VIDEO: BEYONCE HONORED @ 2011 BILLBOARD MUSIC AWARDS + PERFORMANCE & SPEECH

Tonight, superstar Beyoncé was honored as Billboard’s Artist of the Millennium at this year’s Billboard Awards. A video montage for the 29-year-old was played before her first ever televised performance of her latest single, “Run the World (Girls).” The video featured the likes of First Lady Michelle Obama, Barbra Streisand, Lady Gaga, U2 front man Bono, Stevie Wonder, Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds, The Dream, sister Solange, and of course, Tina and Mathew Knowles.

This week has been quite a whirlwind when it came to the promotional blitz. Her video has achieved over 13 million views within the first three days, in promotion for her upcoming fourth studio album, 4, which is slated to hit stores June 28th.

After her performance, Beyoncé accepted the award from her mother, and nephew, Daniel “Julez” Smith. She thanked her family, as well as former Destiny’s Child bandmates, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, who were both present. In addition, she also thanked the original members, LeToya Luckett and LaTavia Roberson. She also gave a heartfelt mention of her husband, Jay-Z.:

“I’d also like to thank my bestfriend. And I don’t wanna put you on the spot, ’cause I know they’re probably putting the camera in your face right now. But I love me some Jay-Z.”

      Best performance of the night no question! She is the greatest performer alive. I cant wait til she realeases more. we love you beyonce congrats!!!!!

      oh…… and i was one of the haters i knew you would be a Smash cause nun of these h*** can Fade YOU!

    • VICTORIA TUKUFU

      THIS DIRTY BITCH STILL WORSHIP THE DEVIL EXCEPT NOW SHE IS DOING IT OPENLY, AND EVERYBODY TALKN BOUT HOW GOOD HER PERFORMANCE WAS NOT NOTICING THAT SHE THANKED EVERYBODY UNDER THE SUN BUT GOD. JAY Z IS NOT HER GOD. SHE IS GOING TO BURN WHEN SHE DIES. I WOULD NOT GET ON A PLANE IF I WERE HER CAUSE GOD WILL PUNISH HER.

    • Good, not the best

      wow the best in the world I don’t think so. I think Bey is entertaining, what separates her from the best is the best created things that the rest of the world is still doing to this day, she hires people that train her well and she executes it well and she steals from the best of them, and does it well.

    • No way

      Victoria why dont u stick a bible up ur ass …..

    • emily

      @STLOPINION

      You sure are a f*cking DUMBASS. Just cause she didnt trend on twitter, her performance was wack?? what a pathetic excuse
      Who gives a f*ck about trending topics. Take a seat.

      Michelle Obama, Stevie Wonder, Babyface, Lady Gaga, Fergie, Trey Songz, Solange, Ne-yo, Melanie Fiona, Angela Simmons, Alexandra Burke, J Cole, Rihanna, and many others gave this woman the respect she deserves YET YOU STILL HAVE THE NERVE TO BASE HER SUCCESS ON TWITTER TRENDING TOPICS. WHAT AN IDIOT

    • STLopinion

      did i ever base my opinion of sayin the performance was just ok on her trending on twitter NO! reading is very fundamental i just stated it didnt trend on twitter which it didnt so how bout u have a seat in somebody reading class to gain the basics an who gives a fuck thats THEIR opinion just because those big names u mentioned liked it doesnt mean im suppose to i apologize i have a mind of my own and dont submit to GROUP THINK… GOODDAY

    • Deezluv

      Congratulations B!!!…keep proving your diva status! You bring the A game everytime!!!…and you empower women! True believers don’t fear or give much credence to that illuminati bull…. anyway! EVEN IF YOU DO BELIEVE…that’s one dancing devil!!! Be entertained, not a follower or convert!…LOVE TO ALL!!

    • VLICIOUS

      um kiss my ass. the bitch worships the devil and you worship her. you will burn with her. she is not your god, she dont pay none of your bills or help you when you struggling yet you put her on a thrown. i liked her until this devil stuff came up, she doesnt have to be this way but she is and i am not a fan. id sleigh the bitch if i could.

    • Darslow

      I know. I was like damn Stevie. What the hell? Guess he’s drinking that yawncey coolaid, too. That Beyonce is fooling legends now. She may not be as dumb as people claim she is.

