  2. jdek July 4, 2016

    Nothing like yelling, weave thrusting and fake emotion to get beyonce stans going eh??? She’s pathetic for making music like this and even more pathetic for performing it. Lawsuitonce DOES NOT and NEVER WILL care about black lives or racism however she DOES CARE about making money off of it.

    • Briano July 4, 2016

      And taking every opportunity to promote colorism, Yellow bone in the house! Pun not intended but taken

    • trellbeylike July 4, 2016

      Beyoncé has never lost a lawsuit. And Beyoncé has always been active in the black lives matters movement. She been attending rallies b4 Lemonade and Formation. She has donated for the cause. Bailed protesters out of jail. Yall mad bitter.

      • Briano July 4, 2016

        The Brain dead never surprise
        Beyonce has been a walking talking promoter of white supremcy and matertialism for 2/decades and I need a soldier, crime promoting

        I can do more for the people than Martin, and has degraded black people it is quite the coup that they can attach her to this movement, while promoting good hair and light skin, as yet another gimmick and the brain dead consume it

        She and jay have been the absolute WORST thing for black people bar none, their music if it can be called that has totally reprogrammed a generation in the worst ways imaginable

        Who needs a degree, right smile smile

        She is nothing but a pawn that does a great job she.and jay

      • Tori July 4, 2016

        Wait…Who did she bail out of jail? Why is this the first time that I’m hearing of Beyonce bailing protesters out of jail? Is there a link to this?

    • Surprise..(DEC 2013) July 4, 2016

    Freedom is such a good song, kudos to the real writers.

    Sorry is a very forgeteable song, much like most of her discography.

    • jdek July 4, 2016

      • LB July 4, 2016

        Vocally 4closure is her best era, however I don’t remember any of the songs off of the top of my head.

    • Surprise..(DEC 2013) July 4, 2016

      Lol, and u think in 10 years people will still be singing the nursery rhyme that is WORK……OK

      • LB July 4, 2016

        In 10 years time, people will remember more Rihanna songs than Yonce, this is a fact. Ask Madonna and Tina Turner.

      • wrosy3 July 4, 2016

        Beyonce songs are forgettable no one can name a song by Beyonce unless you remember justin Timberlake singing single ladies on Saturday nights live in tights Beyonce songs have one repetitive verse

    • Surprise..(DEC 2013) July 4, 2016

      Sure, i’m sure when RIHANNA IS 50 her fans will still be singing only girl in the world…LOL

      • LB July 4, 2016

        People remember hits, Rihanna has got them, Yonce doesn’t.

    • Surprise..(DEC 2013) July 4, 2016

      • LB July 4, 2016

    • RihYonce July 4, 2016

      Beyoncé songs from 13 years ago is still being talked about nobody can remember anything from Rihanna from her first two albums. She wasn’t relevant until umbrella came out tbh .

    • trellbeylike July 4, 2016

      Her discography is forgetful, but after 20 years can sell out stadiums across the globe and have everyone singing along. Meanwhile yall fav is on her 14th #1 single in her 10th year and still cant even get half the stadium to show up. Guess those burnt out singles are more burnt than she thought.

  4. DEL BEY July 4, 2016

    I was in attendance on Saturday night, she killed it of courseeeee! This is why we stan for Yoncè titanics, Rihanna’s STIFF twerking would of put me to sleep!

    • wrosy3 July 4, 2016

      Can your welfare ass afford anything

      • Tori July 4, 2016

        No sweetie explain why Rihanna stadium sow is so damn empty! If her back catalog is so much better than Beyonce, why did Beyonce pack out a stadium for nights and Rihanna couldn’t get ppl to come for 2 hours.

  5. LB July 4, 2016

    Anyway can Frapuccino Grande fans tell her to release sometimes as her next single, I am literally obsessed with that song.

    • Surprise..(DEC 2013) July 4, 2016

      Which song?? INTO YOU….

  6. LB July 4, 2016

    I will complement Yonce on one thing though, she understands her voice and developed a technique to make it sort of work.

    The unfortunate thing in this business is everyone wants to be Whitney and therefore misunderstand their voices, something that wasn’t an issue in the 90s.

    For example, Janet’s voice is thinner, therefore she wouldn’t push her voice further than it needs to be. This has been a reason Lana was successful for a brief moment.

