Beyonce To Make Stage Return At Alicia Keys’ Black Ball

Published: Thursday 20th Sep 2012 by Sam

May marked the return of Beyonce to the stage following the birth of her daughter Blue Ivy at the top of the year. However, fans hopeful to see more of the superstar thereafter were left somewhat disappointed when she returned to the normality of her day-to-day life. Indeed, the nearest her ever-loyal BeyHive got to a King B performance was her moshing in the pit of many a festival this  Summer gone

That’s all set to change come November, however. For, it has been announced that the ‘Crazy In Love’ singer will hit the stage at Alicia Keys‘ annual Black Ball gala.

Details after the jump…

According to the Associated Press, the 31 year old and Carole King will perform at the November 1st fundraiser which is held each year to benefit Keys’ Keep A Child Alive charity.

Keys’ herself (whose new album ‘Girl On Fire’ arrives later that month on the 27th) will also take to the stage at the Hammerstein Ballroom event, which this year honors Oprah Winfrey and Beninese singer Angélique Kidjo. The pair are being recognized for their philanthropic efforts.

Actress and talk-show host Whoopi Goldberg will sere as the the night’s emcee.

********

 As with all Ms. Carter performances, this is sure to be an event in itself. Needless to say, roll on November!

Randomness: Ironically, it was at last year’s London Black Ball that we quizzed Alicia on the whereabouts of her and Beyonce ‘Put It In A Love Song’ video. We’ll share the footage of her response some day, one day. Until then, check out the ladies live performance of the track below…

    • 40acresandamule@yahoo.com September 20, 2012

      Beyonce is very classy. You obviously have never seen that growing up so its a foreign concept to you. Sorry honey. Beyonce is in no way fake. That just quiet, calm, and classy. Sorry you dont know what that is. Too bad.

    • Bey + MC Slay Your Faves September 20, 2012

      Beyonce always leaves haters pressed while she remains unbothered.

    • R****** Navy: Broke,Ugly & bitter September 20, 2012

      Girl shut the hell up! Nobody cares about Flopshawn.

    I don’t care! Alicia Keys’ ass is so dry and Beyoncé needs to make a new album.

  6. hood_star_06 September 20, 2012

    THAT WAS HORRIBLE FOR ALICIA – SHE SHOULD REALLY STICK TO THE BENCH AND PIANO BECAUSE MOVING AND SINGING ISNT HER THING

    • Peter Griffin September 20, 2012

      She can’t dance. No rhythm.

      • Lisa September 21, 2012

        She does not NEED to dance, she is one of those MUSICIANS that can sit still or stand still and do her thing, she does not need the gimmicks and booty shaking and p*ssy poppin to do her thing.

  7. S****** Blonde September 20, 2012

    Beyonce looks horrible.

    • MC September 20, 2012

        @S******

        Because they’re practicing reading, its still not natural for them!

      • MC September 20, 2012

        Its always a war on a Beyonce/Rihanna post so if anything negative is said about the former, you know a certain Hive will be doing back flips. They especially don’t like you, pop, etc….they hate me too but whatever.

      • S****** Blonde September 20, 2012

        @Benron (King Of The Navy)
        LMAO!

  8. Benron (King Of The Navy) September 20, 2012

    This h** stops shaking her ass for like a month and her fans jizz in their pink underwear at the thought of her “epic returns” b****** goodbye.

    Beyawnce is so irrelivant! She has had no singles impact on the radio in the past 4 years, her album tanked and hasn’t been on the charts since late 2011 and this h** is now trying to get hype for a “comebck” when her last comeback is barely over.

    She is now making a comeback with a huge megastar right? Nope, Alicia Keys, who cannot even sing a single note on key! BeFlopsay is desperate, she is almost 40, her fake pregnancy stunt and reborn doll didn’t work and nobody will ay attention to her anymore #POORDAT

    • RG2 September 20, 2012

      For a Rihanna fan you sure do stay checkin for Beyonce everymchance you get. NOW REALLY WHO ARE YOU REALLY A FAN OF YOU STAY TALKIN ABOUT ABOUT BEY AND NOT…….I’M SORRY “WHATS HER NAME”. Heres question for you: How is Bey a flop when she has PERFORMED for and MET President Obama multiple times? Does Rihanna have the star power to meet the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED F****** STATES OF AMERICA b****? I think not, so try again because everything you say about Beyonce is so redundant. Shes irrelevant, yeah that why her and Jay-Z are the highest $earning couple$ from 2011-2012 and they are worth a combined $800 Million, with beyonce being worth $300 Million alone. #STFUBitch

      • KING-BREEZYONCÉ September 20, 2012

        WOW YOU KILLED THE B**** !!!

