Sor just curious

Well is it? :ohwow:
well i think she proved that she wasnt "scared" last era with the surprise release
this time we knew it was coming
so she proved shes not scared to warn the gorls when her new mess is dropping
She proved why we call her the fucking QUEENS.

you'd have to expound on what you mean by that
"Prove" in terms of people taking her seriously as the artist she clearly is? Well, i hope so. some of the songs are incredible but i dont think Ballads are a strong point, like ... at all. Really just wanted even more great SONGS. Like 3-4 more and I'd be a happy fan
Im more than happy with the visuals and the few songs i like, but im slightly disappointed in the 12 track rollout

Yeah, Like she been in the game for 20 years just got another #1 album and is still pushing over 400k 1st week and is looking to be more critically acclaimed than Self Titled.
Like can the gorl just release albums from now on without all the damns pressure?
I feel like she kinda earned it.
im so proud of her.
:stressed:
i think fans put more pressure on shit than anything. some of these artists truly dont give a shit about the #'s anymore but
fans swear they do :dead: I bet Bey is at peace and pretty damn satisfied and would be either way
send this to radio!! wtf!? dont understand!

This is true
Beyonce seems like she's been in a different space since her last album. There's sincerity. She's pretty much doing what the fuck she wants and I love it. :feelinmyself:

I don't think she has anything left to prove, but I hope her next album is just all about music where she doesn't rely so heavily on visuals. Just really great songs and singing.

I've never used a bey album in it's entirety. She makes good Pop music and performs better than anyone on the planet, that's where it stops for me. So this album did nothing to change that. I am, however, loving the pro-Black tea she's giving though, more prominent Black artist need to follow suit.

:tistheseas:
beyonce hasn't had to prove herself since album 3. dc was a great launching pad, but as a solo act she had to at least have 3 successful errors to be upper echelon. especially when you look at the artists that were out in those first 3 errors. now she's already in veteran/legend status. she's not a young girl. she is what janet was around 2001 & 2004 now. the difference is she's making better moves to keep her light shinning in this climate to have a lasting career and admiration like other legends that are still praised to this day.

that would be nice just because I'd love her to put out great visuals (thats always been her issue)
but im not concerned with her album being taken seriously at all lol not one bit. Brandy, musically >
and now they din' fucked up and gave her full control? oh its time for some mess and awards
Sor hehe
I didn't mean YOUR musical expectations from her. She kinda already gets that from the countless Grams and critical acclaim. :-P
I'm talking more
will her next album go #1? is she over? did (insert name) replace her? will she sell as much?
:ohwow:
I don't think she cares. n
Pretty evident.

Boy, yes! :plzstop: :plzstop:
And tbh, while I appreciate her stepping out of her comfort zone and doing something different from what she usually does, I'm not really here for this kind of music from her.
I hope her next is a 'return to roots' type thing.
tbh I need club bangers and weave swanging back. I cannot stand Beyonc? ballads, or Beyonc? pop song, sans a few exceptions like the 4 ballads, and "Sweet Dream", her LANE is B'Day, "Flawless" and fckn "Naughty Gorl".
what exactly are her roots ?
It isnt solely Lemme Dance! "Dangerously in Love" album def' says wassup.
We all know she has a huge following but tbh I'm not all impressed with this album I like about 4 songs give or take but I do appreciate her use of visuals tho.
She can definitely keep the ballads. I think that's the main reason I don't completely use
Sandcastles is just not it. The phrasing/annunciation, whatever you wanna Call it... I just can't
She's 34, A mother and wife.
That's why the other gorls are flopping because they don't know how to grow up and act their age.

they are honestly DISGUSTING. The bitch cannot fckn emote on a slow ballad... I don't know why, but it sounds dry and stale, and she has no soul...
This is why I will always need my Kelly Price, Jazmine, Brandy's... Bey is not a Jack of all trades.

Im kinda snickering. For obvious reasons.
It was alright. Not an album I'd play repeatedly with the exception of three or four songs I liked.
Normally I would debate some of the things that are being said in here
But Rolling Stone kinda just gave the album 5/5 so don't really care hehe

it would've been great had she just sung the damn song the way she actually can :plzstop:
i know she was trying something gritty for content, but i hate the approach. i like the actual song though.

And see this why I think non-stans luv "Sorry" so much. It's closes to the Bey they like/prefer.
I couldn't have ever saw her doing a song like Don't Hurt Yourself a decade ago. As a stan, I needed a song like that. Some evidence of growth and willingness to try different things.
You wanna pop your booch, revisit B'God...
I kinda want a Rock album from ha!

she deserves 5/5. It's not some shitty piece of work lol I think ur misunderstanding some of the comments
There's certain things I'll just never use coming from her but that's what artistry is all about. Folks aren't gonna love every aspect about your work and what you choose to share, but that doesn't take away from what she did and the level she's doing it at. I can definitey appreciate the work ethic, creativity, quality visuals and all
until she releases an album without the visuals to distract
she'll still have to prove herself
she has not released not one masterpiece yet

y'all take statements too deep and way off...
I have to say I wouldn't have enjoyed the album as much if the visuals weren't there to help. If I heard that album, just the songs alone... It would have been a different experience.
Music videos are needed, but let's not act like she doesn't use the visuals as a crutch, out the gate.
shes def' not usin her visuals as a crutch...shes tellin' a story & stuff but yeah..

fine.
but the album is lackluster.
the visuals are better.
IMO the visuals don't overshadow the music, they compliment it.
Music and Visuals go hand and hand'
What exactly are you trying to say,
All the gorls make music videos Bey just goes the extra miles
More artists should try giving their fans more.
i don't know
i just feel dissatisfied.
I'm thinking i have to be a stan to get the hype over the album itself.
sorry and hold up slay
but I've played them so much now, i wonder if they'll last past summer.