  2. Luel14

    Amazinggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg The Queennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

    • Tasha32

      Beyonce OWNED that damn stage AND the ENTIRE awards show for that matter. THIS is what this dry a$$ industry has been missing and she just brought it back and I’m SO glad she’s back. She was so on point w/the sreen and when she started hitting those moves, it was time to hang it up because if was all up hill from there and she sounded great. At the part towards the end, I thought she was about to take it to church. And the speech, shout out to the original DC members and to Jay were priceless. THIS IS WHY SHE DESERVES EVERYTHING SHE HAS BECAUSE she’s not a lazy performer and she is true to who she is. LOVE ME SOME BEY……

    • Getem

      This performance was 10x better than the video. Getem Bey.

    • HAH

      regardless of what your opinion may be. the proof is in the pudding. Beyonce is OFFICIALLY a pop legend and her talent is undeniable nor comparable. As of 05/22/2011 Beyonce Knowles runs the world.

  3. Classy!

    Nothing can help that terrible song, but Beyonce’s performance was stunning-the best of her career. And her speech seemed genuine and heartfelt.

    • ChattyPatty

      I said the same thing, totally agree, and I even thought maybe if I saw her perform it I would begin to like it…lol..but she def can entertain a crowd. Best perfomance of the evening.

  4. STLopinion

    I think it was very classy of her to thank letoya an latavia that was very unexpected an very appropriate! the performance on the other hand was EHH i mean the graphic was AMAZING but the performance as a whole was ok! an what happened to thanking god geesh but hey ppl believe in whoever they want who am i to say their wrong…

    • THATS RIGHT

      THE PERFORMANCE WAS EEHH AND OK???? ARE YOU SERIOUS???? even ppl who dont stand for this performance can not deny the epicness and the fact that this shit was REVOLUTIONARY! Even Keri tweeted it was incredible! To top that performance, especially it was done LIVE, I believe it would some time and extraordinary efforts! Im stioll in schok how she worked her ass off for that. Thats plain HATING. But Michelle Obama, Barbra phucking Streisand encouraged Bey, I mean the whole thing just invalidates eevry negativity that comes along. You cant tell Beyonce nothing!!!!!!! PERIOD POINT BLANK! Just because she doesnt thank God publicly doesnt mean she didnt already! A relationship with God is like charity, you dont need to brag about it! its only between you and God!

    • STLopinion

      @ THATS RIGHT

      PLEASE, GO AWAY! thats why God made everyone w. different minds so we can all have different opinions I’m sorry im not apart of your Group Think but thats how i feel the performance was OK wat did she do that was so revolutionary the song is shit if another artist went an did the samething it wouldnt have been “revolutionary” then so GTFOH its all this hype because its beyonce

    • Woo pop child

      StOpinion you are truly a hater …… Ppl like u will always be commentators and never the buzz… Oops

    • STLopinion

      This is so funny lol its crazy how people are quick to knock u down an say your a “hater” because you dont feel what they do… an ppl like me huh lol OK these stans/fans are crazy SMH

    • hahahaha

      @THATS RIGHT
      AGREED! Ive always said that stlopinion is one sissy weak hating ass boy that hates on females cause I see him on CL. He is a moron. This performance was not a “eh”, even a hater can recognize the greatness. A “eh” might be a britney or rihanna or nicki. Not a bey. But anyway, haters gon gate, more power to Bey. Funny thing how ppl who always talk senseless sh!t brag about “it’s my opinion”. Well, you opinion is INVALID. Pathetic.

    • Beyoncestanforever

      Stlopinion….. U seem sensitive why don’t u ……hmmm…. Shut the f$&k up… Thanks … Only haters comment negatively at 12:30am u have no life no future and no purpose.. .. Dispose ur opinion because you are invalid

    • STLopinion

      LMAOOOOOOOOO! Its funny you guys say my opinion isnt valid but yet yall took the time to read it AND comment on it! My opnion sayin its just an ok performance is just as valid as your opnion saying it is revoluntionary so shut yall bitter asses up an are you serious you sayin how im up at 11 sayin why i think it was ok YET your the one up at the same time defendin someone how bout u take your ass to sleep cuz obviously u aint on bee payroll so it looks lik u have no future no life an no purpose if it all revolves around bee!

