I think she's intentionally not making a big deal about her longevity. She's one of the first pop stars to last this long on top in a post-Madonna world, so she's navigating it carefully. Aging isn't as big of a deal anymore in the industry, but it seems like she's treading lightly and choosing to focus on the present. Just look at the way other pop stars acknowledge the anniversary of every album, every year. Bey did that with ST's ten years, Lemonade's 5 years, and DIL's 10 years. That's it. 5

She's definitely not making a big deal about her longevity. But it's still baffling to me that she is not embracing the current vinyl craze. Looking at Renaissance and CC's debut weeks a sizable crowd is still here for collecting physicals from her, so why not benefit from it? 4
Calypso Posted November 4, 2024 Posted November 4, 2024 Levii is a HIT. Anyone saying otherwise is being silly and basing it off purely the idea of a post Malone collab. Tho Tyrant is the smash that got away. Beyonce you will PAY 6

The amount of vinyl variants available for other artists are disgusting, just totally wasteful
Burn Posted November 4, 2024 Posted November 4, 2024 (edited) Somebody make one of them Democrat/Republican threads for Bey. Edit: I made it: Edited November 4, 2024 by Burn
Embustera Posted November 4, 2024 Posted November 4, 2024 "I hope that god knows that i'm need in help right now" this line makes me so emotional 6 1

Draper. Posted November 4, 2024 Posted November 4, 2024 She wrote about Quincy Jones on her website. (This doesn't count, but it's RARE having her posting things 4 days in a row ) Does anyone remember is she wrote something about Betty Davis back in 2022?
Dysmorphia Posted November 4, 2024 Posted November 4, 2024 I don't know if anyone saw but this medley was on Strictly come dancing last night (UK DWTS). 5

Kristie Kuwa Posted November 4, 2024 Posted November 4, 2024 Speaking of Beyonce Universe: The winner of Dragrace Philippines Season 3 seems to be a huge Bey Fan and has channeled the iconic "Everybody Mad" choreo in one of her lipsyncs in the show: Starts at 0:33 in the video on the left. She ATE that choreo. So much for "Bey has no impact in Asia"
Erotica Posted November 4, 2024 Posted November 4, 2024 6 hours ago, Kristie Kuwa said: Also we dont talk enough how this ***** is able to serve performances where she not only elevates her own songs, but where literally every single shot is flawfree. Like, the execution is just marvellous. Not one faulty note, not one look that looks bad, everything graceful, beautiful, gorgeous. Oh Bey, despite ur best efforts to make my blood boil, I could never not stan you She knew she was not going to be performing for free after this event so she made this performance out of this world. I don't actually rate the studio version of Be Alive, I find it boring and uneventful but this performance is sooo beautiful! this is why I stan this woman. She can make any song sound amazing live. 3
Burn Posted November 4, 2024 Posted November 4, 2024 Is anyone else finding that CC is hitting differently as we the colder weather settles in? It's perfect for this season. 5

I guarantee it would go straight to a Top5 position. The lyrics are just too perfect Im already tearing up just imagining that. Imagine Bey performing Texas Hold 'Em if Kamala wins and ends up winning over Texas and turning it BLUE. Texas Hold 'Em would go STRAIGHT to number 1!!!
TizTiz Posted November 5, 2024 Posted November 5, 2024 12 hours ago, Lose My Breath said: This is exactly what it is. The album is arguably one of her best works (along with Renaissance), but the problem is, her alienating her fans by the lack of effort to appease them while pushing products, and money grabs has caused some turmoil, and it's starting to reflect in attitudes and opinions of her music Yes, but this is only part of the problem with ppl's perception of the album. Which is kind of understandable, yet unfortunate, but she's not the only artist who's fell into this fanfare slump- and, obviously, doesn't give a damn. I have yet to understand why there's a lack of understanding, only on this forum I've seen, where ppl can give detailed or rushed reason as to why "COWBOY CARTER", specifically, is not their cup of tea and it has to be acknowledged that their wrong. I've seen answers about the production value, compared to "RENAISSANCE", and that's one thing that I agree with. I've seen ppl state that they just do not like Country music or her version of Country, the track listing is off, it feels unauthentic in some areas, or everyone's favorite, it's simply too long for no reason. For me personally, I'd rank the album below "RENAISSANCE" and "LEMONADE", almost lower than "BEYONCÉ", because I don't personally feel as though the theme was flushed out completely, it's too obvious where things were drafted at the last minute sound wise and songs feeling completely out of place. Sonically, this is where a lot of the album suffers. There's too many ideas that don't come together, which was demonstrated PERFECTLY on RENI and LEM, and LEM managed to do better with multiple genres and distinctive sounds. It also doesn't help to make a concept piece dependent of a visual component to be fully realized, but don't include the visual component. Some songs need visuals to have a full circle moment in the story telling, I didn't feel this way with RENI. Though RENI blends every 2-3 songs into its own chapter of the story, each song makes sense as a standalone, which is ironic since a lot of songs on CC are great in the illustration and message. This just goes back to the full idea not being realized in the end. I don't this is her best album, by any means. Had it been a project not tied to the missing visuals or the uneventful trilogy, where she better explained her intentions and artistry for ppl to better understand the point, it could've been a on par to being her best album. I just don't feel as though this album was fully thought out before the release date was official. Miles ahead of everyone who's jumped on the country bandwagon, her contemporaries outings or those of which feel she didn't deserve a spot in Country just not the best in this household. Please don't offended or feel as if I'm jumping on just your comment, because these are not my intentions. I just agreed with part of your statement, but also, see it from another angle because of my own opinion of the album vs her actions after the release. 2
