Beyonce was absolutely amazing. That entire concert was great. I believe that with that performance, she has finally taken her place among all of the legends that sang America the Beautiful along with her It is great to see all of these people paying tribute to our country and the president that is bringing us all together.

I love Beyonce as an entertainer, but she cannot compared to great singers. This performance had no spirit behind it. It was just pretty singing.

Beyonce is a legend! Beyonce is an awsome performer & her vocals are outstanding!
People fail to give this girl her credit. It was 20 degree in Washington D.C. I was cold standing there, so I know she was freezing, but still put on an awesome performance. I am pretty sure she will do nothing but ripe with time.

Beyonce’s performance was ok but I think everyone is just so tired of seeing her. It’s like anything that happens big she is going to be there. There is never excitement to see her. She should learn from the great’s: Diana, Barbara, Whitney, Aretha…. it’s huge when they do something or appear somewhere because you don’t see them at every freaking thing.

Beyonce was fabulous. She didn’t try to sing too much, but kept it to her own style. She looked great and naturally beautiful. Yesterday and tommorrow are definitely going to be great highlights of her long career. I’m so proud to be a Beyonce fan.

This is for MG…I think you speak for yourself when you said people are tired of seeing Beyonce. I know Beyonce needs to sit down, you Know, even she knows that, but saying your tired of her is meaningless because it takes effort to click on her video and post a comment. You do know when you type in her name it’s gonna show up? And the reason you don’t see those ladies is becuase they’re comfortable with what they have achieved and when we do see them, its nothing special. Anyway it was freezing out there and she did an AMAZING job

For all the haters, Beyonce makes money because she can sing and she can entertain. She proved that with the song Dangersously in love on one hand, and on the other with Crazy in Love. Two entirely different styles of singing. Also speak for yourself when you say people are tired of seeing her. She is an amazing young lady and frankly I am proud that she belongs to America. I not only loved that performance but I also loved her rendetion of Etta James’ “At Last” that the President and the First Lady danced to. You Go Beyonce and God Bless You for that extra something that you added to such a wonderful, memorable special day in our history!!!!

Also for the haters, try lookin’ for the good in people instead of something bad. We should all be on a new page about right now and “hating” of any kind is suddenly very uncool!

Stephanie, it’s Beyonce stans like you that is part of the reason so many people are just plain over her. You fanatics label everyone that does not worship her as a “Hater”. Some people just don’t care for her, they aren’t wishing her ill will they just don’t buy the hype and choose to speak on it because they don’t understand why you all uphold her as if she was next to Jesus on the cross saving our damned souls. Get over it, even your precious spotlight and accolade hungry Beyonce’s 15 minutes will be up one day, then how will you survive? I’m so tired of her ass flinging and screeching.

I ‘m sick of her too. Her face is everywhere that there is something important, and its like she has been placed up on this pedastal as if she were some great talent, which she is not. Her voice is okay, not the 8th wonder of the world as her fans and the media make her out to be. I never did like her voice, her dancing is vulgar, and I can’t understand how they picked her to sick before the Pres and First lady. I guess next thing you know, Beyonce will be running for Governor of Texas or something.

Foxy, your true colors came out when you said “I am so tired of her ass flinging and screeching.” Taking her performance rather personal are you. I don’t like a lot of singers, but believe you me I don’t go out of my way to blog about them at all let alone with such venom. Next thing we know, we’ll hear about you and that deep silly hatred of yours in the news. Learn to control yourself! She is entitled to have a fan base that likes her and if you don’t like that get over it! Bye the way if you don’t like her why do you keep watching her everywhere she shows up. You have a real problem.
