Stay classy and beautiful, girlie.
the video is messed up
THE BEST PERFOMANCE OF THE NIGHT!!!!
@janelle:
seriously the woman of class tonight. she had a smile on her face the whole night and when she gave taylor a chance to finish her speech she stole my heart. Not to mention she killed it on stage.
Her performance was great!! Amazing energy!
That video messed up
The song causes peoples I.Q. to drop. Taylor had the best perfomance - it was fun!
High energy,greatperformance.
And she gave the best performance in giving her time toTaylorSwift.
CLASS A!!!!!
I think Kayne is on drugs or is crazy.
I hate this song. Dumbest song for insect mentality people.
Go Beyonce! it was beautiful that you share your time with Taylor ,Congrats both of you
@shenanyginz: the moment with Taylor was pure class, but come on, there are several times when she has the mike totally down and her ‘voice’ is still singing. and a few parts where the camera shows that she didn’t bother moving her mouth at all. total lip sync. at least when Madonna used to ’sing’ and dance she used a headset so the mike was by her mouth and you couldn’t totally see it was fake.
and that opening did nada for the song for me.
honestly, kanye is such an ass. i lost all my respect for him. he humiliated the poor girl, i wanted to kill him.
beyonce was so sweet to let taylor finish. <333
wow. i used to just like her, but after the vmas, shes so freaking awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love her now!!!!
Well Kanye was such an ass. Now it’d appear wrong to support Beyonce. =P Go Taylor!
I am so sick of this tired, played out ,stupid song and video. Damn, does she have any more songs out that she can sing? She has ran this crap into the ground good lord!
hate the song, overrated & overplayed but she did a nice job & what she did with Taylor made me like her cause she didn’t have to but she did it, she has alot of class & i respect her
AMAZING performance.
Classy Lady.
I love Beyonce!
Even if you don’t like her music, you have to admit she did a decent thing by letting Taylor have her moment.
lovelovelove the performance. go b
This is the BEST performance at the VMA!!!!!
She’s my hero too.:)
Video of the Year ? Come on ! I can tape video like this myself
Her Perfomance was AMAZING!!! Talk about bringing down the house. She’s such a great performer. Pink and Green Day were also very good!!
There is s reason this song was video of the year. It lives up to the saying that less is more. Beyonce doesn’t need fancy props and computer and movie graphics to do a “song” performance. After all it is supposed to be about the music.
Thousands of people copied and remade her video as they could see the difficulty and simplicity of the video and how catchy the song was. The steps were well choreographed and it was done in black and white. Which goes to show you….
Beyonce doesn’t follow a trends, she does what she is comfortable with and works her talents to the best of her abilities.
I love her so much
Katy Perry was talking about Beyonce giving Taylor her moment back Jared, not her performance.
