The way Beyoncé-summers ALWAYS slayed and shes depriving us of that experience.

I mean look at the material:

CIL debut in summer followed by Baby Boy (2003)

Deja Vu lead for summer (2006)

Release of 4 (2011)

Renaissance (2022)

Only realised now that her 2 best albums were released in the summer.

Ain't that interesting

It was made yesterday

I do lowkey think HOV is dropping a project. Tomorrow's the 30th of Reasonable Doubt. I wonder if he'll announce anything.

I know that Lemonade and Beyoncé could have broken the record if given full weeks, but do you guys think Bey could break Alicia's record of having the biggest debut week sales in the U.S. for a Black woman?

Alicia's As I Am album sold 742,000. I think that the adjustments made with streaming can put Bey over 500k, but 742k may be impossible to reach. I'm thinking, only SZA and Rihanna can break Alicia's record.

In my mind Beyonce already broke that record. ST did over 800k in its first full week in the US. It's just not official because Billboard only counted 3 days.

4skin remains my second favorite Bey album, such an absolute gem

So that's what 15 years feels like. Goddamn

I will never understand the disdain at Bey in this fanbase for managing her career the way she is today or for using pre recorded tracks throughout her show. Especially since she's not doing 100% prerecorded shows, it's most likely 50% live, 50% prerecorded.

She's almost 30 years into her career. Most icons died (tragically, mind you) before their 30 year mark. Mariah's 30 year mark was 2020 and you can go look at what she was giving onstage in 2020 and come back and be ******* grateful. The only exceptions are Janet, who I suspect is doing way more prerecorded than Bey, and Madonna, who hit the 30 year mark in 2012 (and wasn't giving the live vocals Bey is giving today).

I know we're mad there's no act iii yet, but let's not lose the plot. Bey is doing amazing.

15 years of "4"??

Omg

What is happening to time???

No. Like you said, she could possibly reach 500K but 742K is definitely wishful thinking.

I feel like ST and Lemonade were her only opportunities to break Alicia's record.

Enough with the fake outrage, please.

I am not even in the mood to argue. What were even the live moments from her last tour? The hits medley, WDYLM, the national anthem, parts of Ya Ya, and? I don't remember anything else. It was surely not Bodyguard, not even Protector, nor Flamenco, so songs that are perfectly within her range and she could sing even in her sleep, but she chose not to on tour. You are free to enjoy it, I won't surely settle for so little, since the tickets were the most expensive ones for a Beyoncé concert. Speaking of records, this is also the only Beyoncé tour without a single F5 in her whole career.

Besides, your narrative is totally fallacious. You can't compare a powerhouse like Beyoncé, who has been on the same level as Whitney, to the likes of Madonna and Janet Jackson Mariah is different too.

The biggest local artist from my Eastern European country is 87 and she sings entirely live. I won't elaborate anymore.

OT: Let's celebrate both 4 and B'Day. Two iconic masterpieces who shaped and defined pop/R&B music

Fake outrage is saying you "won't settle for so little". Ridiculous. What are your credentials as a performer to insinuate that enjoying the CC tour is settling?

Anyways, you're shifting the goalposts. My point wasn't whether or not it was completely live or 50/50. My point was that, for an artist nearly 30 years into a very physical career, the amount of live singing she still does is impressive compared with many of her peers.

Whitney sadly passed before reaching the 30-year mark of her career, and unfortunately she wasn't as vocally consistent before passing either, which is exactly my point in saying Beyoncé is handling her career and her live/prerecorded ratio just right. I compared her to Madonna and Janet because they're the only pop icons with comparable careers built around both singing and dancing onstage. YOU, on the other hand, compared her to a local Eastern European artist who is 87.

As for ticket prices, there are countless factors beyond vocal delivery: a longer show, a significantly larger stage, one of the biggest LED screens she's ever toured with, more dancers, more crew, more lighting, more automation, more costume changes, and a far more elaborate production overall. Whether that justifies the price is subjective, but reducing it to "she used prerecorded vocals" ignores everything else that went into the show.
