Beyonce, Thunder Thighs on Display, Out of Breath and Out of Key at Concert

Shrieker.

That’s not singing!

R2 in your opinion. The verse she is singing is a rap style cadence with long bites as it transitions into the chorus. Touring is rough on a person that’s why so many big acts never did it consistently.

Long belts*

She was out of breath in the beginning and was out of tune on a couple of occasions (that glissando in head voice at 00:53 was awful), but she did recover her composure and the belted melismas were very well executed. I personally dislike about 80% of her dismally bad repertoire, but it is undeniable that she is a good singer and her technique is great - she's certainly the best of her generation, but that is only because most singers who emerged in the late 90s/early 00s, have disastrous technique and in most cases, no talent whatsoever.

If Beyoncé had had to compete with the likes of Aretha, Patti, Donna Summer, Linda Ronstadt, Mina, Natalie Cole, cunty Miss Ross, Barbra, Whitney, Mariah and even Toni Braxton, she'd be considered merely passable.

She still looks great but I don't know why she got those big fake tits that throw her off-balance

I hate her and always have. She’s prepackaged pop for idiots. That said, she didn’t sound bad.

I don't dislike her, but she is definitely way overrated. She got so lucky. I'm just surprised by her success, she seems very unmemorable. More power to her. I'm envious.

She is so fucking annoying and boring. The same with Taylor Swift.

As noted, popularity amidst very very low competition in a deadly dull musical landscape.

She became a thing thanks to Whitney dying and BLM. They crowned her as one the leaders of their movement. Don’t love Beyonce? You’re a racist POS who must be destroyed. Her fans are batshit crazy.

Beyoncé can sing anything. Pop, country, soul, hip-hop/soul, rock, dancehall.

Don’t forget her fug husband fudging her streaming numbers with his company.

[quote] Beyoncé can sing anything

Just not well.

I am not a fan of her but that wasn’t bad at all and it’s one of the few songs I like by her. Not even Ozempic can shrink those thighs. She does have a tiny waist and flat stomach though. Overall a nice body and she’s a good performer.

R12 Whitney was old enough to be Queen Bey’s mom. Get real. Beyoncé would have still been a thing. She hit the scene when Mariah Carey, Janet, and Madge we’re still having mainstream success.

Beyoncé was famous for 10 whole years before BLM even became a thing. Again you guys lie constantly. And I’m pretty sure Single Ladies which made her an icon came out before BLM was relevant or even had the clout it does.

No amount of money can shake off that pageant style sensibility. It's baked in.

R15 Clean out your fucking ears.

Put her down, dumb bitch.

Can we please stop with these Beyonce threads??? You senile queens talk about her every other week like she's some recent phenomenon, she's been out since 1997! She's 42 years old now, her peers Christina, Britney and Justin etc have tall tapped out, but Beyonce is still doing it for the fans.

Another pompous ass who cannot let go the fact that this woman is a product of marketing, not of talent, with all its posts on the account she's using directed to this thread:

Something from 2015 doesn't address the new Lizzo-with-TB Beyondsay of 2023, poopy face.

R22 She has become their new go to for hate now that Madge is getting old and the recent health scare. I notice people have soften on Madge, a brilliant artist, since her near death experience.

Fie! r5,

Among your list of excellent singers you left off the one, the only, who, in a single song, conveyed more melodramatic, over-the-top, soap-opera, pain and story gladys Knightthan a dozen hits by Beyonce ever could-

I give you Gladys Knight, my all-time favorite soul singer, whose pinky finger contains more talent than Bey, Swift, and the rest, combined-

Beyonce, Taylor Swift and Nicki Minaj are blight on the aural landscape.

Beyonce has been incredibly successful at selling her brand. Her voice is good, not great. At this point, her body is fine when compared to the monstrosities of Cardi and the like. Her team controls all access to her, so no damage is done to her image by exposing how vapid she is. When younger, she could dance and put on a good show. Now she needs a lot of pageantry around her, costume changes, and a few dance moves. I mean she is over 40.

Beyoncé’s voice is more than just good and always has been. I have friends who worked as sound engineers on her projects. She often dumbs down her voice in the studio for the masses. Thats why she sounds so phenomenal and even better live.

Who are these dumb queens starting Beyonce threads just to diss her?! The ones who are too broke to see the Renaissance Tour?

