i would have passed TF out if kelly and letoya popped up at my CCT date.

Chatgpt, generate a Beyoncé song that the israeli government would enjoy

sure, one moment…

Ok, I came up with something, it's called All Up In Your Mind

Unpopular opinions:

Lemonade is overrated within the Hive

I still haven't listened to the gift

I side eye any and everyone who puts the gift or IASF in her top 3

Homecoming (live album) is underrated

I'm tired of seeing her perform I Care

It's obvious we'll get the visuals before the 3 acts conclude

Renaissance is a better album than Cowboy Carter

Idk if it's new or what but the amount of lip syncing is catching my eye too much

Lyrically, and visually, I'd like to hear and see less sex mentioned unless the song calls for it

I don't want to see any kids on stage performing with her ever again

I'd like to hear more "clean" vocals a la Perfect Duet

She's wasting her youth, beauty, and prime with this no promo bs

I fear the visuals will be all over the place (age and weight wise) due to the reshoots/delays/recording happening over such an extended time

Bootlicker hive are possibly more annoying than haters

We need a few more Jay Z music collabs, they have an amazing track record

She needs to put all this energy for selling random bullshit (clothes, hair products, whiskey) into her artistry or keep it mute. She does NOT need more money, I don't buy any of the "my family has a long history with X product" nor "I'm building generational wealth as a black American"

I agree with all of this minus the Limonada take

One day your brain will develop and I look forward to it

Lemonade isn't even discussed enough in the hive to begin with these days let alone to be overrated

A lot of good arguments/opinions, but these ones, especially the 2 regarding The Gift, took me out.

How do you wanna judge if u havent listened at all?

The Gift is a stellar project and packs incredible Bey songs.

Sit yo ASS down and listen to the project. Its beautifuly, gorgeous and totally underrated. Like, tell your fam you need to work for an hour and then listen to the album front to back.

I GUARANTEE youll come back and agree that its overly hated and actually a good to great project.

Summer Renaissance is a bop, love the beat, the melody, it's catchy and could have been a single yet those lyrics are atrocious.

No more Jay Z collabs, let grandpa retire in peace. If he's going to be involved he can do so like in Alien Superstar.

Renaissance in a way is the Sasha Fierce theme fully developed.

The Gift needed those interludes chopped but it has some gems… Otherside, Bigger, Water, Already, Find Your Way Back all 10s. We need to see them live. Also the name of the album sucks.

RWT and CCT had less lip syncing than any of her previous tours. Also how can you side eye people putting the gift into her top 3 if you haven't even listened to the project? It's not in my top 3 but you're not making any sense here..

Yes, the gift praise I live for it, find your way back has been certified 10x diamond in my household

I'd die for a tour comprising her non-main line discog

Is it just me, or is her enunciation on The Gift strange? Kind of like during EIL

Its CRAZY they went with The Gift when Black Is King was right there

I'll try. I really love spirit and black parade and I think those are from the gift

I feel like the Hive, at times, fights harder for her than we really should. If she can't defend herself, that's her problem.

B****, I'm still clocking into work and going to school.

No, if I posted this all hell would break loose.

Anyways, perfect duet sounds a mess. She sounds out of breath. Ed Sheeran said she likes to record in one take and you can definitely tell on that song. However, you are correct. I do think the visuals will look a mess since she's so physically inconsistent…

The way I made the most significant posts list in the thread summary. Ikdr

I think she just showed that she's mastered the art of lip syncing to a T. . . except for she was caught lipping the "PURE/HONEY". Everyone with a working brain understands why she's lip syncing, but girl. . . hold the mic up to your mouth🥴❗️

Merry Christmas Basé! I hope anyone that ordered any of her holiday merch receive their items before the New Year!

Not you choosing violence on Xmas lol.

Some of these are wild af and uncalled for lmao (especially the Gift slander), but I'll ever and always be in agreement about your opening line...

I will forever be of the take that the Hive and the world at large conflated an iconic ERA as somehow equaling an iconic ALBUM.

The Lemonade material is not musically part and parcel of Bey's core musical arsenal. Hence, why y'all can gag over her recent tours that barely feature any songs from the album sans Formation. Make it make sense lol. Let's not even get started on those remnant streams (late streaming debut or not).

Where I'll throw the Lemonade lovers a bone is that it is probably **the ERA that evoked the most FEELING. From the relationship disclosure, the political discourse, the MAGA blowback, and her deliberately going left of the rump-shaking Beyonce schtick. It was an incredible smart move at the time and one that helped position and cement has as a critics' darling.

My thing is: that doesn't automatically make the album itself a deity amongst her discography. The music on it is what ensures that and I just have never felt it holds up the way some of y'all claim it does.

Facts

The material itself isn't that spectacular compared to other of her projects

Edited December 25, 2025Dec 25 by Bicassie

We are so close to a new era...

I love her spring album starts, too.

Crazy In Love - May 2003

Run The World - April 2011

Lemonade - April 2016

I expect single in April, album in May, hopefully!
