Sorry, but if you release an album, you have to at least try to sell it...

It's doing amazingly well for the minimal promo it got, but it needs another push. But that's not even why I want her to perform at the Brits (which is definitely not asking too much). I love to watch her and so do you.

This isn't the same Beyonce from 10 years ago. She is not stressed about selling records any more which is why she took the huge gamble she did & didn't have a promo schedule to follow for the 1st era of her career. she said last yr that she has started becoming more selective w/ promo...so she is not gonna be running around everywhere anymore. the fans need to get over it & focus on the music.

I don't just get this no promo approach. She has been off the tour since December. A few selected promo appearances here or there won't hurt. Frankly, with her lipping at the Grammy and not doing any promo, am starting to feel she's believing in her own hype. That poster who was talking about Jays influence on her was right.

She definitely believes in her own hype,it was cute at first but not anymore because RN in the singles department everyone is slaying her in terms of sales and on the album department people are starting to catch up with her,everything is going downhill I'm not a fan of her performing in every Tom,dick and mariah show,but a little promo won't hurt her.
Plus I totally agree with you,Jay Z is definitely influencing her.

According to her she's the no 1 chic .This statement contradicts the view that she doesn't care about sales.In order for her to be the no 1 chic she has to slay in every department,and to do that she needs effective promo.I'm not saying she's not slaying ATM,but it could be better with a little promo.

Sorry I don't agree and I don't agree with her on becoming selective with promo. That's good if you want to alienate people, but I doubt that's what she's going for.

Plenty of artists in their 30's promote their work, it hasn't nothing to do with age or how long you've been in the business. Artists go on a promo tour, not just to sell their music but also because they're proud of their work. It's fun for the fans and probably really hectic for the artist, but that's their job.

Maybe she should have pushed back the tour, so she could have done the Brits without stressing about it. But I guess...

I won't complain if there's selective promo. She's not even doing that. Her performances are the reason I got into her the first place. I don't see anything wrong with a fan wanting to see their fave perform. There's no reason why she shouldn't perform at the brits award when her tour starts the next day. No one is asking for an Iasf promo plan.

Didn't Solange host the event? Maybe they wanted some professional pics. I bet these are just outtakes.

You're right,she probably didn't care to do promo...because her and the label obviously thought xo would be this global smash that would sell the album..and the way she released the singles proved she wanted an IASF success again..

what rock are u under? beyonce is not slaying? have u not been present these last 2 months? Beyonce is the definition of slaying...who else has the top selling female album and tour right now? she has a song that just went #2 with record spins on urban radio. U r delusional & sound like a hater to say Bey is not slaying...and she's 17 yrs into her career doing this.

WAIT is it confirmed that she's not doing the Brits?

She just did the Grammy's, there's no spot bigger than that right now. Thats selective promo.

And she has yet to have a televised performance of 1 of those songs & waited to do DrIL...unlike her performing SL & IIWAB on several shows. so if she wanted IASF success...she is not doing much to act like it when she knows what it takes.

Not really, how many people watch the Grammy's outside of the United States. The brits award is perfect for Europe where she's currently not slaying.

Then why release 2 different sounding singles to 2 different formats?her and the label & all of us was sure that xo was going to smash..

Beyoncé said it herself...


"I still have to work on my time management, because I have great opportunities and it's really hard saying no.The Super Bowl's one thing, but after that, I'll be very selective. What I love is performing and making the album. I don't really have to do anything that I don't want to do anymore. And that feels damn good."

Did you read my last sentence?and I don't care how many years she has spent in the industry,she is one of the most talented girls out there and deserves more success than the one she has RN.I'm not her for Bey sharing the spotlight in 2014 with any lessor!.Every one seems to be relaxed because she has no competition,I bet when serious competition shows up everyone will be singing a different tune.
