act iii is not the visuals we know this

if act iii is the visual project it would be out by now - there's literally no reason to sit on music videos for 5/3 year old songs, however good they are.

and we literaly had a person steal act iii recordings

I have decided to take my own advice ("do you want to be annoyed or do you want to not care?") and instead of letting the petty, illogical, ignorant and entitled critiques about the price of a literal deluxe limited edition 4-vinyl 60-page booklet-having re-release bother me, I will simply be laughing at their ridiculousness.

Would've paid even double the price if the full Kitty Kat video was on it but she's not getting any coin from me otherwise

I did not say I would not mention it.

I said I would go from being annoyed that people are annoyed, to being tickled that people are annoyed.

says who ? you don't know that, you weren't on the set when they were shot

for all we know its just video footage from photoshoots that got reused as visualizers or scrapped footage

Because that doesn't make any logical sense. Like, at all.
We have had confirmation from multiple sources, stars and even directors that Bey is sitting on a treasure trove of unreleased music video footage for these two projects. Nadia Lee Cohen was the director of the original films which are likely currently being re-configured. And the styling and aesthetic of the visualiser footage matches exactly with Nadia's footage and aesthetic inclinations.
The visualiser footage has also been folded into the vinyl booklets, which we know are representative of the music videos for those albums because... it's so obvious

case in point; this image of Bey with the Dolly mug (fig1) from the vinyl booklet is identical to the lyric video for Jolene which sees Beyone drinking from the mug while working at Kntry Radio Texas (fig2)

I dont understand why some hive are refusing to believe that she shot a massive visual project for these albums despite it having been confirmed, and I don't understand why we keep denying she's been using those unreleased visuals throughout her trilogy rollout?

And yes, the photos in the booklets might not be video stills, they might be photos taken on the set of those music videos. But that doesn't mean they aren't glimpses of the videos. Let's take the below assets from the Lemonade album booklet, for example. Some of these are photoshoots from the set, others are stills from the videos themselves. But all of them are, effectively, 'of the music videos';

Like, we know how Beyonce works. Every album since 4 has contained a photo booklet full of music video imagery. Renaissance was - at the time of its packaging at least, intended to be a visual album with a visual accompaniment. Why would she not stick to the same pattern?

Why - logically speaking - would she organise and costume two seperate, hugely elaborate photo and video shoots for the music video project as well as for the album artwork? You're telling me she did two seperate, multi-look, multi set-up, multi high-concept audio-visual productions for each of her two trilogy albums?

Kind of a random thought but I was listening to Rainbow by Mariah the other day and thought about the fact that her path could've played quite differently had Mariah made How Much a single back in 2000.

Because '03 Bonnie and Clyde wouldn't have happened if that was the case. Would they have still been inclined to do Crazy In Love then? How would her debut album play out instead?

Obviously she would've become a big star regardless, she was destined for this but it's interesting to think about how differently things might've happened.

First time in a good year or so that Bey finds herself inside the Top60 on the global artists charts (Spotify). Shes at #58 today, probably thanks to Tyrant+Jolene and some additional streams due to the anniversary rollout.

just talking out of your ass and basing things on logic when NOTHING she's done in the past 15 years is in any shape or form logical. you don't know **** about any of this, none of us do and she doesn't either

Justice for IF!!!!!

if you read all of that and really think i'm talking out of my backside then you just lack comprehension skills no shade
the only motivator Bey has shown herself to be loyal to consistently has been money.
why would she spend so much money on a star-studded, auteur-directed visual project for the trilogy and then spend the same amount on audio visual shoots for every album in the trilogy at the exact same time as she's shooting the film???

We literally know from the imagery metadata that all the artwork was shot at the same time, and imagery from the visualisers and music video trailers are literally shot in the same sets and with the same costumes as the album art.

I'm not talking out my backside, I'm reading and understanding.

I personally ADORE this song, the ending especially.

But I would imagine maybe she removed it because it was only added after Still In Love (Kissing You) was removed.

See how @Kingdom released his negative energy; causing you and other hive to be scrapping for 2 days now.

At least it's not boring in here

If it really turns out to be remastered, meaning that the mixing has finally been fixed, then the standard edition will result in a 10/10 album. Her first 100 score.

Poor Lemonade and Renaissance. B'Day is here to overthrow both of you as Bey's best album to date.

and the bot dupe on downvote duty as usual, slow day at the job center i guess

I'd be here for her being playful with it. Introduce samples and stuff, like the Fela Kuti one for Deja Vu on Homecoming, or an extended outro to Resentment like she did live.

But then again, I don't want to read all the discourse of negative hive when they keep claiming that there's no quality control or that the new versions are worse as if the originals stopped existing. Exhausting.