    Yonce’s voice is thinner if you listen closely. When she attempts the really high and big notes, her voice is less pleasant, but she developed a technique to mask those flaws.

    Whereas an artist like Whitney, Tamar, Rihanna, Mariah (her first two eras, the only eras she sang with a mic on) have got a fuller voice, and therefore it is more versatile and can do more and still sound pleasant to the ear. It is about understanding your voice, its tone and what you can do with it. She understands that very well.

    • Surprise..(DEC 2013) July 4, 2016

      I disagree, during the bday era, beyonce was hitting high notes left and right with such ease. Yes u are right she understands her voice more than a lot of singer out there, and her technique is unmatchable, that is what years of singing will do for you. But the BEYONCE EXPERIENCE TOUR WAS WHEN BEYONCE WAS AT HER BEST, HER VOICE WAS BIG AND FLEXIBLE AS FUCKKK.

      • LB July 4, 2016

        Did you even read anything of what I wrote, I talked about understanding the tone and limitations of your voice and developing a technique for that voice so it can sound pleasant to the ear. There is nothing complicated Yonce does with her voice, she just has a good technique for her style of voice, which is thinner. When she aims for the big notes, her voice doesn’t sound full, like she does when she is in her mid range.

        Here is an example of an artist who understands their voice. Notice she doesn’t have runs all over the place.

    • TRUTH SERUM July 4, 2016

      Oh lovely bird, you get a ‘C’ for effort! I like you but that was some bullsh@t you wrote???

      • Surprise..(DEC 2013) July 4, 2016

        Lol, he was trying to pay beyonce a compliment, but felt the need to be shady.

    • Surprise..(DEC 2013) July 4, 2016

      Rebecaa ferguson voice understand her voice, but has no range at all. What shre has going for her is her tone just like ur fave. The difference is that beyonce understands her voice very well and that is why she can use runs and control them easily unlike someone like XTINA. U were trying to be complimentary but failed miserably.

    • wrosy3 July 4, 2016

      I agree but Beyonce has a horible voice when she sings ballads her voice is meant for ghetto up beat songs anything meaningful forget about it

      • Surprise..(DEC 2013) July 4, 2016

        AND RIHANNA HAS A VOICE?????????

    • Coolness July 4, 2016

      “Beyonce does nothing complicated with her voice.” By far THE dumbest thing I’ve seen you type regarding her! Do you even know ANYTHING about vocal pedagogy? I doubt it considering Rihanna is your fav and she seemingly only learned decent singing technique three years ago. Beyonce is a coloratura which means she can do almost almost anything with her voice and make it sound effortless. She’s at home with R&B stylings but has expanded her range to Jazz and even Classical singing/Opera. Plus, her vocal runs, riffs and licks are insane! She is pure musicality when it comes to singing and can even imitate instruments. That rapid-fire run she does at before the last two choruses on the live version of Crazy In Love would low key be vocal s****** for some singers. And that doesn’t even scratch the surface of her prowess as a vocalist. Just because you don’t like her tone doesn’t mean she’s a passable singer. Get a clue, pls.

  7. UPGRADEBOY July 4, 2016

    2 sold out shows at Wembley sadium ,2 nights in a row ,dont get it twisted, my fave is that b*****

  9. TRUTH SERUM July 4, 2016

    Lemonade has classics songs on it! Beyonce has cemented her legacy as a true artist. Them other pop girls will be left in the dust! It’s takes courage to address social injustice when it’s not the most popular thing to do. There’s a movement amongst African Americans… Much like the 60’s . Power to the people ✊?✊?. My Latino brothers and sisters get in formation, they’re trying to eradicate your existence in US !!!

  10. jdek July 4, 2016

    lemonade was overrated trash tbh. All the songs are just…forgettable and boring. I admit the cheating bullsh*t story was a wise move but the album itself was nothing more than a lack luster.

    • Surprise..(DEC 2013) July 4, 2016

      OK

  11. jdek July 4, 2016

    Anyways I’m happy the tours going well

    my only question is Whats it gonna take for her to get a number 1 again or are those days truly behind her?

    • LB July 4, 2016

      She’ll start buying Spotify streams soon since her payola is not working.

