The constant complaining and negativity makes it difficult to feel or share excitement about things sometimes. You don't have to like every song and performance, and it's fine to expect her to deliver a certain level of quality, but some of you are just... Ugh. I watched MIA and I enjoyed it, I watched Global Citizen and I enjoyed it. Were either of them TBE or Glastonbury level? No, but they were good shows, certainly better than the crap some of these other girls are constantly delivering.
Some of you expect way too much of this woman. Reading some of these posts you'd swear she went on stage and lazily walked around while her background dancers and props did all the entertaining. You'd swear she went on stage and dodged all the high notes in her songs while patting her crotch and cussing out the audience every 5 seconds.
Not every performance is going to be the slay of all slays and there will be songs on the setlist that aren't for you. Lord knows I've fast forwarded through every Irreplaceable and Naughty Girl performance. Some of you might hate XO live, some of us happen to like it. Be critical, but some of you are so overly dramatic. I'm mad at myself for even typing out this essay like any of this crap affects my life in any way.

Get them together

If damn near any other girl got on stage and did half of what Bey did last night in a performance, her stans would lose their ****. I just scroll past all the nonsense and complaining; maybe Bey should give an absolutely awful show one day just to re-calibrate some of the asinine and delusional expectations a lot of her fans have grown to have of what her shows should be. People that were expecting a completely different set up from MIA were being absolutely ****ing ridiculous. One of the very few drawbacks for stanning for someone as dedicated and serious about quality as Bey is, is that there won't be a lot of surprises as far as her delivery is concerned from show to show -- there won't be any horrid performances that make the next "just ok" performance seem absolutely stellar. Bey's performing isn't a roller coaster ride; she delivers consistent quality as she is serious about making sure every person that spends their hard earned money to see her gets a damned good show. 90% of the people that go to see her live, will likely only see full live concerts of hers once or twice in their lives -- that's who she is keeping in mind when performing and not the hardcore stan minority that is watching every move she makes with a magnifying glass. Like, deal with that or find another hobby.

on a more positive note has there ever been a baby as iconic as blue ivy? she's not even four and she's already a global superstar

[Dessy Fenix]

LOL. My friend was saying something similar the other day. She was like "Maybe ol' girl needs to give a few lazy shows like these other girls do or she should disappear for a few years and force these kids to see how much they take her for granted."
I mean, look at award shows. The same ones who complained about her doing the same **** are now the ones hoping that she shows up to perform because none of these current acts (and 'legends') are delivering anything worth tuning in for. She should give that a go actually, and finally give these stans something to really complain about.

Her show last night was good.

What is going on with her band though? For the last era they are not on stage. I hope they aren't gone for good because that was one of the things that stood out, but maybe she is just giving it a rest for now?

[Kisuke]

Yall acting like she just pulled a Rihanna at her best kinda shows the performance was fine.
Who else serves vocals and dancing like she does last night ?

They were there just behind the screens.

I love Bey and her performances are always stellar but I wish she'd switch up DIL a lot it's such a lit song but she sits for 90% of that song. Outside of that I think she's doing great. And I love the setup. e

[Lorelei]

I guess every fanbase can never be fully satisfied. I noticed she didn't go off as usual last night but she was still good no matter what, remember that right now she's on a hiatus. I can't complain because i'm a new fan, i've got into her since the self titled and she's the most passionate performer than any other girl out there. I wish my actual fave did as much after having a kid and showed the same dedication.

Interesting. My theory has more ground now

Exactly.
I wanted to say something earlier then I was like "these people are never happy"
Her set was amazing. I loved it. Some stans expect a new show everyday. That's not how it works. Broadway performers do the same exact show for years. Madonna and U2 are also putting on the same show every night.
But I think this comes from Bey haters who like to say "she's always doing the same thing" so some fans now think that's a legitimate drag or shade The same haters who stan for girls who literally just walk back and forth and let the fans sing the songs
Some people think that doing nothing at all is better than doing the same amazing routine for the 2nd time ever.

I hate that
The dances to CIL and SL is to iconic to change however she does remix the two often
She changed up DIL completely
7/11 & Feeling Myself are new
RTA(with IW) and the OT/GW mashup are new
Jumpin Jumpin hasn't been done in so long it is practically new
RTW & LOT are the only songs that haven't changed
XO & Halo are 2 of my favorites so I love when she perform those

I've been thinking about this for a while. It seems like it's becoming somewhat of an insecurity to some of the Hive. It's the one thing other fan bases try to constantly drag her for, so now, some of the Hive may feel like, "well, if she performs with an entirely different set and switch up her routine more times than most, then I won't have to worry about her being 'dragged'." They just have to accept that the shade will come pouring in regardless. Damned if she does, damned if she doesn't.

She was fantastic last night. Her vocals and dancing were on point. Some of y'all are doing the absolutely most with the whining & bickering. I find it interesting how some folks in here, complaining about Bey's performance, are the same ones praising the most mediocre performances from the other pop girls.
