Interpretive songs you can discuss and explore and debate about for years on end are the best kind cause they're always refreshing and you can always dig for a new angle!
Speaking of reinvention over in the Madonna thread, perhaps one day Bey could do a 360 with I Miss You and make it into a sexual number about vying for her lover sexually, really make a spin on it about love and missing that intimate side of love! I highly doubt she would given our interpretation of the song's meaning but just a thought!
Here's to 5 being progression from 4 and a smash! I reckon 4 on the chart side of things would have fared better if Bey had more time to get accustomed to her new management etc, cause normally she does huge promo trails, especially stateside, she is on every talkshow performing, talking, she is literally everywhere - I'd love that Bey Domination to be taken across the globe, get her promoted more everywhere. I can't help but feel the UK has only properly started to appreciate Bey and her talent properly with 4, she's converted the UK so much with Glasto and the ITV special, just take that US style domination here and we'll be in the palm of her hands!
totally, itd be an ode to her as an artist how she can reinvent meanings tbh and styles.
And totally that glasto really opened me up to her like the first time i have ever seen her! very powerful stuff indeed. And yeah the UK with IASF had so much success tbh i think that 4 benefitted the platforms and has become her second biggest selling album here with over half a million sales i think
I know she's recording the album now, but I don't think it will actually be released until late next year as she's not going to have time to promote it before then. She starts filming for A Star Is Born soon which will take quite a few months. That will be released next year and she'll have to do the promo circuit for it. Then there's that other film she's doing. She also said she'll be touring with 4. I'm wondering if she will maybe start the tour next year and then when it's finished, release the new album straight after...would be good publicity and then she could do a huge promo circuit for album 5 like she did for Sasha Fierce. The Sash Fierce album was dragged out for like 2 years before she went on tour with it, so I think she'll do that with album 5.

The album was released in November 2008 and she went on tour the following March.
Beyoncé is allegedly working with Sia and the Cataracks. I wonder what on Earth this could signal? It won't totally be a safe album as Kanye and Hit Boy are on board so she'll still be staying true to her R&B roots and hopefully doing something progressive from 4. Interesting. Sia is an instant win for me!
The xx want to work with Beyoncé! That would be really cool, they'd create a great few tracks for Bey.
Also Beyoncé will be on the season premiere of the Anderson show on the 10th of September. I think it's just a general talk/attempt to get Anderson some good ratings but who knows what they could talk about? Perhaps Bey will tease about album 5 which would be nice, but I reckon she'll just talk about how she found working for World Humanitarian Day and the films.
Wow, 31 already! I can't believe it's a year since she released 4, discussed being 30 and teasing about her pregnancy already! Doesn't feel like a year, doesn't even feel like a few months...whoa. Time is flying so ridiculously fast :cool:

Hopefully she had a great day
I know so much has happened the past year. Time goes so quick doesn't it.
I watch her Glastonbury set the other day. She needs to hurry and return. I need some new killer performances in my life :cool:

Same! We'll probably see some pics of her tomorrow on a yacht or in some fancy restaurant in Europe (she seems to like doing these things on her birthdays lol).
Awww I wish they'd put the whole Glasto set on DVD so I could take it with me everywhere.
Absolutely, Beyoncé is very quietly cooking up that 5th album, but I want her to perform again so badly. She teased the Revel shows ages ago but we got nothing since? Maybe she's planning to release a Live at Revel DVD for Christmas time to keep us going until the New Year.
Bey holding back until 2013 is a very wise move given all the artists who have made/are making returns this year. Leaves the lane wide open for Bey domination :cool:

Yeah I could see why they'd keep the Revel DVD till the end of the year (if they ever do release) to give the fans something while we wait for new music. It'd definitely be on my xmas list. . I wish they had the glasto set on DVD too, even my mum said that lol
It's going to be really interesting to see what direction she'll take with the next album, her voice suits so many genres. I wonder what a song with her and Calvin Harris would be like? Some people would say she's selling out if she was to to a dance song with him, but Bey doesn't really have many dance/electro songs I'd be happy for her to experiment with that.
'4' critically will be a hard album to top I think. It may not have sold as well as previous albums, but it seems to have more critical acclaim than the others.
I keep forgetting she'll be filming a few films like A Star Is Born and Epic, but I wonder if she'll record her album during those projects or after? I just really hope we get a new album next year.

