I know she won't stay that long with that hairstyle, but I love black on her.

I wonder what kind of style she will have at the show. long or short? black or blond? what do you think, navy?

R9 is coming before or after SB? That’s the question. 

hopefully, the album will come in the same week which means the lead single should be released before, but you never know with her

That would be cute tbh. 

 

Im still mad at the GP paying dust to her Home songs that are pretty good. And sledgehammer too.... ?

At this point I cannot imagine a different scenario than her releasing at least a single before the Super Bowl. I know SB performance focuses heavily on artist's catalog but it would feel like such a wasted opportunity for promoting your comeback single/album. Also I cannot see her premiering the new single live - I feel like songs unknown to the GP don't translate well live - so it would need at least a month before the SB to build hype for the first live performance of the song.

In an ideal world

 

r9 lead January (or early feb) prior to the SB > new single performed at SB > r9 in March or April before summer

 

I would have no problem if the lead comes after the SB though. We don't even know the whole sound or anything she's going for this era, so it might not even work with whatever setlist is coming. As long as she doesn't waste the SB hype and we don't get new music till like Q3/Q4 next year...  its Rih though so I wont hold my breath

I feel like they wont let her perform a new song unless its already stablished and known by the GP beforehand.

 

I mean it has no sense to perform a 1 week old song that nobody knows at the SB...

 

I dont think any artist have ever released new song prior to the SB and perform it there so soon.

Give Me All Your Luvin by Madonna was released 2 days before she performs on SB.

and we thought she did nothing....

 

I mean... this proves me SO WRONG

Really? didnt know that.

 

Either way... I dont know if that benefited the song at all... if the song is just too different from her previous work and not good enough it will ruin all the hype.

 

She better not come back with that level of mediocrity after all this time and having the superbowl.... SMH

That's why the new song has to be released until the end of November so it has time to grow and (hopefully) becomes a smash so she can perform it. Otherwise she can just pay it dust.

 

New daily peak for Love On The Brain....

I think that too... but I would wait until the beginning of 2023 tbh.

 

I dont want no xmas drama involved.

I would love the dreadlooks for R9 and the SB. We don't life a era with that look. And if it's reggae related... 

 

Music will come before the show. At least the lead

Works recurrent streams are lowkey tragic tbh  

 

On the contrary, why has LOTB had amazing recurrent streams in recent years? It was barely a hit in most countries (with the exception of the US and a few others) 

Work has to NOT be performed on SB (or just give it a 10sec transition treatment). We ve had enough on the vanguard performance.

LOTB has become a classic and it was her last single. So that always helps.

 

Anyway Work really was overplayed at the time, but let's not forget it has 1.4B views on youtube and it's one of the last 'big' downloaded songs...

Because Work is legitimately a trash song. I've thought this from the first day I heard it. Glad people are finally accepting Woo's supremacy.

Her streaming boost post-SB will be insane. 

Work is the only ANTI track I see her performing. Its my least favorite on the album but it was a huge US hit. 

It is pretty crazy that KIB is getting more streams than Work (deservedly so ofc).

Love On The Brain is that track from Anti

LOTB did serve more longevity tho.

I kind of expect at least one random song. I just hope it's not a kind of pour it up random song but a kind of love without tragedy or firebomb random song.

The only opening songs I can accept are Pon de Replay and Umbrella (after 10-20 secs intro of Wait your turn), otherwise she can cancel.

I feel like Kiss It Better could be that unexpected moment
