She said "This three act project was recorded during the pandemic."

Sure, it's not impossible act iii could be the film, but the word recorded implies music.  No actor says "We're going to start recording the film this summer" and no director says, "While we were recording..."

I really want Act 3 to be music however I can't forget that when her website glitched before the Renaissance announcement it only mentioned B7 & B8...

I hate to be that girl lol, but 55 million views on Twitter is LOW.

 

 

That's like...not true??

 

Twitter videos tally views differently than actual tweets. For example, even Taylor's well-liked video tweets aren't close to 55M

That is very true. I just personally would like to see more concrete evidence of a third album haha. I'm only like 50% convinced of it right now. But depending what happens tomorrow could turn me into an act iii truther! 

I don't own the vinyls, but don't the backs of them make a horse? And a third of the horse is still missing, no? That would imply a third piece of music is coming. Unless the visual DVD is really big and comes in vinyl case dddd

Something like this would be so camp and DEMOLISH me, I wish I had the resources Bey has, so much could be done with her power.

Yeah, there is definitely a third album coming

I don't know where you are getting your stats from but that is definitely not low. Those numbers are only being pulled by two musician and they are very active on X unlike beyonce

similar to lemonade trailer, we got a release date but no one knew exactly what lemonade was going to be. she could be doing the same thing here by giving us a date but not revealing the details. if she were putting out visuals and wanted us to be genuinely surprised, this is the way to do it 

 

 

ok got it. basically what i said in my hidden tag above. But I will note she had given us formation and a longer wait period AND we knew it was on HBO

She did blackout the netflix logo in the corner with a black square tho 

 

the flag exposed the black square hiding it

Your statement was that the views are low, which is categorically false

I'm pretty sure what everyone thinks is a blacked out logo is actually just the lighting system?

Rih has 10x the followers as Bey, since Bey's account has never been used for more than promo.

If she made us wait three weeks for a residency 99% of her fans won't be able to attend…  

 

I'm thinking either act iii announcement or single + magazine cover/interview. Levi's ad with the single (original pool shark ad had a song from The Clash - rock) + Trilogy Tour announcement coming at the end of the month.

Tbf people like silly content especially from celebs. This is the "relatable" generation. 

What's the use in blacking out the Netflix logo with a square like she's someone who only has access to Microsoft Paint when she simply could have asked for a teaser without the logo?  That doesn't make sense.

True. 

 

Ultimately, I think (for all the meltdowns fans have had), Team Bey has actually done a good job of keeping things vague enough to give themselves room to maneuver

 

Logically, it's definitely giving three albums. But if, for example, she changed her mind and it's 2 albums +1 joint visual that comprises the "three acts", it works too. And works in a way when no one can ever say she "lied".

 

We'll see.

I definitely believe Bey will flip everyone's expectations again for whats in store and lean into even more of a genre-bending or genre-less release for act iii. Her chameleon serve. It kind of makes sense if you look at how the trilogy has been rolling out. Act i being mostly very cohesive and a straightforward seamless set of contemporary house, pop, r&b etc. Act ii building on this and spanning a multitude of sounds and styles, breaking down (and rejecting) the concept of genres entirely and dedicating multiple interludes to this concept as well, act iii would be the coup de grâce and serve as yet another playground for whatever sounds she wants to dip into next. I'm not saying rock is off the cards entirely, but I also don't think it's going to be a sole rock inspired record that many are theorizing it will be. 

act i - experiencing music in the club

act ii - listening to it on the radio

act iii - listening to and watching music on tv? 

 

the fact that Liveation is involved kinda makes it highly unlikely for this to not be either a tour/residency/some form of live performance or a documentary 

My final prediction we getting cowboys Carter visuals tomorrow and announcement for act iii release date and a lead sometime after. 

I think we're going to get three, 3, III things...