      • Surprise..(DEC 2013) July 4, 2016

        I’m sure riri knows the best person that will offer her the best spotify stream sales.

      Selling out stadiums or #1 singles?
      OKAY..

  12. IStan4Rihanna. (British Navy Capt’) July 4, 2016

    I WAS THERE!!! 😉 😉 😉

    .

    I had gold circle tickets, just like I did when I saw Rihanna, and she was so close to me on several occasions. My favourite parts of the show were the “Formation” opening, her singing “1+1 & Love On Top” and the “Rocket, Baby Boy & CIL/B’LICIOUS/NG” showcases.

    .

    I can most certainly appreciate her as a live entertainer and she is, without a doubt, one of the best of her generation in terms of stylised & well executed performance.

    .

    P.S: My friend who works for Wembley Stadium IT support said that Rihanna did “63K” for one show whereas Beyoncé may have done “72K” for the first show and “74K” for the second show though we’ll see in the boxscores anyhow!

    • ???????Chile, take this “Itty Bitty Piggy” to the market and make sure you hold her hand while crossing the street!??????? July 4, 2016

      Hun, there’s no way Bey did those numbers. She did way more. Coldplay did 76,000 each of their four nights and the stadium had lots of huge empty sections in the mid section of the back. Their box scores even claim all four shows were sold out too.

    • ???????Chile, take this “Itty Bitty Piggy” to the market and make sure you hold her hand while crossing the street!??????? July 4, 2016

      Here’s a video to show what all four nights looked like:

    • Surprise..(DEC 2013) July 4, 2016

      I really appreciate u as a fan of music, U are a NAZI, but yet u also support Beyonce. I like that kind of behaviour and wee need more people like u on this blog..HONESTLY, U CAN SHOW THE HIVE AND THE NAVI HOW TO LOVE ALL AND SUPPORT DIFF ARTIST.

  13. The Kpop Guy, Matt~ July 4, 2016

    When does the lemonade era start? Because she’s STILL doing the Mrs Camel tour and releasing “Buzz singles”

  14. ???????Chile, take this “Itty Bitty Piggy” to the market and make sure you hold her hand while crossing the street!??????? July 4, 2016

    So, Coldplay’s four nights at Wembley EACH had super empty sections (like, incredibly noticeable….even in the dark) and they were sold out with almost 76,000 in attendance. That means Bey still pulled in over 78,000 for her second night.

    • Surprise..(DEC 2013) July 4, 2016

      AGRRED, IT HINK SHE DID OVER 70K ON BOTH NIGHTS, MAYBE EVEN 80K. COLDPLAY AND MADONNA HAD A LOT OF EMPTY SEATS TOO AND THEY WERE BOTH SOLD OUT. BEYONCE SHOW EVEN LOKED FULLER THAN BOTH SHOWS….THE BOXSCORE WILL LET US KNOW WATS GOOD.

      • ???????Chile, take this “Itty Bitty Piggy” to the market and make sure you hold her hand while crossing the street!??????? July 4, 2016

        Yep. Can’t wait for the boxscore. Coldplay made $30 million from their four nights, so just imagine Bey’s gross when her tickets were way more expensive. I really want her to add another Wembley date after she finishes her second U.S. leg. Let her make history again.

    • Slayty Perry (Prism’s 5 Billion Streams) July 4, 2016

      Well Coldplay is massive in the UK. I don’t think stadiums ever completely sell out. It seems that they always keep some sections closed off

  15. HailLegendBeysus July 4, 2016

    Legend Yonce killed that s***!!!
    .
    She is breaking records left n right this era! Most in attendance for Sunderland stadium 51,000, most in attendance for a female concert at The New Wembley Stadium 80,000 and 75,000 beating Madonna’s 74,000 in 2008!!! Meanwhile a certain hit maker could only feel half the stadium ??????!!!!

    • M***** July 4, 2016

      “God is God I’m am not” ?

