Real fans know this is one of the gems that got away. The dance routine was very important. These visuals which accompany performance are outstanding. The outfits. Searching you tube for this clips. Historic Era!!
True. But it's never work or hard if your truly having fun and enjoying yourself. But your definitely right. I'm sure its hard to Keep up with the choreography and sing live. This is why I love and respect Beyonce.
She couldn't release the song bc of her contract with Pepsi. That's probably why it is underrated. It would've been fire for the summer with Standing on The Sun too but she couldn't bc of her contractual obligations with H&M
@@alkahinat4558 been doing the same. She even said back when she was promoting her first solo single that the Oh-oh dance in Crazy In Love was completely inspired from an ad Ivan dance move. she hasn't stopped including african touches in her art ever since.
@@sarahb6163 DUDE calm down.....We all know it's Afro inspired but doesn't mean they can't be inspired or appreciate. Also B is has always been inclusive.
I love the poise and confidence this woman has. When she comes out walking on stage the first minute of the song it's like...shut up, bitches, because here comes The Queen. Beyonce has perfected The Walk through the years.
Damn! She is an amazing performer and the song is just too addictive. This woman needs to be appreciated for staying in the game for 15 years, to perform like she never gets tired, to continue experimenting musically, for her philanthropy, for her business mind...damn! No one will deny that...even if you have programmed yourself to hate her and criticize her every move. She is still an inspiration.
I love how she put african beat in her songs. I believe it started in run the world from 4? She utilizes it so beautifuly and faithful still to the culture it represents. She's a smart artist and no doubt she's a queen in the industry.
I dont know if confidence rythm with exhibition, but for me this is not and exemple for young girls. Women claim respect but thé way you dress is thé way a man, even a woman Can respect you. You want respect but dress liké prostitute, you want to bé considarated but sing shit, grossièreties. Is sad to sée who poeple took like model today all because of fame and money
She does lip sync unfortunately. I've seen 3 videos from this tour that prove it, even though I suspected it before. It's not even because she can't sing it live, it's just she wants to sound perfect and if she can't dance and sing perfect at the same time, she pre-records the vocals.
CuriouslyAshley lmao kewp telling yourself that honey. Whatever helps you sleep at night. People realized what a fucking fraud Beyonce is when she was caught lipsynhing at Obama's inauguration and now everybody realizes she mimes worse than Milli Vanilli. Deluding yourself otherwise isn't going to change the facts.
Avishek Saini I don’t wanna seems like a stalker but I see you’re a fan on Britney Spears who literally lip syncs every performance , artist lip sync all the time it’s normal I don’t get why you’re shaming Beyoncé who can sing live . Don’t be a hypocrite :)
Dear people, instead of discussing wether she lip sincs, is a good dancer or not, copies people or not and all of the other critisism, just enjoy Beyoncé and her show, 'cause it's a dang good one and you probably couldn't have done it better.
@@Markpierce2674 No offense to Beyonce because I do like her. But, no, she isn't ahead of her time. I won't call her out in a bad way though. Yes, she copies or was highly "inspired" by others that came way before her. Anyone who knows history and knows about music knows Beyonce isn't doing anything that hasn't been done before.
Lisa Cox Everybody know nothing is new from under the sun..Mj didn’t make the moonwalk nor the did Whitney Houston make I will always love you stop coming for Bey when she has her original ideas behind her back!
