I think around the summer when Columbia rejected the record a second time due to lack of hits, and Kanye did his Yeezus thing, she was like "**** it" and started creating this. This release doesn't cost Columbia anything, the videos are probably all funded by Pepcé. No physical copies. They'd have been fools to reject her again.

This album has to have been done for a least a couple months, because it would take at least 2-3 months to film all of these videos. The songs had to have been completed in order to shoot the videos at all.

I have a feeling it's been done since like the end of the summer. The album as it is now actually fits pretty well with how people (Ne-Yo, The-Dream) described the record.

Beyonce.

The ''Haunted'' video is how you do a great Madonna reference, take notes Lady FlopGa.

Beyonce's getting legend-levels of respect right now. Lemme stan for her for a few days until her album starts boring me and I get sick of her lack of intellect again.

Now let me watch the videos.

They're the best part of the album!

If I heard the album without watching the videos, I would probably only like XO, Jealous, and Heaven.

Seeing all of these reactions is proof that Beyonce's obsession with status is at least satisfied: she's cultural royalty, above the concept of A-listers and what not.

Columbia Records chairman Rob Stringer for HITS DAILY Double

"At the beginning of next year we've got Broken Bells and Bruce Springsteen.

"Then we've got Lea Michele from Glee coming, and we've got Foster the People up next.

“Then we've got Pharrell and Solange, and obviously, at some point Beyoncé will put a record out, and when she does it will be monumental. So we're in really, really good shape."

Ahhhhhh

Beyonce bypassing her weakness (singles) by doing things on her own terms is a pretty smart chess move.
I wonder how the era will pan out. Will she add other legs to the tour to perform the new music? What will radio play? Yeezus and MC still had singles.

You Madoodoo stans are trying it, I said I was gonna behave but I WILL take out my whip and lash.

[RobynYoBank]

Twenty years from now, will the pop girls trying to break out say

"I am inspired by Madonna. I want to be like Madonna."

or

"I am inspired by Beyonce. I want to be like Beyonce."

?

[RichGirlPlanet]

She has a 2 month break between the new act of the Mrs Carter Tour and the last ones, so she'll probably do appearances. I think there is even room for the GRAMMYs and BRITs.
She also had Pepsi spam an unreleased song, so I'm not too worried about the campaign.

That's one of the reasons why rihannafan is making those angray, racist blogs about 300 reasons why he hates Beyonce. Because deep inside he knows that no matter how many singles that sl*t wh*res out, she is never touching Beyonce's level. Not even close.

Why would you do that? Most Madonna fans over at the Madge forums like the Beyonce references. Beyonce's being smart with it, unlike Lady TheftGa.

Something tells me there's a second component to this project that won't be revealed until some of the smoke clears.

Whether it's a smaller-scale EP with a few radio-friendly songs to swallow, I'm not sure. But I can't shake this feeling that she's not yet through with releasing new music.

It just applies to EVERYTHING, really.

@Robyn, both. Once Madonna is dead people will probably see her better.

What's the problem with being influenced by Madonna? I for one loved the reference (as pretty much everyone did).

Of course, a couple of the songs were probably finished last year already for version 1 of the album that she wanted to release post-Super Bowl. But the idea to turn it into a video album and release it like this came later.