      • Benron (King Of The Navy) September 20, 2012

        Why would Rihanna wanna meet the president, he was having campaign rallies all throughout 2008, rih would of went. Who said she even supports him?

      • Virtuoso Intellect September 21, 2012

        lol tell me about it. So irrelevant she’s dining with the prez, performing at UN HQ, being named world’s most beautiful woman, having a course named after her, a rare species named after her and making 40 mil a year. Kii

    • DC3 September 21, 2012

      If she’s irrelevant then why does she still get nominated for awards and win them? Doesn’t matter if 4 wasn’t as successful as her previous albums. It doesn’t change the fact that Beyonce is a successful artist and icon.

    • KingBey September 21, 2012

      4 was on the charts 2 weeks ago.
      Alicia is a better artist than Rihanna.
      Beyonce was apart of telephone two years ago. Sweet dreams was a hit, as well as halo.
      Love on top was a mega r&b hit.

  9. Peter Griffin September 20, 2012

    Beyoncé’s giving Alicia a ‘come to bed’ look in that pic…lolz

  10. White girl mob September 20, 2012

    Beyonce even try’s to bleach her skin so she can live the life kreayshawn lives well beyonce you can’t cuz you’er with a big lip m***** like gay z & all these other ghetto s*** you be doing.

    • Benron (King Of The Navy) September 20, 2012

      I totally agree with this comment, deadass serious.

      • RG2 September 20, 2012

        HAS YOUR MOTHER’S DISEASE INFESTED S*** BAG P**** RECOVERED FROM THE G******** & H***** INFESTASTION. ITS NO WONDER WHY YOUR MIND IS SO POISONED; YOU HAD TO PASS THROUGH THAT GHASTLY HELL BOUND BIRTH CANAL. I BET YOUR BIRTH WAS MORE LIKE AN ABORTION FOR HER MORE THAN IT WAS THE WELCOMING OF NEW LIFE. YOU AND THAT B**** YOU CALL MOTHER ARE #StinkPussyHoes. YOUR BOTH GONNA ROT IN HELL WHILE SATAN SHOVES HIS INFLAMED C*** UP YOUR ASSHOLES YOU DIRTY S*** MONKEYS.

  12. Rick September 20, 2012

    Andddddddddddddd the crowds goes crazy for King B. She went easy for Alicia keys sake. Looking super s*** as always

  13. That B*tch September 20, 2012

    Yesssssssssss!
    This is gonna be epic. Two of my favorite singers.

  14. Beyonce’s Weave (“Inspired” by real hair) September 20, 2012

    More publicity efforts for Hollwood’s biggest thief, what philanthropic efforts from BeYAWNce when the b**** constantly steals song credits from actual and real songwriters. The b**** didn’t even include Ne-Yo’s name on the song credits for “irreplaceable” in the original BDAY cover until she was caught stealing and was so embarrassed that she included it in the re-release.

    BeYAWNce is a shameless thief, fake, liar and crook and until she compensates Des’Ree, Ne-Yo, En Vogue, Jennifer Armour (Song: Baby Boy), BC Jean (Song: If I were a boy), Lorella Cuccerini (Billboard Awards stolen performance), Rickey Allen (Song: Cater 2 U) to name a few for their hardwork, creativity, and intellectual property rights, she should be exposed as the shameless thief she is.

    • Trace September 20, 2012

      You’re a Rihanna fan. You know nothing. You have no taste. You like cheesy, corny pop music, aren’t at all intelligent and are basically an airhead.

      In case you forgot, let me remind you: you’re worthless. If you perished tomorrow, no one would care.

      Again, worthless.

      #Dismissed.

      • Beyonce’s Weave (“Inspired” by real hair) September 20, 2012

        Well research proves that BeYAWNce has the most unintelligent fans. Also, “Check on it, Run the World, Ring the alarm, Diva, Video phone” not generic, repetitive, over produced garbage?

      • Trace September 20, 2012

        No, dear, what research proves is that Rihanna can’t sing, dance, or act for s***….got her ass beat to a pulp by Chris…and has a very large forehead.

        Documented and notarized.

        Thank you.

      • Benron (King Of The Navy) September 20, 2012

        Hold ON………….. Rihanna makes corny pop.

        Beyonce is the most shallow singer I’ve ever heard, sit down!

    • KING-BREEZYONCÉ September 20, 2012

      You post the Same boring s*** every f****** day !!! Beyoncé don’t give a F*** about what peoples on TGJ says about her GOLDEN ass!!!

