i found out through a friend of a friend that shes planning a one month residency at the crypto arena so my theory for now is that shes doing mini residencies in the US

I like that plan (and fingers crossed she finally secures The Sphere for a truly unique experience), but I hope this becomes a more global thing than just North America (incl. Mexico) + Europe.

She should add residencies in Japan, S. Korea, The Philippines, Brazil, Columbia, Nigeria or Ghana, South Africa, and Australia / New Zealand.

I said it once and I'll say it again, the people who place B'day over 4 ALWAYS have the worst opinions in here... 

So if you find yourself agreeing, get your ears checked, you may have hearing loss from B'days poor mixing

Lol. 4 and its elevator music and marching band music was cute but it's not a B'Day. Is anyone honestly going to say they use Best Thing I Never Had, I Was Here, Start Over, Run the World? 4 was majorly enhanced by its deluxe. B'Day didn't even need a deluxe to be it

Renaissance

Self-Titled

B'Day

4/Lemonade

I Am Sasha Fierce

Dangerously In Love

CowARSON CartFIRESTARTER

 

 

B'Day is literally a greatest hits album and 4, well... there's a reason she took her whole career back to the drawing board after thaT. Schizoid ass album when you think about it

I use start over and BTINH, both are definitely better than flawed and drawl, ring the alarm, and resentment.

Countdown alone clears all of B'day

Kitty Cat wants to have a word with you.

If Beyonce put out Freakum Dress today, she probably would've named it F*ck him Dress lol. 
 

It's crazy how things change. I remember people were mad she smoked a cigarette on the B'day cover and bent down touching Jay's belt buckle. They really thought she was not a woman who could have fun. Her personality was shining through in B'Day from cussing in Irreplaceable to subtly  talking about  sex on Suga Mama, Get me Bodied, Freakum Dress, comparing herself to MLK then telling him he can go, he has the green light, telling him his sex ain't all that on Kitty Kat, then Resentment. The album was full of shade. Creole, Back Up, Lost yo Mind wouldve definitely made the album if Mathew was not there. 
 

Then, there's the beauty and vulnerability  of songs like Flaws and All, Listen.

Right because why is Cowboy Carter so high? No way y'all actually like that album.

They're often interchangeable tbh. But yes 4 definitely sounds more timeless.

Nah, CC is an amazing album

I'm going to be brave and #ShareMyTruth. 

Spoiler

Cowboy Carter is her best album. 

If you get it, you get it. 

I have the time today

Sure, those songs sans RTW are elevator music but the album comes along with Countdown (!!!) , Schooling Life(!!!), 1+1 (!!!) End Of Time, Love On Top and I Miss You. The highs are so high. 

 

B'Day standard also has Resentment which is not great tbh. But its true that it's standard edition is more balanced and has really no filler (although personally I don't enjoy Resent and RTA) but the highs except Kitty Kat do not reach Countdown's marvelousness. 

It balances. During B'Day, she was really in her Prince's bag. She could have cut a bigger check for mixing though, that's a fact. 

Edited January 15, 20251 yr by BnPac

CC is top 3 in her discography despite II Least Wanted on it. Just For Fun and the last 10 tracks make up for it though. 

Tbh my ranking didn't change much with CC : 

Lemonade 

RENAISSANCE 

ST

4/B'Day

CC 

DIL 

IASF. 

 

By the way why are we ranking? Did we give up? 

 

 

Not the No Angel slander

 

 

 

How could you listen to American Requiem, 16 Carriages, Bodyguard, Daughter, Alligator Tears, Just For Fun, Ya Ya, Riverdance, Flamenco, SHB and think they're bad though?

 

 

Oops, and Tyrant

 

 

**** spaghetti though

No Angel is a career highlight btw

 

Jealous doesn't get enough love though

This song is not in the standard edition. It doesn't count.
