the internet has taught me to be quiet more. it’s like everyone is yelling and no one is listening. — it’s always opinions and dialogue on things without full context, countering arguments for things that were never said …and most importantly not anyone’s business.
i think my favorite thing here is her going from all the amazing affirmations …to standing on business. they actually go hand in hand. stop playin’ wit people.
lmfo not everyone just realizing it too — this had to have been a matthew move. lol // also while we discussing beyonce and dreamgirls. - i know deena the character was supposed to be the “softer” singer but ‘listen’ is probably the most vocally difficult song in that movie.
he basically says "black folks (and their stories that are being absued by hollywood) aren't a monolith" ...and people responding talking about respectability politics, and callin' him all types of names. - the internet doesn't read, doesn't listen ...does not comprehend. got…
the only reason some people think pro-black has ever meant anti-white is cause they all know historically pro-white has always meant anti-black, and anti anything that ain’t white.
y’all ever go thru seasons where you just wanna be quiet? like so exhausted you legit wanna hibernate. not super friendly, don’t wanna be out or seen etc.?
gifting your vulnerability to the wrong person will have you blaming vulnerability not the person. and then you wanna cut the one gift off that you actually need.
i know beyoncé, mariah or usher can’t really do a verzuz ...they don’t really have a competitor ...but can they do ones by themselves. i just wanna see them go thru their catalogue.
the way people jumped from stanning lizzo to degrading her is the definition of fame. put you on a pedestal only to take a bat to you. scary man. - ain’t her fault she having a good year. “for every win, someone must fail....” whitney told y’all the rest.
first off, sing! — but too i’m just thinking about how it felt for tia. granted this is beyoncé …but as an entertainer …for your birthday you are helping people escape …like we really survive so much bs everyday …and this one moment… the bs don’t matter
will be mimicked forever but there will never be another. created a sound that lives on thru so many other artists. her voice alone ...brings me so much peace. i could go on and on.
seeing jazmine perform after the grammy win—different. she was crying from gratitude, cause you could tell the idea of a win like that, she put on the shelf. even for the otherworldly talented l, it’s hard. but if you don’t quit, God really do spin the block. extremely inspired.
jazmine said, “i feel like breakups teach you a lot about love, because you learn to love better …whether it’s yourself or somebody else. so maybe in that way, a song about heartbreak, is really a love song.”
i always look for alternative endings to this song cause she gon sing a song a million times and they’ll never be exactly the same lol …what a gift, man
try your best to heal from rejection, so your careers’ successes don’t turn into a revenge tour. - not everyone was sleeping on you. timing and seasons are important to understand. humility got you there and it will keep you, if you let it.
