And while that set arrived in stores on Monday, next week sees the release of beefier collection ‘Elements of 4: Live at Roseland’, which along with the New York shows, features a video anthology, as well as never before seen footage. Included are behind the scenes looks at the clips for ‘Countdown’ and ‘Best Thing I Never Had’ – the former being shot when the singer was 6 months pregnant.

Peep the hardest working woman in music do what she does best after the jump…

    Dude…if she was 6th months preggo when she shot Countdown in September that means she was 5month preggo when she did the Roseland in Aug. and she wasn’t even showing in a skimpy outfit….and 4months when she was on Good Morning America in July and not showing in a skimpy outfit? I.Am.So.Confused.

  29. mesa_mese November 25, 2011

    @huh some people wear pregancy different. Every pregancy is different for every woman. I don’t get why and how people don’t get that….she was showing during the roseland concerts you can tell she was pregant.

  30. Shawnte Crayton November 25, 2011

    Let me just say I love and adore beyonce`. I just get tired of people saying that she’s faking her pregnancy and that she has no personality. If you keep up with beyonceonline.com and beyonceworld.net like I do everyday, she’s definitely not faking (check it out for yourself these websites have pictures you just have to skip a couple of pages where you see these pics). She wasn’t showing in her video party because it was shot a month or so before she started showing and she was only a couple of months or so. In her video countdown she wasn’t showing in most parts because she shot those scenes before she started showing. As far as her personality, watch some of behind the scenes videos or interviews where she does have one and where you see her acting goofy.

    yeah yeah yeah, numbers, higher numbers, lower numbers.
    Me, i honestly dont care. when it comes down to it i think beyonce has all the talent.
    I dont like keri, she seems stuck up and full of herself. shes rude and talks s***.
    You never hear beyonce do that, she keeps it classy, and keeps the bs out of her life.
    even ALLLL the b******* this era… she didnt give any of it a second though. she lived her life, performed her best, and killed every show Prego!

    Haters will never understand why we go so hard for our girl Bey.
    but there are many more years for the haters to come around…

  46. BC November 26, 2011

    ahha the 1 person being multiple people.

  47. fatimah November 26, 2011

    beyonce does the same things everytime she has a new album she promotes perfume house of b******* that ghetto h*** are wearing in the hood . i agree she can sing but the b**** has no soul she aint no mary j not even keyshia cole for that matter. beyonce is a washed up gimmick with a need to stay in the spotlight . 4 aint even platinum yet . beyonces career is just a joke if anybody is coming close to the legacy of michael jackson i would say ciara’s dance moves , ushers sales , keri hilson’s swag and performances janet jackson is the closest thing to mj as a female but the next person in line to change the world for the better has to go to misskeribaby , she is highly underrated . just watched her in ADIDJAN this girl is by far the greatest entertainer we had since aaliyah, janet and michael jackson. to beyonce stans give credit where its due . u guys are hating on keri hilson , and u expect her to promote beyonce and become her fan , so what she didnt hold the magazine shes in her own lane . you dont see beyonce holding up magazines with keri hilson on them. beyonce is jealous of other female artist thats why her fanbase is gonna suffer. i’m not a bey fan beyonce her stans diss every other female artist out there. always talking 16 grammys and its not all about that its about the music . is the music touching anyone ?? nooo

  48. Pop Royalty (RUDE BOY) November 26, 2011

    @BC :

    yes I see , so desperate as usual , hahahaha !

    the h** is bragging about platinum singles while beyonce debut went diamond !

    I like Keri but come on , that’s f***** beyonce !

    Birds these days …

  49. fatimah November 26, 2011

    @josh total lies have u heard the lyrics to beyonces diva song ? that song was disrespectful to all other female artist . beyonce was on her high horse ,she was shading every female in the industry with those lyrics stating that she was the number one diva . she only has 5 number ones so how can she say she the queen ? queen of what ? copycat queen i guess. beyonce is cocky! you say keri is stuck up but her stans dont think so we know she is the baddest! u guys are mad that somebody else in in the game who can sing write and perform live. i think keri hilson dont have to steal dance moves and videos to be an icon .

  50. fatimah November 26, 2011

    @ pop dont even lie nothing with beyonces name on it has went diamond keep lying 4 ya girl it wont change that she is a liar and a bigass copycat!

  51. fatimah November 26, 2011

    beyonces first album sold 4 million copies thats not diamond b**** learn how to count 317,000 first week sales . how do i know i was a fan untill i found out that she lies steals and plays the public! beyonce was selling alot in the beginning why? she left her group .people were fans of the group so they bought her solo album. keri hilson didnt come out with a group but she was in on something yall haters dont know . keri hilson has a college degree and she has taken acting in college played basketball . shes even smarter than beyonces ole fake ass.

  52. B_STANNING AND LOVING ADELE November 26, 2011

    Morning desperate haters.

  53. Josh November 26, 2011

    haha haters, you do realize this is a beyonce post.

    You’re welcome.

  54. GLYNNJE November 26, 2011

    LOVE HER

  55. Josh November 26, 2011

    keri hilson has a college degree and she has taken acting in college played basketball . shes even smarter than beyonces ole fake ass.

    ——————————————————————-

    how f****** irrelevant.
    Keri might have a degree, just shows anyone can get one, basketball? shes smart?
    am i supposed to love her now? Those are things i dont give a s*** about when it comes to music or an artist.
    Beyonce has the TALENT, voice, stage presence, amazing past, and everything else.
    That is just my opinion too, dont have to take it to heart.

  56. TYE November 26, 2011