She is 42 years old and has bore three children. She looks fucking incredible. Her voice is in great condition. Her show is spectacular -- visually stunning, 150 minutes and she nails every note, vocal run and step. She looks flawless and she has at least 12 wardrobe changes. It is the spectacle to end all spectacles. Madonna is shook. I have yet to hear one review that was less than rapturous.

Don't let being a poor make you bitter and stop you from getting your life from Beyonce. Pick up a few extra overnight shifts driving Uber and get a nosebleed seat, you will not be disappointed.

[quote] getting your life from Beyonce

I hope things improve for you, R30

Thank you, dear. Life ebbs and flows, and right now it's flowing.

R30 You are 100% correct but no need to bash Madge. Even I recognize she walked so the Queen could run. Madge is not a vocalist but a visionary yes.

She looks stinky.

In OP’s clip, Beyoncé looks like Maya Rudolph doing a Beyoncé impression.

Agree about Gladys Knight, who makes Bayawn look America's Got Talent level. But sure, yass kween giving life serving lewks, etc.

I thought she sounded fine. Flawed because it’s live and she’s moving and dancing through the whole show. I hate to do it, but I have to: Madonna could never sing that well live. She’d have to sing in a much lower register than normal that sounded awful and she always struggled to stay on key. If she sounded good, chances are it was lip synced. Both women put on a good show and own the stage but Beyoncé has the vocals.

R35 I ain’t gna lie. I have never the Queen look so rough up close. That was good one. Funny.

Madge is a LOW bar, so thst sounds right.

[quote] [R30] You are 100% correct but no need to bash Madge. Even I recognize she walked so the Queen could run. Madge is not a vocalist but a visionary yes.

Completely agree. I know how it read but I was not bashing Madonna or her brilliance. Madonna was my teenage obsession and I was firmly enthralled for well over a decade, through "Bedtime Stories." She is a visionary and a powerful, positive cultural force. She was the most prominent open ally, advocate of gays and lesbians during perilous times for us. Beyonce pays lavish tribute to Madonna during the Renaissance show.

Madonna is only shook because she is watching a woman 23 years younger stun audiences with a show much bigger and more expensive than anything she's done -- and clearly inspired by her. Beyonce's show moves quickly and is executed with an otherworldly precision. I don't know how Madonna, at 65, can watch it and be like 'ok, now it's time for me to tour.' Truly no shade but if I were in Madonna's shoes I'd announce my retirement today. She's earned it.

At least she is singing live.

She is not my favorite but she is a helluva live performer.

So I watched the whole vid and I must say she sounds amazing on the harmonies in the end. Beyoncé always bring the r&b musicality with her ad libs. These other girls today could never. That shit is so creative and fierce. She put that stank on it. I remember watching Wendy about a decade ago and even Patti Labelle was like people say a lot things about a Beyonce but that lil heifer can sang.

R40 I am pretty sure Madge has come close in her concert gross. You must also keep in mind inflation. I think when you respect an artist much younger than you, you feel no need to compete.

R42 What is your native language?

I’ll just say this. Adele who I like and has a fairly decent voice being sounded winded and her ass is just sitting at a piano the entire show. I have seen Mary J. blige live and she runs out of breath near the end of the show. I have never been to any of the Queen’s tours I’ll admit; I saw her live once at Good Morning America. The only female artist that I have seen live to match Beyoncé’s live vocals is Chrisette Michelle. Chrisette Michelle might actually be a better vocalist than the Queen but she has a fucked up body. And I’m not even talking about fatness because she wasn’t fat for black America but it’s like the front of her body should be the back and vice versa. She also arrived 2 hrs late. But boy did she deliver. She was like them old jazz singers Ella Fitzgerald singing modern music.

R44 English. You know what— it’s Sunday. I’m not going to cuss you out. I am typing fast and also using expressions, slang etc. God bless you dear.

I usually can always find something bad to say about beyonce, but I thought she sounded amazing in that clip. No one else of this time could perform that belting part at the end. The only bad part of the whole thing was her facial expressions and tiny dolphin teeth.

She screams & wobbles too much, her music is bombastic with zero nuance, she’s been oversaturated in the media to point of revulsion, but she’s got a work ethic and she is beautiful. See her know because she’s going to blow that annoying voice and big hips out by 50.

That clip felt 2 hours long. Her voice is unpleasant to me when she belts one out, and I only really liked her in Destiny's Child. Vocally, this felt like a tribute to the iconic Fergie.

R49 same, I can’t stand her screaming. Her solo stuff’s vibe makes me nervous. She has ZERO restraint.

