Take a walk down memory lane with us today, as we look back at one of our favorite Beyonce performances of all time.
Arriving at the 77th Annual Academy Awards with then fiancee Jay Z, the night saw the 24 year old perform a total of three times, honouring three of the nominated songs with her own unique takes on them- the best of these being her cover of the Andrew Lloyd Webber penned, ‘Learn To Be Lonely‘.
However, while the above marked her strongest performance, it was her take on the ‘Les Choristes’ number ‘Look To Your Path (Vois Sur Ton Chemin)’ that stands as her most interesting.
Why, you ask?
Peep the Southern belle perform the cut entirely in French below…
‘Learn To Be Lonely’:
‘Believe’:

I love King B, but as a French person, honestly I’m having a problem with her pronunciation, I can’t enjoy this performance as much as I am suppose to. I appreciate the effort though, it hard to sing in a foreign language like that.
Her duet with Josh Groban is amazing!

No. It is half a million and this was before she sold out Lille Grande stadium. Stade de france is 80K and she sold out there twice, then you add Grande stadium which is over 50k, plus 3 arena’s and you get half a million or so. They are still adding dates. But, anyway, she has made history as a black person; done what beyonce could only dream of AND THIS TOUR WILL SMASH TOURING RECODS. The money she has made in FRANCE ALONE WILL BLOW OUT BEYONCE TOUR GROSS AND SHE IS 24 AND BEYONCE IS 40 AND LOOKS 45.
MORE BAD NEWS FOR BEYONCE: Elle UK are planning a historic move: they are shooting Rihanna for 4 COVERS APRIL COVER. This has never been done before. LOL LOL Rih keeps shutting down Beyonce so called comeback with every move.

Licking your wounds Sam! I know exactly WHAT YOU ARE DOING! YOU are depressed that Rihanna is in YOUR COUNTRY, MAKING HISTORY AND SHUTTING DOWN LONDON Fashion week – something beyonce has will ever do. Rih show i has been called high fashion in the same vein as Tom Ford and Versace, adn this is what Elle magazien said. The fashion world paid beyonce’s ghetto line dust. Talking of Elle, THEY ARE planning to make history by putting Rih on FOUR COVERS – YES! 4 COVERS, and guess which month? April, haha ha the stat of beyonce so called comeback. LOL LOL Talk about karma!
I have just read you on twitter, wooning over some beyonce artcle you claim you read. Still not as good as Rih booking 4 historic covers of ELLE UK. Now, to, make you and beyonce feel adequate, you pull up this oscar thing that no one cares about or remembers. Who won best actor that year?
Adele will win the oscar for the billion dollar Bond that she WROTE! Something makes beyonce at the oscar look ghetto, and now that Steven Spielbeg and Rih liev next to each other and are friends ( HE cast her as lead in his new movie, and asked her to sing at his gala, cos she is ” talented ” ) YOUW WILL SEE RIH Shining at the oscars sooner than later. She has Steven Spielberg. Beyonce is non factor in Hollywood and all the white leading men RAN FROM HER ins star is born, hence why she was fired. Word on the street is that they want Rih and bradley copper to do it.

OH, and she sold out Grande meterople Satdium in Lille France in under 24 hous. That was over 50 thousand. Beyonce is playing sloppy arena’s which are like 15K? at the age of 40? How u gon let a 24 year old, who could be your daughter play to over 50k. In fact, rih has sold out both Aviva dates on Ireland: 60K each. Stade de france – 80k – each.
Twikenham 2 dates – 80k each
Millineium stadium in Cardiff – 72, 500
Turkey stadium – 33 k
2 south africa stadiums 37k
Ivory Coast stadium – 40k
Mawazine festival in morroco 70K headlined by rihanna after beyonce was fired for low ticket sales. LOL LOL

Next, rih will be performing on invite. That measn when Promoters invite you. This is when you are so powerful you are INVITED to play parks and castles. IE) Hyde park, central park, Slaone Castle. Emeimem and U2 were to acts who were invited to play Sloane Castle in Ireland. This holds MIN 100 HUNDRED THOUSANDS and you have to be INVITED.
Rih has already sold out 2 of Ireland stadiums in Ireland pluls 3 arena’s Sloane Castle is next. Rih willa play Hampden park in Scotland one day.
No one will invite beyonce to play Sloane Caste in Ireland to 100 hundred thousand people. She is not a stadium act – never was, never has been. And she is old fat, washed up and fading away. Beyonce has been reduced to showing that ugly jay z girl and going on about how making love to jayz makes her feel hot.
RIH WILL PLAY SLOANE CASTLE to 100k. She will be invited like U2 and emeimen cos she is THE BIGGEST EVER BLACK WOMAN POP STAR.
