Beyoncé

Having said that, it's not really commercial and I don't see it doing well, especially without a push.

This surprises me, as many people claimed it was so instant.
But this is exactly what I feared with all the previous praise: It’s probably not gonna live up to that.

Oh well, tastes are different, so maybe I’ll love it. Not sure about that predicted Oscar glory, though. Then again: There have been unexpected, if not questionable, wins in the past - so who knows.

He thinks XO is the best song her career, we’re good.

I actually like XO, so…
But then again: Best of her career? No.

I really like it, but I don't see it beating No Time to Die. Especially if it has Bey's post-4 single treatment.

The Oscars are for 007 songs. So forget about it.

If it sounds like Freedom and Black Parade, we're good. I just don't want derivative stuff, like Spirit, you know, songs that could be on Adele's 98 and have a sepia music video.

It's definitely better than Spirit! From the reviews, I expected something with hit potential though, so I thought it'd be best to adjust your expectations.

I love both Black Parade and Freedom, and I can't wait to listen to it again.

I am not sure if this is factually correct because only two 007 songs have won an Oscar. One being Adele for Skayfall which was a monster track and Sam smith won in a very very very weak year.


Beyonce is the favourite this year and the hive needs to start believing it. Will is fav for actor so they will be promoting both songs. Billie has an issue of having a song that is also two years old now and also the strong sonically is not that ground breaking in the Oscars sense.

It depends how the chorus sounds though. I think tbh she just needs a top 10 hit and not aiming for a shallow moment though shallow took a minute to take off

[Aaronsmithjune1]

Well, now you got me scared. Spirit is not a particularly good song.

Spirit is decent. The warmth @ emotion in her voice is absolutely beautiful on it

Now hey hey heey. The underlined xo shade isn't cute

I think the issue with spirit was lyrics within the prechorus and the chorus was actually not catchy


this one. Feeeeeel so good to be alive. The message is right timing with COVID19 etc

I hope I'm wrong. Bit the snippet isn't promising. I think had spirit been handled the same way it would've received the same praise.

Just heard the 2nd snippet. I think I'm wrong

[Beyon]

Damn with those snippets.
i heard a few seconds from one and stopped because it's not how I want to hear the song.
Just release it already

[Aaronsmithjune1]

Ok. The intro does nothing for the song. It's soooo good. It's not pop at all. It might actually win that oscar

[spiritboy]

I do think they'll give the Oscar to James Bond song.

[KEY9481]

I dont care about an Oscar BUT a nomination means a performance and THAT I want.

Lol at you doing a 180 based on mere seconds of a song.

I’ve heard 4 snippets, but I can’t judge based on those ultra-short, low quality tidbits. I don’t think they give a clear picture of the song at all.

"Best Thing I Never Had" little resurgence. I'm guessing TikTok?

[KEY9481]

[DnBLover]

The number of users on Spotify has been increasing steadily but still its impressive how big Halo is.

[Beyon]

Adele doing everything right promo wise is getting me thirsty and upset

Truly a classic.

I'm genuinely surprised "Irreplaceable" isn't becoming a truly classic next to "Halo" & "Crazy in Love". I really thought it was gonna be THE classic but I guess I was wrong. #BringFullIrreplaceableBackOnTour2022

[Artoo]

Irreplaceable should be a timeless classic but maybe it isn’t because instead of packing Jay’s stuff in the box to the left, she let him stay.

[KEY9481]

Irreplaceable was a juggernaut in the US, but nowhere near the IASF singles in other territories.
The fact that she has not performed it since 2013 is not helping either.