    • The Kpop Guy, Matt~ July 4, 2016

      The Popeyes combo of screaming and lip syncing does not make Yonce a vocalist

      • HailLegendBeysus July 4, 2016

        @Dang-WAAAA The list is based off of top critics opinions, public opinion and the technicality of one’s voice. Stay pressed and seethe over the Queen hooeee

    • ???????Chile, take this “Itty Bitty Piggy” to the market and make sure you hold her hand while crossing the street!??????? July 4, 2016

      Sis, compare Bey’s second night to this.
      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsLYKcE3OSU

      There’s no way she didn’t do over 77,000 for the second date when Coldpaly did 76,000 at their show looked like this.

      • HailLegendBeysus July 4, 2016

        She most def pulled more! though I do see they had the same little sections empty at the bottom. Are those seats not available for purchase for some reason?

  16. RihYonce July 4, 2016

    The queen is out here breaking records , she has not only the best selling album of 2016 but he she has the BEST album & most critically acclaimed album this year . Stop hating the queen can’t lose . Who needs a #1 single when your $18 album hasn’t left the top 5 on BB200 & still going number 1 weekly on iTunes without discounted prices

    • HailLegendBeysus July 4, 2016

      Kiii the album hasn’t left the top 4 in 10 weeks (glups lemonade)

  17. StrawberryMuffin24 July 4, 2016

    Shitade is overrated trash no hits or replay value just album full of filler gimmick to sale that mess! Beyawnce tone sucks and she lip-synchs 90 percent of her performances! Give me XTINA vocals anyday!

  21. Stephy July 4, 2016

    You can’t “drag” Beyonka. She’s arguably the biggest female artist in the industry, and she doesn’t even need massive albums sales or #1 hits. The fact that she’s doing a stadiums only solo world tour under the age of 40 with only 6 (solo) albums under her belt speaks volumes. Great performances, Bey!

    • Surprise..(DEC 2013) July 4, 2016

      THANK YOU FOR KEPING IT REAL…….DID U SEE HOW LOOSEBOOTY TREID TO SHADE HER VOICE THO..LMAO

      • HailLegendBeysus July 4, 2016

        No LIES DETECTED

    • King Mark111 July 4, 2016

      She’s a touring force because her solo career launched off the back of a already touring group. Beyonce solo did not start off from the ground up, she continued the momentum of DC. So save the under 40 crap.

      • Stephy July 4, 2016

        By this logic sir, Michael Jackson started his career off the backs of his brothers? And, didn’t build his “career” (even tho whether you’re in a group or not it’s still a career) from the “ground up”. Cut the s***, Mark. Yonce is the only under 40 act selling out stadiums like some old ass legend from the 1980s. Yonce is the only act that debuted from her era still relevant. It’s not a coincidence dear, it’s hard work, raw talent & dedication. DC was never a huge touring force. Beyonka didn’t start becoming a huge touring force (commercially speaking) until THIS decade.
        —-
        The Mrs. Carter World Tour – The Biggest grossing tour by a BLACK artist, ever.
        .
        The On The Run World Tour – Grossed 100 Million $’s from only 20 f****** shows!
        .
        The Formation World Tour – This tour will most definitely break MDNA’s & Celine’s record & will become the 2nd highest grossing tour in history. And, if Beyonka’s smart, she’ll add at-least 20 more shows to break Granny’s all time record. If she wanted too, Yonka could EASILY gross 500,000,000+ $’s from this tour. DC or early Beyonka was NEVER this big. Her star power has grown, and made people pretty much forget about Destiny’s Children

      • Mark111 /.\ July 4, 2016

        YES! MJ and the whole damn family started off the back of the Jackson 5. And he was 5 or 8 and with his brothers and this is decades before the 90s. Beyonce was in a group of 10 girls then cut to 4 and then replaced 3 members before the age of “20” when their was already a market of t*** girls with solo careers. And DC on their last two albums were touring the world, just bc they weren’t stadiums doesn’t mean it was the foundation of her touring career. Her music career is still short lived, you guys are clinging to touring bc that’s all the 40 year old has.

      • Stephy July 4, 2016

        Nobody is going to Beyonka’s tours because of Destiny’s Child. F*** outta here with that petty s***! Excuses as far as I’m concerned. Fact still remains, Bey is selling out stadiums, going Platinum in ACTUAL sales & still charting top 10 hits almost 20 years into her career. She most definitely has more than just touring for her fans to cling too. And, don’t forget touring is the actual m***** maker, period. #1 hits don’t matter anymore…Never really did.

