Beyoncé has been planning this tour since the Super Bowl. I don't think she really cares anymore about the typical album-tour release schedule like a lot of artists. Similar to Rihanna. She goes on tour and releases her album whenever and whatever way she wants. This album is supposedly her least commercial effort yet, and she supposedly stopped performing her most popular songs on her most recent tour. She really isn't playing the game anymore.

Ive been listening to this album on heavy rotation in recent weeks and its REALLY good. Her strongest effort yet and better than her last. I especially love Don't Hurt Yourself

Yeah, I haven't been able to stop playing it either. Hold Up, Don't Hurt Yourself, Sorry, 6 Inch, Daddy Lessons, Freedom, All Night and Formation are just amazing. I like Pray You Catch Me, Love Drought, Sandcastles and Forward just a tad less (consider them 2nd tier) but still love them as well. It's on repeat all the time. 

I can't believe I forgot to post this but I went to her show on May 3rd. I had already bought floor seats but ended up getting upgraded to 10th row (!!!). The show was INCREDIBLE!! It poured rain and I didn't even care. Got suspended for an hour in the middle because of lightening but the Queen waited and came back out for us. Omg it was so good. 

Yes. Me & my friends caved & got tickets to her Rose Bowl show. Formation is too good and I need to see it live.

Biiiiiiiiitch!!... I ended up not going to this show & gave my ticket to someone else last week bc of work. But then I got another ticket for her Sept 14th show at Dodger stadium. UGH my bank account was cleared along with my schedule. I WILL. NAWT. MISS IT THIS TIME!! LMAO

Omg you guys I went yesterday night! The show is exceptional! I hope they make a Blu-Ray DVD of the entire experience. Breathtaking!

Beyoncé's performance with The Dixie Chicks was sooo good! Natalie Maines had vowed never to return to the CMA's but changed her mind after she got the call from Beyoncé. So glad she changed her mind, or we would've missed out on this!

 

 

This is really about Solange but Beyoncé did conduct the interview. I posted this mainly because there is a reference to Syreeta Wright, which I think @amybrickwallace would appreciate.

" As you said, I have always loved Minnie Riperton, and I loved Syreeta Wright and really identified with a few of her songs that she and Stevie Wonder did. She was saying some really tough [!@#$%^&*], but the tone of her voice was so sweet that you could actually hear her more clearly. I wanted to find a happy medium, feeling like I was being direct and clear, but also knowing that this was a conversation that I was very much in control of—able to have that moment, to exist in it, to live in it and ponder it, not to yell and scream and fight my way through it—I was doing enough of that in my life, so I wanted to make a clear distinction of me controlling that narrative. "

 

6 mos preggers with twins!  

I’m always so sad and forget she doesn’t have that many fans here bc I came here expecting to see the thread bumped and popping after her SENSATIONAL headlining (and historic) performance at Coachella last night. BEYCHELLA! She reinvented the whole idea of the concert experience (which was and still is dry af) and went above and beyond like always. 

 

The HBCU vibe and band she imbued into the show and just the sheer blackness of it all was EVERYTHING !

 

GREATEST ENTERTAINER OF OUR TIME AND PERHAPS EVER ! Who could top her? I’ll wait. LMAO

Pretty much no one posts here in recent years, although that is probably for the best in this case, as you likely would have seen some racist commentary in the days when more did come here.

I'm so so soo sad to read this! It's true 😰

From what little I saw of it...I liked. But I like Queen Bey. But Kelly was giving me the fierceness...of course from what little I saw so far.

 

I'm surprised Eric hasn't said a thing.

The people who were desperate to make fun of Michelle Williams yet again annoyed me. If you have to create some kind of meme for attention then it is not valid. 

Beyoncé and Jay Z just released a surprise collaboration album.