    • Beyoncestanforever

      I can stay up all night and comment because I’m a fan bitch …….. Why are u losing sleep on someone who is ehh?

    • 3Sides2everyStory

      I’m a huge Beyonce fan, But STL is right. It’s like goddam, Can other people have their opinions.? Some of Byes stans are just plain crazy. I know a lot of it has to do with her reaching a level of celebrity very few current artists are able to achieve, but it’s just fucking annoying. LIKE REALLY? IS THAT WHAT LIFE HAS COME 2? DEFENDING SOMEONE SO STRONGLY WHOM YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW. Don’t get me wrong, some people are obviously just hating but STL has made a valid opinion.
      On another note Beyonce has won more lifetime achievement awards than anyone I know under the age of 30, LOL. She truly is legendary though.

    • STLopinion

      OH GO TO SLEEP! Her name nor her performance didnt even trend on twitter so shit i aint the only one who wasnt feelin it or gave AF about it…

    • Beyoncestanforever

      You still up???? Dam mm aren’t u usually choking your lil chicken at this time of night…. In the words of my boy HOV dig a hole

    • tez

      @STLOPINION, IT WAS ALRIGHT SHE MAYBE COULD DID BETTER BUT HEY LOOK AT THE VIDEO FOR THE SONG EVERYBODY SAYS SHE COULD DO BETTER WITH THAT ITS PEOPLE THAT REMADE THE VIDEO AND DID BETTER THAN HER IM JUST SAYING PEOPLE PUT BEYONCE ON SEEM PLATFORM AND SAY SHES THE BEST IN WHICH SHES NOT

    • No way

      @tez u sound like an irrelevant Ciara fan…. Name one person that can mess with Beyonce on that stage

    • Imani R.

      I think that it was really inappropriate to comment the way y’all did about @stlopinions comment. Y’all did not have to say the things that you did. its his opinion and everybody is entitled to theirs so you had no right to commentate on it. im not saying hes right and im not saying hes wrong im just saying it was rude.

    • No way

      @Imani …… Who are you? Captain save a hoe? Suck a sack!

    • STLopinion

      @ NO WAY – GET A LIFE!

      @IMANI – THANK YOU! This really shows how sensitive people are wtf u getting mad for someone else opinion for at the end of the day its MINE smh but thats what fans do sit behind the computer an call you all kinds of names an think im suppose to feel any less of who i was before smh couldnt even have a debate an every response im a “bitch” or somethin lik that smh

    • teamb

      wooww @stlopinion you obviously did feel less of a person.. you have been on this site going on and on and on with the negativity. Sit your ass down and move on with your life cuz u just lost.

    • Gemini6

      I agree with @Stlopinion 500%. That performance was wiggidy, wiggidy wack. And I can name two performers who could top the performance Chris “Ike 2.0″ Brown and Janet “Muthafuckin Mz.Nasty if you ask me” Jackson.

  5. Tellin U Like It Is

    The performance was good but the song is sh*t. People need 2 stop lying!

    They know it is crap. Just like Rihanna’s performance.

  6. Lanice

    She said that part about Jay-Z like she was talking about a plate of neck bones and collard greens lol

  7. THATS RIGHT

    I CANT BELIEVE PPL BE STILL HATING ON BEYONCE THATS BEYOND ME! JUST TO SEE HOW HARD SHE WORKED FOR THAT PERFORMANCE AND HOW SHE DID SH!T WE NEVER SAW BEFORE, SINGING LIVE AND WELL WHICH APPARENTLY A SCARCE, DANCING EXATCLY LIKE IN THE PHUCKING VIDEO. PSHHHHHH. I HAVE THE HIGHEST RESPECT FOR BEYONCE. NEGATIVE PPL WILL STILL TALK ABOUT HOW TRASH THE SONG IS SUPPOSEDLY FOR THEM BUT SHE WORKED IT AS IF IT WAS #11 RIGHT NOW! DONT LISTEN TO IT. WHO CARES AT THIS POINT? MAN BEYONCE YOU ARE A LEGEND. THAT IS ALL.

