I disagree, the first time I heard it, I shook my head in disbelief. When I heard the End of Time leak, I though "Why isn't this the single?". 4 was handled all wrong. I truly believe Beyonce will be using all next year to correct the mishandling. This album is too good to give up on.

The only big smashes I see on the album are "End of Time" and "I Was Here", but even those I'm weary about. Those songs have to be supported by the right videos and the right performances. I want to say big budget, but she has proven that she can create something iconic with a couple hundred dollars.

It just has to be right.

I agree about those 2. I think End Of Time should've been the first single, i think it would've been huge and set the era up nicely. I just hope it gets released at some point

No one complained about the music she put out.
I complained about the lack of promotion.

Read what I said again. I didn't say you were complaining about the music. You're clearly in your feelings over how you think the music should be charting & selling when it's not like the music was intended to be 4x platinum digital smashes in the first damn place.

It is November 12th. If December 31st comes and this is still true, fine. But, for now, shut up. Don't count her out yet. Party took off and Countdown is starting to take off.

I thought you were banned. Let's get this unbanning reversed promptly.

You can't read either. I said WOULD. Now shut up and leave the quote link next to my posts the **** alone.

That unfaithful THIEF is never coming back.

He hasn't really been pro-active in that woman's career since the tail-end of B'Day. IDK why y'all keep repeating that lie that his involvement is gonna bring back what you thought was the perfect, good ole days.

That's the last thing on my mind it's because bey has not push her self like she always does this started after the billboard awards we really did not get that much promo and then 4 leaked it really mess it up so since then it's been a problem but I'm just wanna start over with this era but I cant so

Lay Up Under Me is exactly what Thats How You Like It was with DIL...Its literally the only track I just cant with...its not that its bad...i just dont like it smh


As far as this era, if she's happy with it then so am I...but if I were to plan the era better...

Run The World would've been used like Drake did Marvin's Room. A promo single and it and Schoolin Life should've switched places on the album. Official release to radio and itunes after the leak and the video a week after. The performances on Oprah, Billboard and Xfactor would've raised awareness and kept it charting well.

First Single should've been Countdown. Fallon-like performances that are low-intensity in the places she did BTINH. Video around the album release week. Classic Beyonce track that bumps hard. The concept is perfect for a big event such as her album release.

1+1 still as a promo single. With the same performances and to give a different look at the album's direction.

Second Single BTINH. Song doesnt need much promo to be a hit. But right now she'd be able to perform it during her pregnancy.

Third Single. Love on Top Still perform at the VMAs. The same way she did it but with a radio release.

Party (urban and rhythmic). Then Release its video and Love on Top's the same way she did.

Fourth Single I Was Here. Release it WW with a montage type video. People eat that up around the holidays. Grammys Performance. Drag it out til March.

Release Dance 4 You to Urban and Urban AC. Easy hit. Allow it to marinate til she recovers from the child birth.

Fifth Single End of Time. Late April Release. Easy smash. Undoubtebly.

Sixth Single I Care. Six Single Start Over.

If start over doesnt get picked up on urban release I Miss You or Rather Die Young.

Seventh Single Schoolin Life. Video for the fans. End era...even if no song reaches Top 5 or number one it'll still be a good era...i think we all know how great the album is but the messy handling doesnt let the public know how great it is

[fineandbambi]

How many times do people need to go over what Beyonce should have done?

[caerbayn]

I wish Bey would stop ANY type of promo and release no more singles just so some of y'all could implode.
