good evening! i’m still reeling from last night’s beyoncé show – her i am… tour stopped by los angeles’ staples center and put on a truly incredible show … i liked this show way better than her last outing (two years ago) for the beyoncé experience which just tried too hard – this time around girlfriend had a perfectly balanced show and showcased what she truly does best – singing & dancing! when i purchased my VIP ticket a few months ago – i wasn’t sure if the price i paid for my 2nd row floor seat would be worth it – but i’d gladly spend it again – it was worth every hard-earned cent – my view was perfect (mom tina knowles was sitting right in front of me) it was amazing to see B do her thing from just a few feet away! during get me bodied my mug ended up being flashed on the jumbotron screens like three times – i was beyond excited! (plus i was twittering & dancing up a storm) the set list (posted below) was a perfect mix of new & old material – i can’t even begin to tell you guys how much i enjoyed the show … i’d seriously love to see it again – beyoncé is a true performer – and managed to put out tons of high energy and good vibes into the audience … everyone around me was eating up every bit of it! (at the end she sang halo and did a small tribute to michael jackson which was particularly touching since less than a week ago – his coffin was at the very same venue) when all was said and done – i was totally beat – i can’t even imagine how she must feel after giving it her all – if she’s coming to a city near you – i’d highly suggest picking up tickets to see ms. knowles – you will not be disappointed – she’s a force to be reckoned with! popbytes over & out for now … xoxo
