I'm just glad the days of waiting will allow for some healing of my follicles, before they are snatched again. I know after Saturday, I'll be needing to adjust a wig over my bald head till some new growth appears.

The BEST thing would be :

When the last scene of Lemonade is over, before the credits, there's "ALBUM ON ITUNES NOW".

Now THIS would be MAAAAAAAAAAASSSSIVE

I wouldn't mind this but if she's putting forth this big and important message I think it's a bit tacky for the finale of the entire thing to be "buy my album".

[fabilicious]

Does it premiere the same time like the trailer did? I don't want to be up the whole night

[V$.]

Friday.

I think it features music videos or at least songs.. If you look at her mouth you can definitely tell she's singing in some of the scenes

How is it tacky, when it is her art? If people loved what they saw, informing them that they can now purchase the experience for themselves, is intelligent and totally appropriate. It is going to go up for sale eventually anyway. I can see how "Buy my album", could be a turn-off. "Album/FILM now available on iTunes and streaming exclusively on TIDAL", not so much.

It's probably one long-form video comprising of many songs.

Was that Blue in the crib in the beginning? Do you think this will mix in some documentary style footage?

I worded it like that because that's essentially what she's doing by saying "now available on iTunes."

If it said, FREE ON ITUNES that's a different thing.

But it is a bit tacky to create this beautiful piece of work and then prompt people to buy it right after. If it's a beautiful piece of work it'll just be available and people will buy it.

Imagine going to a movie and the end scene happens, it's an amazing movie, emotional, everything you wanted. And then it says:

"Now available on Blu-Ray DVD
amazon.com"

It's like? Can you give me a minute to breathe? It's just the wrong sentiment I think. I'd be here for it. I'd want to own it, but there are better ways and I think Beyoncé knows this too (which is why Formation is still free).

Yes, that is what she would be essentially saying, but it doesn't seem so forced and "tacky".

At the end of the day it is a musical project. It is meant to sell. It isn't being shown in movie theater and since it's being shown on TV, it's more immediate. There won't be a long wait of months for the project to be in our hands, in comparison to a film released in theaters. If they were to inform everyone of it being released after it was over, it's basically her "surprise release" element for this era. I wouldn't find the musical film any less impactful or artistic at all. That's just me though.

Well, we won't know until Saturday.

Yes. 3-4 minutes after the trailer's airing time.

Either way I'm here for it.
That would be amazing for her to do that, to basically roll out her album through this film.

But without knowing what the content is about, and assuming it's about race issues, to have all that and put questions out there for the audience to think about and inspire people and then the next step she assigns you is to buy the album... then that to me, is a bit off track. The last thought of an inspiring film should be what the film is trying to inspire you to do.

I wonder how many white people she's gonna kill

Oh yes, I agree wholeheartedly. That's why I think they will reveal it's available (if they do it that way), after when the credits are rolling. It would be a little off-putting to have it pop up before the credits rolled. Maybe even after they are completely done. They know the Hive is thirsty for the album. Just to play with us, one last time.

Or she may say nothing and just assume people will go lurk for it, discovering it has been released.

Does anybody have any theories for what 'Lemonade' could possibly mean?

Probably inspired by that quote, "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade."

I hope its just a music video like 5-10 mins
