"It is hard to think of a recent album that feels more commanding and imperious than Lemonade, not just in its lyrics – where defiant woman-scorned wrath meets righteous social anger – but in its music. […] “Country, alt-rock, left-field electronics, hoary Jack White blues-rock? I can do the lot.” That seems to be one of its messages. […]
The sense of an artist being pulled uncomfortably in two opposing directions reached its peak with [I Am…Sasha Fierce]: one disc full of self-help-motto power ballads […] and another that suggested…a willingness to experiment – the percussion battery and oddly doomy minor chords of Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It), Video Phone’s minimal fusion of crunk rhythms, sampled groans, and needling synthesisers. […]
4 built on its predecessor’s more experimental aspects, and introduced the I-can-do-anything musical expansiveness that you hear on Lemonade. There were influences drawn from Afrobeat, dancehall and alt-rock; […] the Sleepy Jackson’s Luke Steele contributed the psychedelicised Philly soul of Rather Die Young." — The Guardian
yesterday I said MOVE might be my fave performance from tour but I’ve been on YouTube all day…AMERICA HAS A PROBLEM got me in a nasty chokehold right now!
The visuals, the outfits, the little waddle during the sample loop.
Hannah and Kyndall’s little bop across the stage, Bey and the twins dancing to the remix, the choreo during the chorus ESPECIALLY. The twins running off to scale those poles that lowkey scare me lmaooo, AND THE FACT THAT CHRIS RAN THAT SB50 CHOREO BACK?!
I haven’t kept up on Bey’s dancers for a long time. So going to see Bey at MetLife and wondering who her new dance captain would be, since Ash wasn’t on this tour, and to my surprise finding out Hannah was promoted!
Tbh I never thought I would see the day as a long time fan from glee to seeing her on MCWT and FWT and just being in all Bey’s projects. Truly proud of Hannah’s growth with Bey. I can’t believe it’s been 10 years! Like what! Where has time gone?!
Also Amari was literally so captivating! Was always trying to find her whenever she was on stage.
Isn’t it insane?! Mama has been working for Bey so long I’m sure she has tenure at this point 😭 it’s also a testament to her versatility and professionalism.
I really hope Amari sticks around for whatever Bey has planned next. She’s such a light 💕
My (Review? lmao) Thoughts about The
RENAISSANCE World Tour That No One Asked For
BITCH I WAS NOT OMFGGGGG
I am SO glad I stayed away from clips of the show (for the most part lol) truly made the experience extremely special. like this is really my GOAT. THEE GOAT. And I got to witness her live and in person for a second time. I'm sooooo grateful and hopefully I'll have another opprotunity.
BUT WE ALREADY KNOW SHE'S THAT GWORL SO IMMA FOCUS ON THE DANCERS!
Amari Marshall is a fucking STAR. That's all I could think whenever I saw her. Stage presense on 100000. She's impactful.
Les Twins were utilized very well! I haven't seen them dance much since i hung up my fangirl cape, lol, but their dancing felt soooo familiar and I really enjoyed them 🥰
DANCE CAPTAIN HANNAH DLAINE! Y'all like to try my girl, but I loved everything she was doing on that stage. She may look diferent next to other dancers, but those lines, technique, elegance, that CLEAN look makes her great and Bey's fave 🤭
Simone showed up and showed out for her hometown! Definitely took notice of that. Ai, Alannah, and Brianna really held it down like the OGs they are. Kyndall may be the baby on tour, but she definitely rises to the occasion! love ha. Trinity is so radiant! Truly. This is her first big gig and she's definitely not taking it for granted. a PROFESSIONAL. Lisa, Nerita, ans Aakilah are all sooooo STUNNING? Truly shook looking at the three of them. Ms. Aliyah Janell doeeeeees thiiiiiiiiis lmao she was eating it up!
The boys, Rob, Zavion, Jus, Konkrete held it dooooown. They were utiilzed so well, especially in comparison to the boys on OTR2, no shade chile 🙃
Darius is also VERY STUNNING. FACE. CARD. and he can dance his ass off some ppl really have it all 😌. I loooved watching Carlos lmao idk what is was but i always found him whenever he was on stage 💕💕💕 And Jonté! Male Beyoncé himself! an undeniable talent.
and a special shoutout to Cha Cha Balenciaga! ate that ball right on up!
BLUE IVY THEE CARTER. That is all.
As for the choreography, I love the direction Fatima took it in. I know there's been criticism over how much Bey is dancing, but I think its the perfect balance of dance and vocals. I don't feel like I'm missing anything. the choreo matches the vibe of the album, of the era perfectly.
MOVE is my fave choreo at the moment, but now that I can watch clips lmao, that might change! I just cant get that Move Your Body Girl/Free Mind mashup out of my head 😌
This was just me writing down my thoughts so I’ll always be able to go back and reminisce on how I felt. If you read this whole thing, just know...
