album is dead anyway, the show couldn't save it (I doubt visuals will)

and now she's being dragged for doing propaganda (allegedly) / being in cahoots with the NFL (hm well kinda)

now imagine if beybowl picked up from her first halftime show so songs from ST (DIL country remix) , LEM (daddy lessons, hold up country remix), REN (bms, cuff it) and CC (yaya, THE, levi) 

or a medley from the 3 acts…

idk

Bodyguard on GRAMMYs first then release the remix with Sabrina Carpenter.

I ran for Camila Cabello

I forgot to add that song to the OP 

i think highlighting CC's strongest point like yaya, bodyguard and obviously the hit THE would've done a better job at promoting the album 

bc why during an halftime show the only song ppl really knew came out at the end 

No. You can tell towards the end you started to feel the crickets…

 

They tried to make it seem like "Texas Hold 'Em" was the big moment but everybody knows that song wasn't big enough to carry a whole halftime….

Have some faith sis in Beyjesus. The Tour is coming!

The smoke and mirrors haven't been smoking and mirroring this era.

 

 

bey doesnt really care that much about commercial performance when it comes to choosing what to perform. she's always believed in performing songs like theyre hits even if they arent

Senorita and Havana aren't enough for a halftime show.

 

No, CC was dead before the show and dead after the show. 

 

She should've done a halftime show for Renaissance instead.

No

No. It was very boring. 

 

Putting it on streaming and calling it Beyonce Bowl or whatever is even more cringe. 

That was not the right place for 16 Carriages and Blackbird. Everything on the field was great

Camila Cabello? Yes ✅ Cowboy Farter? No ❌

Deserve, as though a halftime show is something that you need to earn. Bey puts on a fucking performance, and that's all that matters. Most of her peers wouldn't be half as entertaining, even with a hit album.

Well no. It all felt forced.

that is true, like i even like levi now 

but for an halftime show you have to please the gp a bit, you could tell ppl really enjoyed texas that's why i was like hm cuff it would've really been a moment - even a country remix  

(So I made this thread)

That's good for fans/tours but not for these mass appeal events. She's there to entertain and it's a bit self-indulgent tbh to assume general viewers/ people watching a football game care to see some of the songs for 13 minutes or however long 
 

It's to her benefit as well to keep the set list tight and on-target for the event. People respond better

Absolutely! she's barely acknowledged the album since it's release! 

It's on netflix for some reason and my sister decided to put it on during dinner. Was one of the fastest dinners ever, we even skipped dessert. My mum didn't recognize Bey at first. I'd say no it wasn't

It's not really about her performing skills or the production etc, that's something no one can come for

but I felt like it could've been an opportunity to showcase a discography a bit more

that is also true, like she's making up for not promoting it earlier? That is actually a good reason 

No, but it served its purpose of distracting us from the ongoing Jay Z pedophile rapist scandal.

A 10 minute medley of an album that has damn near 30 tracks is the least she could do actually.

Short answer: no.

 

Long answer: It wasn't her best album, it wasn't even really a good album. It was sure a long album tho. I preferred her Lemonade medley over this. They really relied heavily on Texas Hold 'Em to be a "aha, we're in Texas!" moment, and it… idk, I hate that song personally, it feels like such a "I'm one of you" moments when her whole shtick for the past decade has been this otherworldly Goddess vibe and it feels so disingenuous. I'm really excited for Act III if it does turn out to be a rock album, but for this last part, it felt kinda phoned in to me. Renaissance was ok, but CC felt like a cash-grab and I kinda hope it didn't pay off.

Ya Ya was nice at least.
