i don't think that type of high intensity FWT choreo is ever coming back, not even for a few songs. i do think she'll dance and move more than at RWT's first date (which was, let's be real, tough to watch for her standards :deadbanana4:

 

i think the way she danced at the last RWT shows is the most choreo she'll give from here on out 

Wow. Yeah this is fair I know her movement director mentioned that it was more of an overall shift. I mean even with OTRII in 2018 there were a few shifts toward calmer/reduced choreo. I'm hoping for just a bit more than the end of RWT because while she was obviously more energized it was still the originally reduced movements—nothing really new besides her doing the Energy choreo for a few dates. When I tell you I gasped when she bent her knees during Kendrick's surprise... :ahh: 

 

I need one more performance from her where she really gives it everything.

This is the first live performance she's done in 7 years, i'm sure she'll want to go all out.

 

but maybe its just all out with vocals this time because I don't see what would need heavy choreo on CC 

 

I think she'll go all out on choreo again but not on tour

RWT did "ok" but wasn't just this huge box office smash. That said, she for sure turned a profit, so my thinking is that she will once again go the theater route at some point for something. So, if it's embedded in the Hive's mind that "this may be the *ONLY* way to ever see this movie ever", they are more inclined to flood the theaters to see it rather than wait for it to come to streaming as I'm sure was the case when the RWT film dropped. Even if she does eventually put it on streaming, the same logic/message holds: "you better get it while you can".

 

 

It's annoying but smart.

This is so true and so annoying

Do y'all think this will be a continuation of RWT's pulled back choreo or do you think we'll see her return to at least 90% capacity (for a few songs) now that she's healed and its been a year since RWT ended? 

No.

 

Fatima said that their focus is conservation, because it's so hard on the body and she had that injury. Greats like Michael and Prince relied on painkillers so they could perform and then they became addicts as a result. They're trying to keep her performing for as long as she wants to.

 

so the most we'll get is RWT style choreography. we might get a fun moment like the energy dance break but don't expect beychella diva breakdown levels of dancing.

 

i think the hardest she'll go is for ya ya and she'll likely be at a mic with a stand so she's not gonna be all over the stage.

Very interesting that post malone, shaboozey, lost all their cma nominations.  Chris stapleton, kacey musgraves and lainey wilson all lost AOTY. Very interesting. I truly believe bey will have bigger sweep at the grammys than we think

Whats crazy to me we havent heard one rumour that she has been rehearsing or been seen rehearsing right ?! I would like to know when rehearsals started as its only one month away

If Beyoncé really does what she's capable of, this Xmas Halftime performance will be looked as the first of its kind, like MJ SBHT '93

 

Like we really have NO IDEA what's in store :jonny5:

Thinking about the timeline where Renaissance would have been released as act 2 and this halftime show would be a showcase of songs from Renny. 
 

allowing myself 30 min for fantasy and disgruntlement before I reignite some excitement behind Cowboy Carter showing what she can bring to the live stage

CC songs are more made for live performances. I think we will get full dramatics from B even if its not full sasha choreo. Also, with the songs, only Ya Ya will demand something really high energy, that too in certain parts and I am sure she will deliver! 

 

I want a live band and B with a mic is also enough because in that category alone she is unmatched and it is time the world wakes up to it.

I think we are in for a Stevie Tribute kinda performance with more dramatics and visual statements.

like :deadbanana4: i still don't believe she'll be actually inside the stadium singing and dancing, it genuinely feels unbelievable 

Same!
 

The way something in my gut can't shake the possibility of it being a pre-taped Be Alive situation or a hybrid of pre-taped with a little portion in person. 

 

Pretty much everyone I've discussed it with offline believes it will be a conventional Halftime and doesn't get my uncertainty.

 

But for me, a combo of her literally not performing on TV for so long and the only time she does so it's

prerecorded makes the idea of her going back to traditional live performing surprising (like you said).

