Where's Tyrant, tyrant?

It has not been confirmed that it will be 9 minutes!

 

Ya'll like to suffer in advance.

 

Me too!

Theres no World where she doesnt start with American Requiem. Its literally perfect as an opener - from the lyrics to the vocal display to the dramatics of the song.

It's Christmas. Nobody is trying to hear all that.

Opener: Ya Ya

Texas

Bodygaurd

Sweet Honey Buckin ft. Shaboozey

Closer: 16 Carriages

 

I can imagine edits of the songs that give the best parts and make for a high octane show.  I think she will add arrangements to 16 Carriages to make it a Halo moment like when she closed the Super Bowl. I think it's possible we will hear words from Spaghetti from Linda Martell, but I don't think she will perform it. I do think it's possible she uses the opening arrangements from American Requiem to open or close the show, or uses it as a transition.

This is correct, but only Sweet is performed. Sticky is too inappropriate and Buckin is too lyrically dumb to perform live on tv. She will sing A Bar Song (Tipsy) with Shaboozey while he's still on stage. She would actually sound amazing on that song and that's a good time to promote Sir Davis.
 

While she's singing she's holding up a bottle of Sir Davis in her hand alongside the dancers. And then at the end of the performance, we get a commercial for the brand. This woman is not going on tour right now. But she will promote something at the end and it will be Sir Davis. 
 

Whew I just unlocked the code. Screenshot this for twitter.

After the CC physicals fiasco I wouldnt be surprised if they were just being a mess

Her team is always a mess and very unprofessional in my opinion. It's weird because it seems like everything she does is extremely planned out, which may be true, but things don't go into action until the very last minute. Songwriters being told they have 24 hours to fly in to write for a mysterious artist. Collaborators having 24 hours to learn choreo for the music video. Today I found out that when Doechii opened for Renaissance tour in LA she and her DJ didn't find out until the day before.

Honestly in general Parkwood has gone downhill it seems. They're no longer hungry or the ambition seems gone. I guess it could be the direction from the top but it's also not fair to other artists signed. But then again I'm sure the staff gets their salary paid no matter what so why bother putting in an effort if you get paid the same with no album cycle. She should have sharpened the tools to better execute this trilogy. 

I forget Parkwood has actual employees that have to make a decent salary assuming they work in LA. I can't imagine they make much profit. 

Hoping she uses those 9 minutes to perform Tyrant twice

And I understand her motif: She wants to keep up with Jay in terms of hustling or gets inspired by him, but truth being is that as a fan from day one, none of use care about her whiskey nor her haircare nor her athleisure. Sure, they are cute and good for ur pocket, but if it means getting sloppy with ur music because ur perfectionist and controlling ass cant handle it all plus being a mom of three, then sorry not sorry: You deserve the lashings left and right.

Cecred is thriving now (I think). I was on TikTok and some girl was saying Miele made her go bald. All the top comments with 15k+ likes told her to go to Cecred. Ivy Park was a fun era I was too broke back then to really enjoy it but the one pair of shoes I did snatch up in the second to last drop gets me the most compliments to this day. I really enjoy her side hustles.

What does base think of Crazy In Love slowed version for 50 Shades of Grey? She originated re-recording your signature hit! I always forget the song exists. It should have blown up imo. That movie soundtrack made The Weeknd mainstream and solidified Ellie Goulding as more than a 2 hit wonder.

Don't shoot me and I'm not on some "toxic positivity"ish lol, but I feel the book delay could be to do with the visuals. 

 

I HIGHLY doubt Bey posed for a 100+ page book "just because". Fairly certain the images within that they claim are "inspired" by CC are actually from the CC visuals. 

 

Conjecture but maybe this is them realizing that it makes no sense to come in before the beat (the premiere). Or something shifting with the premiere and thus the delay for the book. 

 

  Hide contents

Or just general good ol' messiness lol

 

The REN and CC vinyls have massive booklets with photos from the visuals. Why would this be any different than that?

 

I think the book simply isn't ready. We know for a fact she likes to work down to the last minute. Blondie's book was rushed out and filled with printing errors which led to angry fans making TikToks calling it "the errors book". We know they both watch each other's moves and pivot based on what doesn't work, so I wouldn't be surprised if B wanted to go over the book with a fine tooth comb and that ended up delaying printing for a month.

 

to me it just gives poor planning and sloppy salesmanship similar to the beyince vinyl conundrum. Don't set a shipping date if you aren't sure it's going to be ready by that date. Same with her setting her release date as 3.29 then shooting a whole different cover and adding a bunch of songs which messed up the physicals and angered fans.

She needs to clean house at parkwood to be honest.

 

She used to switch out her creative team every few eras or so, with Todd Tourso creative directing self titled and Kwasi Fourdjour creative directing Lemonade & The Gift. Andrew took over as CD (he was previously her art director) for the trilogy and I think it's her weakest roll out to date.

 

no shade to Andrew or her current team, but he is obviously preoccupied with his own profile and career and I feel that her team is not running the tight ship we're used to. That could be Beyoncé taking a more lax approach to this phase of her career, but I truly find it interesting.

I think the problem is her and her kink for surprises and keeping all possible rumors and info from leaking, which ultimately leads to all these last-minute-decisions.

You can have the best team, but even they would fail to make things happen if the plan was changed 24hours ago.

When she Desert Eagled the setlist to perform the maximum amount of songs

 

 

Why is the search bar on every Beyoncé TikTok video "beyonce stimming" 

Does anyone think Beyoncé is a fair contender for queen of R&B? I think Mary and Mariah are considered the queens but Beyonce has so many crazy R&b deep cuts.

That's shameful.  Parkwood is shady sometimes... this has happened too much to be coincidence.  They wanted people to rush and buy it for Christmas, and they probably knew the whole time they couldn't get it out by then. 

Normally I would agree, but this seems more... unplanned. Usually Parkwood tricks people with the "all sales are final" bullshit and has terrible customer service. Them giving folks 10 days to cancel their orders is somewhat "generous" for them.

 

I wouldn't get my hopes up for anything going down in February... but if we recall, Feb. 1, 2023 is when she announced:
 

Spoiler

 

I think the Stevie Wonder tribute is our best guide for what to expect. Including in terms of how she brings out guests. Just my current thoughts tho. 

 

Also I agree that maybe American Requiem won't get a full performance - but the intro and outro are possible. Ya Ya just cannot be left out

Beyonce is THE Queen. Period. No need for limiting her to one genre.

I'll give you the whisky and Ivy Park even though I still supported those ventures and they were quality. But Cecred is the truth and I will stand on that hill until I am blue in the face. That is by far her best business endeavor that to me makes so much sense for her. Hair is such a huge part of her iconography and aesthetic plus when you tie in Ms. Tina's prior  cosmetology experience, I'm sold. Literally changed my hair for the better. As long as she makes it I'll keep buying.

 

Of course music is always my number one but I can only take what she gives at this point. Which isn't a lot. And if she is going to have side hustles I'm happy that at least it works and is quality.

Ok I get ur point and I do agree that Cecred is her best product yet. I still stand by my point that I fail to be enthusiastic about her side hustles when the core of Beyonce aka the music suffers because of it (or in this case the distribution of the music)
