we didn't get PYCM which is hands down the best song off Lemonade irritated me.

 

RWT supported one of the greatest albums of all time. And she performed that album for us. Her vocals >>> FWT. The interludes >>> FWT. Her looks >>> FWT. And she just looked happier and it translated to the joy the audience felt.

If I remember correctly a while ago she picked up the habit of enjoying cigars after Jay put her on.   I have to agree with this because it doesn't align with the brand. But it does work for her visuals.

Right, and it probably was edgy 1-2 decades ago, but now it just looks gross

Smoking where? In the REN visuals we have yet to see? Or the tour interludes? 

[Iyanla, Fix Me]

For proper tours I'd say MCSWT. But my personal all time favorite is EOT at REVEL. 

 

 

It just felt so majestic. And she revamped the choreo from the 2011 promo run. I loved it.

I think for REN album photoshoot she is holding a cigar in one pic of her red inflatable "ON AIR" look (or it might be a pen she's bitting I could be wrong). But for the limited cover art/photoshoot for CC (or rather act ii BEYINCÉ) she's also holding a cigar

 

edit: I was wrong about the first pic lol

The vocals were on adderall, the editing is giving Michael Jackson Tour Realness, the Thierry Mugler bodysuit is everything!!!! This opening is just so powerful and the way she performs 'Crazy In Love' is just euphoric. I felt as though she was having fun the entire time.

I remember the rehearsal pics where shes doing PYCM like in the mv  I guess she was too afraid to do it

Please note that if you are not tagged it doesn't mean you can't participate. I just don't remember everyone's names 

 

I disagree.

No horn section, over-choreographied (wtf was Daddy Lessons?), voice not properly warmed up (she was off-key/flat a few times), messy setlist, unremarkable arrangement, etc.

 

RWT is eons better, but at the end of the day everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

 

OT:

The GP has spoken

I actually think its a tie between TBE and IAWT....FWT and RWT trailing very close behind them.

TEA!!! my personal fave.

 

I know @Joaco95 will agree to this being top 2 or even his Fave.

I'm shocked she does it. As a performer so dedicated to her craft. To smoke jeaporidzes her vocals/stamina longevity.

Same, I mean she seems to really push health, and smoking is not it...

[king_queen]

Y'all there's a reason why she has ppl sign NDA's at her various parties and events. She's not a square as y'all think she is.

 

I mean…we all have listened to Renaissance right? 
 

The only thing that shocks me is when she drinks while touring. Her voice stays so consistent but alcohol is so detrimental to the health of the vocal folds. It blows my mind how she's been so consistent through the years.

 

Even in albums prior, there's no way there were no substances used when creating songs like No Angel or even Kitty Kat

tbf it's just cigars and she doesn't inhale, it's not like she's huffing a pack of malboros on stage or getting caught with weed in her luggage

The ones for Cowboy Carter are a reference to Willie Nelson tho, it's part of the aesthetic. Specially the one from the cover: she does her own spin of his braids and his smoking. I don't mind it tbh.

Thank you for this! Could've easily overlooked it. The smoking and the shades really need to go  unless she's ready to take the leap and smoke weed verses cigars and cigarettes