R50 You should purchase I am Sasha fierce disc one or the 4 album. She is more mellow on those records. I swear Beyonce has something for everyone that’s why I love her.

R51 what an overproduced POS. Her voice is anxiety inducing. No thanks. Just not my taste. I’ve listened to her over the years, she’s just not for me.

Fat no talent wanna be white gurl who can't sing, can't dance, can't hold a tune!!

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Ugh, that looks awesome. 😞 Wasn’t able to get tickets.

This is when I really stayed to realize this woman was more than just a pop star but a heavenly goddess.

R55 ahhhh fucking Jesus! Horrible. Her voice is sharp and piercing, she might technically hit the notes but it sounds like crystal vases being dropped on concrete.

R18, she was famous within a group. She was not what she is now. The industry wanted a new black vocalist to fill the void of Whitney. That’s when her solo career and the profile she now has really took off. End of story. She also profited off of BLM and exploited it in her work which she has absolutely no hand in.

[quote] Madonna is only shook because she is watching a woman 23 years younger stun audiences with a show much bigger and more expensive than anything she's done -- and clearly inspired by her.

Taylor Swift will be beating both of them.

R58 Taylor doesn’t overdo it vocally aka restraint and will sound the same at 60

R57 don’t forget appropriation of the LGBTQIA+ community

I don't dislike her.

I despise the "Queen Bey" stans with the heat of a thousand burning suns.

But, that clip was AWFUL.

[quote] [R40] I am pretty sure Madge has come close in her concert gross. You must also keep in mind inflation. I think when you respect an artist much younger than you, you feel no need to compete.

That sounds very lofty and evolved but we have all SEEN Madonna recently. She is highly competitive with everyone and everything. If she were maturing with grace I would be right there with you. However, I know since she caught Bey's show in NJ she has been making life miserable for everyone around her.

Sounds horrible but I think her hour-glass figure is fantastic, OP.

When will she show her pussy?

Queen Bey is appropriating black and LGBT culture now. Fo realz? I’m done here. You old timers are irrelevant.

But before I go. Because I know it will trigger you bitches. Bey is the Queen of Hollywood, Capitol Hill, and all of music.

When did her & JZ last pump a few million back into the projects to bring dey people up? Funny when people get power and wealth but don’t help others, don’t come up with some shit she took tax write offs for either.

Speaking of which why she ain’t paying her taxes?

???? You are speaking from a different universe and/or out of your ass. She has not profited off or exploited BLM. Black expression of cultural pride through music preceded BLM by over half a century. No one can fill the void left by Whitney. If anything, Beyonce is an amalgam of many great entertainers that preceded her, certainly not just one.

For reasons no one cares to know, you are trying to degrade her and put her in a box of your making. It's futile, give up.

Beyoncé shouldn’t even be mentioned in the same sentence as Whitney. No comparison. Beybey is a karaoke singer compared to Whitney.

Whitney has a beautiful immaculate pop voice. No one, not even Celine Dion, could sing a ballad like her. With that being said I feel like Beys voice is more versatile and dynamic.

[quote] I feel like Beys voice is more versatile and dynamic.

Than Whitney? I want some of what you're smoking, R71

She actually can sing. The problem is that the material is terrible. B'Day is the only album of hers I can stomach.

R71 you’re fucking delusional!

Beyoncé is like Patti Labelle without the personality and with a less pleasant tone.

[quote] Queen Bey is appropriating black and LGBT culture now. Fo realz? I’m done here. You old timers are irrelevant.

No! She is not appropriating, she is celebrating. I am "old timer" enough to recognize and appreciate the difference. Look at her audience. Young queers of color in all their flamboyant finery, same-sex couples holding hands and openly displaying affection. There is no precedent for this among mainstream Black artists. Beyonce is referred to as "Muva" -- the Ballroom variant of 'mother' -- that is very significant because it indicates affection and the esteem in which she is held in this particular community. She is affirming the most marginalized of the LGBTQ community, not the heteronormative Log Cabinettes. It was one of my favorite things about the show, seeing all those young people (my old @ss was invisible to them) coming together in community for the biggest Black star in the universe who was telling them -- unequivocally and loudly and in front of everyone -- that she loves and adores them in all their queer glory. Something that had never before happened in my lifetime.

If we can move past "Don't Say Gay" and LGBTQ history and culture is ever a serious topic of study, Renaissance-era Beyonce will be the most significant pop cultural figure for Black and Brown queers of this time period.

