Cbreezy Posted August 29 Posted August 29 (edited) Never thought I would skew negative nancy, but this nothingness of CC "era" is so...ewww lol. I'm not nor have I been holistically "doom and gloom" about ish because Bey still tick-boxes the things "I" want/need as Chart Hive. Even with CC. Like, #1 album, big opening week sales, chart-topping and top 10 singles etc. Plus, it was actually a fantastic body of work. But, as a bit of a branding/marketing geek, I'm particularly annoyed because it now makes so much of the CC launch and "era" feel like a bit of a waste. She will spin it as having birthed a Black Country renaissance (with Shaboozey, Tanner etc), but it doesn't feel like "she" has benefitted much beyond it being a (at least for now) "a quick lil successful Pop girl transformation before moving onto the next thing". Almost certain the album is now languishing nearer the bottom of the charts with low/no streams (and definitely not where Rennie was in its lifecycle at this time comparably). None of the songs lasted the distance either. So, all of the things we are clamoring for e.g. a tour, visuals etc are likely to have next to no effect on reviving the album commercially or culturally. Again, a waste. At this point, I don't even think it's worth wasting those pillars on an album cycle that has all but wrapped. Use it for Act III. The slight upside is that Act III will almost certainly arrive alongside the visuals (for everything), thus will benefit most from that as a promotional vehicle. Maybe it will stick more as a result. And who knows, maybe she will again play the game with the features to ensure high charting singles and a certain amount of easy streams. All that said, it's just annoying because the three-act thing had/has so much potential. Instead, it's a head-f**ck of highs (great material, great sales, great tour) and lows (almost zero push). The irony being, and this has happened with Bey multiple times, she will pioneer a concept only for her lesser talented peers to perfect it and reap better rewards. Sometimes, it's not "what" you do, it's "how you work it". Manifesting some kind of something to make us all eat humble pie...soon. Because this ain't it. Edited August 29 by Cbreezy 2 2

Rennie was my fav tour because it felt like a celebration, but FWT was technically better. but she lips most of the show tho 1

Rennie was my fav tour because it felt like a celebration, but FWT was technically better. she messed up during "I Care" at one of my shows, one of the last ones left after her LA shows. she recovered really quickly after coughing it out and skipping the hook to get it together for the bridge. them vocal cords were TIREDT by the end of the tour. she was wearing this, btw: 1

They kinda missed out on not pre taping her doing a video for the screens. she prob wouldn't though. 58 minutes ago, Lose My Breath said: To be honest, if she really wanted it, she could release the visuals for CC during the campaign period, with a big rollout, and it would be her best shot she's had That's what I thought for REN. I don't think she is winning anything this round. Country ain't giving her anything. Kinda crazy how she is ruining each era by her own doing. I still think people are afraid to tell her some truths. REN could've been bigger and CC could've had a cute era. I don't see the point in releasing a movie years after the album release and the tour being over. 1
Fleahive Posted August 30 Posted August 30 If #she released Drunk In Love Dubai version the same day it went viral how many streams do you think it'd have by now? Would it have surpassed Cuffhit?

Joaco95 Posted August 30 Posted August 30 (edited) found this random story searching for things about her tour Quote Aromatech for Beyoncé 14 March 2016 UK - Beyoncé's recent USA tour included the innovative idea of 'aroma-ising' audience areas by use of 'Aromatech' systems from the UK's Effects Company. Specified by Justin Collie of Los Angeles / New York based design team Artfag, the idea was to fill the arena along the 'parade route' with a noticeable essence to indicate the artist's arrival. The Effects Company's Martin Blake explains: "Artfag designed the system with multiple machines hanging from the trussing, with Ducting Adaptors attached to direct the airflow downwards, coupled with numerous machines at floor-level. The complete system was DMX-controlled from the main desk via Aromatech DMX Modules." Blake added: "The Effects Company originally supplied a selection of essences and the final essence chosen by Beyoncé was 'Musk' - as it was not specifically male or female." (Lee Baldock) Aromatech for Beyoncé (lsionline.com) this is really random but i guess she likes all the new tech stuff Edited August 30 by Joaco95

They'll submit it to country in the same way Renaissance was submitted to Dance/Electronic. The difference is that this year most voters will either vote for Wallen or Shaboozy. She'll be shut out completely and she won't even have a best music film grammy to compete for (unless she submits Renaissance? But idek if that's even eligible if it's only been shown in cinemas) edit: Renaissance is eligible but it'll undoubtedly still go to the Eras tour film (even if its a lesser release). Bey's only hope now is Texas winning SOTY. Edited August 30 by alien superstore
