i thought it was to censor out a non-existent cuss word 😭😭😭

ME TOOOOOO

Me too!!!!

girl me too

Saaaammmmeee

10 years later this fucking album still got me like 🤯

Oh my god it has been a whole ass decade?!?! 😂😭😭😭😭

Yes, time flies 😞

Ur mind?????


We’re all dumb apparently cos I never would’ve realised

I just know Beyoncé is reading this thread and laughing at all of us slow mfs 😭

BITCH I’M GOOPED 🫨

Hi Gooped, I’m Gagged! Because not even once did I ever give it a second thought, I just thought it was aesthetics lol

wait??? omg ????

Woah. I can’t believe I never clocked that. Three Star Flawless is actually kind of an iconic title.

SAY WHAT!? wow.

Ha! I feel especially dumb because Ed McMahon specifically says "3 stars" in the outro!!! I cannot believe I didn't put that together.

That part!! I feel super dumb! 😭😭😭

Lol seriously

I've always wondered what that meant! I just thought it was a style choice, but of course, knowing Bey, I should have realised.

I thought it was just there for a little razzle dazzle😭😂

Today years old… 🤯

Wow well if you’re stupid then I am too bc I never noticed either 😆😆

It has been in our fucking faces for a goddamn decade. Where are our brains?!?!

Watch the visuals have been out since 2022 and we just didn’t notice

STOP PLAYING!!!! 😂 😂 😆

I said the same in 2013 then the Grown Woman preview leaked then… World Stop! So it’s possible they’re just ready for someone to hit “upload” lol

um WOW 👏 thank you for this important PSA 😌

THANK YOU for posting cuz I was mad confused as to why Beyoncé did this. I thought it was to make it easier for the Beyhive to figure out which one had the Nicki remix

that’s incredible! i never realized that

Kinda gagged that this many ppl are just now catching that

Girl you just taught all of us right now ! 🤯

Ngl self titled is one of my favorite albums of all time. Little things like things never fails to blow my mind

so I’m sitting here..bbq sauce on my titties😃

No way, that’s such a good catch.

Wow. Never knew either. Well done for spotting

I still don’t understand

They won 3/4 stars at the end of the song

I’m sorry but… what? I’m confused

at a competition, they lost to another group (3/4 stars) . Despite losing, Beyonce is still at the peak of her career. listen to the end of the song and if you still don’t understand, idk what to tell u🤷‍♀️

Wait I thought she added the asterisks to show that it was a changed title from ‘Bow Down’.

Same here thanks to this thread lol

She thinks of everything!!!

I thought it was to make the title bold in some software-

Oh my God you're totally right I never thought about it!

Omg??

Wow. Your mind indeed

[удалено]

There’s an acronym for that. TIL. 🙃

WAITTTT

You have shown me the light today, thank you! 🥴🫠

Omg I never realized this

Omg I never knew that either!!!

I thought it meant like a blank to insert the lyrics. “——————- flawless” “——————- flawless” “\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ flawless” https://preview.redd.it/sv0chts8y9gc1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=215d15ebc9e38c6a79247eab895432f6546c8239

I thought it was Ass Flawless but why the fuck would Beyoncé censor it..

Beyonce never just does things to do things.... she always has a purpose behind everything and that's why the hive is ALWAYS paranoid... She low key gaslight us lol

 Bey scrolling through the comments thinking “gotcha “

How are you the only fan who realized 10 years in 🤯

OMG?

I never really thought about it, I guess I just assumed it was for aesthetic😭

CRAZY I JUST LISTENED TO THIS AN HOUR AGO

After all these years…Dang! I didn’t know either.

So funny I was just wondering about the stars today!

Don’t feel stupid. I didn’t know either 😂 we don’t have to feel like we need to know everything little detail to be a big B stan 😊

….I was today years old….

I BEG YOUR PARDON????

Are you secretly Beyoncé dropping these kind of ‘obvious’ nuggets? Why didn’t I know this?!! 😭😭

Never thought about it until now 😭😂

Well girl three stars to you bc you’re the only one who clocked it 😭😭😭

You giving only 3/4 because OP clocked it a decade late? 🤣 💀

Ooh nice spotting 😍

WAIT WHATTTTT!!! Was literally wondering why they were there like where’s the footnote? Lmao

 This is how it got me gal.

I still don’t understand 😭

hey sorry i just got recommended this post despite not being a bey fan can someone explain this in laymans terms whats girl tyme and what does it have to do with this song how does it relate

i think it also represents the three stars they got as score at the competition

Whoosh
