    THIS IS THE NERD OUT VIDEO I WAS LOOKING FOR!!! My favorite vocal part was the glissando Beyonce, Tanner Adell, Teira Kennedy, Rayna Roberts, and Britney Spencer did on 'arise'. Beyoncé is always gonna do it for me! 💖

      No fr. I literally learned to do a Jazmine Sullivan run because of how he broke it down visually

    Undeniably Beyoncé is the QUEEN! The performance was EXCELLENT, this is what excellence looks sounds acts like, all the other artist know it too!!! No other is doing this like this , she’s the QUEEN!!!

      SPEAK ‼️‼️‼️ The show and Beyoncé were absolutely FLAWLESS.
      I'll never get over her singing effortlessly while riding a horse. I don't think I've ever seen that done before.

    • @oneilgerald
      @oneilgerald  5 дней назад +3

      Excellence is the key word! Her shows are always well-structured and well-executed from top to bottom!!!

    So you all voted and 80% of you wanted ALL THE DETAILS, so here are all….ALL of my thoughts on the halftime show! 😂
    DEFINITELY my longest video to date. So long my computer kept crashing the file for nearly 12 hours! But we made it! 😮‍💨
    Thanks so much for watching and Merry Christmas/Happy New Year!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

    My thing is. How does she continue to outdo herself??? Seriously this was Coachella level & it was 13 minutes??? MIND. BLOWN omg

    • @c-anime23
      @c-anime23 22 часа назад

      From watching past concert documentaries Beyoncé has stated she watches previous performances of herself constantly so that she can continue to elevate her performances and never likes to do the same thing twice and is very analytical when to comes to every detail of her shows and live performances. I believe this is a large contributing factor to why her shows on an objective level are always better then the last

    Absolutely loved geeking out with you reviewing Queen Bey's exquisite vocal stylings.❤ So much beauty. Blackbird harmony at the end gave me goosbumps- it was like what you'd imagine heaven sounds like. So glad I'm on same timeline on this earth to experience Beyonce's incredible artistry. This performance is a Christmas gift that will keep on giving.❤

    I didnt notice blu in the previous song besides texas holdem, only because people trolled her for messing up yet fixing it. Funny how it goes to show people ignore your most praise worthy moments and look to tear you down. She did great

    • @Santiago-in1xf
      @Santiago-in1xf 5 дней назад +3

      I noticed her minor goof and how they removed that angle from the replays. I didn't comment on it on social media because it isn't necessary. Many of these folks who have jokes couldn't do the same routine. For all she did as a 12 year old, I can't hate on it. It was like three missed counts with a quick recovery.

  • @CajloTime
    @CajloTime 6 дней назад +17

    Small note: the first transition was actually from Blackbird into Freedom into Ya Ya. Subtle, but I LOVED that she included that.

    • @oneilgerald
      @oneilgerald  6 дней назад +1

      Ooooo!!! I didn’t even realize that! Great observation!!!

    • @rerebrook5057
      @rerebrook5057 6 дней назад +3

      I thought it was just me, I started to sing Freedom and my family looked at my like I was crazy 😂😂😂 then she transitioned to Yaya

    • @tonidiane6153
      @tonidiane6153 5 дней назад +2

      Yes!! Freedom was there. For a second I thought we were getting a full catalogue sample rather than just Cowboy Carter. I love that she can throwback to her own catalogue. Definitely one of one.

    The g5 is mixed. The audio and mixing was messed up on Netflix hence why you can’t even hear it..fan cams proves it’s mixed and powerful.

    • @oneilgerald
      @oneilgerald  7 дней назад +10

      Yup! A head-dominant mix!

    I am so happy to watch full on breakdown videos like yours, but I also think it would be super awesome for Bey herself to geek out and load the DAW up and show us what's up in production. Your thorough analysis absolutely does the job though thank you very much🙏

  • @CajloTime
    @CajloTime 6 дней назад +9

    I actually think the band/backing vocals at the end of Texas Hold Em were too loud in the final recording and drowned her voice. If you listen to the isolated vocals or the fan cams the last notes sound more like a heady mix that goes into head voice which is fucking impressive. How many vocal primes is my girl going to have? My gawd.

    • @oneilgerald
      @oneilgerald  6 дней назад

      It’s definitely a head-dominant mix!

  • @justinlocs
    @justinlocs 6 дней назад +2

    Amen for the analysis!!! I love going down the musical rabbit hole with you! This is probably my favorite Beyonce halftime performance she's done! Although, her 2013 performance is still a favorite on mine!

  • @fredkay7595
    @fredkay7595 6 дней назад +2

    A fabulous analysis of an amazing performance.It's so nice to see Beyonce analysed in an objective and subjective way.Brilliantly done and a blessed relief from the hate and bile I've been seeing since the performance that I simply don't get.Bravo !!! PS props to whoever arranged and choreographed the whole thing ❤

  • @Sreynocs
