She'll perfom at Glastonbury today!!!!!! I'm really excited because it's going to be broadcasted ^^
I saw a video of Coldplay's perfomance yesterday singing Viva La Vida and B and Jay-Z were in the audience, she looked like she was having a lot of fun!
Btw... rumour has it that there's going to be a Destiny's Child reunion tonight

EDIT: OK. This is me right now after seeing her live at Glasto. :thud :thud :thud

^omg! How many songs did she perform?? I could only watch Single Ladies in youtube lol

Mario 27th June 2011 09:47 AM

You can watch all of the concert here: http://www.beyoncediario.com/2011/06...concierto.html

It was amazing!! the best I've seen from her! Incredible voice and dancing!

fuawas 27th June 2011 12:57 PM

^It was her best concert to date IMO too!!!
Btw, she performed in front of an audience of 175k people and she's the first female headliner ever on the Pyramid Stage.
I'm so proud of her :heart
Her Eurythmics and Kings of Leon covers left me speechless btw :thud

SURREAL__RAINBOW 28th June 2011 06:15 AM

thanks for the link!! *_* Will watch when I have some free time! :D


I finally had the chance to buy the album, got the deluxe edition and omg, so far it sounds sooo 90's somehow! I loooooooooooove 1+1 and BTINH so much!

Getting used to the other new songs too! :D



EDIT:

Two very different reviews of the album:

Pitchfork - 8.0 http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/15585-4/
Air Core Yell - 3 and a half stars http://aircoreyell.wordpress.com/2011/06/28/beyonce-4/



Ironically, Pitchfork gave B'day 7.2 and IASF 5.7 :thud

4 is the most surprising, mature and professional album I've heard for a loooong time. It feels so genuine, like Sade album.

fuawas 28th June 2011 09:04 PM

^Totally agree with you.

I don't agree with giving 5.7 to IAMSF, that's ridiculous. But B'day is a great album and so is 4! I think it's becoming my favourite Beyoncé album lol

And 3 and a half stars is not that bad, I'd give it 4,5. But I don't agree about the album being unoriginal. It has 70s and 90s R&B sounds, but seeing how the music's turning into electronic it's pretty original to release these kind of songs, that sound like timeless classics haha

Btw, Best Thing I Never Had is #1 in iTunes UK!

Oh and I swear this kind of performances blow my mind ._.

ストロボ・EdGE 1st July 2011 12:00 AM

I'm starting to hear Best Thing I Never Had a lot on the radioooo....

SURREAL__RAINBOW 1st July 2011 08:13 PM

I found this second version of the video for who run the world



is it official?? haven't seen it before! :thud :love

fuawas 2nd July 2011 12:19 PM

This video comes with the Deluxe Edition of 4! :love

tokyoxjapanxfan 5th July 2011 01:26 PM

Im actually surprised that Run the World didn't do very well... it sounds just like something Destiny's Child would have sung :P

fuawas 8th July 2011 01:24 AM

Official video for Best Thing I Never Had!


SURREAL__RAINBOW 8th July 2011 01:47 AM

jbrat2219 8th July 2011 04:06 AM

omg really?? :thud

I never noticed it lmao I bought the deluxe edition, but never thought the second disc had videos... I just didn't read properly :( fail



Watching the new video many times again and, I'm in loooove with her, seriously, her dress, everything is just perfect :cry

fuawas 10th July 2011 01:05 PM

Beyoncé is #1 worldwide with 511.000 copies sold. Remember that IASF sold 591.000 copies in the first week so I wouldn't call 4 a flop.

SURREAL__RAINBOW 10th July 2011 01:43 PM

wooow that's amazing! :D

specially since there was so much hype for IASF, and it's been years since she released that album, and sales barely dropped! :thud

I'm sooo happy for her! :yes I'm sure one of the things that helped the sales is her tour around the World, all those people who went to see her know how good she is as a performer, and I'm sure they love her and support her :)

NintendoHTF1242 10th July 2011 08:05 PM

I bought 4 yesterday :] (and B'Day deluxe for 10 bucks!)

I LOOOOOOOOOVE 4 omg!!! Way more interesting than I Am... Sasha Fierce, tbh. I Miss You and Best Thing I Never Had are like, godly.

Kingdom 10th July 2011 09:26 PM

I bought the album for a steal ($5 at Best Buy) and it has been on repeat!

My faves are 1+1, I Miss You, Countdown, BTINH, Run the World (Girls), Start Over, End of Time, I Was Here :heart

GREENsora 11th July 2011 12:17 AM

Just listened to 4. One of her best albums, I Was Here took my breath away!
