After delivering a show stopping performance at last night’s BET Awards (from halfway across the globe), global superstar Beyonce was all smiles during a sit-down with BBC‘s Lauren Laverne and Jo Whiley.
See what the ‘Best Thing I Never Had’ singer had to say about her history-making headlining of the Glastonbury festival and more after the jump:
What I love most about Beyonce is how simple she is – she is a powerhouse performer who relies on nothing else but raw talent, great vocals, high energy and a strong work ethic. No wonder some of today’s best new acts like Adele and Jessie J find her to be so influential.
BEEE!!!!!!!!!!! HATERS STAY MADDDD!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
shes so amazing..oh congratz beyonce on rtw making it to #1 on the hot dance singes chart!! and for “4” MAKING HISTORY IN THE UK! BEING THE FIRST ALBUM TO GO # 1 IN 34 MINS ON ITUNES!
i hope she makes a video for End of Time next, i really liked that performance above all
I LOVE this woman! You can feel her spirit. She’s so passionate about being a musician and it completely shows. She always expresses sooooo much gratitude and never takes any experience for granted. Truly an inspiration.
4 is a 4lop!

I’m sure she was eyeing Glastonbury after Jay-Z and was taking notes of her performances the year Jay did it. More than enough time for perfection. Hmmmmmmmmmm
YAY KING B HAS DONE US SO PROUD I LOVE HER SHE DEFINE ALL ODDS AGAINST HER THE REVIEWS FOR HER ALBUM IS MUCH BETTER NOW AS PEOPLE SIT AND LISTEN TO WHAT SHE HAS PUT OUT I LOVE THIS WOMAN KEEP UP THE EXCELLENT WORK AND CANT WAIT TO SEE YOUR NEW VIDEO THE ANTICIPATION IS KILLING ME LMAO
She is adorable
LOL at Crazy in Mud
What type of fruits are GLANSTOBERRY
Gotta love her 🙂
4 is already #1 in 14 countries : ) . Not that bad for a flop
Being mad makes you ugly . Trust me , y’all don’t need that !
Go Bey!
She’s such a sweetie. I really don’t know where people get the idea that she’s fake or arrogant, because she seems to be the very opposite of those traits, and I can’t recall a single instance where she’s ever displayed arrogance. But more the point, she KILLED last night, and pretty much cemented her status as THE ultimate performer of this generation. I actually feel sorry for the haters and narrow-minded music snobs who can’t get over themselves and take notice of the talent that is in front of them, because they’re missing out on so much.
@ FameKills:
She said herself that it’s the next single, so there will be a video.
I saw at her live at Glastonbury and I was screaming by my head off. I couldn’t believe she touched my hand. It was like an angelic touch which made me Halo so fitting and made me cry.
@NANA APPLEHEAD
Care to explain how 4 is a flop when it’s #1 around the world.
@JAZMINE LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THEY REALLY DONT UGLY COMES WITH HATERZZ AND THEIR FILTH!!!!! TALK OVER PLAIN TALK BAD MANNERS LOLOL
Reading these comments would have a person thinking you are speaking of God or some higher power, and not a human being. smh, some of worship and idol too much.
Beyonce did the same thing she always does, nothing new… the fans are fooled not the others.
@ Icon:
OMG, she touched your hand? I’m so jealous of you!
Question, is 4 #1 in America too?
The way people love beyonce and praise her is SICKENING, it’s not even kind of funny it’s so disgusting. Never in life have I witnessed such a sick set of fans willing to commit murder for a mere s** seller, she’s does nothing for humanity exact make horny people moist, and encourage the spread of S**’s
This sick love stans have for beyonce is like the sick addiction perverts have for p***-stars, it’s like kidnappers and stalkers in psycho movies like “the roommate” “single white female” “the hand that rocks the cradle”. Beyonce stans are psychos like those monster from WRONG TURN, the image of beyonce selling s** frustrates them and makes them aggressive, her fans must be young or lonely nerds because young or lonely psycho nerds go insane over p*** stars.
Something is wrong with a person who would become violent just to defend a singer and their garbage s** songs.
@ ICON
omg your so lucky.im watchin glastonbury while it was streaming online
@kenny
kenny stfu we know beyonce is not god..i dont worship her i pray to god and only him..i just love beyonce thats all have a seat
LMAO!!! ^^^^^
xD
no comment at all
lmfao i laugh at the haters..your not even worth somebody taking you serious ugh
@Kenny
4 has not be released in America yet. It’s released tomorrow same with Canada and Japan.
