Hmmm, girlies, I'm a bit conflicted on this one. The pros? It slaps, for one, and y'all know I love a bop! This shit has currently got me duckwalking at midnight in my bedroom and I hope my neighbors are enjoying the show. Another positive is the title makes me think of Robyn's Stars 4-Ever - another bop! Wow! And, just to fill out the rule of threes, it's kinda fun that this has, like, 20 different credited writers. Seriously. Look it up! And DJ Khaled produced it?! Do you think Beyonce secretly removed all his ad libs?

My only real issue with the song is the continued narrative of Bey and Jay dunking on the poors, which in this election cycle just leaves me feeling low-key weird...? Am I reading too much into this? Between the Jay NFL shit and Bey carrying a billion-dollar diamond-studded clutch to a charity event and all kinds of other shit, it just...I don't know. Beyonce should celebrate her successes and is certainly entitled to do so, but when is it enough, sis? What's next? Endorsing Buttigieg? There are other ways to embarrass the haters, and besides, do you even have haters anymore? Tucker Carlson probably split open his khakis dropping it low to this track.

But whatever, we all know Beyonce could spit on me and call me trash and I'd probably just say thank you, so instead of any of the above I'll just whine that this goes on a little too long and then I'll go back to shimmying.

Apologies for that baby's-first-photoshop mess of a cover that looks more like you're looking through a 1970s glass door instead of through, you know, water, (get it?!) but it's past midnight here and we do what we must. 'twould appear quite a few of you were deeply triggered by two words that struck fear into the hearts of most BPG 2018 voters:

"Pharrell Williams."

In response, well...

Y'all saw "(feat. Pharrell Williams)" and floored it.

An evergreen post.

29 isn't shabby for this, really. It's very repetitive and it's short, two things that not only always lower BPG scores, but also are why I didn't enjoy my date with @matthew. Plus, since she doesn't come in later, this feels less like a Beyonce song and more like a Beyonce feature. At this stage, these tracks are eking out wins by thousandths of points, and songs like H2O aren't the ones that will squeeze out the extra 10s and 11s needed to rocket up a bunch of spots. Damn, couldn't even toss Pharrell a bone for finally managing to not chirp and sheesh all over the instrumental? You petty, parched whores.

Drip-drip-dripped in gold
Quick, quick, quick, let's go
Kiss me and take off your clothes

Imagine a world like that
Imagine a world like that
We go like up 'til I'm 'sleep on your chest
Love how my face fits so good in your neck
Why can't you imagine a world like that?
Imagine a world

For me, imagine is honestly up there with ghostin’ as one of her saddest songs.

"WATER" could've done better.
The verses are awesome and remind me so much of another song that I can't put my finger on. It has too little of Bey for me, but very enjoyable listen overall.

Yikes, losing my 11, Friend, and WATER in the last couple culls is trying times so I might as well call for my lowest scores remaining and let people seethe:

when the party's over - 7
i love you - 5

fake smile - 5
thank u, next - 6

BIGGER - 6
FIND YOUR WAY BACK - 6

Soon You'll Get Better - 6
False God - 5

Good As Hell - 6
All I Want For Christmas Is You - 5

Then it's all 8+.
 
We’re still pretending Fake Smile is anything higher than a 5/10? Mess.

Um, it’s the best song on thank u, next.

If I'm hurt, I ain't gon' lie about it
Arms crossed with the attitude, lips pouted
If I'm mad, I ain't gon' lie about it
Neck roll with the attitude, yeah
If I'm hurt, I ain't gon' lie about it
Arms crossed with the attitude, lips pouted
If I'm mad, I ain't gon' lie about it
Neck roll with the attitude, yeah