      • Stephy July 4, 2016

        money*

      • Mark111 /.\ July 4, 2016

        The were on two world tours, it’s a fact. And #1s isn’t money if you’re on a label. Ask these writers and Indie artist. Ask Rihanna and Macklemore. Beyonce tours bc she doesn’t own her music and can’t get a #1. WHen your singles flop left and right, your album sell 1 to 4 million and you’re only getting 8% of that, then yes, you have to tour. Rihanna is not in that bout this era. Her name is on those #1s and top 10s this era and she’s getting money from her past singles, why? Because she owns them.

      • Stephy July 4, 2016

        1.) She owns the masters to music that she doesn’t write nor produce. She still has to pay taxes, legal fees & songwriter/producer fees, from those 1.29 singles. It’s a smart move but her sales (albums) aren’t that massive to really make a huge profit from those sales/airplay/streams. And, if she isn’t responsible. She could be held accountable for not paying royalties to the actual songwriters/producers. And, Roc Nation/DEF Jam aka UNIVERSAL still gets a percentage as the distributors of that music. She owns the STUDIO RECORDINGS, and that’s great. But, lets not act like she’s selling 20+ million an album priced at 10-15 dollars. So, save the owning s***. I don’t care! It still won’t place her above Taylor, Adele, Katy or Beyonka on the FORBES highest earning singers list, period
        .
        .
        2.) Yonce is NOT just a touring act. The lady is a mogul, a certified business woman. Her hand is in the mix of a lot of investments, far more than touring. How do you think a woman with albums sales only passing the 30+ million mark, combined. Single sales lower than 120 million, that she doesn’t even own the masters too. Still be-able to bring in the same (most of the time bigger) earning’s as the likes of Taylor, Adele & Katy. It’s not just from touring. Forbes & Wall-street calculate her net worth to be over 250 million $’s. That’s surly not just from touring or album/single sales, it’s from her whole empire as a whole. We probably don’t even know half the stuff her brand is profiting from.
        .
        .
        Even with Rih owning her masters for a 200+ million record selling catalog (mostly from CHEAP singles, she DIDN’T WRITE OR PRODUCE & HAS TO PAY THOSE REAL MUSICIANS THEIR FEES)… Beyonka STILL is worth & generates more money, YEARLY. And, that can be proven throughout the past 10 years by Forbes & Wallstreet.

    Excuse me, but “Lovely Bird” is only to be used by me! Thank you. That is MY nickname for him.

    AnTEAways, @LovelyBird why you lying on the good sis Mariah?
    .
    “Mariah (her first two eras, the only eras she sang with a mic on)”

    Let’s not go there boo. Her first two era’s were nice but vocally she reached her peak during her 4th (Merry Christmas) & 5th (Daydream) era’s. And yes, her mic was on. Hitting notes Rihanna could only dream of. Carey belting out 10+ F5/F#5 & 2 G5 resonant belts during one showcase in 1996. That’s more upper-belts than Rihanna will ever execute in her entire career, studio or live. Love you 🙂

    • King Mark111 July 4, 2016

      He has a point, Mc did spend most of her career with a turned off mic. Rihanna always sing live.

      • Stephy July 4, 2016

        But, the point wasn’t invalid. Carey’s mic goes in & out. There’s a difference. And, Rih doesn’t need to lip. Her songs aren’t vocally demanding & she basically talk-sings.

      • Stephy July 4, 2016

        was*

      • Mark111 /.\ July 4, 2016

        Doesn’t matter, lipping is lame, period. Don’t have your fans call you the best vocalist and come on stage pulling a Britney, Janet and Madonna without a dance number (or stage effects in Granny’s case).

      • Stephy July 4, 2016

        True, but still Carey’s songs are far more difficult to sing, period.

      • Mark111 /.\ July 4, 2016

        Because it’s studio magic. Why record songs in a studio that you know you won’t be able to hit LIVE? Know your range and stay in it 90% of the time.

      • Stephy July 4, 2016

        But, she does have the range. Carey possessed a 4 octave vocal range. Studio magic is used on EVERY SINGLE POP ACT, PERIOD. And, she’s allowed to craft, shift & create her records in which ever way she want’s too. That’s what happens when you actually write & produce your own material.
        .
        And she lip syncs, her fans know it & still people come to see her. Just like with Celine Dion. Get over it.