I love how beyonce just makes everything classy the way she presents herself and even performs its fun to watch and I LOVE the Moroccan or African beats in this song excuse me I'm not sure which it is but its beautiful love this song
The beat is from Mandé or Mandingo west Africa, the guy voice is kouyate from Guinea. A family brother of Mory Kanté. In west Africa the Mandingo or mandé ka have the best pure African beat
Jay Powell I turned 21 last month and forget all about this song 😩😩 but I did play it the day I had my first drink 💁🏽 I had to pay for my phone upgrade yesterday , but my sister didn't because my granny says "I'm too grown for that "..bet that'll be the only time she uses "grown " and my name in the same sentence 😂💀
This is what You called a real performer she commands the Stage her presence Is automatically known She is the best Female performer hands down She really put in the work
For ppl saying she lip synchs: did yall not see her perform at the super bowl and KNOCK IT OUT THE PARK. She can dance and sing apparently so damn well that she sounds perfect. This comes from PRACTICING. You become better at things the more you PRACTICE them....change your own life and PRACTICE doing something you love instead of resorting to the PRACTICE of spewing disproved "observations"
I don’t care what other female empowerment, race eqaulity songs she made: THIS song is the epitome of all beyonce stands for and by far my favorite song and choreography of hers. She’s so full of fun and power and LIFE! She really embraced her roots and showed off vocals, dance,stage presence, performance skills all in a couple of minutes. There may be a lot of singers who can do their thing just as well but i doubt if ANYONE can pull off this song so effortlessly and charismatically as Beyonce did here.
Beyoncé always DELIVERS in every single performance. I wish she performs this song more often, it’s so underrated. I hope she puts grown woman back on her set list for her next tour.
Orane lol the thickest one with a leotard. I dont understand why she had on the cutest outfits. if beyonce wouldn't had been singing someone would of thought she was the lead of the group.
I actually saw Beyonce with the Les Twins perform this song live at the Essence Music Festival, a few years ago. I was amazed at her energy and endurance level. Beyonce was the headline act, thus she didn't take stage until around 11:00pm. Grown Woman was her final song. It was hella late, yet Beyonce killed this song. I stood wondering where does she get the energy from. I was tired as hell yet all I was doing was watching her perform.😂😂😂
And people say she do the black is king movie only because it’s benefits for her now and can make money ! Lol this video is from 2013 and she already promote black African culture ! Stupid haters
Haters Are Annoying And You Listening To The Song Shes A Grown Woman She Can Lip Sync If She Wants Its Her Song So She Can Do What Ever She Wants Dang Haters Omg

This song is such a hit, one of my favs from her and definitely one of her most underrated songs smh!
I went to see her live on this tour and didnt know this song beforehand, but as soon as I heard it played alive it stood out. Still love it
i hope you're jamming to it now that she's put on streaming services for the 10th anniversary of her self-titled album
@@maeigaon I BEEN JAMMING!!!
True. But it's never work or hard if your truly having fun and enjoying yourself. But your definitely right. I'm sure its hard to Keep up with the choreography and sing live. This is why I love and respect Beyonce.
SHE FINALLY RELEASED THIS MASTERPIECE ON STREAMING SERVICES
OMFG THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME KNOW I DIDNT KNOOOOOWWW😭😭😭😭😭 WAS WAITING MY WHOLDE DAMMNNN LIFE
omg she really did!! thank you!!!!!!!
I would never know if I had not seen your comment huhu God bless you!!!! I always use the music video to listen
What u talking about
THIS SONG IS UNDERRATED ASF
I love it! Always play it on my birthday.
She couldn't release the song bc of her contract with Pepsi. That's probably why it is underrated. It would've been fire for the summer with Standing on The Sun too but she couldn't bc of her contractual obligations with H&M
as an african i am glad that beyonce included in this song purely african rythms
killa pop Cameroun hein???
As a Mexican American, no one has sounds like Africa! Birthplace of music :)
She's smart, and proud , i love her for that
I’ve been telling people for a while Beyoncé includes African elements on her art, people don’t hear me though 🤷🏾♀️
@@alkahinat4558 been doing the same. She even said back when she was promoting her first solo single that the Oh-oh dance in Crazy In Love was completely inspired from an ad
Ivan dance move. she hasn't stopped including african touches in her art ever since.
YAS THE DIVERSITY OF SKIN COLOR OF THE DANCERS I LOVE IT
prkjxon right that’s one ☝🏾 of the reasons I love 💗 her
I dont understand why the white girl there isn't this about strong Black/African women
@@sarahb6163 DUDE calm down.....We all know it's Afro inspired but doesn't mean they can't be inspired or appreciate. Also B is has always been inclusive.
