Here’s a “mash up” of some of Beyoncé’s performances of “Crazy in Love.” I really liked it. The fan obviously put a lot of time into it (don’t think I could put this much time into a mash up vid…). Anyway, it was fun to see just how consistent she is from one performance to another. Watch it here:

Bono and Beyoncé co-wrote the song, “American Prayer” and performed it together in South Africa. Bono said that it was inspired by how judgmental even the most religious people can be. The point was to eliminate the stigma surrounding being HIV positive. It’s a great performance and an important song. So glad she was a part of it:

Beyoncé sang “Learn to be Lonely” from the Phantom of the Opera soundtrack at the 2005 Academy Awards (Oscars). I thought that some parts of the song sounded better than others but she looked positively stunning (the eye make-up could have been toned down a bit, though).

I can’t believe that I don’t have this video up on here already but while I was scouring the internet looking for Beyoncé stuff, I spotted it and decided to post it today. The hair, the clothes, the beat… it’s all funky. I love it!

Solange Knowles, younger sister of Beyoncé, was spotted on the red carpet at the BET Awards (see bottom right) and then later at The Interscope and A&M Records “Creme Of the Crop” BET Awards Afterparty in Beverly Hills. The party was held at Mr. Chow’s. Has anyone eaten there? I know it’s off-topic but I’ve always wanted to know if the food was really that good!

Beyoncé was not the one in the spotlight this weekend. Her husband, Jay-Z, performed at England’s Glastonbury Festival and she stood on the sidelines and watched Hova on the Pyramid stage. It certainly didn’t look like the warmest day but she managed to still look cute as she kept warm :)

Famous producer, Rodney Jenkins, was interviewed recently and asked about Beyoncé’s third album. He said that all of her songs are “big sounding” and have an R&B meets pop style. After the unfinished track “Beautiful Nightmare” was released and then hearing Rodney comment on her album, I’m very curious as to what this album will sound like. It’s so exciting! The album is expected be released in November, so hopefully we won’t have to wait too long.

b5media’s Entertainment and Business Channels are participating in “The Great Blog Off.” I write a blog on the Entertainment Channel (Daytime Talk) and have chosen to write 24 posts (one post an hour) on that site for charity. Click here for more details.

I opted to put up “great moments” from the talk shows and I couldn’t leave out Beyoncé’s performance of “Ring the Alarm.” It was so excellent and so much more energized than the musical acts they typically get on those morning shows. I loved seeing it again so much that I am putting it up here too. Enjoy and have a great weekend!
