Seeing Beyoncé perform in her hometown with her daughter brought me to tears. That might sound dumb to some people but I’m literally watching my idol at GOD MODE!

Kenya wherever you are I need you to talk about Zendaya engagement because it’s making them be nasty towards baby mamas again all the misogynoir folk talkin bout “she got a ring before a baby” it’s getting weird honestly and I know you would have a lot to say about it

very true, but to kenya’s point, I think Beyoncé pulled that out of him. I’ve never seen a post malone performance that made me believe in his talent like beyonce bowl🤷🏾♀️ he just had so much charisma and the chemistry was so good I wanted to listen to more of his music. But with shaboozey I actually like his music and think that he’s very talented but he isn’t making the most of his performances. His SNL performance not good in my opinion, nor was his CMA, and this didn’t hit the mark either. shaboozey just has so much momentum and I want him to keep growing

No I think it’s just bc people don’t like to sit with perfection of others and not themselves. So they like mediocre things bc they can find something to hate ab it…they can be like “she can sing but she can’t dance” and still like their faves bc it makes them comfortable with trier own mediocrity. They can’t do that with Beyoncé and it makes them uncomfortable and they start bringing up conspiracy theories lol.

Re: mediocrity, people’s extreme aversion to ‘hustle culture’ these days is a cause of that. Because when Law Roach was talking about how he lives breathes sleeps his job, people were up in arms because that’s not healthy yadda yadda… And it may not be. But that’s how you get Beyoncé. Beyoncé wouldn’t be Yonce without putting herself through the wringer since day 1, without being so locked in, without being - as she said in her GQ interview - the hardest working person she knew. You can’t achieve greatness at that level unless you live and breathe it.

kenya you really hit the nail on the head with this one. as a musician, it’s so mortifying to me to imagine the girls going out and performing off two rehearsals like. i get dizzy if i’m called in for a gig last minute lmao so it’s mind boggling to me that anyone would go out to any stage viewed by thousands and think doing it only a couple times before performing would ever be good enough. reminds me of when you pointed out that alicia keyz fucking up her very first note at the super bowl means she never hit that note in any rehearsal. that is exactly true. you can’t get something you never had. and tbh that IS a harsh reality but it’s necessary to digest in order to get better. having a natural talent is not enough, you have to nurture that talent as well

Dani
2025-01-02 18:01:02 +0000 UTC
Beyoncé is simply irresistible to everyone including people who claim they “don’t like her”. She is the standard for how performers should be on stage. Not only does she pay attention to vocal detail, she pays attention to stage production, lighting, set design, background music and dancers, EVERYTHING. And we eat it up every single time!! She’s “overrated, over the top, etc. etc.” atp she should be.

That Riiverdance/ Spaghetti section literally tore my wig off it was SOOOO GOOD. also the cat walk she was doing and the way the girls were behind her was definitely a reference to the MOVE section from the Renaissance tour.

I was so excited to see Shaboozey. I screamed when i saw him cause I knew what time it was lol. I could tell he was a ball of nerves. So animated and stiff at the same time. Trying to remember all his steps while making sure to put on a show. Beyonce had to put her hand on his shoulder to calm him down. I felt he was vindicated after the CMA snub. Like Beyonce is sooooo generous. She made sure to bring him down south after those bastards tried to undermine his success. Baby, it don't matter what them other folks say, when you've been touch by Beyonce (she literally touch him!), given her stamp of approval, all that other shit is hater mumbles. Naija no dey carry last!!

I think what Taylor and Beyoncé have in common is they both want 'IT'. Taylor will be satisfied with the records she'll break and she- from the beginning has said it's a goal. Break records, be number 1 for however many months, stuff like that. She's praised for her pen game from time to time, that's enough for her.
Beyoncé wants to leave a mark and has said this since the beginning. The main way she's chosen to leave the mark is what you said, she is the greatest performer. It's one of the reasons why I don't agree with some hive saying she should stop submitting to the grammys. She wants the recognition, she wants to be remembered.
I know this isn't the topic of the vid but real quick I do think that's why the fandoms beef with each other so much lol they think the other artist is getting in the way of their fav. But Taylor will be satisfied with a 2 billion tour, whereas Beyoncé will be satisfied with a tour people use as a reference and remember real moments from. "everybody on mute" the fashion, the dancers, the message (uncle Johnny)

I also quit twitter recently and came back for Beyonce bowl and had fun for two secs but felt no desire to stay lol it's been so easy to leave since the platform's been shit for ages, even before Elon took over it was stale and nothing besides fuel for useless anger all day. I sometimes miss it but then remember how much of a nothingness state it's become.

Something about bey i always loved (i love art direction and creative direction) is she always put 100% into what she does. There’s no doubt that she is committed to a particular thing she does. It’s insane. And imo it’s why she has been so relevant still l. Think 4, an album that wasn’t edm heavy like everyone was at that time but she stood ten toes down for 4 whether its in the studio or its videos or the era performances. Firing on all cylinders when people who debuted before and after her deadass didn’t put as much effort into their work. Which is why she will be remembered. That woman isn’t afraid of what she has put out into the world.

Wait to add more to Haikyuu— there is an arc in the anime where MC is reduced to being a “ballboy” (long story) & a lot of people online notoriously hate that part of the show because of how cringe & humiliating it is, but without that part, he wouldn’t have been able to become a better volleyball player & crossed HUGE milestones. It feels so earned & rewarding so yes— rehearsal & practice is everything no matter how cringey it is. It is necessary & part of leveling up
Reyhan
2024-12-31 20:46:17 +0000 UTC
Sometimes I wanna talk about art, analysis, deep dive, artists intentions with real life people but I find most conversations I have so disappointing because it’s always surface level. I can never scratch that itch!! Because when I say surface level they just accept anything & I feel insane. You just get it Kenya, as one consumer who cares to another. 2025 we filter out the pickle juice pleaseeeee
Reyhan
2024-12-31 20:35:23 +0000 UTC
The rehearsal section is soooo REAL. Beyoncé has the HUNGER. She has the DRIVE. If you’re ever interested in anime, there is a volleyball anime called Haikyuu this is one of my favorite shows EVER because while I am not miss athlete, it is so inspiring to watch because the protagonist of the show starts of not being the best at volleyball but he constantly practices & never gives up. Hinata, the MC, goes through all the embarrassing stuff, the losses, but he RISES & becomes a formidable volleyball player always wanting to improve because he has that insane hunger & love for the sport until he becomes GREAT. Obviously the anime is focused on sports but this goes for any profession for anyone who strives to be— not just the best— but just simply being better.
There are just some people who cannot fathom Beyoncé’s willingness & care for her art because unless you have it, you don’t get it. I really recommend this anime because it’s one of my favorite character growths as well as all the other players on the team & opposing teams.

I am old enough to remember MJ in the 90s. I remember the album reveal and his show. I remember being a toddler and thinking he is a superhero. Beyonce gives that. When I think popSTAR, I think the whole package. My fav and theirs are simply not the same.

That’s tea on Taylor Swift. It’s why she wouldn’t be in my top ten list. I just sit back and think when everything is said and done what do you have really? I am just thinking who is gonna care 40 years from now? Beyoncé is literally thinking about that. That is part of everything she does. Too many of these new girlies only think about what is going on right now. Meanwhile Beyoncé is thinking 40 to 50 years into the future.