R76 Come “celebrate” your Queerness for the bargain basement price of $1000 per ticket! Get closer to the “celebration” with Platinum tickets for only $4500! I love y’all, my Queers! - Queen B

Beyonce, honey, never, ever wear a catsuit when your thighs are as wide as the Colorado River. I did it once when I performed Vibeology at the MTV Awards and learned my lesson.

When a stan flounces off a forum another angel gets its wings.

[quote]Whitney has a beautiful immaculate pop voice. No one, not even Celine Dion, could sing a ballad like her. With that being said I feel like Beys voice is more versatile and dynamic.

Beyoncé is a dancer as well. It’s a huge part of her act. You have different expectations for an artist that will be dancing throughout the show.

*different expectations vocally I mean

R80 Beyonce's a convulser, not a dancer.

Beyoncé has built a career on being a cunt that grins sometimes.

[quote]Her voice is sharp and piercing, she might technically hit the notes but it sounds like crystal vases being dropped on concrete

Agree r56....She IS technically able to hit the notes effortlessly, but her tone is often so shrill, especially now that she is older. She also has very little natural soul. Beyonce needed the harmonies to soften everything, the work with Destiny's Child and the first couple of albums was genius because they new exactly what worked.

I also *hate* when people compare Beyonce to fucking Gladys Knight, Aretha, singers who are/were old enough to be her grandma or auntie. Beyonce is a Y2K era artist and her amazing showmanship allowed her to stay relevant for much longer.

Yaaawwwn

Not ONE fan at a Beyoncé concert can ever not believe they are in the presence of the Almighty.

She could just act like a shouty, hippy, middle-aged cheerleader who can't really sing and they'd fork over their life savings for more...oh, wait.

The grammar and punctuation on this thread is atrocious.

Aint yall mommas and aunties and grandmommas ever taught yall how to do that writing of english ??

Shrill cunt

She's actually quite thinner than usual from my perspective. Not sure about the out of shape part, maybe she's on Ozempic.

Why doesn't she just lip sync?

Not all of the Beyoncé haters are white. Trust me…

[quote] [R76] Come “celebrate” your Queerness for the bargain basement price of $1000 per ticket! Get closer to the “celebration” with Platinum tickets for only $4500! I love y’all, my Queers! - Queen B

I see you, gurl. The ticket prices ARE a disgrace. I don't know if she could have done things differently. I wish she could have made it more accessible. The show is quite extravagant and obviously expensive. Ultimately, it is an occasion that you do INSTEAD of taking that cruise to Mexico. Her fans knew last year when she released the CD that she would be touring. I know many people had been saving since then. I paid $25 for my first Madonna concert in 1985 and $18 for my first Whitney Houston concert in 1986, and I had GREAT seats for both.

For what it's worth, Beyonce is not f*cking with your money. If such a thing as a $1,500 concert exists, she is giving it to you.

[quote] Not all of the Beyoncé haters are white. Trust me…

If you say so.

Obviously, most of the Beyonce hate in this thread IS racist, clearly denigrating her Blackness and her appeal to a Black audience.

R91 but gurl she do be takin yo muthafuckin monies.

snatchin that shit right up

R92 go to LSA

what r90 said, Beyonce probably has just as many black people as white people who dislike her and have so since she was in Destiny's Child all those years ago.

She thinks she’s better than project trash. She only slummed it with Jay-Z because he already made it. She is a big snob, probably worse in her attitude towards other black folks than some whites. She’s not coming to hang at the beauty shop with your auntie or showing up to the summer bbq.

She looks a little plump but still very good. And she still looks like Beyonce.

Liking Beyoncé shows your internal racism because you’re choosing to like her and give your money to her over other dark skinned artists. You’re going along with the white persons’ version of what a black person should be. Liking Beyoncé is racist.

An evening of “Queer” Black Music is not a $1,500 show.

Were all tickets $1500+? Doubtful.

And from what I’ve seen this is the finale, OP. Probably normal to be worn out after almost three hours of performing.

Was Mother serving cunt? Yaaasss!?

R98 r101

I don’t like her recent facelift.

R102

She definitely lost weight rapidly before this tour; she's done it before several times, like Janet Jackson did back in her day. But once you get over 40 your face and features may not correspond well and as quickly. Also, will she ever let of the blonde?

Anyway, Beyonce September 2003 vs September 2023 aint bad

The extent to which Taylor Swift has replaced her as the queen of pop is breathtaking.