  8. OMGGG

    Beyoncé is the greatest performer of all time. I’ve been saying this for a long time but MJ’s title always has been arguable to me, with all respect due to him. Beyoncé gives me just a lil more and her versatility is incredible! That was one of the best televised performances EVER!

    • 2damnfunny

      It was a great performance but I don’t know about that. I still prefer the original Major Laxer song but to each it’s own.

      I think Beyonce has accomplished a lot but she definitely has not come close the MJ’s status. I think we forget how much artists and legends of the past accomplished and don’t give them enough credit.

    • MsMuffin

      !omggg…i co-sign 100%…ignorant ‘stans’ don’t know what it means to be a ‘legend’…so many ppl are blinded, the only question i have for the ‘stans’ is, will precious bey save ur soul?

    • bstan

      @msmuffin i know a legend when i see one… kinda like ur p*ssy. Its very legendary in your hood from what i heard.

    • RonT09

      How about the greatest female performer of all time..and he’s clearly the greatest male performer to ever live..and that way everybodys happy.

  9. Yes

    I will need some time to recover from this. Beyoncé. I have no words… speechless!

    • Tasha32

      LMAO I read someone ele’s comments on another blog and they said “I would hate to be the janitor that has to clean up after Bey’s performance because she just shitted onthe stage” LOL I thought that was TOO funny but she did chew that stage and spit it out. Those effects were on point, that took alot of practice I’m sure because one off timing or wrong move would have been hard to recover from. And the nerve of ppl saying she used a body double, body double my a**. And the tribute was nice too.

  10. Damian in Dallas

    as much as I HATE that song that performence was HOT…

  11. QueenB4ever

    Man!!!!!…….. Beyonce was amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! her body was crazy.. the vocals… the performance.. i living!!!!! #teambeyonce

  12. YOU IDIOTS!

    Either you like or hate this song, it has a whole new meaning, and I was surprised ppl couldnt and still cant not see the power of words like “my persuasion can build a nation, endless power”, inspirational words, it means a lot, at least to me. I can do anything. ” Raise a glass for College grads, women smart enough to make the millions, strong enough to bear the children, then get back to business, for the men who respect what I do, please accept my shine!”. Thsi reminds me of my mom! How can women hate on this? The performance was terrific. It’s safe to say she is a legend.

    • STLopinion

      dont forget “without love we can devour youll do anything for ME” meaning women will rule the world an beyonce will be yall leader an yall anything for her…wat kinda shit is that

    • tulsa

      she is your legend not mine.she isnt a legend to everybody lets get that stright.her career hasnt even spanned 20-30 yr like stevie wonder(who is honoring her for some reason)or even mariah carey.why dose se wanna be a legend now,now ,now.why not see if her career can last like stevies and mariahs then consider yourself legend she a joke 2 me.

    • YOU IDIOTS!

      LISTEN. I TRULY COULD CARE LESS ABOUT YOUR OPINION. TRUST ME. IM A HAPPY PERSON AND FULFILED. MY LIFE IS TOO FABULOUS TO HATE ON THIS TALENTED HARD WORKING BEAUTIFUL BLACK FEMALE THAT IS BEYONCE OR SPEND TIME HIGHLIGHTING ANY SUPPOSED NEGATIVITY FROM OTHER PPL THAT I DONT EVEN KNOW. MY OPINION WILL NOT CHANGE AND YOU CAN HAVE YOURS. DEAL. IM TOO MATURE TO ENTERTAIN YOU SIMPLE PEOPLE FRONTING BEHIND COMPUTER AND ANONIMITY. PEACE.

    • Junior

      This confirms it. I can’t take @STLOPINION serious! Ha! Is that what you got from that part of the song. lol I CANT

    • af

      THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY PERSUASION CAN BUIL A NATION WTF?!?!? WITH THE $$$ ON THE STAGE & TWIN TOWERS & THE GLOBE??? ILLUMINATI IS OBVIOUS!!

    • No way

      Are u mad that the illuminati hasn’t invited you to join?

