Band! 1234!
If you consider yourself a fan of ‘Pepsi‘ belle Beyonce, you’ll be all too familiar with the above.
A staple in the star’s live renditions of her 2003 classic ‘Crazy In Love‘, and now- in remembering one of her strongest servings of the songs- today’s Retro Rewind takes it all the way back to 2004. More specifically, BPI’s BRIT Awards.
Catch the then 23 year old in all her Andre 3000 assisted glory below!!
YES SLAY SLAY SLAY, I REMEMBER THIS!!!!!
It sounds like we are in for a MAJOR music moment come March 1st, according to Ryan Seacrest!
Yesterday, the Idol host announced on his radio show that a huge pop star would be dropping a new single in little over a week!
Ryan teased:
“I’m particularly excited about some new artists we’ll be playing here soon. But mostly… I think A LOT of people are going to be absolutely thrilled about a certain single coming out in ten days. I can’t give it away but she let me listen to a part of it… definitely a chart topper. Definitely a nice re-entrance to radio.”
Hmm… the options seem endless! Or do they???
Some people are saying the new single could be coming from Britney, who has been hard at work on her new album and even dropped out of X Factor to focus on her music!
And, while Scream & Shout IS currently on the radio now, Brit Brit is technically just featured on the will.i.am song!
Another possible option the new single will be from?? Beyoncé!
Gurl has been taking over lately with her recent documentary premiere and her Mrs. Carter Show World Tour starting up on April 15th! She also hasn’t had a single since 2011!
Oh, and her upcoming album is even said to drop in April, too!
Then there’s always Mariah Carey, Ryan’s Idol counterpart, who just released her Oz The Great And Powerful soundtrack song, but hasn’t had a single on radio since Triumphant over the summer!
Of course we can’t forget about Selena Gomez, who is supposedly releasing her new single in March… and has her flick, Spring Breakers due out on March 22nd!
Guess we’ll just have to wait until March 1st and leave it up to you to vote for now!
Who Will Be Releasing A New Single?
Beyoncé
Britney Spears
Mariah Carey
Selena Gomez

Oh….
This song has really evolved since then
SHE HAS REALLY GROWN AS AN ENTERTAINER BECAUSE THIS PERFORMANCE WAS GOOD BUT HER PERFORMANCES TODAY WOULD PUT THIS TO SHAME.
Her voice TRULY got stronger over the years – her vocals were very nasal and thin here. Beyonce never had a ‘bad’ voice, per say, when she was younger but, as opposed to how powerful she sounds now, you can definitely hear the innocence.
Anyway,cool performance.
It’s not one of her more renowned ones but her energy was great and her body looked Superb.
Stop tooting her horn…. Once again
Loved this performance she has grown so much sidenote TGJ is really doing the most for hits all they have to do is fix the reply button its not that hard Sam!!!!!
that’s the real beyFRAUD, she has been lipping all along.
grow up
the brit awards and every other concert, or tv event. Same performances, same sequence, all the time. what is new? 1,2,3,4 whooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. love beyonce but im dying for something fresh already. something unpredictable. something that doesnt make us stans look a fool for always defending the same things since dangeroulsy in love. she slays but shes boring already.
Same s***, different year!
And I am sure that you still watched that “same old s***”
Even a beyonce performance from 9 years ago reminds you how basic these chicks are on stage today smh ..
Damn how many retro rewinds about Beyonce have these guys over TGJ done during the last week? 3? I mean come on! haha Music history is so full of epic performances and artists, way bigger than Beyonce, that this is ridiculous
No shade to Beyonce, she did her job
a century later she is doing the same dance moves and milking ”crazy in love” endlessly …
THAT WAS FIRE!
Queen Beyonce and no one else!
Beyonce2013
yup that’s how she sounds live. she has been lipping all this time. we can clearly hear her heavy breathing not to mention she barely sings but talks. she did this exactly at the Superbowl with the few notes of singing and talking. she even lipped to the start of Halo but the end part was the real her…screams and screeches.
she got exposed at the inauguration.
that’s what over EXPOSURE will do to you…..IT EXPOSES YOU!!!!
she had massive thunder thighs then and still has them now.
you’d think for someone who’s been dancing All this years that they would have killer legs that would be the envy of All.
its All that life supply buckets of Popeye’d chicken.
FAT, FRAUD & OVERATED.
WHAT’S WRONG WITH DOING THE SAME DANCE MOVES? CRAZY IN LOVE AND THE OH OH DANCE IS ICONIC.
RIHERPES CAN’T EVEN DANCE TO BEGIN WITH SO DON’T TRY IT SUNK NAVY!