    • LB July 4, 2016

      Rihanna knows her voice, and her limitations. That’s why her music is ear candy, she makes music that is pleasant to the ear and knows how to use her voice.

      She doesn’t try to be an artist she is not. She is no Mariah, she is Rihanna.

      • Stephy July 4, 2016

        I agree. So, don’t shade an actual vocalist that served vocals that only one can dream of executing. Rih is a nice pop singer but like you said, she’s definitely no Mariah.

      • LB July 4, 2016

        I’m not shading Mariah, I’m just being honest. Most of her career has been her singing with the mic off.

      • Stephy July 4, 2016

        She does exactly what Celine Dion does night after night. It’s a way to preserve the voice. Especially when one has a voice like Mariah’s. It’s impossible to be hitting notes like that every-time you hit the stage, with the work schedule those women have. I don’t think people realize how difficult it is to sing like a Carey or Dion. Her mic has NOT been off most of her career, that’s a lie.

  25. Stephy July 4, 2016

    “Yonce’s voice is thinner if you listen closely. When she attempts the really high and big notes, her voice is less pleasant, but she developed a technique to mask those flaws.”
    ————-
    This is so false boo. Yonka’s voice is actually thicker & mature. She’s developed a full on Mezzo-Contralto’s voice. Her overall voice has dropped. Her voice during the DC/early -mid 00s was actually a bit nasal. She had a naturally higher (and more immature as in girlish) vocal tone/larynx.
    .
    Her voice is actually more controlled, fuller & stronger. It’s just her upper belts are more-so limited due to her voice becoming naturally lower & finally evolving into a full on contralto. Contrary to popular belief but Beyonka has never been a full on Soprano. But, as you stated her excellent vocal technique (specifically during her high larynx days) made many believe she was.
    .
    Whitney, Tamar & Mariah could/can do more with their voices because they were/are SOPRANO’s. That’s why mostly all of their registers were/are fluid & full. Especially, when it comes to mid-upper belts. Bey was never a full on soprano. Her excellent technique & early high larynx just made it seem like it, props to her.

    • JazSullivan July 4, 2016

      Beyonces voice was pretty annoying in the early DC days. I think her voice is the best it’s ever been. She developed a more sultry tone over the years. Range doesn’t define a singer.

      • Reply At Your Own Risk. Leave the DumbFuckery At Door ~tyler July 4, 2016

        I think it’s because she had too much vibrato back then. Her voice has matured so much since DC.

    • Fact July 4, 2016

      Correction. Mariah Carey’s voice is an ALTO and she can hit all the other notes. She is not a Sapronno

      • Stephy July 4, 2016

        I thought she was a light lyric soprano during her hey day but ok…

    • therealist July 5, 2016

      I agree partly with what you say, but mariah does not have a real head voice, its all falsetto, Beyonce on the other hand has a real head voice, and does not have a falsetto and what I mean by that is that she does not has a whistle registry such as mariah and tamar. and for the record whitney does not have a wider range than the three, but she has the stronger voice, just research it, and I am a fan of all three ladies for the record.

  26. JazSullivan July 4, 2016

    Beyonce is a FORCE. I think it’s safe to say that her legendary status has been solidified. None of our favs can do what she does on stage.

      • Mark111 /.\ July 4, 2016

        “None of our favs can do what she does on stage.”
        .
        No one want to see a beach whale shake her fat @ss, love handles and belly. She’s a loud singer, so are many fat church girls. So no one cares. Her music sucks and career is NOTHING because she just up and quit when she was younger (and thinner).

      • JazSullivan July 4, 2016

        Jazmine is anything BUT a loud singer. Unlike you, I don’t Stan for sales but just know Jazmine slays all of your non-singing faves.

      • JazSullivan July 4, 2016

        Rihanna and Aaliyah certainly can’t/couldn’t do what Bey does. Aaliyah was a lousy live performer, but she was much better than Rihanna’s lazy dry self.

  27. LB July 4, 2016

    @Chile,

    You have to understand how the business works. An artist’s deal on tour is either a guarantee per venue or a percentage of ticket sales per show, depending on whichever is higher. Typically artists get $500K per arena and close to $700K to $1 million per stadium (also depends on level of sponsorship, merch..etc).

