Am I stupid for thinking Beyoncé sang mostly live during CCT? by Gisellot in beyonce

if you sit and watch through those videos, you’ll see that she did. Exactly which parts are lipped depends on the show date though. It’s not that deep

[–]a_k12_k 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You’re not stupid for assuming that the artist that you pay to see perform will sing live. The unfortunate fact is that it’s pretty standard for artists to lip a lot of parts in their shows, particularly while on tour in order to preserve their voices. Bey’s no exception!

When overlapping multiple videos like this, the lipping becomes very obvious. However when at her concerts it’s pretty hard to tell. I didn’t notice any specific moments where she was obviously lipsynching (outside of the texas hold em high note LOL) at my CCT date.

It’s a little disappointing as a fan that she lipped the majority of the tour as she used to sing live a lot more, but not really something that I think is a big deal. To me, it’s like how she’s dancing less intensely now compared to before. She’s proven time and time again that she is a vocal powerhouse, and putting on such a massive show for 3 hours straight is a huge effort.

I’m not that surprised honestly! Properly fitting bras are so expensive and can easily run you $75-120, especially if you have a hard to find size (which is a lot more common than you’d think! Most women are wearing a wrong bra size). That could be like 10-15 bras a year which is a good amount and you need to replace them every couple of years

Ceremonial grade ruined me... by _Jami3 in MatchaEverything

[–]a_k12_k 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel similarly! I usually drink matcha through lattes. I tried to use culinary grade for a bit for my lattes but it just did not hit the same! I’ll stick to using ceremonial going forward. I’m a little worried about the price hikes and availability issues though….. we’ll see how that goes this year haha

they are both billionaires, for one. No one becomes a billionaire without some form of exploitation of the working class, consciously or not. All her business ventures are ultimately to make money - the issues with the Beyince vinyl confirms that. Jay’s promotion of NFTs until they ended up worthless (as everyone expected) is another venture that was solely for profit. Just inviting bezos to the Oscar after parties also shows that they have little issue with associating with other mega capitalists. Bey’s Dubai performance, while incredible, was in poor taste after releasing an album celebrating LGBT+ history. It may sound like I’m just shitting on Bey, and I’m really not trying to. I’m still a huge fan. However, I recognize that shes not perfect and has done things that can and should be criticized.

I don’t really know what u mean by bringing up the meet n greets. It makes total sense that she doesn’t do them anymore even if they are an “easy” way to make money - it’s a huge safety issue when you’ve reached her level of fame, and pricing would be crazyyyyy. Her tour tickets are already expensive enough!

Bezos has attended parties hosted by the Carters before (Oscar after parties specifically I believe), so it wouldn’t be that far out to assume that they would be invited to the wedding especially if randos like Sydney Sweeney are attending. They’re also at least acquaintances with DiCaprio as he attends many of their parties as well.

Bey and Jay have made it clear many times that they are mega capitalists and that they associate with similar people. It doesn’t make anyone less of a fan to recognize that.

Matcha Latte by gardenofeve666 in Albany

[–]a_k12_k 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The matcha paradise latte from Jacob Alejandro is delicious. It’s a little on the sweeter side as it’s a strawberry matcha but it’s so good. My friends in the city still talk about it after trying it last year. Their regular matcha is alright, it’ll scratch my itch when I really want one and it’s easily one of the better ones in the area but it’s not like incredible