@@YONCE8701 I said what I said sweetie
@@sarahb6163 Doubling down on the ignorance just brings you more into focus, sweetie. How sad for you!
I don’t think people understand just how physically demanding this song is to perform live. That choreography is insane
Along with her singing! 😱 they did amazing!!!
Probably why she doesn’t do it often. The choreography is insane.
What a joke.
@@nothereyetlost yes she does 😂
@@teetee2732 Then I would love to see you making better choreographies
How does she sound this good while singing and doing all the choreography? Like How? #flawless
Her dad used to make her run a mile while singing to build up her tolerance. After years of practice, she makes it look easy.
@@00inwiththenew00 yup and let’s not forget he use to make her run a mile in high heels
Well she’s lip syncing
@@Badgalriri2.0 not even you believe that
@@Badgalriri2.0the mic is always on!
its not fair that i was broke during beyonces most iconic eras. I WANT A REDO
SAMEEEEEEEEEEE 😭

Nine years later, she's still in the game. I remember when DC came out way back in my senior year of high school....WOW!
These comments are amazing - they serve as record we have been seeing her greatness for a verry long time now!!! Real Hive Know
And now renaissance tour
25 years now!!
Her energy is craaaaaaazy!!! I would love to see her tap back into this organized chaotic movement again. So fire
She's 42 and has three children. Bey is still an excellent performer but she is 31 yrs old here. Like MJ her legacy is solidified.
Yes! The Mrs. Carter was my fav to watch! Coachella is a close 2nd. Had to accept Bey us getting older & entering a new era but still great!
I love how she screams ahhhh! At the beginning
I love the African inspired theme/music.
The dark skin girl next to Beyonce was killin it, she was there to have a good time
She works it !! ♥♡♥
+Daphne Dee Yessss that's DnAy she don't play no games
OKKKK and she is FIONE!!!
and her thys are life 😍😍😍
if you mean the chick with the thick legs I was watching her more than Beyonce
I love how she put african beat in her songs. I believe it started in run the world from 4? She utilizes it so beautifuly and faithful still to the culture it represents. She's a smart artist and no doubt she's a queen in the industry.
on
End of time. Run the world is Jamaican.
Nope
It started since bootylicious. Watch her oprah interview and that song is way back destiny's child
Genre of run the world is jamaican but the dance is African, the captivating one at the beginning
She started doing it in the Deja Vu video, dances like a proper African 💃🏿🔥✨
I freaking love Beyonce, she's a great example of women's empowerment! African women are the best 🤘🏻I admire y'all for that!!! 😃
I love Beyoncé! ❤
her songs and choreography actually restore women's confidence in their physique
I dont know if confidence rythm with exhibition, but for me this is not and exemple for young girls.

She is a Black American
@@becnai3273The song, dance and visuals are West African. She sampled a Malian singer. Her ancestry is African as well like ALL black Americans
As a proud African i absolutely enjoy the African vibe in this song. You go girl!!! And she sure can do the African dance too! I love it!
Really?
musos yeah really
@@auralkill4249 i love her, no doubt that she's an excellent dancer, but she failed at that african dancing.
musos you’re African?
@@muzo really
People think B lip-syncs because they know most artists do it so its weird when artists don't
She does lip sync unfortunately. I've seen 3 videos from this tour that prove it, even though I suspected it before. It's not even because she can't sing it live, it's just she wants to sound perfect and if she can't dance and sing perfect at the same time, she pre-records the vocals.
Wesley Etienne ive been to her convert and she does not lip sync. under certain circumstances she does, but not in her concerts. you can even here it.
