Beyoncé

[BeeBoy]

I really wanna know why these "insiders" only talk out of their ass is clout really that important?

[Omiros]

should have remembered what she said in the vouge interview about taking time off and focusing on family.

Well she had time for 4 Ivy Park drops, so a performance at the Grammys as the most nominated artist of the year doesn't sound farfetched.

[Artoo]

I mean... if she’s not onstage it could mean a pre-recorded thing

[Omiros]

Five of the categories she's nominated in are going to be announced during the pre-show. Only three categories she's in will be televised:

Best Rap Song
ROTY
SOTY

Considering all three are the ones she's least likely to win, she might not want to have gone for no reason again.

[Aaronsmithjune1]

Lol

[Aaronsmithjune1]

Everything is love is such a good album.















Besides 7/13

[lmca1990]

Imagine if she does perform and the man who did the interview basically said that because of the NDA she made him sign

[Omiros]

I doubt that. They wouldn't have commented on it at all.

Adele's camp is quiet too so I get the duet rumour isn't true either.

I still think it's true it's around for years already just like the joint album rumor. It's just not coming this week and is not linked to the Grammys and might not be the lead but it definitely exists somewhere

[KEY9481]

it definitely exists somewhere

Yep.

Spoiler!

[spiritboy]

I'm glad they've cleared the air about King not performing. I also don't believe Adele duet, never believed it. I guess we'll have new Beyoncé album in 2022.

[Omiros]

To be honest I don't blame her if she skipped out of spite. She was snubbed for AOTY twice despite being the clear frontrunner, and both EIL and Homecoming were expected to be nominated for AOTY but looked over less deserving albums. I get that EIL was DOA because they didn't bother promoting it, but Homecoming's shut out last year was shocking.

She keeps getting slack for being overrated because she's one of the most Grammy nominated artists, but she's only won a third of them, and that number becomes significantly lower outside of the R&B categories.

[KEY9481]

Now for a bigger slap in their face...

...show up and perform there

The Inside Story of Beyoncé's "Black Parade," the Most Nominated Song at the 2021 Grammys

As Beyoncé told fans on June 19, 2020, "'BLACK PARADE' celebrates you, your voice and your joy." And on Sunday, the celebration will continue at the 2021 Grammys.

Since its release on Juneteenth, the song has served not only as an anthem, but also as a charity single with proceeds going to the BeyGOOD Black Business Impact Fund. "I hope we continue to share joy and celebrate each other, even in the midst of struggle," she wrote on Instagram after announcing the song's release. "Please continue to remember our beauty, strength and power."

It became the singer's 40th top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and now it's the most-nominated track at the 2021 Grammys, earning nods for Song of the Year, Record of the Year, Best R&B Performance and Best R&B Song—making Beyoncé the leader of the nominee pool this year with nine nominations total.

The song's success and reception amid the coronavirus pandemic and Black Lives Matter movement was, as one of the single's songwriters Rickie "Caso" Tice put it to E! News, "kind of unreal."

"To not be able to see the real-life response, only online was kind of strange, but it was still so powerful that it touched so many people," Caso exclusively told E!. "It was definitely like a light that I know we personally needed, but I think the whole world needed, especially at that time."

Together with her partner, fiancée Kimberly "Kaydence" Krysiuk, the couple proved to be a match made in songwriting heaven. "We wrote a couple of songs and we were like, 'Wow, we are really good at this together,'" they shared with E! News. "I honestly think the whole Beyoncé album is what kicked us off working together full-time because we were like, 'Damn, if Bey approves of us, we must be doing something right.'"

Along with other collaborators, the two were ultimately credited on "Black Parade" as well as The Lion King: The Gift's "Keys to the Kingdom." As Kaydence recalled, "I had a couple of mutual friends that worked with some of [Beyoncé's] executives, so that's kind of how I got into the same....orbit as the queen. There was actually a particular song that Caso and I both worked on together that ran across her ears and that's kind of what got us involved with the Lion King-inspired album."

So, what was it like working with the one and only Beyoncé? "She had very, very specific notes of what she was trying to accomplish," Caso described, "because obviously she's perfection, so she's super detailed."

As for the song itself, the music conjured up images of a royal procession early on in the process. Kaydence remembered, "Caso actually said, 'Hey, this sounds like a parade.'"

Chimed in Caso, "'Can't you see her just like on some elephant or something ridiculously fabulous with all her jewels and everything?' and it just kind of started like that...She was so specific about wanting to make the album celebratory and so honest to her roots and empowering and just like, 'We are all royalty.'"

While they were working on several different ideas at the time, "This one was just so majestic," Caso said, "we had to flush it out and see what it would become."

Ultimately, it was "the most enjoyable experience" for the pair, made even sweeter by the Grammy recognition—which they found out about over text while waiting at Starbucks. "I was literally kicking the dashboard because I was so excited," Caso described, "and we told the barista at the drive-through window."

I think many of us was excited for her comeback. But her going ghost from music for the next 12 months is the best decision.

[Omiros]

Now for a bigger slap in their face...

...show up and perform there

The more I think about this, the more I want it to happen.

A Black Parade performance or even BIK medley would be sublime.

[Aaronsmithjune1]

if Taylor wins another AOTY trophy I'm gonna need Beyonce to stop submitting. Then I'll need a tour interlude of her smashing her Grammys.

[Aaronsmithjune1]

The Beyonce and cardi snippet. Yup yup

[aang]

Okay maybe I Am... The Clown. Sorry y'all for hyping us up for the GRAMMYs. I'm gonna take the L this weekend.

And yes, a performance at the NAACP Awards would be awesome! I do wish major black & POC artists like her, Rih, The Weeknd, Kendrick, etc. would pay attention more to lesser award shows that consistently show them lots of love every single time like the NAACP, BET & Soul Train Awards etc. instead of just focusing on the major ones.

Also not a fan of the new snippet, but then it's only like what? 6 seconds?

It's a everything is love song. I'm a clown yet again

[aang]

Oh okay so apparently "Feeling Myself" was originally a solo Bey track. No wonder she loves performing it live.

I mean it's obvious to me with the lyrics. I truly hope she would retire the bragging and the trappy-DJ Khaled leftover-sound for her next era. I'm tired of it honestly.

You heard the other leak? She's singing over Jays Bam. sound like I heard it before though

[Aaronsmithjune1]

The 2nd issa no for me. She did right by giving it to Jay, because her murdered that song
