Alien Superstar would've been an easy #1 debut had she pushed it on release week, it was extremely viral, even the haters were gagged by the chorus. Hell she could've treated it as a promo single and reserve official second single status for Cuff It if need be.

Make AHAP 3rd/4th single when it was viral (not just a remix months after it wasn't) and Heated a cute summer single during the tour when it was also getting nice boosts. Give every single a good remix and accompanying music video and you'd be looking at SMASHES… lord the era we could've gotten

I don't think we're going to get another album trailer/teaser à la "I'M THAT GIRL (Official Teaser)," or act ii trailer. I feel it would just be mundane at this point. I think she's going to do something different. I can't see her continuing to "tease" something in the same vein if nothing's going to come to fruition. I don't think it'll be a music video, but something else, nonetheless……

A wasted era

The early 2000's Bey nostalgia before she became BEYONCE!

Can someone show this Beyonce so she can overcome her fear of being in front of a camera where she has to talk freely?

Another example of Parkwood/her teams outdated approach was them copyrighting and removing all the viral sailor moon videos with Alien Superstar. It was everywhere, not even just fan twitter. Like your fans are literally likening the song to the feeling of levitating. You think that exposure is a bad thing?

Why is her debut album doing numbers on Spotify lmao?

I believe Naughty Girl is somewhat "viral" on TikTok though I am yet to see it. Everything has been steadily increasing and CiL is also back to its old numbers over 1mil daily.

But what would that even be? A one-off performance? An IG live? Her going in the middle of Times Square and throwing vinyls at people?

I agree. I think it's interesting that she's given us a little more rope each era…it kind of mimics the rollout of a regular film:

Act I we got the teaser

Act II we got the trailer

Act III we get a release date?

Imagine everyone parsing apart your posts on here and talking **** about how stupid you are. You probably wouldn't care to speak so freely, either.

The way y'all give Bey so much **** for things other artists do 100x worse

Tiffany's for Renaissance, Levi's for CC... which brand will she link up with for act iii?

I find it absolutely crazy how so many albums burn out soooo quickly by artists not named Beyoncé. I barely stick to albums these days.

The only albums with longevity in my house are Hit Me Hard And Soft by Billie, The Art of Loving by Olivia Dean and A Man's Best Friend by Sabrina.

Other albums I listen to intensively burn out so quickly.

So PLEASE @Beyoncé: Release Act3 so I can stream an album over and over again without getting bored by it.

and yet I stayed. I guess I should be a true inspiration for Bey. Take notes @Beyoncé!

Sometimes I feel like she did Jolene because Dolly was so vocal about wanting her to cover it. 9 to 5 would've been so much more fitting for Bey and even been a callback to Break My Soul.

Everyone says, "Beyonce was never going to beg Jolene not to take her man. That's not her brand." To which I say, don't do it at all, then. The beauty of the song is the desperation and stripping your pride away.

Beyonce now has the highest-charting version of "Jolene" on many charts globally by a country mile (and Dolly Parton got her second "I Will Always Love You" moment, albeit on a much, much, much smaller scale), but the song itself didn't give Beyonce much to play with as it was already so well-known. She tried with the additions of the chorus, new lyrics, and harmonies, but it is a basic song.

I really wanted B to choose a Dolly song that would've matched her musicianship more:

Could you imagine a cover of this (with the interesting key changes into the chorus and the spoken-word bridge) after the "Yacht Rock" moment of "Bodyguard?" Chef's Kiss

That Jolene cover contains pure evil

Just had the craziest thought earlier while I was cleaning the house blasting DC remixes (Maurice Joshua we miss youuuuu)

Considering next year will be 30 years since No No No and DC official debut and considering Bey and Kelly are both probably dropping in the coming months....what if Act III tour next year has Kelly (and Michelle?) as opening acts? It would be a cute way to reference the DC era by still promoting their current eras...the thought of Michelle opening the evening with gospel hymns, Kelly breaking down with all her iconic hits and then Bey tearing the house down with her rock opera (with of course a DC medley somewhere in the setlist with the girls)....i think the tickets would sell out like CRAZY. Imagine touring the world with your best friends one more time without the burden of it being a "comeback", "revival" tour but by letting each girl shine on their own idk it could sound corny but i got wet at the thought lol

I mean, both her and him deserved lashings…how are you designing a production this big and no one noticed the most expensive tickets are an obstructed view…it's like…a very large oversight. Luckily bey listened and tried to fix the honey buckin pits. I'm sure Harry will do the same.