@TB/CHRIS
Seriously, I’m still disbelief. I felt at that moment I was going to faint. She’s such a beautiful soul.
@I Don’t Like It Here
Only thing “SICKENING” is you and your hateful misguided remarks.
I don’t get how people can come on a post about beyonce and get upset because her FANS are congratulating her on making history yesterday.
It’s not about worshipping anyone. I have been ridin wit B since No,no,no and for me, to see the person she has become. How hard she has worked is nothing short of amazing. When I first started checking for her In the 90s I had no idea in 2011 she would be te star she is today. I’m just along for the ride and to top it off she is a great entertainer. She can actuakky sing. What’s not to like? Everyone has their faves so it’s not worship. I’m glad all those hating h*** at BET and sitting at home got to see just how far beyonce reach is. That crowd at glastonbury was nothing short of amazing. She has fans of all races across the globe.
So to sit on a computer and hate on this woman who has worked hard to get where she is to me is just pathetic. And sad. This interview alone shows who beyonce is. And that is why we love her.
@Chris J
You’re statement is false, you know why? Look at how you approached my comment, you took this so seriously you needed to defend yourself.. but question, if it doesnt apply to you then why did you respond like you were pressed? I dont know you and was not specifically speaking to you, but you took it to heart.. maybe thats for a reason.
@Sweety,
Thanks for the info, wasnt sure.
@Kenny
+yawnz+
And how is beyonce album a flop and it’s not even released until tomorrow? Like fr real this site annoys me with the people who comment it just makes no sense. Next Tuesday when the numers are in feel free to call it a flop but until then have a seat. You haters are so pathetic. It’s funny. I feel sorry for u guys.
Worship
The reverent love and devotion accorded a deity, an idol, or a sacred object.
The ceremonies, prayers, or other religious forms by which this love is expressed.
Ardent devotion; adoration.
often Worship Chiefly British. Used as a form of address for magistrates, mayors, and certain other dignitaries: Your Worship.
v., -shiped, or -shipped, -ship·ing, or -ship·ping, -ships, or -ships.
v.tr.
To honor and love as a deity.
To regard with ardent or adoring esteem or devotion. See synonyms at revere1.
The haters are not worth it at this point, lol. Sad…
@ I Don’t Like It Here:
You’re gonna die of heart problems if you continue to remain this dedicated to hating someone who doesn’t even know you exist.
And if her fans sicken you so much, then why the f*** are you on a Beyoncé post? Sit down and take your blood pressure medication.
@ Icon:
I hope I’m lucky enough to be that close to her when I see her live. I’m glad that you had such an epic experience last night. 🙂
im so proud of beyonce. she continues to break down barriers and stays humble through it all. her album was considered a flop before it even came out yet despite all of the negative buzz around it, it has managed to make it to #1 in 17 countries. beys hard work ALWAYS pays off. i know the word H.AT.E.R is played out to DEATH but if u have ANYTHING negative to say about a woman who has made history MULTIPLE times, can sing her ass off, can perform her ass off, and has made it in the industry for over 12 yrs off of talent alone then thats the ONLY word to describe you.
4=FLOP
you dont have to worry baby i promise i’ll set your mind free
Flop ass flopyawnce! I won’t write 2 much today, her 1st week sales r gonna say it all. I’m off 2 go play the amazing album femme fatale. Which is
In stores by the way, lOl

Question, is 4 #1 in America too?
*********************************
LMFAO…NO! It’s not even on the US itunes charts period.
The interview was boring.She obviously wasn’t ready to speak.She looked A BIT warmer,though, compared to other interviews she’s done(robotic eyes, cold answers etc)
However, when popstars churn out the word “rockstar” I cringe…Just don’t…A rockstar doesn’t have a stylist and does not do campaigns.You’re a popstar.Keep it there!
Her BTINH performance is still slaying me…INCREDIBLE.Everything else.hmm
THAT 4 IS A FLOP IN AMERICA DOESNT MEAN ITS A FLOP CAUSE ITS IN THE TOP 10 IN THE REST OF THE WORLD!!!!!!!! SO STFU DOT COM!!!
