She needs to avoid stadia
Along with Rhianna and many others who are deluded
Terrible let down
Left half way through
The show does now flow at all
Horrible gaps and silence clumsy choreography with dancers just walking off stage casually after a vigorous number
After lauding her so much
I take it back
Excellent singer and dancer
Just does not connect in a venue this large and the show has hardly had any effort expended on it either
Nothing like a Madonna show
And it reeks of a sad time for live music
Also I don't think God wants to see her not insubstantial arse in a tacky gold leotard
As she proclaims she cares what he thinks so much

I stuck it out. It didnt improve. A stadium for a solo artist is a MASSIVE ask It's no discredit to Beyoncé I have see her in arena and she is enthralling Even Madonna struggles in big venues But you need a band to make a stadium show A solo artist needs spectacle Legions of dancers and innovation Madonna does something different with her songs every tour To pique interest And her dancers are often worthy seeing alone But there was none of this tonight It was so upsetting Had a lovely view but most of the songs were truncated to the extent they were meaningless I feel so hopeless That even the current flavour of the month and biggest artist in the world can't deliver the goods |

The truncating of songs seems to be an infuriating r and b/hip hop thing.
An arena show with her playing the full songs would be far better

An arena show with her playing the full songs would be far better As I said It's our mistake for seeing a stadium show Even sticky and sweet (Madonna) was a sore let down And I still think Beyoncé at the O2 was the best concert I have ever seen Touching unexpected Vocally outstanding And moving |

Context is everything.
Where did you see this?
On Thursday, on my regular walk home from the theatre, I had to struggle through the Beyonce fanthrong emerging from the Principality Stadium.
Then the next night, on the same walk home, I had to struggle through the victorious Wales v Belgium Euro crowd emerging from the Coopers Field Fanzone.
The Beyonce fans were much more pleasant and civilised.

Wembley stadium She is stupid Beyoncé Could have sold out 6-7-8 nights at O2 Instead of a 2nd NOT sold out night at a sports venue The Beyoncé fans are about 20 years old They buy her clothing line Made in China and with logos stamped on the front Their mothers and fathers paid for their concert ticket As they themselves earn the minimum wage And will always rent a property And have no ambition That's likely why |

Im not sure this current show would work in an arena even, the previous tour was brilliant.

Yes at her last tour left feeling all warm and cosy It was almost like a musical the way she engaged with the audience connecting with each and every audience member like it was the old school "evening with" and many people were crying |

Even the visuals were pathetic
No proper effort to tie any of the show into a coherent whole
On a plus note
The staff at Wembley Stadium are AMAZING
Really friendly and professional
It's just a shame so many people are involved
For such a sh*t show

I thought the set as a whole was lacking. It didnt scream out stadium spectacular at all and if it was meant to knit together as a show it failed.

I'll also give you a clue: it's not through lack of ambition either. |

I wouldn't go to see ANYone at a stadium. I don't care who it is, I think it's completely pointless.
Sticky and Sweet was fabulous in the arena but I suspect that was because we were at the front. We were near the front for Rebel Heart too but of course she decided to play much of the show on the heart stage behind our backs. And being hearded into pens where you're not allowed to move 4 inches outside of your designated seat space (which you've paid a large amount of money for) by miserable security staff who obviously don't like music
The whole arena/stadium gig things hugely depressing I think.
Beyonce is at the Etihad in Manchester tomorrow. Happy to not be there. Families eating chips. Yuk.

Agreed! I have a fairly low tolerence of large arena gigs, but make the exception for people I really love. But statium gigs? no thank you! I really don't see the appeal of sitting so far away all you see is a dot, and all you hear is the crowd around you tunelessly belting out the songs rather than the artist you paid to see.
Then there's the general chaos of getting in and out-most of Cardiff city centre was shut down for the gig, utter chaos!

Confessions at Wembley Arena was AMAZING The whole concept, music and space worked so well Yes Sticky and Sweet was also fabulous in the O2 but not at Wembley Stadium |

I was within 20 metres of the stage with loads of space all around And I still was not impressed She just does not have what it takes to ignite a crowd that big She seemed pathetically small in fact in so many ways Mainly because the production values were abysmal |

I'll also give you a clue: it's not through lack of ambition either. I refer to the attitude that people nowadays think that spending £100 upwards on a concert ticket is appropriate when this probably amounts to the best part of their daily pay |

Fair enough Parsely (on both posts you quoted me in, too messy to try and quote back at you)
Personally not much of a Beyonce fan so couldn't comment on whether she was better or worse this time around!
And I get where you're coming from re: ambition etc, even if I don't entierly agreee. BUT please do point me towards the minimum wage job (or any job) where I might earn upwards of £100 a day!

I quite liked it despite not being much of a Beyonce fan. It helped standing at the front though, I don't know what it would have been like seated far away. I liked the giant video cube and water dancing though the plywood boxes looked somewhat low rent.
I do agree that she doesn't make the best use of her big hits though. Madonna reinterprets them while someone like Tina Turner, who was great in stadiums, embraces them while Kylie sits somewhere in between. By contrast Beyonce just throws them away.

Who can forget the amazing versions of Vogue and Music from Sticky and Sweet As well as the mashups she did on Confessions again of Music and Future Lovers |