    Anyway with regards to attedance, most shows are never truly sold out, they are usually bought up by ticket scalpers. That is why some shows might appear “sold out” but have lower attedance than “non sold out shows”; it all depends on how many tickets the scalpers have bought up.

    This is why I typically disregard the whole twitter/instagram pictures thing, because typically there’s more to the story.

  28. LB July 4, 2016

    Stephy,

    Yonce is good at touring, but you have to realize the marketing behind the Formation Tour. She announced this tour right after the Superbowl performance, to a large audience, though much much lower than previous Superbowl performances.

    Not even Madonna did such large venues on her previous tour, because she didn’t have the large marketing platform as she did with MDNA.

    Even Kate Hudson capitalized on the marketing opportunity, extended her tour beyond the Superbowl and grossed over $200 million.

    Just like most of her releases, it is all about timing.

    • Stephy July 4, 2016

      I see nothing wrong with that. And, Rebel Heart wasn’t about a big show. The soul purpose was about the intimate experience. I understand marketing in the industry well.
      .
      PS: Madonna could’ve done a massive stadiums tour if she wanted too. She doesn’t need a massive platform to promote it. Sticky & Sweet proved that. And, Confessions …

      • LB July 4, 2016

        I never said there is anything wrong with it, everybody would capitalize on such an opportunity. I’m just bringing reality to the situation, especially considering many of the exaggerations from her camp.

        I think Madonna would have needed one hell of a marketing campaign to sell out another stadium tour after MDNA. Her fan base is winding down, it might not seem so because she is massive, but that is the reality of the business, or any business for that matter. Eventually you’ll be in your maturity stage, and have to wind down what you can churn out to meet demand.

      • Stephy July 4, 2016

        Fair enough.

Beyoncé ticket’s were more expensive and the GP still bought the inflated secondary market ticket’s hence why Bey’s stadium was packed! Now StruggleAnna on the other hand couldn’t even get the GP to purchase her inflated ticket prices which is why the heaux had an attendance of 60k when compared to Bey’s 80k and 75k LOLOL!!! So stop with these fuxking excuses!! The bottom line is fRih isn’t a great performer and the GP realise that. She is only good for hit singles. But sadly all them hits couldn’t draw a crowd of 80k like Bey who has less hits ?????

    Beyoncé is an amazing performer, one of the best female performers of all time, I admit it, just not my kind of performer, I prefer the theatrical ones like Madonna and Gaga, yes Gaga, she’s phenomenal on stage, musically speaking, for this generation she is a goddess when it comes to musicianship, Beyoncé is great and have a good voice but Jlo can do all the things she does on stage (besides singing) and even better, that’s why I don’t consider her to be one of the greats, she will definitely be a legend, just not one of the true greats like Mike, Whitney, Celine, Mariah and Madonna, i might be unfair since those people are hard to top or even reach their status in music history/popular culture, she’s okay though, just me being honest ?

    • therealist July 5, 2016

      I have to disagree with you, but I respect your opinion, jlo could never do what bey does, you can’t take singing away because that’s part of the performance. jlo can never dance and sing and sound good, as a matter of fact she cant sing, and the only one that is just as good as bey and better at what she does vocally on the list is whitney, mariah is nice to because of her whistle registry but even she cant do what bey does. celine could never, just youtube celine dion and destiny’s child singing emotions. Bey stunts on celine, you can see the look that celine has on her face when bey hits the high note, she slayed. Also youtube patti la belle on beyonce. She says that girl can sang, and can go for a straight two hours on stage. I personally gag is like fried chicked with no season on it. Bland as hell!!! no versatility. plain jane.

Like nothing,nothing about how they sang, how they sold tickets, how they gathered a fan base because everyone was beyond belief and loved it. No newspapers, no gimmicks, no fakery, no last minute release before tours; everyone and their momma felt their riffs, octaves and melody with the music wave. It was unnecessary to argue about their talent. Am I right, shame of the devil, today. Beyonce sing-talk over the music range flow with rants, growls and over the top shrills & sqeals to get your attention span. It seems like destiny child who she started out with and not by herself kept her singing mello tone or she was still in love with her ex.