CuriouslyAshley lmao kewp telling yourself that honey. Whatever helps you sleep at night. People realized what a fucking fraud Beyonce is when she was caught lipsynhing at Obama's inauguration and now everybody realizes she mimes worse than Milli Vanilli. Deluding yourself otherwise isn't going to change the facts.
the fact that she looks like she has lip-synced is because she has this crazy perfect control over her singing even when she's dancing
Avishek Saini I don’t wanna seems like a stalker but I see you’re a fan on Britney Spears who literally lip syncs every performance , artist lip sync all the time it’s normal I don’t get why you’re shaming Beyoncé who can sing live . Don’t be a hypocrite :)

Lisa Cox like I said and I will say it again because she does not copy she been ahead of her time! You can’t even name one thing she copy off?
Lisa Cox Everybody know nothing is new from under the sun..Mj didn’t make the moonwalk nor the did Whitney Houston make I will always love you stop coming for Bey when she has her original ideas behind her back!
THANK GOD FOR QUEENB.
Babando...
I like this better than the original studio version, the African beats and sound just makes it amazing
It’s not
I love how beyonce just makes everything classy the way she presents herself and even performs its fun to watch and I LOVE the Moroccan or African beats in this song excuse me I'm not sure which it is but its beautiful love this song
Morocco is Africa too ... but this beat is not from Morocco, it sounds more like west African music.
Sounds like a Mali beat to me , when the guys sitting I automatically think of Youssou Ndour (Malian singer)
+LeonieNgandu Youssou N'dour is from SENEGAL, not Mali dear.
People are so ignorant about my dear continent!
The beat is from Mandé or Mandingo west Africa, the guy voice is kouyate from Guinea. A family brother of Mory Kanté. In west Africa the Mandingo or mandé ka have the best pure African beat
THIS IS A GREAT SHOW PIECE... I didn't care for the song until I saw it performed as a live show... She is the ULTIMATE performer of today's industry
the black girl in the red gave me life.
YAAAAAAAS! SLAYONCE!
2:58-3:12 is one of the most joyful moments I've ever seen and heard in my life.
Damm the twins are killing it
I'm going to sing this on my 18th birthday to my mom and I'm a boy.
Yassssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!...pls slay it thooo

2:48 I can go slow all night long..them twins cold ...the whole performance was on fire but that was my favorite part
Those back up dancers are something serious especially the one in the brown/ coral rumper. I'm out of breath just watching.Weerkk!

Killed It. No Surpise. xx
THE ENERGY, THE CHOREOGRAPHY, THE FITS 😍🔥🔥 bey and her dancers effortlessly killed it!!!
Remember when we said "She should put this song on iTunes" L.O.L.
Her accidentally slapping one of the twins never gets old
I love those two twins always dancing in her live concerts! Great performance.
She smacked the shit out of Laurent lol
Her dancers are fab!
Beyoncé always DELIVERS in every single performance. I wish she performs this song more often, it’s so underrated. I hope she puts grown woman back on her set list for her next tour.
she is perfect.
them black back up dancers killed it
Her hair too good.
The guys or girls? If you mean the men, then they are the "Les Twins" The "s" is silent because they are French.
Agree with you
@@CharIott3 and black ..
They was doing for our ancestors ❤️❤️❤️
i use to watch this video all the timeeee
I think it's one of the best choreography she ever danced ! And I love the beginning of the song with her dancing on the screen !!!
Beyonce is fierce
Still listening in 2022 and beyond 💫 Beyonce plus Les Twins is THE BEST!!!
little did we know, she would be dropping an album months after this performance
That sounds like an amazing experience. I hope I get to see her live some day! She is a living legend.
That part with les twins is my favourite.. Watched it so many times
This performance is amazing! :D Love dem backup dancers
I love her live performances including vocals.
I honestly I miss this era !
You should've appreciated then I guess
I can't stop watching this she is such a great performer
This part of Africa in this song
SHES A LEGEND FOR REAL OMG
I love that intro!!!
So proud of my Queen Bey!
Love this song... Wish the studio version was longer.
I literally remember when this was posted in April of 2013. Wow 🤯 ten years already?!
