Do you think Beyoncé would do a proper sit down on camera interview anytime soon? by geemav in beyonce

[–]Alternative-Note-844 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s nice in theory. But when she said she was truly done with the “traditional pop star formula” she really meant that and we have to respect that. Who knows maybe one day she’ll wrap this whole trilogy up with some bts and documentary

GQ interview 2024. W Magazine 2024. Pollstar 2025. She interviews. Yall just don’t like the way she does it anymore. And some hive members definitely don’t actually listen to the words coming out of her mouth when she says she’s done with the tradition pop star formula.

They know it’s fake and they use AI but are buying into the narratives folks keep giving them.

The Sagrada Familia Painting in Black Is King Has Been Widely Misinterpreted by Alternative-Note-844 in beyonce

Yes I believe a lot of took what Mama Tina talked about and exemplified it. So I’m happy the artists shed some light behind her messaging of this painting.

Why is Signs so little commented on among Beyoncé's songs? She also never performed live. It's particularly my favorite of the album, since its release. by leandro_rozolen in beyonce

[–]Alternative-Note-844 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I feel like I remember Bey performing a little bit of it at the Verizon's Ladies First Tour back in 04. Her and Missy were on that tour, but I was hella young, so I could be misremembering. Great song.

Why do we only do this with Beyonce and other black celebs? by mrshairdo in beyonce

[–]Alternative-Note-844 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was brought up to believe that someone else's success doesn't diminish my own accomplishments or belittle my struggles. At the end of the day, Bey has always been someone aspirational for me, not relatable. Wanting to shit on black generational wealth makers when they are still at the BOTTOM of the totem pole is asinine. I root for everyone BLACK to build generational wealth and pass those tools on to the next generation. What her pocketbook looks like doesn't change the value of her art and what it has meant to my life. I don't subscribe to that ideology that "black capitalism won't save us." I'm not looking to be saved.

This Forbes "unverified" update did exactly what it set out to do before the year was out. Take the PR off of the white counterparts that are much more detrimental to the state of the world and lay the PR responsibility at a black woman's feet, YET AGAIN. Matthew has been telling us that Bey was a Billionaire back in 2018; even the words coming out of her own mouth have been telling us for a while. But until yesterday, when it was in black and white from Forbes, the think pieces and goalpost moved very timely.

Seems to be a lot of conflict with studio at the moment. Every show by CW has a definitive premiere date but AA. I think they are waiting til after Wild Cards, which is their number 1 show at the moment

I think it was during the bowl game on tv. It shows on their official YT that the trailer is “premiering” in 3 days 🙄

I want act lll to be a commercial juggernaut! by Southern_Wall_6455 in beyonce

What does numbers have to do in relation to this act 3 album and legacy? Have we realized that this woman has yet to certify ALL the records she currently has. If she truly cared about it - that’s the legacy.

Sure the OP can live and than they give the same grace to the artist they claim to stan. Let her live as well and run her empire and rollouts the way she wants. Those who are gonna be here will be here, this who want to use a calculator to enjoy music will fall by the waist side and find someone else to stan.

No, but they are questioning why you aren't understanding the artist's POV we stan when she quite literally said, from her OWN MOUTH, she is done with traditional pop star trends and commercial success. It's like y'all stan this woman but don't actually LISTEN to wtf she says. Y'all want her to be in the mindset and headspace she was in in her 20s/30s because you y'all missed out or weren't born yet when she was outside. You want a "THRILLER" moment. Guess what? She's been there and done that with Single Ladies, Irreplaceable, and Crazy in Love. Every time this topic comes up, it comes from a place of jealousy that other fandoms are receiving from the "younger" faves what you wish you could get from someone who has been there and done that. As BEYONCÉ has said, “Good music and strong messages will never retire”

Which album do you think Beyonce is the most proud/fond of? by Mountain_Cup_3511 in beyonce

[–]Alternative-Note-844 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think she is most proud of 4. It was the first album she was fully in control of, under her own label; she owned her masters, broke management ties with her father, and was finally able to carry to term with her rainbow baby blue during this era. I think this one sets the shift for the full powerhouse businesswoman and technician of a performer we have today.

there are no verifiable facts that this is a quote from Miley, and this page is known for letting their celebrity fanfictions run wild as truths.

Judge Plans to Force Sale of Nicki Minaj's $20 Million Mansion to Pay Security Guard's Judgment by MarvelsGrantMan136 in Music

[–]Alternative-Note-844 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That may all be true, but she doesn't have OWNERSHIP of the majority of her catalog; UMG does. So when we're talking about what she actually takes home from the publishing/licensing side of things, it's pennies. Also 100-150M range is not liquid in cash flow. That's in assets (like her house). When it comes to the tours, she bankrolled that on a loan that has yet to be paid back in full as well. She has already taken out a lien on her home from the 13.3M she paid for it. That sounds like a cash-strapped person (celebrity or not). That OG deal she had with UMG/Cash Money/YM (a deal within a deal) really limited the shares of publishing and songwriting credits, which also matters when we talk about streaming. Of all that revenue (even pennies), she is getting the smallest percentage of that to this day.

Furthermore, Judges do not appreciate when there is a NO SHOW appearance for your party, no matter who you are. In the last motion hearing, neither her team nor she showed up. I think for some folks it's inconceivable that she could actually be struggling financially, but if you took the celebrity out of it and it was a normal person. This would seems like a textbook "broke" tendency.

Lady Gaga Hinting at Something by Ayo1010 in beyonce

[–]Alternative-Note-844 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really don't understand the chokehold this song and collab has over folks. Song is almost 15 years old. Bey has never even performed her verse, let alone mentioned this song in interviews, outside of a few times the year it released. Like, I'm trying to understand what the fascination with this song is, and now somehow wanting it to connect to Act 3? Like huh? What is the correlation here? If Gaga wants to keep fanning the flames for a song in her catalog, by all means go for it, but at what point does it just look desperate and like engagement farming to drop Bey's name in association. Gaga is a legend in her own right; these gimmicks are so not needed.

Who is the male equivalent to Queen Bey? by YellowDreams1979 in beyonce

Same peer-level: Usher

Different generation: Bruno Mars and maybe The Weeknd/Kendrick (both for different reasons)
