There’s just something about Beyoncé, okay? I just really love her and I want everyone to know how much I love her. So if you thought I was lying when I said I could go on forever about this Beyoncé concert then congratulations, you played yourself.
I didn’t want to have to do this honestly. I didn’t want to write another article about how amazing the Formation World Tour was, but I couldn’t help myself. It was just so amazing and she did so much. My edges are gone, but I’m still here so that’s all that matters right? I mean who needs edges anyway?
It was a normal day, the day I realized I needed to write a part two. I was listening to “Love on Top," and then I remembered. I remembered something that I couldn’t believe I had forgotten to mention, something so incredible, so memorable, I don’t know how it slipped my mind. I remembered something so awe-inspiring, and then that’s when I knew. I knew I just had to write a part two.
During the concert, Beyoncé, sang the chorus of “Love on Top” acapella. Acapella as in there was no music for her to sing with. Acapella as in THIS GIRL HIT ALL 4 OF THOSE KEY CHANGES IN “LOVE ON TOP” WITHOUT ANY MUSIC. I sang —
well, attempted to sing — along, voice cracking and everything. All I can say to Bey for hitting those notes is: Yas. Yas. Yas. Yas. And by “yas” I mean Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas….and then some.
And then after remembering that phenomenal performance, I started thinking more about the concert and missing it more. I admire the way Beyoncé transitions into other songs. My favorite transition (even though you had to see it coming) was her going into “Countdown: all the way from...
“Hold up.”
If you’ve listen to “Hold Up,” then you know that there is a part in it that has almost the same exact instrumentals as the beginning of “Countdown” which makes “Countdown” the most perfect song for Bey to go into after “Hold Up.” Genius. But I honestly would have been slightly disappointed if she didn’t go into “Countdown” after “Hold Up,” but she did so I wasn’t disappointed. That’s impossible too by the way — to be disappointed at a Beyoncé concert. It just doesn’t happen.
It was actually really funny during “Hold Up” because Beyoncé had given the mic to someone in the audience to sing this one part, and the person didn’t just sing it, but she screamed it. Like she was angry. She was so angry that Beyoncé even looked a little shocked/surprised at the anger that came out of this girl’s mouth. Here’s the verse that the girl in the audience was singing, and I’ll let you fill in the blank which part she screamed with anger.
“I don't wanna lose my pride, but I'm a [insert lyric]. ”
I can’t blame the girl for reacting the way she did though, because if Beyoncé ever gave me the mic at one of her concerts who knows how I would react.
Actually I would probably react close to something like this:
But let’s get back to the topic of transitions and talk about how Beyoncé transitioned from “Blow” to Vanity 6’s “Nasty Girl” I’m glad I didn’t see that one coming because it just made it that much better. I think that transitions are a vital part in any performance, because you want it to be smooth and make sense to the audience. Beyoncé is a master at this and I and I applaud her for it.
It’s easy to conclude that I just really want I could re live the Formation World Tour and I am sad that it is over. Maybe one day I’ll get over these post-concert blues, but I doubt it.