    • STLopinion

      LMAO yall stans will eat up anythin this woman feed yall if she farts on a track ppl will buy it an say its legendary its almost sad

  13. raison

    whoever said she was better than m.j cuz she did a couple moves n front ofa screen and stole most of the moves from janet is delusional that really upset me u really dont know shit.

    • OMGG

      And Janet “stole” from MJ and MJ “stole” from James Brown, the Charleston movement and early hip hop movements of dancing. I said it and this is my opinion. Instead of being mentally enslaved, buy for yourself their concert dvds, study both, watch the crowds, study the contexts, the time, the genres, the dancing, the singing, the energy, the stage presence, the interpretation, the versatility, what each of them is able to do and come back so we can discuss. If ppl are afraid to open their ears and eyes to say that Beyoncé might be the greatest performer ever, I’m not.

    • raison

      she is not!she has never done anything that wasnt done before!m.j created a new era nobody was like him to the singng style to the heeee,heee he did he was a original and changed the game.mariah singer sngwrter originl there is only one marah those are TRUE legends.beyonce never did anything groundbreaking or original she is just popular.she dosent deserve to be having bono or stevie honoring her thats beyond lame.

    • Yuck

      Raison ………. Why don’t u break ground and jump a bridge…….

    • tulsa

      so now i gotta go and die cuz i stated a opinion u didnt like?your pathetic and crazy and need god and nooooooo more beyonce.

    • tulsa

      i feel like raison too so if we disike her we shoud die?thas wh people dislike her look at her fans!se obviousy ant infuencing u all in a good way.

      BEYONCE CAN’T MOVE SHE CAN JUST PRACTICE CHOREOGRAPHY ITS NOT GENUINE… CIARA>BEYONCE

    • Smh

      @af really? You must be about 12 ….. Ciara doesn’t even have a label she is washed….. Ciara isn’t and will never be again next to a legend or icon

  14. BeyonceStanForever

    Beyonce Rocked That Damn Stage….. REVOLUTIONARY …… Showing These B1tches How It’s Done Show F&cking OVER!!! Why Bother After That? She Murked Everyone That Even Thought About Taking That Stage She Works Her Ass Off Every Damn Time! The Grammys The VMA’s The Billboard Awards He’ll I’m Sure Even In The Shower She Gives 110 Percent You Can’t Deny God Given Talent Drive And Determination To Up The Ante Every Day That’s Why She Has So Many Stans Because She Is Truly Motivational And She Drives People Like Me To Want To Be The Best At Any And Every Turn Of Life….. When I’m Down And I Feel Like I Can’t Do Anything I Can Watch Her Perform And Feel The Energy It’s Truly Euphoric Beyond Belief I Have The Chills

  15. Scripted

    Cole World ……No Blanket

  16. BeyonceStanForever

    I can not wait for the album ….. No hate to other artists but after seeing Britney (barely alive) And Nicki embarrass herself how can you perform on the same card as Beyonce ….. Side note every time Beyonce kills it and runs down the isle Keri Hilson (wore yellow tonight) is always five rows behind the front sitting clapping and looking like a never was I feel pity for her…. Skunked out and hasn’t won a Grammy for her artistry ( or lack there of) yet with all the skanky outfits blonde hair … Rihanna and Beyonce rip offs and coochie poppin Kanye Shruuggggg

  17. SoOverBeyonce!

    ……No matter how she performs that song it will always remain crappy, the overall performance was “ok”..it was a bit creative but shes done this before not to this extreme but shes still already did this before…her dancing was a lil stiff and messy…THE PERFORMANCE IN GENERAL COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER!…..oh and btw, this is just my opinion!

  21. Angedeterre

    …..And after The Queen Bey Performed….there was no more reason to watch the show. I just rapped the sh*t out of the replay button, till the show ended…….I Love me some Bey. And i want to thank all the people (fans in the closet) who don’t give a fu*k about Beyonce….cos y’all stay speaking her name….and by so doing making her richer and more famous. Even Michelle Obama couldn’t deny real artistry talent. I guess all the Legends, and the First Lady, and the Millions of fans + the BBMA have all lost our minds to think SHE’s as good as we say she is. It doesn’t even matter……..we’re googo for the Queen. Oh P.S. to the (closet fans) sorry in advance…….. Beyonce’s performance is all you’ll hear for the BBMA 2011. Life must suck for y’all. Awwwwwwww well get your fav to do better, and tell your favs to stop giving Beyonce props then. LMAO #TeamBeyonce “4″ Life

ALICIA, KELLY CLARKSON, and NORAH JONES HAVE SOLD MORE ALBUMS THAN BEY IN THE MILLINEUM…. MAYBE NORAH, KELLY AND ALICIA SHOULD START TAKING OFF CLOTHES IN THEIR VIDEOS…I WOULD HAVE HAD A KANYE MOMENT IF I WERE THERE.

