Love that this is rising, so deserved. Love Drought is rising too. With 6 Inch and Freedom hitting 100 million this year, that is 7 songs over 100 million, looks like Love Drought will get there next year too, so 8 songs.  I don't get how people say it's bad. It's not being carried by a single song like other albums. 
 

If All Night keeps up the streams, it will probably over take Sorry next year. It really should be her 2nd most streamed on the album. 

 

 

Tomorrow

Have fun!

 

  

Wheeeew RIVERDANCE remains one of my fav Bey songs EVER.

 

Tyrant is one of my favorites from Cowboy Carter.

 

Protector has really grown on me since the tour started. The lyrics of the verses are so beautiful, like a poem.

She should invite the Chi-Lites on your. They're still performing to this day

Quote

No artist in modern music combines vocal prowess, dance capability, and theatrical vision with such devastating effectiveness. As the clock ticked past 1:00 AM CT, it was hard to think of anyone in pop history — and that includes MJ — that could match her for vocal stamina, physical endurance, and artistic perfectionism. She's rewriting the rubric for greatness.

As the crowd finally dispersed into the Chicago night (or rather, morning), there were no complaints about weather delays, rush-hour commutes, or lost sleep. All anyone talked about was the satisfaction that comes from witnessing something extraordinary. The tornado watch that nearly derailed the evening seemed, in retrospect, like appropriate meteorological foreshadowing. Because what Beyoncé delivered wasn't just a concert — it was a force of nature, the kind that reshapes landscapes and leaves witnesses forever changed. The queen isn't just claiming her throne; she's building a legacy that will outlast us all.

!!. This is one my biggest criticism.

 

The instrumentals for this tour are rather unimaginative compared to her other tours. I am enjoying the show still, but other than Spaghetti and Yaya none of the CC performances have that "elevated" live-feel. They all sound just like the record

 

yeah seriously what's up with that ? like Daughter for example, how can its live performance be so bland and uninspired ? 

 

no dancers, the fugly dress, her serving 0 facial expressions or drama for the entire song, no musicians on stage, no backdrop and the exact same instrumental as the album version…

 

daughter should he performed with a big string orchestra, bloody imagery, visuals, a dramatic arrangement, lots of fog, ballet dancers idk something… not her just standing there looking bored in a christmas tree dress

 

when is that thing finally getting a well deserved threadban ? 

 

Chicago gross will be crazy!!! Seats are almost behind the stage 

how much yall thinking chicago shows will gross?

$5 

They're trying to give this a streaming push in the most wrong ways possible

 

YA YA getting removed from the only big playlist it was added to in less than a day. 

 

Parkwood posting an official setlist playlist on Spotify when it should've been her official page with millions of followers. 

Omg. That was amazing. 
 

Tyler Perry, Bryan Tanakas or whatever, and Shaboozey were there

It's time to shift the budget from the dancers to the band. Especially for the act iii tour

Was saying this to a friend. 

 

I really don't want to be nitpicky, because there is a lot that is great about the tour. BUT...

 

I'm someone who typically lives for Bey's live versions more than the recordings (so just know Homecoming was a dream come true). As such, the band for this tour, by comparison, has been a little flat. So many songs just sound like they pressed play on the Spotify version lol. As Hive since day 1, you can imagine that "debut through to 4 era" me is scratching my head. Because where are the extra horns, drum snares, or dramatic guitar solos (especially on Bodyguard?!) On Bey's part, where are the extra adlibs that are specific to live versions?

 

It's all very...verbatim. So much so that when I've caught some of the vids online of there actually being a band on stage that I get surprised. Because, for most songs, it easily sounds like the CD version. 

 

Because I'm a geek about Bey's backend, I did notice (through a little deep diving) that she switched out her music director in the gap between Homecoming and RWT. From what I remember, her main guy was Derek Dixie, and before that, OG Hive will remember it was Kim Burse. This new regime has been in place since RWT...and, to an extent, you can tell. 

 

It's by no means "bad" (at all), because some songs have indeed been beefed up and made richer and creamier like Jolene. They also did Beyonce Bowl, which excelled in this regard. It could all just be... better. Especially for an album that is a bit more mellow (and thus benefits from ramping it all up a bit).

 

CC singles if it was up to me... 

1. TEXAS HOLD 'EM / 16 CARRIAGES (Super Bowl)
2. II MOST WANTED (album release day)
3. BODYGUARD (early summer) 
4. LEVII'S JEANS (fall) 
5. TYRANT (early 2025) 
6. YA YA (beginning of the tour) 

she could've done some cute remixes like she did for REN singles and THE too

Maybe this could get 2H2H viral.

I'm just in awe at how good the hair has been so far. 
 

Where was this for the past year and a half miss Giselle

I can't get that one riff ("when you lose the one you wanted" part) out of my head.
