LMFAO! I felt so awkward when everyone around me sat down during Plastic & Virgo’s Groove. I almost sat down too, but I said NAH! That’s y’all business!

I think The Big 3 gets cut because from Plastic Off The Sofa onward, the only song that’s not brand new Renaissance material is Naughty Girl — and Drunk if she does The Big 3. That’s 8 new songs back to back. I didn’t notice it when I saw her from CR in Chicago, because I was surrounded by stans…. but the stretch from Plastic Off The Sofa felt challenging for the casual fan when I saw her from a non-floor seat in Phoenix. I think it’s more of a show momentum thing and keeping the audience engaged with songs they instantly recognize.

I honestly don’t know a thing! I’m just as hype and guessing like everyone else. A friend of mine is friends with someone who worked on set for one of the shoots. And they had to style this person. No idea what it’s for. But when you remember the story of her wanting to shoot Britney, and the tip about Keke Palmer & Regina Hall filming together, it all starts to paint a picture.

This is amazing! LMFAO! Paul Reubens being in the visuals is hilarious. RIP. The cameo I’ve been sworn to secrecy is just as bizarre. So, this tracks! My prediction? The celebs are all of her neighbors in the town of ECHOVILLE. I know it’s hard, but give her some grace. This is going to be so great!

I understand, but it reminds me of this story from THR (July 2023). https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/music-news/beyonce-scraps-50-songs-album-590765/amp/ It reads as though she was scrambling and couldn’t figure it out, but a few weeks later she started shooting music videos. Basically, we’ve been here before. Maybe this article was true in the sense that the direction changed. But the added context of 4 being her lowest seller and the writers being affected (most made the album) painted a doom & gloom narrative. When people can’t figure out her wave, they seem to try and fill in the blanks. Reputable source or not, though, I don’t believe everyone just passed on it. But it’s cool if you and anyone else does.

YOU don’t have to disregard a thing. Nor did I ever imply anyone needed to. I just don’t buy it.

Who cares? It’s not commentary on him, it’s his source. Reputable publications and people get bad intel all the time. TMZ has accidentally reported people being dead before. It happens.

Yeah, I mean I’m open to the possibility of her going in asking for $200M and everyone looking upside her head in the meeting like GIRL! But I personally think the project is ambitious, lengthy, star cameo packed and beyond the scale of anything she’s ever done. Everyone is antsy, so they assume something has gone wrong. It’s just taking a lot of time. In the middle of all this, she had a tour to work on. Not making excuses, but she has a lot on her plate. Im sure, for better or worse, she wants it to be perfect. I’m never believing everyone is just passing, though. Give me a break.

LMFAO! This mystery “source” is no different than a Deuxmois blind item. One legitimate piece of info like a director or cameo to establish some sort of legitimacy. And then go off the rails with everything else. ECHOVILLE has been rumored to be jampacked with star cameos. There’s one in particular that I can’t say, but none of you will see it coming. I don’t have any tea — just this cameo. And I can only imagine who else. There‘s absolutely no way multiple streaming giants passed. Please.

Period! And I understand that the source is speculating, but they weren’t speculating that studios passed on it. They reported that as fact. It’s giving “I have one piece of solid info, so I created an entire storyline to go with it”.

I understood. I’m just saying it that doesn’t make sense to report/speculate that studios passed on it and when asked why, the answer being “Maybe she wasn’t happy with it”. For me, that calls the entire piece into question. She had a viewing for potential buyers, but there’s no deal because she didn’t like it? Saying something that absurd as the “source” calls into question, for me, everything else. I believe Nadia is one of the directors. And that’s it.

My only issue with the article is that it reads sort of like conjecture in the same breath of trying to report studios passed on it. You can’t report something was passed on because studios felt there was no replay value, but then in the next line say there’s no deal because Beyoncé might be unhappy with the finished product. That makes it all sound like speculation as to why it hasn’t dropped. Nevertheless, I’m just happy it’s being reported. Maybe we’re close.

I never typed this.

No, bro I wish!!! I just saw her on Sunday in Chicago. In Club Renny. What a show! It is confirmed that I will stan this woman forever.

I think it’s really coming. The trailer at the very least. I also think Tina’s divorce announcement was timed perfectly. A day later she has a new record out rolling into the visual trailer or film.
