The vocal on "Pray You Catch Me" is underrated.

It's very understated, but emotional & beautiful.  She connected to it.

That's one song where she could have added a lot, but I appreciate that she didn't.  There's this hidden run behind "but I'm not at ease" on the 2nd verse. This ghostly eeeEEeEEeEeeEEEEEEEeeeEEEEEE!

Whew!

I remember during the 4 era, there was an interview she did where she said on that album, she wanted her vocals to sound more like her live vocals. Ever since then, her vocal approach has been different. I love how her voice is now. It works on songs like Superpower and Rather Die Young. But its kinda evident she's not as free or comfortable hitting higher note.

how is that evident when 4 was these with these screeching key changes on love on top

high notes are not ideal to consistently do on a tour situation
they are for special occasions

I think 2 things when it comes to Bey's current vocals
1st I think she knows SANGING isn't popular right now
It's all about this Migos' flow or whatever that's what gets radio play
and live I think she actually gets nervous to live up to her hype
I've noticed she kinda flubs some runs like on the a capella anthem
or Precious Lord and it's not like her voice cracks or goes off-key
she just kinda has slightly shaky spots where she doesn't land the runs perfectly
it sounds like lack of confidence

just my "opinionata"

which is really really surprising

Maybe she's not used to that kind of singing with her current voice? Idk. But I'm sure it's nerve wrecking when ur expected to be perfect

I agree 100%!

She had way more confidence when she was younger, but it's not surprising.  She wasnt the star she is now.

Now, the pressure is on to be flawless 24/7 in a social media climate.  I'm sure she's read all the critiques on her voice.  And she knows she's the biggest artist of her generation and that's daunting sometimes.

The way she used to go for runs, wails and belts with ease!  But she was young and hungry for respect.  Now, that she has it, she's scared to fumble.

Y'all get me

Also I think she was mad at the Stevie tribute
was that taped or live?
If it was live I'm sure it was fueled by proving that she deserved that AOTY
over Beck

Y'all dragged that Stevie Tribute and the "Take My Precious Hand" performance but she went off. I love when she sings like that. So powerful.

I do miss how light her voice was tho. And her just SINGING period.
nah idk

Everyone went up for the Stevie mess. That was everythg! Precious lord was a damn mess and she made up for it.