Once again, the Beyhive has infiltrated the website. Anyone who criticizes their queen gets attacked. I’m sure some posters here do have a racist element in their opinion of her. That is fucked up. But a lot of us don’t like her because she’s overrated as a performer. I hate her stans because they are bullies and more than a little psycho. She’s not a good role model for black girls and women in general. Everything you see is created by her team. She seldom gives interviews, giving the impression that she is mysterious and diva like and won’t lower herself to speak to the media. The reality? She’s stupid af. She practices to death, which pays off to some extent I guess. And she and Jay-Z both have pulled shady shit behind the scenes, ripping off their acts and cockblocking their careers so they don’t overshadow Beyoncé. And don’t get me started on how they snatch songwriting credits by changing a line or word in a lyric. They are awful people. Every few months this comes up. I have no problem repeating myself when it comes to expressing my disdain towards her, her team and most importantly her stans.

R106 Beyhive are hanging on to the last thread. This is Beyoncé’s peak tour, it’s all downhill from here. Her music career peaked long ago. She might have a few hits along the way but she’ll never replicate Crazy in Love or earlier successes, she’s too old now and her time has passed.

R83 Don’t ever disrespect the Queen you low rent ho. What have you done for humanity. Oh that’s right not a dam thing.

I don't pay any attention to her but I'd be more entertained by Beyonce in concert than Taylor Swift. Which one is richer?

R108. The Queen got you cunts lying. Lemonade is biggest selling album of 2016. Her most critically acclaimed, influential albums are her last 3. She is the Glenn Close of music, only gets better with age.

R111 stay pressed, Hunty!

[quote] The industry wanted a new black vocalist to fill the void of Whitney.

I'd say she's more Janet Jackson than Whitney. Beyonce's solo albums never moved the amount of units like Whitney's did during her prime. Like Janet, Beyonce's music leans heavily into R&B/Dance with some Pop; also, she makes concept albums and uses samples across various genres like Janet. Interestingly, Beyonce's prominence as a solo artist came around the same time as Nipplegate.

Vocally she’s not worthy to use Whitney’s old maxipads…

R90 you aren’t wrong about that. For the first half of her career her biggest haters were other women black women. But as many of them aged and realize how fucked up this country is while recognizing this woman has maintained supreme success while also being drug free they had no choice but to respect her.

[quote] She’s not a good role model for black girls

With her blond, Rapunzel-like hair. Talk about appropriation and message she’s sending.

R113 Beyoncé’s first album was more contemporary r&b with splash of neo soul in the vein of Alicia Keys and Ashanti. The only dance r&b were the singles. It sold 6 million albums in the states alone. But you are correct she never really moved units like Whitney but also the mid aughts is when digital downloads and pirating really begin impacting artists. Not to mention the music buying public became more focused on singles rather than albums. B’day is much better than her trite first album. Though hearing the lighter tone she employed on Dangerously in Love is refreshing now 20 yrs later.

R113 Beyoncé sang the national anthem at the Nipplegate Super Bowl. I know she had to be pissed the next day that Ms all people talked about when she delivered this.

R115, everyone has a choice. This is the issue that I have with some of her fans. “You WILL LIKE HER BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO!”. Whatever reasons she got converts are their reasons. Black women were well aware of how fucked up this country is. Beyoncé hasn’t opened anyone’s eyes.

I sorta think she's adorable. I always have. Comes across as dumb as a box of rocks in interviews, but she's got charisma and enthusiasm and curves and a sparkly smile. She's like the head cheerleader at high school that you want to hate, but then she's really nice to you and she's funny and you're like "Damn it, okay, I like her."

And Beyonce can really sing. She can sing R & B. The good stuff.

I have nothing against this woman.

She's like this muscle of a human that's trained to do one thing. Her work ethic is just nuts. I do think age and children are catching up with her. It will be interesting to see how graceful she is about it.

R118, I had totally forgotten that she sang the National Anthem at the Nipplegate Superbowl! She did a great job singing it too. No, it wasn't Whitney (then again, no one will ever sing it as great as Whitney, so unfair comparison), but it was tastefully executed.

She's a technically skilled vocalist, no question about it. I just never cared for her tone, IMO. But one can't deny that she can sing. I just think her voice is one that was trained. It's not a gift that she already had but cultivated.

R122 Touché to each it’s own. It’s a running theme so I guess many find Bey’s tone off putting. With that being said her vocals were live; Whitney’s impeccable version was pre-recorded.

If Michelle Obama could be one person for a day it would be Beyonce. She is on record saying this.

Thighs aside... I can't believe people pay money to watch that.