Alright, 4 is not a flop and IT HASN’T BEEN SENT TO US iTunes. Albums are released on TUESDAYS in the USA… On another post, I said that Beyonce stans shouldn’t really rave about her based on iTunes stats. Well, her haters shouldn’t bash her based on iTunes stats, either
ummm..yeah..shes great and so is cruella Daville!!
@ASAP
It’s not about the album being released but about pre-orders and BLEACHonce hasn’t charted in the US chart period based on that.
@IAT
Get real! lmfao! The album is charting on the R&B charts on itunes..nowhere else!
End Time Video Mrs. Knowles Carter. She reminds me of MJ and no not the way you think. She is very soft spoken bust when the bish gets on stage something great happens.
Your Fav could never……….

So, you’re bashing her for something…well…not actual.You cannot predict how the market will react to 4. I’m not even an enthusiastic fan of hers, but just because her pre-orders are not good, that doens’t mean the album is doomed.
(However, if 4 is indeed not doing well on pre-orders, I feel kind of sorry for her stans that were saying she had sold 200K on pre-orders alone)
GODDAMN How many Beyonce post are we gonna get?! We get it you like her but SH!T, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!!
@ASAP- Umm Steven Tyler, Ozzy Osbourne, Gene Simmions, and Bono are ALL rockstars that have done campaigns…..
@queenbey will always… and THIS is the reason why SOME rock fans bash them and think they’ve sold out…
Old flop flop skeet skeet slutty bitchy lacefront everyday stank breath from kissing camels booty flat havin fAke nose boring personality same old performances doin ass. Lmao!!!!!
And it seem like ppl are still mad @ QUEENBEY bcuz she choose to keep her private life…..umm…..private *Get da f*** over it already*
Kyle just wait til the album comes out.im sure it will sell more than femme floptale.
Best thing I never had number 3 on uk iTunes. Album number one!!!!!! Ah normality has been resumed. I’m still watching glasto again n again!!! Missed loads first time around. U
Know she us rockin shepards bush 2 night. She has blown uk away!!!!
@ICON,
I am so jealous of you!!!! I’m so happy that you had that experience.
@KYLE, “femme fatale. Which is In stores by the way…” Right. Just like I told you before, “in stores” is where it will stay.
In relevant news, I LOVED her “End of Time” performance. Tomorrow is the big day. I have waited oh.so.patiently & I cannot wait to hear the album.
So excited! 🙂
6/28.
She’s So Sweet 🙂
I Still Can’t Believe She Has Haters…

LMFAOOOOOOOOOO YOU SOUNDD MADD BABYYYYY 🙁
@ chloe
I agree!
Can’t wait for my digital copy of 4,tomorrow viva Target Deluxe edition!
Cute interview. She did a PHENOMENAL job at Glastonbury! I loved her cover of “S** on Fire.” SLAYED.
@King B
I agree 100% with your first comment!
@Kenny
You are VERY persistent, aren’t you? I can’t understand why you come to EVERY Beyonce post, just to gripe about her stans when you KNOW they’ll be here doing exactly what annoys you.
It’s also funny how you’re referring to the first few comments as “worship” yet I don’t see you in ANY other artists posts claiming that their stans are “worshipping.” Why is it only Beyonce stans that get that description? Not that there aren’t Beyonce stans that don’t worship, but is it any different from another stan group?
I don’t know where people like ASAP & BEYAKI are getting the info from but I just looked at the US ITUNES album chart and’4′ is in the top 20 (15 when I looked) based on PRESALES alone.
@ANNE
Poor thing! You’re confused. Please tell me..where do you see “4” on the US charts? I’ll even provide you the link.
http://www.apple.com/euro/itunes/charts/top10albums.html
LMFAO!
She’ll struggle with 1 million in the US 🙂
She looks haggard in this pic.
She was way more relaxed in this interview than some others she has done. And this is the first time i’ve seen her not wear heels LOL. She’s so funny and nice too.
But does anyone else think she’s pregnant? In this pic, her tummy’s way more rounder than what it usually is.
Yes she is simple…. which one can see in her music too. But an amazing performer. I´m really curious about her first week sales in the USA
See was beaming and glowing!!
Great Job.
Obviously some in a festival like that won’t be into all her music BUT she put it all out there and showed the greatness of a powerful performer.
Glad she got to experience that from the stage.
Her performance was boring. She looked really old and her hair looked a mess. I do love her work ethic and usually love her performances, but she just seems so tired to me. She broke a sweat, but it was eh.