4 is going to be a major challenge to top criticially. I know what you mean about Bey and dance. So many of her fans will automatically attack her and say she sold out, but I think if she experiments and its promoted heavily with bad ass performances and amazing videos then she should win over some people who have doubts. I'd like Beyoncé to work with Switch and Diplo again. She was rumoured to already be in discussion with the Cataracs who are known to be quite urban-dance (Bass Down Low) so perhaps she is considering moving into this direction? Sia is one of her song writers (Titanium, Wild Ones) so she can help Bey release a quality track or three.
I'd like there to still be some progressive R&B on the new album with a throwback to the 80s and 90s Frank Ocean/Azealia Banks style (the production not the rapping although Bey isn't too shabby at spitting a few lyrics ).
Strictly one ballad though, I feel the next album should be 6 up tempos, 6 mid tempos and 1 ballad. If there was anything wrong with 4 was that there wasn't enough up tempo's for me. I love up tempo Bey :cool:
I was exactly right about Bey celebrating the birthday in Europe on a yacht! Hahahaha how predictable! She looks really good though even though she has no make up on and is just lounging around in a jumper! Blue is adorable as well!

You can make your own DVD if you know where to download the footage
The entire Glastonbury set is on YouTube in full and all in one video. You can rip it from YouTube and put it onto a DVD. I want the Revel DVD though!! I'm fed up of watching YouTube clips of it! I want Schoolin Life live!!
Beyoncé is currently busy endorsing Obama's re-election campaign. She posted a picture of the countdown to the election on her Facebook page and she looks absolutely flawless. This woman can do no wrong!
I've only just now finished listening to 4 in its entirety, all the way through without stopping! I'd never done that before. When I first tried to listen to it, I really was ambivalent - nothing really grabbed me apart from Love on Top (my favourite song of hers I think, I'm a sucker for key changes) but a couple of months later and WOW - such a great and underrated album. I wonder whether other people had the same first impression as me? On first listen, I think 1+1 as an album opener can be a bit underwhelming, but I love it now! I also particularly liked Start Over and I was here.
Can't wait for new music, go B
Beyoncé is such a TEASE! On her official website's main page there's a backdrop of a video of her appearing/reappearing in a studio with lyric sheets...she's working her ass off on the new music! I'm so excited. Queen B is ready to sting!
Have you all seen Bey perform at Jay Z's Brooklyn concert last night? She performed Diva, Crazy In Love and assisted in closing the show with a beautiful duet of Forever Young, she looked, sounded and danced fantastically in all of her performances.

This + her dropping out of a star is born is a sign of an album and a tour in the near future

Yes! Definitely cooking up a new album and tour. Logistically if B is eager to get out on the road, A Star is Born would only obstruct her plans. If she's hungry to launch new music at us, I'm more than ready! I cannot freakin' wait. I hope the Revel show will be our Christmas treat to keep us happy. I'd appreciate a CD/DVD type release so I can jam along to quality versions of the show.
Anika, I tried to find a blu-ray but as far as I can see, there's only the DVD version!

Exactly because she would only have one project to do outside her music which is Epic The Movie. It's an animation movie so it would take her maximum of two days to put her voice in.
I really can't wait for the album, and she will definitely support it with a tour. I would love an uptempo album next.
Thanks for the replies guys. I will get the DVD then. It would have been nice on blu ray though. I've seen parts of it on youtube and it looks like a good show.
Edit: I notice I called it live at Rosewood instead of Roseland. Think I have been watching too much pretty little liars;)

Roseland is only on DVD x
Edit: I notice I called it live at Rosewood instead of Roseland. Think I have been watching too much pretty little liars;)
Roseland is my least fav DVD. I kinda liked the backstage clips more than the performances to be honest maybe because of the belly she had on her.
Beyonce needs to release the Revel concert on DVD. Now that's what I call a Beyonce show. Amazing concert.
This one just owns on so many levels