 

Plus, there is literally no precedent set for this Halftime. She's the inaugural performer, so in theory she could go as conventional as a traditional Halftime, a little left and creative with a condensed Homecoming, or something totally different (and pre-taped) that rips up the rulebook in its entirety. 
 

Plus, I wonder what the NFL's angle is with this. The Super Bowl is still its tentpole event. Is airing a Halftime that rivals or exceeds the Super Bowl Halftime in scale and spectacle a good look? Does it take away from that? Or does the NFL not give an f because they want this new Xmas Day concept to become a "thing"?

 

I'd personally love a conventional all-out Halftime in the vein of 2013. Or Homecoming. But I'm equally bracing for a: Beyonce rides home for Halftime and makes a number of (pre-taped lol) stops at iconic Houston landmarks on the way. With maybe the stadium getting climatic horse and carriage entrance and finale performance of Texas as the in-person portion.

 

We'll see very soon, I'm just struggling to shake the feeling I have that she'll sooner prioritize perfection and presentation these days than subject herself to the elements of a totally

live setup.

Twin! 
 

Stanning Bey can be so delightfully grating lol.

 

Because there's the initial excitement that comes with her out of the sky surprises but then my mind starts working overtime about all the other aspects. I'm such a geek for the behind the scenes ish lol. 

 

Like you said, there's been not a word about her rehearsing. Even if folk got it wrong and assumed it was for a tour. There's been nothing.

 

And given that it's a month away, she's absolutely deep in rehearsals already,

 

Meaning…there's a creative director, there are commissioned dancers (probably a lot), costumes, staging etc.

 

It's mind-blowing that they've managed to keep such a lid on this. A true testament to professionalism, respect for Bey's operation, a strongly worded NDA lol.

I think you're right.

 

Like you, I try to pay attention to ish that may fly over heads. As it helps manage expectations. 
 

Fatima was pretty emphatic about Bey pulling back so as to not be in that MJ/Prince predicament. 
 

The only caveat that has me hoping/thinking she'll do a little more than RWT is that this is just a 10-15 min performance. It's actually the exact type of gig to go as all-out as a "2024 Beyonce" is willing to go because it's a relatively short one-off showing. 
 

Now, I see her future **tours** being on the energy wavelength of the latter RWT shows (which is fine). As the grind and rigors of the road are where Fatima's remarks hold the most weight / validity. 
 

With this, though, I wanna see enough choreo to satisfy me (which needs to be more than RWT) and also enough to bamboozle the masses into thinking she's doing more than she actually is. 

 

The beauty of Bey's performance style is that the latter is easy achievable with struts, weave whips, and isms. Basically the Sasha Starter Pack lol. 
 

CC doesn't call for much choreo (apart from like a Yaya), but I'm not not the type of Bey fan to delude myself into forgetting what her central appeal is as a performer to the GP: dancing her ass off. No one wants to see her stand still with a mic or have the spectacle happen around her like a Britney.
 

We also have to remember that CC isn't as known to the masses. So high energy / choreographed performances are a smart way to really "sell" it and sell it hard.

I see what you mean and ish like that the Stevie Grammy tribute will work as a base format. 

 

But she HAS to make a point of falling in and out of choreo throughout. She has to

 

I'm not at that level of stanning where I'm to clap for her just because. 

 

There is a certain expectation of what a Bey performance ought to give (that she established), so she kinda has to find a way to deliver on that. 
 

I love that she's a versatile queen and is one of the greatest vocalists of all

time. So, will always have that in her arsenal. 
 

IMO, if she was attempting light choreo in Dubai in a kitten heel, she is for sure dancing this time lol.

I think it's possible we get something pre-taped (first part of the perfomance, while they're setting up the stage) and then the rest will be live. It's a way to extend her performance since they probably won't have much time.. but most of it has to be live. Even Mama Tina posted about the demand increasing for tickets and said "see you there". It would be a bad look if she didn't even perform live there

I mean lainey wilson who won best country album in 2023 cmas also won the grammys....a lot of times the winners do correlate. Its possible the reason beyonce got so many country grammy noms is because there are more grammy voters than cma voters who probably also voted.
