Beyoncé
Hey so I really don't care for the live version of Drunk In Love (aside from the Dubai riff). I mean not only are Jay Z's verses are atrocious, but the chorus can feel grating after a few rounds. So for his sake, if he/they are actually performing, I rather them not perform that at all. Welcoming Bey to the halftime stage during Bonnie and Clyde though That song has already been taking off on streaming as of late, so they might as well take the opportunity to make it an even bigger classic.

COMPLEX ranked the best R&B songs of the 2000s
You Don't Know My Name is definitely worthy of the top 5, but she has so many more classics that can take up at least 3 spots overall. I mean "Fallin" alone as her debut single became an instant classic. I can let some of her other gems slide, but not including Fallin or If I Ain't Got You is just odd. Not including Be Without you by MJB is also weird. I also find it funny that Single Ladies of all songs is thrown in there. Like why not Crazy In Love instead? That falls more in line with R&B.

Is it morally justifiable to out closeted conservatives?
depends on their track record. It's bad enough to be a republican, but if it's a local representative who doesn't really engage in culture wars or openly airs out his anti-LGBT views, then whatever. Even if he's cheating on his wife. I don't feel bad for women who marry republicans, let alone closeted ones.

How is Beyoncé's brand "luxury"? Be serious
I guess she just feels her "worth" is exceptionally high. Given all the discourse around her and how influential and polarizing she's become just adds to that effect. The security she requires is a lot more critical than most celebrities for example. Like she's become a historical figure in music that goes beyond the vapidness of most pop stars of the moment in time, so whatever she's overcharging now can be sold for A LOT more later down the line.

Beyoncé fails to stabilize on Spotify with new music, why?
Did you really just cherry pick the 2006 deluxe version while OG B'Day and the reissue is doing millions more on the side? The reissue did a solid 4M yesterday Go worry about Irreplaceable alone being older than Gaga's career with more daily stream than half of Gaga's solo albums and then maybe we can talk about complete discographies aging like milk. And the fact that Bruno/DWAS is saving Gaga from having 12M daily streams, which is what Beyoncé was doing 2 weeks ago if you took away Crazy In Love. ABYSMAL (according to yall) Like Monsters need to give it up by now, the gap is not even that big between the two for y'all to keep pushing this narrative so brazenly.

Did you know Rihanna and Bey collabed on a song?
This video will always kill me Beyoncé being in the middle with that Etta James wig. Miley and Rih with those literal goat like vocals. Fergie ending it with a reggae vibe It's low key a bop tho

Which flop artist would you make smash tomorrow?
Hmm, what if I said I wish Alicia Keys had a comeback with "In Common" (The Kaskade Remix) after it went #1 for 5+ weeks

What's better? Smashing with collab VS smashing with old song
I feel like it's a tad titti but cooler when an old song smashes. Especially if the old song was lil moderate hit back then, or a non-single. If it's a hit from the past that's smashing, then the new song wins.

Beyoncé fails to stabilize on Spotify with new music, why?
Didn't it perform much better than the other "anniversary" reissues this decade released by "streaming giants" who debuted a decade+ after her? Did no one follow up on those and how they faired by comparison within the same time frame?

Beyoncé - 'B'Day (20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition)'
I feel like that's the case for Creole bc there's a head voice she uses that's not on the original unreleased version. I feel like the other two are pitched down tho.