How old are you, R125?

I'm 50 and I'm white. I don't own a single Beyonce or Destiny's Child album. But, if I weren't so hunkered down with work, I'd have considered going. Just for the spectacle and joie de vivire of it all. It's a big ole party.

It helps that I have the capacity to dance and have fun. I'm sorry you were born without that capacity.

Obligatory not r125.

I can see going to a Beyonce concert just for the pure spectacle of it all. I wouldn't pay the several hundred dollars for a ticket, but I definitely would go if it were cheaper and convenient.

There is something to be said for attending stuff like that and experiencing it live and in person.

That's true, R127. The insanely exorbitant cost of paying scalper prices for all tickets now because of the bots, keeps people away from experiencing a more broad spectrum of live entertainment these days. It's a shame.

r111 is that you Othello? 😆

Othelle, aka AWF troll, has been banned and is now under a different name. Can't remember what it is, but it's another famous black character from classic lit.

gurl these Renaissance tour outfits....

Oth*llo is all over this thread with its new account.

She’s very good. Don’t be a jerk, OP. Girl gotta pay them taxes though.

She has Tina Turner energy. Similar good voice but doesn’t shine with softer vocals. Not a criticism.

She probably has a prolapse from all that shriek staining

She hit virtually every note. That glissando at 0:53 was supposed to be a bit "off-key" to mimic an orgasm shriek. And her body is fine.

DL likes anorexic looking bitches. I, personally, like them beautifully thicc (not fat) [bold]exactly[/bold] like that.

Fight me.

And as someone else mentioned, that portion of the song is basically a rap flow. The "key" is supposed to be lazily hit.

Try this for size.

Poor old thunder thighs.

R98 You dumb ass stupid ass bitch. Always putting black against black, brown against brown. Same things whitey did during slavery. Trying to prevent progress and diversity.

Beyoncé’s favorite model is Naomi Campbell and her favorite actress Gabrielle Union.

I am NOT a Beyonce fan, but I thought that was a pretty cool clip.

Her and Gaga are the only two pop stars of the last 15 years with any stage presence and actual performing skills to speak of.

Why can't she sing without pulling all those hideous faces? Some of the weirdest expressions were between notes.

And it's oversinging. Very extra.

I like that she’s not taking herself too seriously and I think she looks great.

The best thing about that performance was the Satchmo impression at 20 seconds.

I wish that someone would tell me what Beyoncé is supposed to be queen of.

Of wigs, r146.

Queen of Grift and Career Cockblocking.

Christ, y'all have somehow made Beyoncé boring. Unfollowing.

Lets bring back Beyonce of 1999 🤣

I’m not a big fan. I like some of her music.

That said, she has a bangin’ body.

Her most memorable moment.

R150 That can’t be 1999, I’m just saying.

R152 I remember this…it was so obvious that the belly was fake and she was too stupid to pull it off. The fact that she got away with it almost made me believe that Illuminati bullshit.

She's a robot with zero emotion or humanity.

R154 It was not a fake belly you dumb cunts. She had on a body shaper that stretches and bends when you flex or sit up and down. Dumb idiots. Why the fuck would she fake a pregnancy. Would it make her less of a woman to say she needed a surrogate because she can’t carry to full term. The Queen is not the van nor stupid to fake a pregnancy.

R155 No humanity?

R156 her belly was about as real as her intellect. Not to mention your own…

R158 😂 Stay mad hater.

Beyoncé is a trained seal. With a lacefront.

I’m done here. The level of iq has diminished.

Never as low as Beyoncé’s IQ…

If only.

Y’all wanna stay saying the Queen is low iq because of her country drawl and the fact she wont ever clap back or respond to shit on social media. She’s brilliant. Beyoncé is mad self analytical like most virgos. She developed a complex because when she was with Destiny’s child the black community formulated this reputation that she was a big bitch. She just was particular. So she stop talking so much and chooses her words wisely. And the more famous she got the more self conscious she became.

She’s not smart enough to be self analytical…please stop.

I suspect your mistaking iq with having a highly demonstrative academic vocabulary.

R165 That is the most pretentious thing I have ever heard and makes you appear to have a lower iq than you most likely do. You probably are highly intelligent but very pretentious and arrogant which in actuality makes you not so intelligent.

R164, why do you play with these asshats?

They do this to EVERYONE:

Madge (who I ❤️)

Janet

Bey

It’s just how they are. I’m not a huge Stan of Bey’s, but she talented AF & I respect her grind.

