In her 15 years on the scene, Beyonce has undeniably established herself as Pop royalty. Naturally, then, it was only fitting that the singer gave a nod to the undisputed King of Pop, Michael Jackson.
Advised not to travel due to her pregnancy, the 30 year old and her troop of dancers staged a tribute spectacle to the late, great great star, beaming it in to the Millenium Stadium at last night’s ‘Michael Forever’ show in Cardiff last night via satellite.
Peep her show-stopping rendition of ‘I Wanna Be Where You Are’ after the jump…
Having actually been in the arena, it’s safe to say Ms. Knowles stole the show despite being thousands of miles away. The definition of a show-stopper. Great performance.

It was a brilliant vocal performance.I don’t know if it was 100% live, but I loved her vocals from beginning to end.I didn’t really appreciate the choreo, but it was mostly about the vocals, so it was a good performance.In all fairness, I’m just glad that Christina and Beyonce were there to salvage this trainwreck of a tribute

Beyonce just has that star power that overshadows everyone. That I love. Beyonce has a great voice. That was film at roseland where she sang all her songs from 4 live. Why wouldn’t that song be live? Beyonce is great and some people just cannot take it. There is no denying her legend status in the future.
My past school mates said the same thing, she did steal the show. I believe you Sam, well why not

i dont know why i fucking hate michael jackson children cause each time i see them they remind me the bad side of him (changing color skin,mental slavery about white is better than black and others stuff like that) at their place it should have been beautiful black children but what do we see? a bunch of white bastards yeah cause they’re white and its not their real children they didn’t even have his DNA what a shame for mic hael that i love for the music but he was really sick in his head sorry but i had to say that

Why these wars with every Beyonce post? Beyonce shines live all the time. That’s her thing. Sure she lip syncs parts of songs sometimes(but she even lip syncs better than every other artist), but any singer that performs that much should….or they end up like Adele with all sorts of voice problems. You cant full out sing for 3 hours every night without damaging your voice. The entire world knows she has the goods to perform live, so if she lips it sometimes to save her voice, Im cool with that. So, why everytime there is post of a B performance is their 50 responses talking about how she stole the show from everyone else? It’s a forgone conclusion that she will be standout….there’s no need to shade everyone else to give her her props.

Beyonce is so consistent and her vocals killed it.
@THETRUTH
I actually hold similar feelings, though you put it a bit harsly. I don’t hate them because they hold no blame or responsibility for anything, but it’s difficult because they are a reminder of Michael’s mental slavery and deep rooted issues with looking black. So much that he couldn’t even produce MIXED/half black children. A shame.

@CHEZ sorry boo he didn’t adopt them he simply decided to fabricate them to his white image with debby roe cause he asked for a white sperm to fecond her sorry but he coulds at least jack off and give his own sperm to debby roe if he realy wanted this children cause for me its not an excuse theve not been adopted theyve been fabricated and that all the truth

People are so damn disrespectful about MJ children its not even funny. Look, that’s his kids regardless, You people don’t know them, you don’t live with them, so STFU!!!! Paris is mixed even I can tell, even the Prince II aka Blanket is mixed, just because his hair is pressed straight, that doesn’t mean that he’s mixed. Ok, what if all MJ kids were full dark skinned kids, you people are gonna insult them about they are too dark or whatever. You Americans are soo damn lost its not even funny. Until you people who are haters have proof that they are not his kids- SHUT YOUR DAMN ASS MOTHER F*CKING MOUTH!!! Do you know mixed people look like when the are younger?? They look white, I should know, when they get older, there skin color changes, don’t no one know biology?? People stop talking shit and go back to school!!

Mj had vitiligo,and lupus as well as many strains of other diseases in his bloodline, he suffered for many years with various alemnets , i wouldnt want to have bilogical born kids either if my dna was that diseased why dont you think Janet and her other siblings decided not to have children, michael didnt believe white was better than black he imbraced his culture said several times before his death that he looked at himself as a BLACK artist , he even accused record labels of being racist and not giving black artist the credit they deserve. secondly Mj loved and cared for those kids ,so what if they arent biologicaly his kids, they still Know him as father . He sang to them damn everyday before he died. Shit Brad and Angeline adopt black kids every five seconds know one white ever says “oh, they think black kids are better”. ugh ignorant azz n!ggas sorry but that what ya’ll are educate ya damn selves

BeYAWNce is rumoured to be somewhere and she’s not, so they film and edit and RE EDIT and re-ecord everything til it’s just right and then air it “oh she stole the show” pulease. IT’s disrespectful that she couldn’t even show up, yet STILL had to be there. Bitch please

Chrystele Saint Louis Augustin
Rashida Jones
Mariah Carey
Amanda Marshall
Wentworth Miller
Jennifer Beals
Cash Warren
Leila Arcieri…the list goes on
You’re all just MAD & JEALOUS that those 3 kids are inheriting MJ’s money and yall are broke!
Yall would say “those aren’t his kids” even if they were dark with nappy hair because yall think he was some idiotic asexual freak who would buy sperm from 3 different men!!
MJ was not an idiot! Those are his kids. Blanket looks exactly like him. Prince looks like Michael’s grandfather Samuel. Paris looks more like Debbie & La Toya

Remember folks. Every time you buy a MJ album, a video game, a poster, etc, you are putting more money into the hands of three already rich children, who by the way, are not even his real kids. Arnold Klein two white children are profiting very well from money being made off stupid MJ fans. There was a trust fund set up for them at the concerts that went down last week. Can someone explain to me why a trust fund from ticket sales is going towards some millionaire kids? The three kids know this and they are going to be pimping out themselves at all opportunities so they can make more money. Meanwhile hardworking Americans are losing their jobs, their homes and filing bankruptcy. It is an insult for these three children to try to represent a black man and call themselves black.

You are so stupid, it is not even funny. None of the people you listed above looks all white. They all look like they are mixed with something. Mariah Carey can never pass for a white woman. Prince and Paris look just like their white mother and their white father Dr Arnold Klein. You only have to see Prince and see Klein. Blanket does not look like Michael Jackson. Blanket may not be white, but he sure as hell is not a black child. Admit it, you got duped by MJ, and you have been made a fool of. You just don’t want to admit that your idol was a self hating freak who did not want black children.

Mariah Carey-her natural hair and pre surgery nose says shes black
Amanda Marshall-dont know who that is
Wentworth Miller-curly hair, big nose, looks ambiguous
Jennifer Beals- clearly not white
Cash Warren-clearly not white
Leila Arcieri-clearly not white
ya’ll delusional motherfuckas kill me! them cracker kids are the spawn of klein and rowe! no way in hell are they michaels! you can draw all the charts you want and compare them to other people who KNOW for FACT they are mixed it still won’t change that them two is white and blanket, poor blanket has no clue where he came from! god forbid they have health problems they won’t know where to turn! watch, one day one of those jacksons will spill the truth! its a damn shame and quite hilarious how you all think they are his! even paris knows which is why she tries so hard to convince herself she’s mixed and bakes herself in the sun and self tanner!
