So far so good!

I went to the show. I know there are alot of Bey haters on the org, but i really enjoyed her show. I left 5 pounds lighter. I was booty poppin' right along with her.

I was there too. I think I was too far up in the nosebleed section to really dance , but it was a good show!

You and me are on the SAME PAGE!! I was just saying that. This part of the show puts that "entertaining/dancing Beyonce" part to shame.

that was completely different from the track on her album ... better even ..

I like it way better.

See Beyonce wants to be seen as the ultimate entertainer, but she looses me a lot on the fast songs. When she performed MM&I, Dangerously In Love, He Loves Me, Flaws And All, I was hooked. She needs to build her career, from this point around songs like those.

Me, Myself & I is my favourite Beyonce song.

She's doing some sort of weird DC3 medley with the Soulja Boy dance just prior to Soldier.

An interesting review of the show...

The Beyonce Experience by Chris Willman

If you like women, you'll love Beyoncé's new live show. There's a veritable cast of thousands of 'em in The Beyoncé Experience, which bowed July 7 in Memphis (the tour continues throughout the summer; see the full schedule at Beyoncé's website: a trio of curvy backup singers, a half-dozen dancers, and, not to be neglected, a 10-piece band. (The only dudes allowed on stage were four additional hoofers.) It's as if Cecil B. DeMille lived long enough to direct a rock & roll go-go epic about Amazons, a revue spectacular enough in its colossal divadom to put off proclamations of — it's all right, we've all felt it — Beyoncé fatigue. At least for a couple of months, till her tour has safely passed through town.

Though you'd figure she's as mass-appeal as it gets, at least two-thirds of Beyoncé's opening-night crowd fit into a fairly specific demographic — women over 25 — thus making the sing-along of ''Irreplaceable'' a glorious sound to behold. When the tour hits cities with larger gay-male turnouts, medics should be on hand: The true defibrillator moment, all freakum dress changes aside, is ''Flaws and All,'' during which Beyoncé weeps real tears (nightly, according to reports from earlier overseas shows) while apologizing for being such a bitch. That's a rare campy, melodramatic performance in an otherwise energized two hours, wherein the star jubilantly puts the kibosh on lesser divas' claims that it's impossible to dance and croon live simultaneously. And God created woman, indeed. A-

On a personal note...



...Kim Thompson & Nikki Glaspie are two of the best young female drummers nobody's (that's not a musician) ever heard of.
Maybe at least until this tour is over anyway.

And I concur with VoicesCarry.
I could've done without the Soulja Boy segment.
Totally unnecessary.

Flowerz said:

Yes! She should have sung a little more of that.

Beyonce got on booty shorts, I'm glues the the TV!

Flowerz said:

A verse from the song is in that Bonnie and Clyde song anyway.

Good to see all the haters finally realising what a real talent she is.

Just a quick question. Who are the haters that you all are speaking of?

dragondayz said:

Read the org more often. Many hate on Bey. I think she is a great performer.

dragondayz said:

99.99999% of the Org. Heh, maybe that's why Prince hates us. Cuz most ppl here hate Beyonce

i never said the girl couldnt sing (read MY previous posts of other threads) .. what i dont like are her garbage tracks (which they ARE garbage)... and if other artists (a Ciara, Ashanti, Rhianna) had 'her' tracks, they would have flopped, but it's Beyonce... now she put on a nice show for this Experience Live and the style in her music was great (which is what impressed me) would be nice if she took some of that in the studio for future projects and if an artist puts on a nice show, I'll give them credit (i did the same with Timberlake with his HBO show.. was nice) .. but if Beyonce puts out more garbage tracks (like 'Check On'It' no!) in the future.. im saying so.. her singing ability was never an issue and she puts on a nice show...the only ppl i express a dislike for are rappers..

Dang, I forgot about it. And I saw the commercial too while I was watching the repeat of the 07 BET awards. I see mental notes don't hold up..

I have GOT to buy the audio to the show from iTunes it was that damn good although I have the dvd and I'm not a big fan of live audio...

I went for the show, and loved it just as much when watching it again. Songs like DIL and flaws and all made me tear up, as did Listen, and I hope she goes in that direction soon. I always wanted her to be in that direction and not do as much hip hop as she's done.

Flowerz said:

I don't like Check on It either, I think she had to do that for The Pink Panther movie though. I don't think a lot of her hip hop-esque tracks are that terrible I think everyone here is just too biased to accept it.

FYI, much of what you heard vocally was on a track....She sang some of it live and had some "help" in other spots. There was plenty of lip-synchin' goin' on...

I heard If I Was Ur Girlfriend! That was my fave part of the show!

PAPAROBBIE said:

Not really. Suga Mama was lip synced a bit because she was pole dancing. There was a backing track on sometimes but listen to the slows songs, especially Flaws and All. Completely live from start to finish.

PAPAROBBIE said:

If that's the case then, which it isn't, she did better this time around that on the Live At Wembley dvd. I only caught her lip synching once and it was for about 5 seconds on the Expeience...

and proud of it!!!

PAPAROBBIE said:

I thought the same thing.


I thought it was very old school though. She actually put on a show.

ABeautifulOne said:

I just happen to be a musician and performer & I can say with plenty of confidence that there was plenty of lip-synching goin' on.