      #REVELDVDv” coming soon “

    • DC3 September 21, 2012

      I almost feel sorry for you. Do you have a life? Your in every Beyonce related post on TGJ. You must be a really ugly b**** if you hate Beyonce.

  15. Oh Baby (B****** Will Deal) September 20, 2012

    I simply can not wait!!! Bey never seems to disappoint, and like it has become standard on mother music’s posts, the pressed b****** a.k.a closet Bey stans comment first tihihi. Gotta love mama slayonce!!! Come slay the closet stans with your voice!

  16. I almost crashed my car into Rihanna’s forehead September 20, 2012

    Both Beyonce and Alicia are 10x prettier than RIhanna (aka Jaba-the-Forehad), and 20x more talented.

    Just had to stop in to say that real quick.

    Bye.

    • I almost crashed my car into Rihanna’s forehead September 20, 2012

    • oh baby (b****** will Deal) September 20, 2012

      I see no lies in your observations. I heavily concur!!

    • CS9 September 20, 2012

      EVERYBODY is 10x prettier and 20x more talented than Rihanna.

  17. Teacher September 20, 2012

    Daamn!! How many ‘RETURNS’ will this b**** have?

    • Benron (King Of The Navy) September 20, 2012

      She like that h** at a party that walks in and nobody cares , so she leaves and then comes back in louder and expects people to care.

      She’ll probably do that 10x times.

      • quetta September 20, 2012

        Obviously you care. Your in every beyonce post. Even in a rihanna post your talking about beyonce. @Teacher how many breaks can rihanna take? none. cause her ass can’t be caught slippin or she will be #REPLACED!

      • mobwife: stigmata September 21, 2012

        LOL 🙂

  18. quetta September 20, 2012

    They both look good. And I can’t wait. Anywho, goes back on twitter to laugh at these tweets from roscoe dash.

  19. Virtuoso Intellect September 21, 2012

    Anyone else find it funny when rhitards call another artist a “h**” ? Lmaoooo oh lord where’s Drake when u need him? Hell lets get Meek Mill for testimony.

  20. DC3 September 21, 2012

    Some of you haters are stupid.. The performance isn’t about Beyonce. It’s for charity so she’ll probably be singing a ballad like “Halo”.

  21. the real xoxo September 21, 2012

    been a fan of these girls for like a decade!
    both are 2 of the best of our time.

    • LOL September 21, 2012

      I AGREE!!!!

  22. Chester September 21, 2012

    But yall all talking about Rihanna & Dissing her
    BUT she’s OUTSOLD BOTH Alicia & Beyonce #StayMad

    • LOL September 21, 2012

      Rihanna is only good at selling singles. NO THE FACTS!!!! Rihanna album sells SUCK!!!!

    • Virtuoso Intellect September 21, 2012

      We are not talking about her. Her stans are just parasites

  23. kelly September 21, 2012

    Damm! Beyonce is tryna claim 30? You mean that fat lard woman is younger than Zoe Saldana who is 34? NOPE. She is at least 40. Bey loooks so olddddddddd

  24. Tru Voice September 21, 2012

    Alicia sound horrible in the clip. She looks s*** though, as did Mama Bey.

  25. Hilly September 21, 2012

    Awesome, I’m really happy! But the real question is: when are they releasing the “Put it in a love song” video?

  26. Britbutnotproud September 21, 2012

    I love Alicia but her vocals were very weak. Bey slaughtered her.

  27. mobwife: stigmata September 21, 2012

    Same ol’ same ol’ to me!

    I use to really like Alicia Keys now all I see is a MIRANDA LAMBERT style homewrecking s****! I hope she produces new music that will draw me back in. Her music as of late has been very disappointing. “Girl of Fire” is just not it!

    • Lisa September 21, 2012

      Are you referring to your stinking a** mother? go look in her closet before you get on here talking sh*t you piece of trash.

    • Karen September 21, 2012

      Well seeing as how you don’t even know the name of Alicia’s new song “Girl ON Fire”, I don’t think your judgement really matters. Btw, there is nothing disappointing about Alicia or her music. Her new music, like her is on fire and if you don’t like it, then don’t listen to it. I’m sure she’s not going to worry about making a song that will please you, someone who is openly demeaning towards her and her music. I doubt she could stoop to your level of immaturity.
      As for the Black Ball, I know it will be a huge success as it always is but this year I believe will be especially huge as Carole King is an icon and Alicia with her will be quite something to see. A piano battle maybe? The people who attend should consider theirself very lucky.
