i feel the same about all of Beyonce's music really....i can tolerate even the least favorites...
the only song that i can't is 7/11...definitely the worst song of her career. it topped Check On It for me...b/c even on COI...i still like all the adlibs. but 7/11 is nonsensical all around. the video gives it novelty. even songs i didnt care for in the beginning eventually grew on me...but that one still hasn't. only 2 plays & those were the day it came out.
*confession* i turned to a different station every time i heard it come on the radio.....the hate was real
i didnt like "formation" either b/c it seemed like the same...but its grown on me tremendously...just more catchier song & meatier.

The good sis got some time to take pictures with construction workers but I guess uploading the album on Spotify/AM and uploading the videos on YouTube is just tew much for her.

Same.. well kinda? There are some songs that I have to be in a certain mood to enjoy them. But most of the time I kinda just pretend that they don't exist.

True, it would only be a Exclusive on Blue Ivy's phone and a TIDAL exclusive in 2017

I was thinking the same just the other day. Freedom out of all the songs being snubbed visually is an End of Time-sized injustice...
I'd love it if she was gonna do something similar to the tour performance.

Unfortunately, you are incorrect.
I would also love to see a Freedom video! It got so snubbed in the film

Start Over >>> any ballad on IASF (sans Halo + IAWAB), I Was Here, Pretty Hurts, Sandcastles

The fact that you have to compare it to these ballads  the bar is so low.
Also are you telling me that Start Over is better than Disappear, Smash Into You and That's Why You're Beautiful?
PS: fun fact about Start Over. When Beyoncé finished recording it, everyone in the studio said "Start over" and she was like "yeah that's a great title, let me change the song a little to get writing credits." Then everyone was like "no, Start over" and she was "yes yes, I got it" and she named the song Start Over.
Dummy couldn't tell everyone was asking her to start over because the song is so bad :deadabanana3:

I was trying to say that it doesn't deserve to be grouped with or ranked among her weaker ballads.  It's no DIL 2, Resentment, 1+1, I Care, I Miss You or All Night, but it's at least just as good as Rather Die Young, Jealous, Heaven, (which are all thoroughly enjoyable and well-made songs and better than the IASF ones you've mentioned  ).

This is 100% accurate, the song peaks in its first 20 seconds

if LEM was available on all streaming sites...i dont think it would be showing the longevity & consistency it is on itunes. i see tweets everyday from people saying they gave in & bought the album on Itunes...they were tired of waiting for it to show up other places.
for every person who claims they wont buy without hearing...there are 3x the amount that would stream all day with no incentive to ever buy.

Wait @Superpower are integers allowed to be used in our scores? If so I might resend you mine.  Unless that would **** up a bitch, then I'll just forget it.

That I made a difference, and this world will see
I was here
I lived, I loved

I just want them to know
That I gave my all, did my best
Brought someone some happiness
Left this world a little better just because
I was here
I was here
I lived, I loved
I was here
I did, I've done everything that I wanted
And it was more than I thought it would be

I was here
I lived (I lived), I loved (I loved)
I was here (oh)
I did, I've done
I was here

You can count on beysic lyrics on the only song from her past three albums that she didn't write on.
But I Was Here >>> wow such an amazing anthem. Start Over is great too, but I think I've concluded that it's the worst song on 4lop.

Yeah it wouldn't I agree. But still.. I wish it was available for streaming and had singles released to VEVO at least. This is the damn streaming era. She had over 500m YT streams from Jan 2016-Mar 2016 alone... And was the #3 WW (#1 US) most streamed on Spotify in 2015, a year she released absolutely no new music. Just imagine what those numbers would all be NOW. From her generation, she has the most demand and appeal to this generation. It just makes me ugh ddsakhfl
