TEANUS 11,181 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 (edited) a 15 minute performance is a bit much.... Justin Timberlake had one that long last year :shrug: Edited August 22, 2014 by TEANUS British social ladies with upturned pinkies, glasses clinking // xoxoTEANUS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry 26,836 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 It's basically just a medley...with songs that happen to all be from one album This concept really is nothing new...although Trans Siberian Orchestra technically didn't have a medley, they performed a whole album live start to finish along with other songs I'm still excited to see what she does for the medley though So have many many many artists... The point here is that it's a televised award show, not a concert. Anyway, I don't think this would work very well unless the transitions were smooth and only like a line of some of the songs were sung as part of others. I don't really care for medleys where there is a new song every 30 seconds, but I'll be interested to see her perform regardless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinladen 1,474 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Boring. She should do her hits. She only has like four so that would actually be a good medley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikola 4,342 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Justin Timberlake had one that long last year and it was long and got boring (to me at least) I've got an "F" and a "C" and I got a "K" too And the only thing that is missing is a bitch like "U" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making something televised does not make it innovative. Are you saying that if TSO televised their concert performing the whole album back to back, that would be innovative? No...let's just say that was innovative; it would still be whether or not it's televised. Beyoncé doing the medley is not innovative...regardless of whether it was televised or not Why is this being labeled a "don't miss" performance? In all essence, it's a medley. That's it. It's what JT did last year. Is this suddenly a big thing because she's performing particular songs that happen to be on Beyoncé?

It's obvious that performing an album from start to finish isn't anything new, but it definitely IS a novelty because this one is gonna get broadcast live at an award ceremony. This has never happened before. It is a medley but it's a whole damn album, not greatest hits like JT did it. It means something, doesnt it?

This has never happened before. It is a medley but it's a whole damn album, not greatest hits like JT did it. It means something, doesnt it? It does, but not much. Instead of performing her hits, the ones that are more universally seen as good songs, she's taking a risk by performing an album that has great songs but not her best, and has some dull moments. I've listened to the songs and a lot of them have sections that sound totally different, such as Partition and Bow Down / I Been On. I find myself liking some sections more than others, so how will this translate onto the VMA's stage? "I'm the number one chick, I don't need no hype" - That may be, but just don't hype then. Everyone around her is hyping this performance because it's 'something that's never been done on stage before'. Well...this is like the lowest denominator of originality. It's still a medley, no matter how you turn it. All of the songs just happen to be on one album. Sure, it's interesting, but only by mere technicalities can this medley be considered a "never before done" thing. I love Beyoncé but I expected more. Hopefully the real surprises come with the performances themselves! Unless she thinks that this album medley idea is an excuse for the innovation of the night and doesn't do anything else, which would be a bit of a let-down. Her album release was innovative and prompted rumors of artists surprise-releasing album. This album medley is unique to her situation. The only way anyone will be able to do something similar to this is if someone receives the VMA's Video Vanguard award and then perform a medley of their album...which would be seen as a direct copy of this Beyoncé performance.

Vernier 3,786 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Not here for it tbh. Some songs don't need to be performed imo, especially if it'll just be for like 1min. Still looking forward to the performance tho :excited2: Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HANZ 4,380 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 (edited) but what about her last hits? plus it would be kinda boring since almost all the songs in BEYONCE are ballads Edited August 22, 2014 by hans94 My Favs = Lady Gaga, Janet Jackson, Ricky Martin, AKB48 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