    • Really

    • hahahaha

  23. 3Sides2everyStory

    BRILLIANT. PERFECT. THE BEST LIVE PERFORMANCE OF THE PAST TEN YEARS, MAYBE THE BEST OF MY GENERATION. I don’t know how many people watch this award show but it had good ratings this performance might be to this decade what Michael Jackson’s Motown reunion performance did for the 80′s.

  24. ☆ Lola A♏ ★

    Loved the performance and acceptance speech. Hate song though. :(

  25. Sasha

    Lmao wow! Does it reallly matter? She performed and she got the award. I love her and we all know the song isn’t her best but she took a risk and I respect her for that. I’m not a bias Stan so I woNt say she’s the greatest ever. She’s worked hard, those dance moves are not easy but she makes them look effortless. She thanked the people who helped her get where she is now and those are the people that were suppose to have “beef” with her. I love the cut my check part. Lmao she scared him. People on here be getting too emotional, beyonce does not affect your life’s lmaO. But again she did very well and i can’t wait for the album.

  26. yalp

    I couldn’t believe what I was watching…. she is the best live performer since Mj… sorry to let people no.. name ONE artist that can do that on a stage… even if u don’t like her music etc.. no one leaves the stage hot and bothered anymore.. my auntie was like WHAT THE HELL.. Lmao..how did she get so good?

  27. JEANNA

    I hate i didn’t get a chance to see it . I think the song would have to grow on me. Love the video tho.

  28. Cynic

    If the song is shit, she just sold it to the masses. DEAL

    y’all are going a bit too far by saying she’s the best performer since MJ. that would cancel out Prince, Janet, Madonna, etc., and that’s just not true. she is, however, the best live performer of the new generation, and she did prove that with this performance. song still sucks, but she shitted on both Britney and Rihanna at the same time last night. hate her or love her, that’s real talk.

    Out of all of the performances clearly Beyonce was the best…u can’t deny it. It’s funny how she put so much effort into that performance when she didn’t have to. Second place would have to be Kesha. I’m not a fan but she kept me entertained. Mary would come in third and would have been further up if it was longer. As a whole the program was awkward and long with a few good spots. Worst were Britneys performance and those far east movement guys. Yuck

    loved the performance. but it kinda gave me the feeling like an era was ending or something, i don’t know.

    Without A Doubt THE Performance Of The Night, She KILLED It!! God Dammit This Woman Will Not Be Stopped & I Love It! Beyonce Brings An Excitement Too The Game That I Just Do Not Get From Any Other Artist!! That’s Not Too Say Other Artists Ain’t Exciting Cause They Are But This Woman Takes It Beyond Another Level!!
    That Performance Just Gave My God Damn Goose Bumps And A Feeling Like I Could Go And Do Anything I Wanted With An Attitude And Air Of Confidence Like That!!
    She Is Without A Doubt “The Hottest Chick In The Game” All Rise For Queen Bee!! <3 Her x

    That’s nice that she thanked her husband aka manager.

  37. Les Petits

    I was definitely not impressed by the performance. I actually prefer the video, all of those visual effects got me confused, the dancing was not intense for once, neither was her voice. Plus, the more I hear the lyrics, the more I find them deeply meaningless and childish.

  38. thickems

    What a great performance ! ! ! She insipres me as a business woman that I could do so much in the industry! ! ! She deserves it all ! ! ! She is not only the “hautes” chick in the game but she is the “best”.

    Bey was better than I expected. I still don’t like that song, it’s horrible. I am waiting for an original performance. Not just from Beyonce but from anyone. With the exception of Cee-Lo Green (the best performance yesterday), everything looked like a compilation of every Jackson (Janet or Michael) performance ever done.

