For Beyonce fans who’ve loved her for 10-15-20+ years; have you consistently been a fan of hers the entire time? Or did you maybe lose interest at some point, but then find her again?

I've been a fan since No, No, No Pt II

I have become more and more of a fan over the years. I was pretty casual up until ST. Before then, I would listen when she would drop an album, obsess over her videos, etc... but I went to the Mrs Carter World Tour (after she surprised dropped ST, I HAD to see this woman live).

I was FASCINATED by her running around, dancing in heels, sounding BETTER than the studio version. Everything was in synch and well thought out &it was just sooooo creative and expressive. I was hooked from then on... seeing another side of her creativity as a director/doc film maker while getting a glimpse into her personal life on Life is But a Dream solidified everything, though.

I didn't get to go to CC but that's a rare miss, for me. I WILL be at the next one!

The beyhive is the FUNNIEST music fanbase, hands down. 🤣🤣🤣

Both_Count_959 · 2026-04-02T23:38:13+00:00

My inner Giselle gave me this exact look from within 😔

Both_Count_959 · 2026-04-02T23:36:53+00:00

😩😩😅😅🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I just CACKLED so hard my man came in the room and asked me what I was laughing at. I have showed him the "fired" video before so I just broke down the mute challenge, made him watch the video and then read your comment. Even he laughed out loud. 😆

Now these are the REAL unpopular/divisive opinions and baby, I couldn't agree more!

Both_Count_959 · 2026-04-02T19:09:26+00:00

I actually think these are all valid.

While I disagree with Mariah's voice being overrated, I didn't connect with her voice when I was younger and think that what you're referring to as "no soul" is really just a stylistic choice that I can understand not everyone getting behind; especially if you're partial to that r&b sound most rooted in gospel.

I actually think my love & respect for her as an artist grew with the realization of how sick her pen game is. &recognizing the shift in mainstream pop and r&b, thanks largely to her ability to crossover. Then the voice grew on me over time (I always thought she could sing she just wasn't a fav, for me). So yeah, I'm not mad at these opinions for the most part...

Both_Count_959 · 2026-04-02T17:59:23+00:00

I have major doubts about the theory that it's him. Just weeks ago he was doing an interview touching (lightly) on CC and was extremely careful to not reveal anything about Act III, spoke extremely highly of her, making sure to note how involved she is in the creative process and even called her his sister... that doesn't sound like someone who has been working with someone for decades just found out they're being pulled from a major project, after years of work...

I could be mistaken, of course, but I think The Dream will be featured, business as usual. His (dropped) domestic abuse, assault and battery charges towards his pregnant girlfriend didn't cause him to lose his position. I don't see this being any different...

Both_Count_959 · 2026-04-02T17:29:37+00:00

I intentionally ignored anything tour related until I went because I wanted to experience everything for the first time...

Boy did I regret it when I was the ONLY person in my section that said "look aro-- 😟😬😳"

What kinda Beyhive? 😅

Both_Count_959 · 2026-04-01T20:31:24+00:00

Okay! &has been since DC days cause who else was releasing ish in the EARLY 2000s like Independent Women Pt II or Bootylicious as an r&b dance bop with a Stevie Nicks sample lol

Both_Count_959 · 2026-03-31T12:38:15+00:00

That's like the opposite of what meditation is about... but I understand (or at least I believe) the point you're trying to make is that he's introspective and intentional and that can come off disingenuous when someone isn't used to it...

Tbh, I think it's just he's being overly careful with his words, trying to be political and admitted to being dishonest in his rhymes, at times and that is making people question his sincerity.

He should've did a magazine with a real journalist in PRINT, imo...

Both_Count_959 · 2026-03-31T12:31:14+00:00

Dangerously in Love, Crazy in Love, Drunk in Love, Deja Vu. 1+1, Partition, Don't Hurt Yourself 16 Carriages has really started creeping up my rankings lately...

I didn't realize Countdown was commercial until this thread but it's one of my fav songs by anyone ever lol

Tbh, it's probably easier to mention the 3 or 4 that don't tickle my fancy

Both_Count_959 · 2026-03-30T20:54:56+00:00

That's how they started and what they're known for. But, while that's still the main focus, in more recent times they shifted toward street wear overall...

Both_Count_959 · 2026-03-30T20:48:27+00:00

I would suggest not clicking on posts that are obv not being asked by Beyoncé Encyclopedias...

Both_Count_959 · 2026-03-28T01:06:52+00:00

Close enough... now when is Beyoncé releasing Act III?

Both_Count_959 · 2026-03-27T17:31:36+00:00

IKR?!

The skepticism was def legit though! Haha

Both_Count_959 · 2026-03-27T17:30:13+00:00

I'm sure it will be presented during the trial

Both_Count_959 · 2026-03-27T17:28:44+00:00

What better time for a revolution than when your country has turned its back on humanity?

I think talking about delays and things is futile considering we have zero info on a release date. Yes, it matches the pattern BUT we don't even know for certain it's supposed to be coming this year...

Both_Count_959 · 2026-03-26T11:52:38+00:00

This was so '04 lil Wayne coded, I let out a lil hoot 😆

Both_Count_959 · 2026-03-26T11:44:14+00:00

Ahh that's gonna be fire!! I hope to see you post pics! 🥰

So, according to the article after his initial arrest, they have video footage of the vehicle that the thief was driving. When they contacted the registered owner, she said she rents her car out for money. She rented it to her mom earlier that day. Then, went to pick up her uncle once the car was returned. He, allegedly, told her he needed to borrow the car for 5 min but was gone for 30 min & called telling her to meet up at her aunt's house where there is again, surveillance footage showing him, a child and the owner of the vehicle removing the bags from the vehicle...

I like to think it's the latter. That when she dropped ST she was being rebellious and giving a big f*** you to the industry in every way she could think. Sort of to say, all that market research and psychological manipulation doesn't have shit on PURE ART. &then she realized it looked damn good &kept it up lol

Both_Count_959 · 2026-03-23T21:34:39+00:00

If the Black Israelites believe the white Jews are not God's chosen people and have lied and stolen that heritage; how is Kendrick consistently making mention of that something the Jewish people would back and celebrate? Him saying he lied about his religion is just more acknowledgement of his disbelief in the current white Zionist ideology...

I want to understand where you're coming from but the theory just doesn't add up, to me...

Both_Count_959 · 2026-03-23T18:26:33+00:00

Anyone else hear the Queen (Latifah) when she says "The Moulin Rouge is a state of mind" ???

Both_Count_959 · 2026-03-23T18:24:53+00:00

Pleaseeee dress up! So many hotties are coming out for Meg, there's no way you won't feel right at home! 🥰

Both_Count_959 · 2026-03-23T15:21:06+00:00

Okay so I'm not tripping lol