I cannot believe that was 2004! She looks the same just sounds a lot better even though she sounds great here.Wow I was in middle school when this aired.Love the performance! This song has seen so many renditions over the years. I got my Mrs.Carter show tickets and cannot wait to see the best do what she does best. However, as a fan I think its time for a reboot, revamp I’m her stage style.gor instance if she came out dressed like Audrey Hepburn, dark hair and all to perform countdown, maybe with a midriff …that’s my only complaint. Beyoncé doesn’t need the extra bells and whistles that other singers rely on, but if she did add that it would really really cement her as the greatest entertainer of the generation.don’t hate me fellow beyhive members.I just want to go to her show and be completely suprised with new arrangements. Costumes that aren’t all onesies and a wig change or two.oh and MALE DANCERS! I know she has them but it’d be hot o see a performance where it was all men and then she was the don diva among them…ughh I should work for some kind of marketing artist company
@erin
same for vogue’s choreo but Madonna was able to change it up for the superbowl ….beyonce is so yesterday and dusty, DEAL.
DEAD AT RIHANNA STANS TALKING ABOUT ANYONE LIP SYNCING AND NOT SINGING LIVE WHILE THEIR FAVE SOUNDS LIKE THIS
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrrg-Vatkh8
One of my favorite performances from her
the one and only you go bey you hate mongrel supporting reho isbecause you have do much hatefor talented bey you all want her to fail but you all are not god god bless bey and her family for life
@Erin
Rihanna was 14-15 then and she is doing good now.
we are talking about the one who faked it.
she has been lipping all this time and fooling the public. and you her stans have been bragging about how great she is, how she never lip syncs, how she can dance and sing live at the same time etc.
she got exposed.
NAVY YO SHOULD BE ASHAMED TO SAY THAT BEYONCE IS RECYCLING OLD MOVES BECAUSE WITH THAT SAME RECYCLED MOVES SHE IS STILL MILES BETTER THAN RIRI SO KEEP IT CUTE.
Dead at the Navy saying Bey doing the same routine. Can Rihanna do a routine? The Navy cannot criticize dancing or singing when Rihanna can do neither. And don’t’ confuse patting her puss on stage as a routine or her ok tone as her ability to sing.
I’m sorry but Beyonce is hardly an entity in the UK. Cheryl Cole is bigger than Beyonce in the UK. Hell Cheryl Cole doesn’t have to run countless ads to sell out an arena and yet Beyonce is doing that. Does Beyonce even have a platinum certification in the UK. Have any of her albums sold over a million in the UK?
She has 4 dates at the O2 and she’s supposed to be the queen…really????
Yes Actually,
She has 7 Platinum albums in the UK, 5 of which are multi-platinum, 4 of which have sold over 1 Million copies in the UK.
She has 28 top ten hits in the UK, 7 of which went to #1.
on her I Am…Tour she sold out 7 shows, on this tour she’s set to already sell out the 6 shows announced initially.
I live in the UK.
Cheryl Cole is not by any stretch of the Imagination bigger than Beyonce.
Beyonce could have sold out those Arenas without the Adverts, she clearly just signed a deal with O2 to play the O2 Arena rather than Wembley Stadium, shoot an advert and got a truckload of money and free promo, needed or not needed promo is always good.
Again The Navy is Deluded.

Wow she has an amazing range, tone, resonance, pitch control, and displays some of the best rifts and runs. Beyonce is an exceptional vocalist.

BEYONCE NOT RELEVANT IN THE UK? LMAO!
THE UK VOTED HER BEST POP STAR IN THE WORLD

Aren’t you guys in the hive tired of listening to crazy in love and sashaying to Single Ladies? When is the next time your fav will have a hit? Any hit?
She was only 22 here Sam. She did a greatjob for someone that age because now at 31 and pretty much since the bday era when she turned 25, she’s been slaying the stage like no other! Proud of her.
deaaaaaaaaaaaaath at a leona lewis stan asking for hits when she hasnt had one memorable song or performance! Complete deaaaaaath!
She always look so cheat and sluty.. beyhoe
lord she was fineeeeee back then. looking like a delicious piece of golden bronze heaven… now she got she got blonde hair and pale skin smh, looking like someones aunty.
Seriouly she has gotten better, but when you perform the same thing over, and over don’t we all???? hmmm
So I see the Rihcunts like @ Slaybitches soul is pressed. Sweetie where have u been. Under a rock???? R**** is the cheap untalented s***. She’s has had more men run up n that stretched c****** of hers, than how many days Blue Ivy has been alive. And lmaooooo @ The Rihcunts saing anything about performing on stage. U all stan for a h** that thinks showing her c****** on stage, is equilavent to amazing vocals. The woman has only put one or two halfway decent shows. The rest is full with sceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerching, howling, gruntin like a goat and that nasal ass singing. Kesha SLAYS Rihoeanna on the stage. And that’s says alot. @ Beyus……I really think that’s KING B. The album drops n April and her last two eras, she has drop the single a month earlier and then the album drops. That’s called a Boss B****! No let’s drop the album during the Holidays or around controversary. Like bringing up how my bf beat my ass. #2013……THE YEAR OF BEYONCE
in the meanwhile Rihanna’s STAY is #3 on Billboard 100!