  40. Goodjobbeyonce

    I enjoyed the performance the CGI was very creative. I like the dance moves in the beginning! I thought she gave a heart felt speech! I like how she acknowledge all the destiny child members. I think that was great. It would be so hot if all the member came together and just do another DC album..that will sell through the roof! She derseves her success! I think years from now she will be the one who goes down in history as the next best female performer after Janet if she keep being creative and gets better! Nice job beyonce! Now, I’m waiting on Kelly to give us a hot performance of Motivation. I hope my girls albums do well!

    smh… I wasn’t gonna comment bc it’s pointless in a Beyonce post unless u are praising her but I CAN’T BELIEVE U PEOPLE REALLY THINK SHE WAS SINGING LIVE!!!!!!!!! Did u not hear how hard she was breathing while she was talking yet u didn’t hear her breathing AT ALL during the performance…Cmon ppl let’s not be so gullible in 2011…

    Anyway the performance was pretty good… I enjoyed it more when she brought more ppl out tho… the special effects were interesting for a min then it was like ok it’s dragging on… I however must say SHE WAS F N HOTTTTTT!!!!!! Best I have seen her look imo!

    • emily- BEYSTAN

      your comment has to be the daftest

      How the f*ck do you expect to hear her breathing hard over that extremely loud music???
      SHE PERFORMED EVERY DAMN THING LIVE.
      These statements get dumber by the second.

    • Smh

      You can hear her breathe during the performance and her vocal shift during the (betts cut my check) part with the two guys…. So stfu get an hd tv and dvr u loser eat a dick she da shit…. And she just mucked on Oprah touch that… When’s the last time u saw britney on Oprah? What makes Beyonce a legend is her stage show her songs sales influence and worldwide impact she IS the total package in every way

  42. Gwen

    Go bey NO ONE IS ONE your LEVEL Period….. I am sick of people bashing and hating on her give the girl her props she dope and got the hottest man in the game. I give credit where credit is due she killed it and i love the song. shitted on em (in my nikki voice)

    *Yawn* Beyonce could burp on a track & yall would say its the best song in the world. Janet Jackson did the same thing with the screen during “Feedback.” Nothing was spectacular about this performance.

    • jessica

      Honestly I agree with you!! The performance was alright, nothing to go crazy for. Still not feeling the song at all, her next single- Until The End Of Time, which it was on CL last week, don’t understand why it was removed , it was way way better than this track. I’m sorry, I’m a fan of Bey also, but that track right there- “Girls” is not a good song!!! As you said on the post, Janet Jackson done this CGI stuff back in 2008 on the American Music Awards for “Feedback” this is not new people. This Beyonce album better be good, because its about quality not quantity!!

    • teamb

    I’ve never thought that Beyonce was that great of a performer, she always over sings and just shakes her lace wig and booty, BUT THIS PERFORMANCE WAS AMAZING! This has to seriously be the best performance from Beyonce and one of the best performances of our generation. Those animations were sick and you can tell Beyonce really worked her a– off! Her vocals were strong and on point too. In the music video, she was dancing like a damn fool, but her movements and choreography was changed up a bit at this award show. I loved the idea of all of those background dancers. They and Beyonce looked great.

    BTW, her speech was genuine and that was beautiful that she finally mentioned Kelly, Michelle, LeToya and Latavia.

    • jessica

      If Beyonce is really smart, get those girls, Letoya, Latavia, Michelle and Kelly – all four of them plus her and do a wicked album!! Which all of them singing. I didn’t liked how those girls got kicked out like that because of Papa Knowles. Also if those girls do an album, it will resolve that whole kicking out of the group foolishness years ago, so this will be a wicked advantage on all of the girls and that album will kill the charts.

    Nobody cares about janet. We talkin about queen bey. She killed it & was the talk of the night. Stay mad haters.

  46. REALTALK 101

    Bey is my girl and all but she needs to come out and credit Michael Jackson with the idea for lastnite’s performance cause that was straight outta MJ’s book (see the “This Is It”movie). Bey’s problem is always lack of originality. I mean she doesn’t even flip it that was a straight jack, all she did was use her own image instead of an army. Good performance not great because if you take away the effects what would you get? I’m just saying. Still the baddest female in the game today tho.