Enjoying this now

2:49 my favorite part 😌🥰🥰
she killed it
here in 2021 .. this still blows my mind
she was born for the stage
She's sooo unique ... ❤️👏
The single that never was :'(. Didn't even deserve its own M4A file on iTunes.
+Carlos Lucio RIIGHT! LMFAOO I'm so mad this and Standing On The Sun did not get the treatment it deserved.
Lmao yes! This was heavily slept on but 7/11 got too much attention smh
+Jimir Davis She couldn't release Standing On The Sun because of her contract with H&M
Now this is cultural appreciation love from Nigeria
I love her white and gold shoes.
OMG! i saw blue and black;-D
Hahahaha ^
I agree I saw blue and black
Moneybrooklyn 2005 I saw black and blue shoes to but there blue
I saw blue, black and at times maroon lol
3:37 OMG QUEEN SLAPPED HIM IN THE FACE, I WOULD BE SO HONORED
Me too
One time Beyonce slapped me in the face... it was awesome :'D
Henna Dhaliwal I see what you did there...
And then say (( one time beyonce knowles slapped me in the face and it was awesome ))
well she said I'm a grown women i could do what ever i want
was i the only one distracted by the thick girl
Nope. Lol
paola knowles Which one? There are two thick girls lol
Orane lol the thickest one with a leotard. I dont understand why she had on the cutest outfits. if beyonce wouldn't had been singing someone would of thought she was the lead of the group.
paola knowles Her name is Dnay Baptiste. She's the 3rd best of Beyonce's 9 dancers. She's awesome, I love her.
+paola knowles i agree them theighs on that girl is distracting
I can listen to this song non stop and it never gets boring!
Never a dull moment with the Les Twins lol
Beyonce, is so much power as a woman, in her own right.
That entrance was bad af bey you really the queen of entertainment 🙌🏾
I love this song! I didn’t know she performed it live.
She perfomed it in full at Chime For Change in 2013 as well
Legend says at 3:57 she was yelling at Keyshia Cole who is sitting in the audience lol
AGÁPĒ 😂
well she dissed michelle not beyonce but yes beyonce better come for her!!!

Respect for all the things she has done and her crew!
My fave Bey choreography ✨
The dance routine is a beast.
She was way ahead of the Afrobeat trend!!!!!!
Queen B alwayssss Powerfull, amazing Performance.❤❤❤
And people say she do the black is king movie only because it’s benefits for her now and can make money ! Lol this video is from 2013 and she already promote black African culture ! Stupid haters
"I can do whatever I want"!☺️
2:49 is often slept on, but so hard to do vocally lol n this performance gave me so much tina turner, its ridiculous lol
I keep watching this over and over again!! So addictive!! A true entertainer.
those two black girls with the heels that jumped WHERE FREAKIN WORKING!
God i love this women so much she is my idol since i was 11 omgggg shes so perfect at performing
I CAN DO WHATEVA I WANT!! #BEYONCENATION
LOVE IT WHEN SHE SCREAMS AND NECK ROLLS AT THE END.
4 to self titled era was special 💛
Best ever
and I was there
Ksyn Cason and Denee Baptiste are the names of the two black female dancers in this routine. Ksyn is in the pink, Denee in the blue leopard print.
Those African dances tho !!
Those are les twins and their not African they are from France and known worldwide
Szymon Szczerba she means the choreo even her outfit and basically the whole song is obviously africa influenced
Szymon Szczerba I'm very aware that they are not african they are actually from the caribbean islands of Guadeloupe who reside in france :)
Proudly West-Indian The african sound at the end is not from Guadeloupe it's from west africa the guy who's singing is doing it in dioula.
Em Doua Lou i never said nothing about the music tho & i was talking about les twins o.O
The only live performance that I can watch over and over by Beyoncé
Haters Are Annoying And You Listening To The Song Shes A Grown Woman She Can Lip Sync If She Wants Its Her Song So She Can Do What Ever She Wants Dang Haters Omg
***** thank you!
