the fact she found time to rehearse for a whole medley in the middle of a worldwide stadium tour is incredible. everything about this whole performance is just a masterclass. from the stage design to the setlist to the visuals to the vocals to the new choreo to the transitions to the costume changes to the use of space to the audience reaction... it's perfection. AND she was sick! 😭 bey really dominated 2016. the lemonade era is so special.
Perfectly said. She gave stellar performances that entire year. Her best of her career. She was already iconic by this point but she solidified her legend status with Lemonade. Amazing career.
@@kc7159 let's not drag Ari considering her and Mac and Frankie we're praising her the entire time in the front row and Beyonce gave Ariana r.e.m. and an IVY park package let's nawt 💀💀
RIGHT!? I mean, it’s one thing if someone doesn’t like her style of music, but to deny that she isn’t a talent, iconic, gorgeous, amazing performer is just simply delusional lol
She a good vocalist not the greatest, Jennifer Hudson has better vocals than her. If she didn’t then they would have gotten Beyoncé to play the queen of soul ARETHA FRANKLIN in Respect.
@@jeremyc.4801 the reason jhud played Aretha is bc jhud is the princess of soul and she was hand picked by Aretha , not bc she the best singer lol beyonce vocals is untouched
@@jeremyc.4801 Look how quick you are to compare her to Jhud. The comment called her one of the greatest, not even the greatest. But you were so quick to say some is better than her. Can't you see how she is the standard. By the way, Beyoncé is bigger than playing Aretha. J Hud needed that for her career. Thank God she did a splendid job.
No one: Mtv:so B what song are you performing this time? Beyoncè: Lemonade MTV: yeah yeah. Which song? Beyoncè: LEMONADE MTV: but that's an album! Beyoncè: it's a song. Watch.
Beyoncé really had the best performance of the night and of vma history she even did better than her own vanguard performance and she keeps getting better
Agree... after VMA 2014 we questioned her can her top that? Then 2016 shittt she gave best performance alive, can she top that? Then 2018 fvckkkk She gave BeyChella!!! Hell tf she set the standard higher.... now again, can she TOP BEYCHELLA?
This was an iconic performance, one of the best MTV will ever have. Can you imagine VMA got a free 15 mins concert. It was epic from beginning to end.... My queen forever! Legendary! ❤❤❤
@@jaysasmr8644 she hit the camera and on don’t hurt yourself she spun it around but idk if these were rehearsed or not because I thought they were. What do you think?
It’s crazy how much taken this woman has. No one really compares. Thank you OP for this video because it really shows everything from a different perspective. The immense work that goes into stuff like this: dancers; production team; camera man and beyond. Truly a Beyoncé experience!
When I watched this performance I was 16 and it was not clear the message she brought in these songs (not because of her, but because of my lack of information and knowledge about the BLM cause) and even so I was enchanted and I knew that she was fighting for something there, I just didn't know exactly what it was. Today, at the age of 21, after learning and recognizing my white privilege and watching this performance, I feel chills and pride in how much she has been changing the lives of millions of people for the better. Nobody does it like her. She's the BIGGEST!!! God is God but Beyoncé is Beyoncé.
Beyoncé got an award show sounding like a concert people that came to see some awards getting handed out is shouting for Beyonce literally who does this the visuals transitions choreo Beyoncé is on another level
Wow! That’s a whole another perspective! Made me even more impressed! That part when the dancers got up out of nowhere! Schocked! Beyoncé is THE legend!
I don’t think people understand the excellence that went into the production from the lighting department to the choreographers everything was on point. Of course the execution was 120%. Beyoncé is really the GOAT
YESSS, you uploaded !!! so glad you did the most iconic performance in the history of the vmassss!!!! omg, I remember me watching it at home everything was so spot on that is not even funny lol every single detail
Always she throw the house through the window,the production that was a mini concert inside the VMA'S, cause that year she had "THE FORMATION" tour in north america her dates fit on the VMA'S season.
Now I got to see it for how it really looked from the audience perspective and not just for tv land. Tv land is better I now can appreciate the whole performance as a whole from this view. Thanks for sharing❤
No one does medleys like Beyoncé! She gots visuals, interludes, choreo, she plays with the camera! Maaaan, we need a Black Is King medley next yo!
I hope in 2021or 2022😆
@@heartbreakermc2 I’m crossing my fingers!!! 🤞🏼🤞🏼
Yes, of all the performers I miss hers the most! 🙁🙁🙁
Yes lord
I know das right especially already and my power with the lil dance

Me too !!!!!
😂😂😂 but it’s true!! They been holding back!
Exactly...
Honestly!!!!
The definition of a modern day legend!! No one doing it like her.
YUP
Say it again!!!
Louder!!!
Exactly
PERIODDDD
she literally overshadowed every performance that night. a legend
Well not Rihanna both Queens ate
Rihanna slays but her performances that night were a mess, we cannot deny that

the funny thing is that she was in Capri in Italy a few days before the vma

I still can't comprehend how people call her overrated when no one can pull live performance like this lol
Just haters say that 💩!,,
RIGHT!? I mean, it’s one thing if someone doesn’t like her style of music, but to deny that she isn’t a talent, iconic, gorgeous, amazing performer is just simply delusional lol
I just remind myself that legends before her highly praise and admire her - That’s all.
She's born as a performer. She doesn't need radio hits to sell out the tour.
She is one of the best singer, vocalist, performer, musician, enertainer who ever lived on this planet!
Bow down to the Queen!
She a good vocalist not the greatest, Jennifer Hudson has better vocals than her. If she didn’t then they would have gotten Beyoncé to play the queen of soul ARETHA FRANKLIN in Respect.

This was happening during the Formation tour. She had only a couple of weeks to rehearse. It is beyond me how hard working this woman is.
Even the camera men was doing dance moves lol freaking love the genius of this lady.
I find it amazing how a performance of her turns into an event, the woman looks like she's in a tour show, all worked... Finally The Queen 👑
Wait a minute…. Did the VMA’s build the ENTIRE STAGE AROUND BEY PERFORMANCE!?!?!? 😭😭❤️
It's the attention to detail and technicalities for me 🙌🙌🙌 Our Queen been been serving us for decades!!!
I felt bad for people who performed after her she stole the show
Yah no one will top that ,🤣
Britney had to follow that 🤣 I love ha but damn they did her dirty
I remember watching Britney and chain smokers after this and I remember thinking they should have stopped the show after Beyoncé 😂🔥🔥
@@perismanyasi7170 did Rihanna perform before or after Beyonce that night?
No because my sista really ate this performance the hell up! Idk a better woman.
Period!!!
Damn y’all act like she did the whole performance by herself she did have help smh

Never delete your video whoever recorded this. History fr and the view is great to see from this perspective 🔥