    • @mr1namilli

      she always credits michel jackson?? did you not see her i am tour? she did a tribute to him right before she did halo…and in the destinys child days that the bootylicious video was inspired by MJ as well o_O get ya research together

  47. REALTALK 101

    I said “This Is It” but Michael’s been doing ish like this way before that. Janet even got in on it. Props to Bey for pulling it off but give credit where it’s due. That was not original for Bey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I have never been a huge Bey fan… and thats an understatement. However, as my grandma would say, you gotta give someone their flowers while they yet live. Bey’s performance was awesome. Lyrically, its hard to listen to, but the girl is a performer. That BBMA moment made me appreciate her for who she is… a performer. Is she the best wriyer? Nope. Can Sis. Sheila from Mt. Zion Baptist church outsing (scream her)? Probably. But I believe that the best writer alive nor Sis. Sheila could have pulled off that performance last night.

    Be it resolved: when I need my soul stirred through a melodic message, i will turn to an ole 100 hymn, Kirk Franklin, or circa 1999 India Arie. When i want to be entertained for any number of reasons, I got Bey. Thank God for options and a robust soul that requires such diversity! TeamILikeALotOfPeople

  49. emily- BEYSTAN

    YAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWNNNNNNNNNNNNN AT EVERY SINGLE NEGATIVE COMMENT
    When your fav is honoured by the first lady, sings for presidents, breaks grammy records amongst others, sells millions of records and perfroms at sold-out tours worldwide, then you can talk
    But till then, STFU AND KEEP YOUR FOOLISH O-P-I-N-I-O-N-S TO YOURSELVES

    BEYONCE RIPPED THAT STAGE APART. ANYONE THAT PERFORMED AFTER HER, OR EVEN BEFORE HER WAS JUST PUT TO SHAME WFFORTLESSLY. INCLUDING BRITNEY SPEARS LMAO.
    Britney’s fans can kiss my a$$. BEY GOT THE AWARD, NOT HER SO BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  50. hollywood!!!

    wow…. i can’t believe people still comment like someone said something about their mother… stans are idiots…and a discredit to any artiste they support.. really who wants to be known as the person with the most idiots supporting them.. take it down a notch people….

  51. @mr1namilli

    not a bey STAN at all but this preformance was #EPIC and sorry but all these OPINIONS and videos on other sites about swagger jacking are irrelevent due to the fact that this bitch used special effects LIVE and sung LIVE not missing a fucking beat LIVE! time,technology and cgi will ALWAYS be used by artist thats a fact its just a matter of who will do it better and in this case it was BEYONCE she was on some MICHEAL JACKSON shit i mean he was her infulence.
    and this preformance was stuff of legend.

  52. Msmaryland

    I am and will be the first person to say this…..I was wrong about Beyoncé’$ debut single. Although I do not like the video version of the song “Who runs the World”; I do love the Billboard version performance a lot better. Her performance was no less than amazing. Pretty much perfect. Yes, creative wise she has a lot of help, marketing wise I’ve figured out, she’s a 4th quarter released, with Tha t being said….She is an entertainer, Singer, Inspirational motivator and woman. She’s married to the only celebrity crush I’ve ever had, Jigga and he has the perfect girl. Love u B if u r reading this; or ever will. I was wrong. Good Job girl! WHO RUN THE WORLD!! GIRLS! POW!

  53. getgot

    For what? She hasnt made a mark on music in a huge way. and majority of her songs and albums are forgettable. or maybe Jay-Z paid them off.

  54. Diamond Latrelle

    I didn’t like it at all.

  55. RonT09

    Shes nothing less than Amazing!!!!! I feel like i just watched history.

  56. Richard

    I am AMAZED at how much attention Beyonce gets, either negative or positive. Any Beyonce post gets a crazy amount of comments.

  57. CHUCK

    I enjoyed that performance…really nice :-) And I see you stans are pressed today huh?? GEEZ…

  58. Tiffany

    Loved every bit of it!! She holds it down as always.. Best performance ever
