the show has a lot more lipping than ren, which actually had more live than most of her full length shows. i'm not mad at it, protect your voice queen

Basically this. 

I don't think Beyonce is lip singing as often as yall do.  She is just THAT good. She should sound the same, she is hitting the same notes, duh.

The most obvious time she was lipping was during the car malfunction. You could tell she was itching to tell them to stop before she did but had to wait for a break in the song. 
 

But, I don't care if she lips certain songs. Her lipping during parts of her shows is the reason she's still able to sing the way she does at her age. We still get a good amount of live singing and her voice is always in pristine condition. 

She started singing faster though.

the thing with bey lipping certain parts of the show is that most people do not notice it, and even amongst ourselves we cannot decide what parts exactly are lipped. that's because she's a pro. she'd wash any drag queen when it comes to lip syncing, lol.

 

then again, most people thought the Eras Tour was 100% live  people are naive and don't have the ear to detect this stuff, especially when they're so enamored by the spectacle of shows like Bey, Taylor, Gaga etc.

The last part of Flamenco is 100% lipped

If she is "lip syncing", which songs is she lipping?

first verse of cozy, the texas hold em riff, the last verse of flamenco, parts of requiem, parts of bodyguard.

 

she doesn't always lip an entire song, its usually the most vocally taxing parts. and she always does a pre-record so its never a studio vocal.

Legion tweeting about the dancers having black hair makes me think it's entirely possible act iii is coming 8.29

not too sure about that, most of them could just be wearing wigs 

What if:

 

2026: Act3

2027: Visuals

2028: Final Medley at the Grammys, Performance at the Olympics, Tour

these seem accurate. she also sings along with pre-recorded tracks, sometimes. Tyrant for example. that way she can easily slip in and out of singing live.

Yes and it makes me so sad :( but I understand her reasoning 

Three pages talking about MFing lip singing??? 
 

Oh Beyoncé, please get a tampon and smear the number "3" in blood on stage so the Hive can be distracted and talk about that because we cannot be THIS bored.

The amount of vocal flips and her constantly switching from head to chest, then back to head is so f*cking difficult. Even Mariah, who was also a master at that couldn't keep up with that she had to do it every date. So I'm so happy she lips it every now and then. It's an incredibly difficult song to sing.

 

I'm glad she might lip it here and there. It's a beautiful song and I'd rather her execute it perfectly with some help tbh, than feel she has to do it live every time and accidentally mess it up.

The way I'm so scared of that too. The thought of album rankings are already traumatizing me. 
 

But ngl, I lowkey feel like we are getting Act III verryyy soon. I feel like she's gonna drop a teaser after the last date. Idk why, it's just a feeling but like a stronggg one. 

if she doesn't drop a teaser i'm at least hoping for some obvious hints towards act iii for the last shows

The obvious hints will be "Good Bye Cowboy Carter, see you soon." Or "Act2, the End."

 

now that we're in the pergatory that is the wait for act iii....wanted to bring this back out:

 

 

some of these are absolutely going to be act iii tracks.

 

 

"BLACK FOLK" is written twice. that one is definitely gonna be on it

Edited July 24, 20251 yr by yonsé

I feel like Black Betty (or vice versa) is going to be the lead single for act iii 

As Beyoncé gets older the way she works will change. I think her objective is longevity. And as such, I don't think we will get a heavy dancing tour, like FWT, again.

 

She tried to tell us in the RWT movie. She included the clip of her saying she had "transitioned into a new animal". I think that was her being forced by her injury to develop a different type of performance for Dubai, and then for RWT. 
 

I think she was probably nervous about whether she would still be able to get an audience going without going all out with choreography. And it was one of the best received tours of her career. I mean you could literally see her grow in confidence as the shows went on. 
 

I think the same applies to her singing. She's conscious that three, three hour long tours in six years is incredibly demanding on voice. Most of her peers started to see prominent declines in the voice in their 40s. I think it's right that she preserves her voice. And 99% people will never know. I personally will never enjoy those performances, really, but it's worth it if she's able to continue with her artistry for the next 20 years. 

She sings better live than mostly everyone so I don't mind her pre recorded vocals. The GP doesn't even realize it lol. 
 

I'm not sure if I buy these Act III rumors though. I'd just assume she'd drop a CC movie/doc through streaming and then start fresh with Act III next year.

Black Betty and Never Knows Best both being underlined thrice… definitely says something. What if rather than track titles 'Black Betty Never Knows Best' is kind of the logline/tagline of the project?

I don't wanna set my expectations too high. At best, we'll get a tour movie / live album announcement. At worst, she'll say "get home safe, love you deep, see y'all again soon" and then it'll be months of waiting while ranking outfits and albums.

Renaissance —> TV news

Cowboy Carter —> Radio

Act III —> The newspaper? 
 

(I know the Renny era also had the newspaper bits, but I'd say it revolved more around the TV)

Three calendar years for three acts is enough. I won't be pissed if nothing happens, but I think it's time to wrap it up, and I wouldn't be surprised if she were ready to wind things down.
