WOW.
Fricking amazing, killed absolutely every song; flawless vocals, moves and just an all-round entertainer! I seriously hope she releases UK tour dates soon because I HAVE to be on it! WOW. |

My favourite performances were; 'Irreplaceable', 'The End of Time' and 'Halo'. Least favourite was definitely the snoozefest '1+1'. 'The End of Time' worked so well as a live performance! I feel I have to give '4' another spin now.

End Of Time was unbelievably good. It needs to be a single.
I think I have tickets to see her tomorrow at Shepherd's Bush...quite looking forward to it now! |

That really was all sorts of amazing. Makes you realise how many hit she's managed to pack into basically 2 careers. Was kinda disappointed Kelly and Michelle didn't join her, but on the whole every performance was stunning.
I think I'd have died if I was in that front row during 'Halo' though. Actually died. Of eternal happiness. |

AMAAAAAAZING. I don't think I'm exaggerating here either. Whatever you think of Beyonce and her music, you can't deny that her vocals during that whole set were flawless, her performances were either energetic or suitably raw and she's a proper entertainer/showman. SO GOOD. I've got Beyonce/Destiny's Child on loop now.

QUOTE Beyoncé brought Glastonbury to a spectacular close tonight with a breathtaking set. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showb...lastonbury.html
With proud husband Jay-Z watching on from the front row, the US superstar sparkled as she became the first female solo headliner at the Somerset festival in a quarter of a century. Beyonce set out her stall from the outset, launching into a powerful version of Crazy In Love as she stomped around the stage with attitude. She told the crowd, which also included Hollywood actress Gwyneth Paltrow: "I wanted you all to know, right now you are witnessing my dream. "I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for having me and my band here. I always wanted to be a rock star, and tonight we are all rock stars... I still can't believe I'm performing at Glastonbury." The singer's ability to pump out the tunes while racing around the stage is sheer class. She also got the looks nailed on too, emerging on stage as if she'd forgotten her trousers. The beauty flaunted her fabulous legs as she danced energetically around the stage wearing a low-cut gold sequinned jacket, black pants and stilleto boots. Fans yelped in delight as she writhed up and down her male dancers during a raunchy version of "Baby Boy", featuring UK rapper Tricky. She then toned things down with a gentle performance of Happy Birthday for one excitable fan before swiftly putting her own spin on the Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)". The star's voice was on unbelievable form as she switched between a selection of old and new material. She followed up new single "Best Thing I Never Had" with 2009 track "Why Don't You Love Me?" There was barely any time for Beyoncé to catch her breath before sprinting into a heart-racing performance of "Sex On Fire", which saw the star striding across the floor on her knees. Beyoncé's famous pins got a bit of respite when she crawled ontop of a piano to sing ballad "1+1". The audience then sung along during beautiful 2006 hit "Irreplaceable". Beyoncé looked close to tears as she said: "I've done a lot of things in my life but I've never performed to 175,000 people. This is unbelievable." Beyoncé gave a shout out to her former Destiny's Child bandmates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams before launching into a stunning medley of their greatest hits. The singer walked down to greet fans as she closed the show with an emotional performance of "Halo". |

QUOTE Adele was reportedly forced to reject an opportunity to duet with Beyoncé during her headline slot at Glastonbury festival on Sunday evening. http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/news/a32...nbury-duet.html
The "Set Fire to the Rain" songstress had to refuse the offer as she is under strict instructions to rest her voice after contracting acute laryngitis earlier this month. "Adele was absolutely gutted, Beyoncé is one of her big heroes. It would have been the stuff of dreams to perform with her - the gig of her life," a source told The Sun. "But docs have told her she's got to rest her voice or risk damaging her prized asset. She hopes one day they can do something together." Beyoncé played a 17-track set, which included her hits "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" and "Irreplaceable" as well as a Kings of Leon cover and a Destiny's Child medley, to a packed-out field of 175,000 festival-goers. The 29-year-old performer described her headline performance at the Somerset festival as one of her career highlights, stating that the "night was a dream". |

Do you think (if it's true) they would have performed 'Someone Like You'? Or do you think it would have been a Beyoncé song?

QUOTE An unusual and controversial choice to headline the third day of the festival, Beyoncé certainly got viewers watching from home. A peak audience of around 2.5 million viewers tuned into BBC Two from 10PM to watch Beyoncé's set, which included a cover of Kings of Leon track "Sex on Fire". Coverage of the last day of the weekend averaged 1.2 million between 10PM and 2AM last night on the channel.

I was completely blown away by her performances - flawless! I was so surprised to see the crowd singing along with 'Irreplaceable'.

So damn good! Quickly falling in love with her.
The 'Run the World (Girls)' and 'End of Time' performances were the definite highlights for me but the whole thing was incredible. I really want to see her live at some point, like Theo said, hopefully she'll tour soon! Must admit that I was a bit gutted she didn't perform 'Countdown' or 'I Was Here' though! Oh and one more thing...what was the point of 'Tricky' during 'Baby Boy' exactly?! Ha. |
