Gossip_Boy Posted November 18 Posted November 18 I will probably watch for B but the Mike Tyson and Jake Paul fight was a nightmare. It was glitching every 10 seconds. Netflix is not capable of pulling off live events just yet.
ReneighIsHere Posted November 18 Posted November 18 the way she just felt like performing some cowboy carter songs and BOOM they created a new halftime show for her with unlimited budget 4 3
Weld_E Posted November 18 Posted November 18 Can someone explain the difference between this and the superbowl halftime show in terms of budget and performance time?
Comedor Posted November 18 Posted November 18 2H2H deserves a moment in the set list. Let's get it! 2

As a stan who pays attention to her words and her mantra of "only wanting to do ish if first or it's innovative", I've been scratching my head about where she can perform these days. Cus she's not re-doing the Super Bowl, Homecoming/Coachella is canon as its own thing, Glastonbury is kinda "been there, done that". It was like...what's left? And then boom...this drops out of the sky. And it's such a flex. 200 million+ people...worldwide...live..on Christmas day. It's SUCH a flex. It's so rich in promotional opportunities too. She literally could do any of the following: * Announce a tour (perfect tie-in) * Drop a deluxe CC with new tracks performed * Wrap Up CC with this and Hard Launch Act III * Run a trailer for the visuals right after * Drop the Rennie film on Netflix (as a "gift") She really is playing this game on a level that I think few of us are comprehending. There were no murmurs, no speculation, no nothing. And yet it flawlessly sets the stage for more. I'm not endorsing of all her shenanigans (like, sis, just lean into being a Popstar sometimes). BUT...this...this is a flex. 4 13
OrgVisual Posted November 18 Posted November 18 But why is there a game on Christmas Day? Someone explains
Lose My Breath Posted November 18 Posted November 18 And then we are going to get a tour announcement
cuteboyzay Posted November 18 Posted November 18 I'm so f*cking EXCITED FOR THISSS!!! Literally onChristmas Day!? First Netflix Live Special ever for a Football game!? And the fact that more people have Netflix than they even have CABLE is such a smart move. And on a Holiday, when literally everything is f*cking closed so everyone's just staying in!!! This is lowkey a bigger deal than I feel most of us are comprehending lmaooo!!! Like this sh*t is so smart, I can't. 10 1

BUT...this...this is a flex. I'm just worried Netflix will **** things up.. they had their first live event two days ago for the Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul match, 60 million households tuned in and they couldn't take it, the live kept buffering every 10 seconds. Now, i don't think this event will have as much viewers. I looked it up and the 2023 Christmas game had 27M viewers, but that was on TV. Football fans tend to prefer TV over streaming, so I think this event will probably get 15-20M viewers max (which is still a lot), hopefully there aren't any streaming issues this time.
ericcartman Posted November 18 Posted November 18 Looks like she's campaigning for that Grammy afterall

Spicy Pisces Posted November 18 Posted November 18 Opening the CC album cycle during the Super Bowl and closing it with this Halftime show like two bookends following her big GRAMMY noms is satisfying. I don't think there will be a tour announcement but I'll be keeping a close eye

Maybe the potential smaller sum of viewers will help their servers stay on track? lol At the same time, Bey is a big name with big global pull on a big day (Christmas), so I could see a lot of people tuning in. Wondering aloud if, post-performance, Netflix will keep it as a standalone special on the service, exclusively within the game (thus driving up views of the game overall), or stick it on YouTube like the Super Bowl performances are. This is all so damn exciting. 4

My guess is for the family-oriented nature of the two holidays. Last year's Xmas game did 30 million on regular TV.
Cbreezy Posted November 18 Posted November 18 Just now, Bicassie said: This being a worldwide thing…def great for a tour I'm really trying to temper my excitement and allow it to be centralized on the performance rather than what it could be the "set up for". But it's so damn hard when, like you said, it so easily slots into being perfect tour promo.
truthteller Posted November 18 Posted November 18 when she opens the performance with her spraying Ce Noir 1 2
Kiss It Better Posted November 18 Posted November 18 hold on, if this becomes a thing i need Mariah to do this next year it's so on brand for her and to finally perform a halftime show + promote a new album 3
BnPac Posted November 18 Posted November 18 (edited) She's just so random. The definition of doing what she wants and when she wants. What a life! It's incredible to think her last performance was Be Alive and before, it had been a while too. I don't know what this entails but very looking forward to it. I cross fingers for Yaya and American Requiem. Edited November 18 by BnPac 8 1
