zakariah 11,722 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 the thing is, spirit isn’t even a commercial song, it was never meant to be a hit I think I feel like beyoncé has hit a plateau artistically, she’s just not going anywhere creatively now. If LEMONADE was her peak, then this is somewhat the downfall, and don’t be mistaken, I love her, I just view things realistically Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If LEMONADE was her peak, then this is somewhat the downfall, and don’t be mistaken, I love her, I just view things realistically I think musically The Gift is unlike anything she's ever done but it's true that the way she presented it almost seemed like they were outtakes from Lemonade. The music video for Spirit literally looks like a Lemonade film outtake She's selling her stuff predominantly to young African-American women now. It's bound to have an effect on the rest of her public. I don't think her public image is affected but I think you're right that people are not that instantly hyped by a Beyoncé release anymore. It's not that the quality of her work is declining but I feel like a lot of people are just like "it's not for me". I mean, she's literally releasing a song about how melanin in your skin makes you beautiful She appeared at the Superbowl with Black Panthers symbols She's just rebranding herself. She's a mom trying to raise kids, she probably doesn't give a **** about pleasing the masses anymore. So I can't help but laugh at the people who are still trying to talk about her career as if she's playing the "please buy my single" game of any basic pop star.

Like... If you wanna prove that critics praise her automatically you need to point to critics scores, year-end lists of music publications, etc. etc. Not point to the least credible awards to back up your point I respect your opinion, obviously. But saying critics overrate her is a debatable factual claim and I've perfectly laid out why it's not objective. If all you can bring to the table is two Grammy's that were given to her purely because she dominated the charts that year, then... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Adarsh Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 28 minutes ago, Didymus said: Good god, I didn't though, don't take one sentence out of context I'm not saying they're comparable, just that they're both side projects and that anyone who thought they would slay the charts were delusional from the start. That's the only basis of the comparison. So either read my posts correctly and discuss them or don't mention them at all First of all, did I quote you? no right? so you don't get to tell me what I can or cannot mention And second of all, no one in their right mind thought that TIHTY would chart while the Beyhive was more than confident that "Beyonce"s Lion King soundtrack would outsell ASIB soundtrack in mere weeks. I can show you countless tweets as proof. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GABEL 1,853 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 this is beyond underperformance.... even if people don't care about this album, it doesn't change the fact that this is a commercial failure I mean come on, an Beyonce album full of original songs only sold 11,000 in the first week? it's not normal for her standard and her fanbase should be stronger than this it doesn't mean she will flop with her next project but it truly shows her power declines a bit comparing with her previous albums.
