Beyonce’s pregnancy has taken her away from the stage but thanks to a string of pre-taped events and performances, she will be able to maintain her media presence. Indeed, a filmed appearance on ‘Late Night with Jimmy Fallon’ aired last evening where the entertainer delivered a simple rendition of her latest single, ‘Countdown’.
In addition to televised showings, Beyonce will release her ‘Live at Roseland’ DVD on November 21st and the deluxe ‘Elements of 4′ pack on November 29th. Furthermore, she recorded a duet with Mary J. Blige for the latter’s ‘My Life II: The Journey Continues (Act 1)’ album, entitled ‘Love a Woman’.
Watch Beyonce in action below:
‘Countdown’ is the type of record for which many would expect Beyonce to deliver an exciting round of choreography yet she did nothing. Regardless of her pregnancy, which was in its early stages when she filmed this in July, Beyonce could have at least performed as though she wanted to be on that stage. Instead, she looked bored and unbothered.
On the bright side, Beyonce’s outfit was pretty. Also, did you see her wig fluttering in the wind? She is so amazing! Yes, ladies in gentlemen, that was sarcasm.
i liked it thought it was cute bey has many great performances so i dont care if she choose not to go all out with this one
Trent you are such an fag… You have no right to talk about any body stage presences when Mariah don’t have any at all… While she’s pregnant and while she’s not. Ignorant fag.
Pure Beauty , i love seeing people who are not sedated and able to move ( yes because some people wear clothes that actually fit … ) perform up tempos .

Thank you! We all know Beyonce has more stage presence in her lacefronts than Mariah has had in her whole careere
:clap
Nahh I wish she done a dance routine at least, an uptempo song like this needed it really, I can’t lie it was a bit Zzz to be honest…I still love “4″ though
I enjoyed it. A lot of singers dont even dance to their uptempo tracks on stage so when Beyonce doesnt do it, it’s now boring. smh.
*zzzzzzz* She need to be real and just let everyone know she has a surrogate so she can still perform how she is known to perform because shes stepping in someone elses lane standing in one place and singing to an uptempo song…..
Sorry but Bey sounded quite bad. She actually sounded like a lead vocal on a church’s alternate choir when the main one had an engagement. If she wants to b a serious singer among the ranks of Mariah, Whitney, Patti and even late Amy, she has GOT to do better. Instead of the Beyhive throwing shade, encourage your queen to step her game up.
That’s a bad B, sick, and pregnant and all!
Trent you took the words out of my mouth!
Her vocals were flawless HOWEVER her performance was Boring.Com. Keep it moving Beyonce.
Sometimes i wonder if Beyonce wasnt known for her dancing would she be as big as she is today?
oh PLEASE. during the time of this performance she was SICK and about to do Roseland… i’m pretty sure she would rather save all her energy for Roseland and not waste it on some tv show.
and you have some nerve talking about stage presence when Mariah Carey has NONE. for the circumstances Bey did a great job. i really like this blog but you’ve been coming at Beyonce for no reason lately…
She was obviously sick and her voice sounded off, but she did not look bored. Her facial expressions and stage presence say otherwise. On to the critic, this song deserves an all out dance performance, so I don’t like this.
I’m kind of with everyone else. It was a bit of a snoozefest but she was pregnant and had been sick a week before.
But it is ironic that a fan of Mariah, who has ZERO stage presence would critize BEYONCE for a bad performance though. LOL! Its hilarious.
I think she’s a great entertainer and it’s true that it’s a little funny not seeing her dancing and going wild while performing this type of songs. However their fans keep saying she was sick and also girl is pregnant so I’d give her a break.
I don’t see the need of bringing up Mariah’s name. So what if Trent stans for her you’r the ones who keep bringing her name up. Mariah’s always been known for being a singer not an entertainer/dancer like Beyoncé. Beyoncé has way more stage presence than Mariah -duh!- but Carey = wonderful high notes/vocals (even in her worst days)
Blogger 101 class which you need desperately…It’s an intimate setting (unplugged style) dumbass! That is why there is no choreo. Get a clue!
I liked it….I don’t like how some of yall are raggin on her though. Early pregnancy or not, she might have threw up, been feeling woosy, been feeling..out of it. Unless any of yall have carried a baby, it’s not fair to say that. Yall don’t know how she was feeling that night. Not to mention, she ALWAYS dances. She can just sit there and look pretty sometimes dammit.
I really enjoyed it.
i usually agree with trent..but he is so biased and unfair to bee in this post…’her face looked bored?’ get some glasses, honey. she looks as spectacular and give her a break. she is pregnant. yo would be mad when someone said something about mariah too during her pregnancy..boo
She did good but it was boring. Why are y’all bringing Mariah up… She has nothing to do with it. I bet if Mariah jumped around like the energizer bunny she’d look like she had as much stage presence to. Mariah has stage presence in a subdued way. Mariah Vocals,Music,Talent,Artist >>>….
Who the hell is that?
She’s so over, nobody’s even checkin for her fake ass anymore
