Calypso

This is how I feel. She has SO many songs that deserve the attention (and that would actually do well too) but...

She looked and sounded amazing!! And great song choice too

What a random song to get such attention. The ones that should, never really end up getting them. Such is life

I know it most likely isn't going to happen, and even all this chatter about it is silly and nonsensical... but just the thought of it, the faintest possibility, is almost soul-crushing. Nope nope. Let's focus on the positive! I know we haven't gotten any real leads on act-iii yet, but B has been in her creative, vocal and production BAG with act-i and act-ii and its so exciting to imagine what else this evolved B is cooking up

I agree that a well planned, polished and crafted Jayoncé album would be great. BUT, that can and should be its own thing. The trilogy is to HER name, we don't need The Carters added on to it at the end. I personally feel that even if it is an epic and amazing album, if it is "act-iii" it is going to be a disaster in many ways for the legacy of this trilogy (that wont be saved by the project excellence or even good commercial performance). Whats even the point of making this trilogy then? Like ugh

Post your reactions if she releases Everything Is Still Love on 4th Sep

Dance for you is a classic. It deserves so much better

Another "Album Out Now" fiasco?

clocked her tea i'm afriad

Personally, I don't think 29th is a real pattern, like you only said, two is not a pattern necessarily (tho for a trilogy it can be read as one). While I agree the anticipation, frustration and confusion was a big part of the hype of the ST drop, I don't think it was planned in a way that they calculated it all - for the most part it was B figuring out what sound she wanted, what spoke to her and when she actually managed to finish the project. Since then, B has said that she cares about what her projects speak to culturally, artistically and about her as a person who is always growing an evolving. I really think she is still unsure about the 'cultural' moment in which act-iii will drop and what she really wants to land in terms of the 'conversation'. I think times are a bit too chaotic and she is figuring it out and still tweaking to see what will feel right (including the 'when'). We have to be honest that we don't any longer just get albums from B which are just 'a collection of songs' or 'just good music' - her projects are always conceptual and have a lot to say.

Because I'm personally not too satiated or excited over this release, my mind is more thinking about these types of 'strategic' theories. - I fear it is mainly suggesting that we aren't getting anything for a while, maybe December the earliest. And so they have decided to fill the void for fans with this re-release. This suggests that there are really unexpected delays in terms of the project reaching a point where B is happy. - This could be misdirection as well, showing us something else that is coming (a countdown? really? When is the last time we had it?) would make everyone put their guards down. It is closer to what you said in terms of making things unexpected. But I fear this is the Delulu in me

So... we are getting B'day 20th anniversary edition before act-iii An ST song leak is being added to B'day re-release DIL got peanuts and a whiskey ad for its 20th anniversary Anything else to add to our list?

Act-iii really is scrapped not coming anytime soon. Se ya'll in 2030

100%, in fact my mind mostly was tripping on the marketing disaster only... how did it reach to the point of pressing is insane. Also... the cover, does it mean the trilogy didn't really have the theme of a horse? Its so messy

Also, thank god for the person blue blue I know it was you angel that got Beyoncé to scrap the idea of naming her album Beyincé.... talk about a disaster... I still laugh thinking about it. Act- I Renaissance Act- II Beyincé aldkfjalskdfjalkj how do you even pronounce it help
