People acting like Bey doesn't have a loyal Pop audience, bigger than her Urban audience.
I'm ok with her abandoning Pop for Urban but then why work with Ryan Tedder, Sia etc... When Taylor decided to stop doing Country, she stopped working with Country producers.
It's like she's talking the talk but can't walk the walk
Anyway, a leak is imminent. Tomorrow probably.
I'm ready for it. I think the leak will happen around Thurs. They could at least let us get a preview on Itunes.
Edit: Not the song but the catchphrases. I genuinely believe there are people who don't know of the song but just associate "I Woke Up Like This" with Beyonce.
I agree. I see 'I woke up like this' used all the time, even in my school, and only 2 or 3 people I speak to know where it comes from. Just that it's a 'Beyoncé thing'.
Flawless could have been a viral hit, if only the Nicki remix/iTunes release came sooner
I just think Bey wanted this era to be urban. She doesn't seem to care about Pop AT ALL right now. I'm sure if she wanted a pop album, she would deliver a pop album like she did with IASF, it's not like she hasn't done it before. Since 4, she just doesn't seem to care about the pop world, she is focused on her R&B/Hiphop roots which is not surprising since her husband is a rapper, she is influenced by him and his world a lot it seems. I think next era she will switch it up because eventually she'll get bored with this trend.

yeah, i dont think she's leaving columbia. even if she's "independent," she'll need them for distribution, kinda like how madonna is independent but is still on a roster of a label ( i dont remember which)
Four kinds of stans:
A. Boring era, we need promo
B. You're stupid, can't you see the no promo is just for the first month of release?
C. Y'all complain too much, she's obviously on tour and will promote after the tour.
D. Can't you see it's just for this era, she'll go back to normal on B6.
Her album sales are great, so is her touring, she's making more now than she ever has
Single income is hardly comparable
I doubt she's leaving Columbia anyway, not unless she starts her own label
You're too old to be saying things like this. Single success is not about money. It puts you out there, expands your audience, increases your brand, gets you the biggest endorsements. Single success is what makes you get killer endorsements 3 years into your break.
Anyway y'all are doing too much..Her career is Good.Her legacy is good..I can't @ how some of y'all are trying to throw away her 17 year career of huge achievements over 1 era..

You're such a mess
I would think Beyonce is a bit more business savvy than you, no? She hasn't had ANY trouble with her brand in the past 3 years and she's had what, mediocre single success?
Do you really think singles are breaking her career? That's laughable!