Who give AF?

She certainly does not, I’m certain. Would you?

R168 You seem to have spare time. Use it to take an English/writing class.

Lol like a borg…either you like Beyoncé or don’t mention her name…the stans are nuts.

Sure, I made a bunch of typos, however, my English/writing is on point when I focus, so please fuck off.

TIA! 😘

TeaCake = Othello

I'm getting Janbot vibes.

R172 No I am not. Either way it’s none of your business.

She turned 52 yesterday.

R172 Just what we need, another illiterate with 2 accounts!

So authentic and natural 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

r177 gurl 😁

When has the Queen ever CAP’d about wearing weaves for styling, performances, and as a protective style. The answer is: NEVER

Beyonce has come a long way since those country, tacky-ass House of Deréon outfits Tina would put her in back in the day.

R180 A veryyy long way. She always been beautiful but some of that shit used to be ugly as fuck. When she got with Jay she stepped her fashion game up.

House of Deréon was a failure. Makes Baby Phat look like Chanel.

Tea cake like Mmmmm Hmmmm.

Time to dust off an oldie but a goodie…

My favorite

Vapid no talent.

Maybe she has Covid.

r184 a classic! 😆

R188 and her hair is a fool!

Even when I was young and hot I wouldn't have considered a Vegas-style stadium spectacle (all that awful pageanty stagewear!) featuring a good-enough singer singing okay songs, surrounded by boozy mom-dancing Karens and gaylings yas-queening worth money.

But whatever. Seems to be more about the communal experience than about music.

I was lucky to grow up in the 1970s hearing great singers like Karen Carpenter, Barbra Streisand, Toni Tenille. and others.

They were great singers in the 80s, great singers in the 90s, in the aughts, 2010s and presently. And there always will be great singers.

Stephanie, Phyllis, Angela Bofill, Randy, Pattis Austin and Labelle, Regina and Whitney. Rachelle Ferrell, too many to mention. All,far superior singers.

R193 But what’s a voice with no point of view.

Any ideas on how to foment a war between the Beyoncestans and the MAGAtts? Might be a good way to rid ourselves of both cults.

Good riddance!

R194 what point of view does Beyoncé have?

They deserve each other.^

Beyonce can barely put 2 words together when giving interviews.

I remember when ET or E! Network had her on the red carpet as a special correspondent…it was evident that she could barely speak properly. She sounded slow and “special”.

Yet she is worth a half billion dollars and didn’t come from fuck you money. Her point of view is black excellence and the uplifting of women. Nothing about the is woman comes across as dumb.

Would Michelle Obama really say she wanted to be a dummy if she had the choice to be any other person for a day? 😆

Bouncy thinks her princess Magel Mackeral exhibits inspirational leadership, so yah, dumb ass!

Homedumbing

Beyoncé is being controlled like a puppet, people. Get a clue. Her team decides what she should look like in her videos and onstage, at events. Other people are writing the songs that she sings. She follows instructions VERY WELL. If Stepford made hip wiggling hoochies, she’d be first off the line. I mean, I’m perplexed 🤔 by the fact that people can’t see this…we are living in a culture of cult worship and cult mentality. So sad. It’s funny sometimes but it’s mostly just sad 😞.

Can't stand how she sucks up to Meghan Markle. Breaking generational curses?

Bitch, please.

This will never get old.

I miss Wendy Williams. No one can shade celebrities like her.

R206 sometimes I wonder if some of these “illuminati mess” people got pissed at Wendy and decided to give her the Putin treatment

R204 You are a fucking idiot. That’s what you believe to be true so you recite like a puppet. Such a basic cunt. There are candid videos of her directing productions.

R206 And now that ho, who is hilarious and hella smart I’ll admit, is looking crazy in these streets while her team and ex husband steal her coins. Karma is a motherfucker.

Oooo gurl Teacunt got dat hot take!

Teacake…for brains 🙄 such a cornball you are.

Teacake she’d wipe you off the bottom of her shoe 😀

Somebody is mad 😂

Do you mean the one or two seconds at the start? I went to the show last wkend and she really is dancing and singing intensely for 2.5hrs, this is the second last song if I remember correctly so give her a break. She sounded amazing for the show I was really impressed, great show. And I’m not rly big into her, I got tickets very last minute on a whim.

The only other (pop) performer I’ve seen live that rivaled her vocally was Caroline Polachek (who sounded better live than on her album recording).

She’s got about as much brains as one of her lacefronts.

