The fact that the video for 7/11 is almost as often watched as Drunk In Love and amongst her Top5 most viewed videos on Youtube is such a kii. To think this video has almost 400 million views and Formation will probably end up having 20-30 million views is TRAGIQUE
If she does a rock album, I want it to lean towards indie rock and singer-songwriter territory. A sound like If I Were A Boy/You Oughta Know at the Grammys would be perfect imo. Serve us fantastic songwriting and a new sound coupled with bops and horns and FUNK please Bey!

Yeah, she should have just made the original upload public and she should have done that months ago. There was no reason to keep it unlisted past the first day.
Formation on youtube made no sense whatsoever. It's obvious it's released now for the Grammy but like... what was the whole point of keeping it unlisted that you'd need a saved link to access it. She gave the song away for free for a minute. But the video? This goes beyond sabotaging her chances
She was clearly doing it to stop it charting. Just so she doesn't have the 'new single underperformed!11!!!' headlines that she's been terrified of since Run The World. Also, people rushing to buy Formation when Lemonade dropped meant she benefited in SPS.
I think uploading Formation now was probably so Grammy voters can access the song and video online easily, tbh.
I'll be happier if Formation wins ROTY than I will if Lemonade wins AOTY because I love the song that much and I think the statement of the song if more important than Lemonade as a whole. Like if Formation gets ignored I'll be mad as ****.
Tbh, I just want her to win at least one of the big 4 awards at the Grammys. I do think tho she'd be the happiest about the AOTY, since you can tell she put so much time and effort into everything.

There are always vocals present in her songs take for example ***flawless. Those operatic notes are her yet they're in the background, most probably don't even realize it's her.
I want vocals at the forefront, for example Honey. It's airy and light AND they're the focus. I want to hear more of that tone from bey
