a) She's more urban now than ever before. If you hope for pop songs in the vain of IASF, you will most likely get disappointed.
b) She won't promote. If you hope for several interviews, several TV performances, etc, you will most likely get disappointed.
c) She's going to be very political and blunt on the album. If you don't like that, you will most likely get disappointed.
d) The album will be on Tidal, free, or even both. If you hate the idea of it, you will most likely get disappointed.

Basically.

something I noticed is that yonceprediction tweeted weeks ago that "beyonce is going to launch the career of a huge star"
and today TBHT tweeted "Kayla Pittman is a star. PERIOD. I've been sitting on this so long." It just makes me wonder if there really is a connection between the two accounts.

aint no negativity. You are turning it into that by trying to basically say we can't state our opinions.

Ugh. This is what I said the other day. I don't care about commercial success. I love the fact that she's becoming an artist. However, there's a difference between appreciating art and actually enjoying the art. I have no doubt I'll love her era visually, but if the songs sound like 7/11 and Formation, I can't say I'll enjoy the music. I'll be able to appreciate the effort and her vision though.

Beyoncé is a legend at this point. She is. There's absolutely no denying it. Her cultural impact is beyond our comprehension at this time, but we'll look back at her career in the years to come and come to recognise the extent of her music and art on the lives of millions. That's the positive.
Looking back, it's clear that she was bored. So she consciously made a concerted effort to become more of an artist. You know, actually make art. That's what excites her now. She's not making music for the charts, not producing music just to be popular, and certainly not making music for the fame to the extent that she used to. Making art that has cultural impact is where she derives her long-aspired gratification. We have to commend her for that. She's become an artist - in the real sense of the word, before our very eyes.

I think her 2013 Pepsi Mirrors commercial is one of her best tbh! Along with the heavenly H&M commercial of course.

I don't know. Maybe they just don't like the song or the route she's supposedly taking. Music is subjective after all.

I didn't say anything about Formation  but it's quite telling when some of you complain about a particular genre/sub-genre, especially some of you European fans (we know you all love your pop bops and soulful white singers). Besides, it's already been stated that Formation doesn't represent the album's entire sound, yet some of you are coming at her neck over speculation.
And if it's not the commercial success that has some people worried, then why have I already seen comments and complaints about not wanting the album to be a Tidal exclusive, not wanting her to do anything that'll ruin her number-one album streak, wanting her to release and promote a single, etc.? If you knew the shoe wasn't your size, why did you attempt to put it on? I was just making a general statement about the constant complaints that have been in this base for months. Whatever hurt-feelings y'all have been holding onto since last Fall, let it go.

I suppose that's subjective though. I'm sure you disagree. |
How dare you come for Bey's weight when you stan for Adele?plus her superbowl perfomance was way better than Adele's awful "comeback" Grammy performance,Adele ****ed up big time,but i don't see you whining about that,maybe it's because she's sucessful?I don't get how you can defend all Adel's screw ups,but still come at Bey who is almost so perfect?Whenever it comes to Adele you are always so positive,but with Bey the story is different.

Anyway, this is my new ranking of her albums..
BEYONCÉ > B'Day > 4 > Dangerously in Love > I Am
Sasha fell again, and will probably fall again when B6 is released.

Beyoncé stated pretty clear on her documentary she wasn't here to release quick little hits. And she's only experimented doing pop in I Am...Sasha Fierce and guess what, that album isn't on par with her other releases.