Does she use her influence with all the intense fans? I wonder the same about Taylor Swift. If they each basically said, "I'm not touring unless every one of you goes to vote democrat this election." I feel like they both have the influence to sway huge numbers of young voters. Do they do stuff like that? I don't follow either of them, really.

R216 Listen ho she tried.

R215, Oh dear.

I’ve tried to “get” her but I don’t. What am I missing? I feel the same way about Taylor Swift, who may be even worse.

She's boring and reductive. She'll be remembered but for all the wrong reasons.

R220. Nonsense. She might be the most iconic entertainer of all time. She is our national treasure.

R219 you’re not missing anything. Smoke and mirrors. And no small amount of autotune and camera filtering. It’s all about packaging. Just like Charlie Brown’s unfortunate Christmas Tree.

R222 Only the Queen doesn’t do auto tune. You have been dismissed. Go away now.

This thread is become much more rational now that I’ve blocked people.

R224 So basically you are a weak ho. Got it.

Poor Cupcake! So delusional!

[quote] She certainly does not, I’m certain. Would you?

For realz! Beyonce would be so spectacularly unbothered by the impressions and opinions of racist old queens she'd make Melania Trump look like Mother Teresa.

Bitch be fat! Trioncey!

Houston Seacow, indeed!

What's the story on her marriage to that fat, ugly fucker, Jay Z? I can't believe he's theone that cheats.

r230 he's fat too?😆 Jay is eleven years older than Beyonce and they started dating when she was only 19 or 20 in the early 2000s. I think it's a result of him getting her when she was very young, and Im sure her father would only want her to date someone who was already successful.

Id still love to know why her sister pummeled him in that elevator though. Beyonce further proved her robot like response

[quote] Id still love to know why her sister pummeled him in that elevator though.

As your rather tedious DL sisters love to say "fuck around and find out."

11 years is a hell of an age gap when the younger person is only 19 or 20. It's actually kind of sick.

A good thing Jay can provide for his wife and kids. Because he is world class fugly.

Obama liked her, she performed at both of his inaugurations.

The Queen is brilliant for standing stoic while her sister made a fool out of herself. The Queen is always aware of her surroundings and how the media likes to portray black entertainers as animalistic savages. Dam if she does dam if she doesn’t.

R233 There is nothing sick about it you overly conservative cunt. It’s all fake anyway because when u were 30 if you could pull a hot 19yr old you would. But you couldn’t.

I bet Obama knew that it would be dangerous to be critical of Beyoncé. Her crazy stans would never have tolerated this.

R238 Not so much dangerous but politically inconvenient. I mean Queen Bey is the most influential pop cultural figure in quite some time. Why isolate an entire fan base who believes in the same values.

R220 = Madonna

Hey, fuckfacecake, I've been capable of pulling hot guys older and younger than me, but ten years age difference in a long-term rship when one partner is 21 or younger is not appropriate or healthy. There's a power imbalance. That kind of age difference or more is fine once the younger partner reaches 25, but not at 21 or 19 FFS, and it doesn't surprise me you can't appreciate that given you're clearly off your meds again and arguing with everyone.

Oh, and you're blocked, cunt.

R241 is right.

The cunt mentioned is a serial poster using multiple accounts and is spewing threads like a sick dog spreading wormy turds.

It stays within a fictive range of responses in all its fake personas, and tries to do a passive-aggressive game in its responses.

We know what it deserves.

R241 Please take a writing class.

Was Beyonce doing too much?

R244 You tried

R243, right back at you. Yes, I've seen the grand total of two threads you started.

Your handle = just another sock puppet account of the easily triggered pederast.

She brings her shit show to Dallas tonight and the place is going berserk -- people spending absurd amounts of money they don't have to fanny around the concert in silver clothing, per Her Majesty Thunderthighs Stanky Hootch's mandate. What a load of CRAP.

Destiry's Child is trending...speculation of a reunion at the Houston show. It would only make sense

I enjoy the video of her falling down onstage.

She’s looked better. And I hate the outfit.

R247 Oh well bitch. Own you misery. She is a phenomenal talent bridging the gap between the Harlem Renaissance artistry and today’s pop esthetics all while deeply infusing black LGBT culture. It’s not our fault that you don’t get. It not even wrong that you don’t get it. It is wrong for you to bash others and a movement represent freedom, liberation, equality, and fun. Go away you sour puss.

-r251- You forgot to take your writing pill . . .

Beyonce? Phenomenal? Teeheehee.
