OTR II over FWT y'all have lost your goddamn minds

talking solely about the scale of the stage, lighting, screen and special effects. not about the full show.

OTR II production was epic, with the band behind her a la Homecoming and the part of the main stage that lifted and moved were very impressive and innovative. the long runways also allowed for better looks at her from more people.

yea thats what i meant. FWT is the better show but dont sleep on OTR II production.

remember when that MJ fan made that cryptic weird post before RWT started? good times

i can see the arguments in OTR II's favor but big screens and long catwalks aren't gagging me. FWT was just a much more innovative stage set up. like a 7 story high, ginormous rotating cube, that opens up different parts to reveal its intricate interior that also tells a story, without mentioning all the bonus parts such as the water tank, the opening trapdoors, the catwalk, the flamethrowers, the huge lighting structure that enclosed the stage, the extra screens, the CIL boxes, the partition chair etc. it was just overall much more impressive and cutting edge than OTR 2.0. OTR II's production wasn't bad by any means, it just wasn't all that groundbreaking or wow inducing

this part alone ends the entirety of OTR II

A stage design that still tops several current tours, a decade later.

The fact that she has only uploaded the Beyoncé Bowl and commercials on her Youtube channel this year

this means we're either getting a mega acclaimed and highly respected magnum opus

or a loud, dated mess

Good morning

speaking of loud, dated messes (complimentary) can she finally put Back Up and Lost Yo Mind on streaming for B'Day's 20th anniversary edition please.

Bow Down is just hitting for me this morning!

FWT >>> OTR2 in every single way expect for costumes?

Anyone know if she has any nice placements on NYE playlists?

texas hold em (#30) and crazy in love (#91) on the NYE spotify playlist.

CIL always gets boosted this time of year. A couple years ago it did really well like 1.7 million. I doubt it'll crack a million this year. She's being pushed out.

Despite being my top Spotify artist every year, the Queen was nowhere to be seen on my YouTube recap top 5 artists. However, Cozy and Pure/Honey Ballroom live studio tracks by MurphGrande were in my top 5 tracks.

Further proof that we aren't streaming cause her studio albums suck in comparison to live soundtracks.