I don’t give a f*** … Yea Rihanna’s music is dope. I can admit that. But I’d rather watch Beyonce do the Uh oh dance and sing Crazy in Love 10000 times than watch Rihanna perform PERIOD! I’ve seen both of them in concert, Beyonce twice actually, and she slays Rihanna live. Rihanna’s stage presence is simply inferior to Beyonce’s. No shade to Rihanna though because I love her swag but she’s not the better entertainer of the two. Oh, and navy stans have some nerve trying to diss Beyonce’s performance’s lol. Not only is Rihanna a weak vocalist, she’s can’t even do the two step without looking awkard lmfao. Let a lone bust any of move’s remotely close to Beyonce’s. No shade, just being honest.
@LOVEBIRD (BEYONCE’S WEAVE) No, not really. Now the operative question is if you Leona Lewis Stans are tired of listening to “Bleeding Love” every damn second lmfao. Because that seems to be the one and only hit that your fave has ever had. So, when is the next time your fave will have a hit? If any LoveBird?
Shut up b****! we can finally reply to dusty h*** like you!
So because I have a difference in opinion from you I’m “dusty” ? smdh. Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion including myself…. Your beyond ridiculous and childish. God bless you though boo! 🙂
Hun somewhat hacked my computer, and i was still logged in…i sincerely apologize do i ever speak like that? no….
@HONEYCHILDPLEASE “Hun somewhat hacked my computer, and i was still logged in…i sincerely apologize do i ever speak like that? no”
Honestly, yes you do especially when in regards to Beyonce. I don’t comment on TGJ all of the time but I do read its post quite often. As of lately, or ever for that matter,I have yet to hear you say anything positive about Beyonce. Whether her actions or accomplishments be commendable or not you always seem to be negative. Why you feel the need to relentlessly speak so negatively of a aritst whom you hate or so often refer to as a ” flop” idk? Its perfectly understandable if you dislike her body of work. I could relate to that, being that I don’t like Rihanna as an artist. Largely because I don’t think that she has good stage presence, tone, or vocal/pitch control but I don’t hate her. I even give her props at times. Like her recent mag. cover for ex. I thought that she looked really nice. Plus, I think that her song “Diamonds” is great. But it seems like you are incapable of giving Beyonce credit where its due. Whether or not you think that she’s ugly, fat, or old is all subjective. At the end of the day, she is an exceptional vocal technician and one of the best overall performers of our generation. With commendable achievements in addition to that. In all honesty, its quite hard to take anything that you say into consideration; because you seem very bias. However, your entitled to think what you want. Whether or not you agree is absolutely fine. Its your prerogative…Excuse the lengthiness lolol 🙂
beyawnce doesn’t dance, she gravitates. jlo is a dancer, shakira is a dancer. what beyawnce does is what you will see in a strip club.
22? she looks old. she always has. lies about age we can clearly see it now that she is cough…cough “31”.
This is very true no lies in this
Yeah you are right. Jlo is merely a dancer because vocally she suck’s. Beyonce on the other hand, does what she is supposed to do, which is sing. Because she’s a SINGER. The fact that she can sing the way she does while dancing her ass off is simply a bonus. So stop hating.
NO WE ARE NOT BECAUSE LIKE IT OR NOT CIL IS A CLASSIC SONG AND THAT IS THE POINT OF CLASSIC SONG IT IS TIMELESS, THAT IS LIKE ASKING IF YOU ARE TIRED OF LISTENING TO AN MJ ALBUM OR WATCH JJ ROUTINE OR ARE YOU TIRED OF A AF SONG.THE POINT OF MAKING MUSIC IS TO MAKE SO THAT YOUR FANS LISTENING TO IT FOR YEARS TO COME.I WAS NOT BORN WHEN BOB MARLEY DIED BUT I STILL LISTEN TO HIS MUSIC AND SONGS BECAUSE THAT WHAT ARTIST ARE SUPPOSED TO DO MAKE TIMELESS MUSIC.HOWEVER THOUGHT YOU TO LIKE A SONG FOR COUPLE OF MONTHS AND THEN MOVE ON IS S***.
OH AND SO I GUESS THE FOSSE(A BROADWAY DANCE), AFRICAN DANCES, OLD SCHOOL SCHOOL TRAIN DANCES AND BURLESQUE DOES NOT MEAN DANCING OH OK YOUR HATE CLOUDS YOUR F****** KNOWLEDGE AND THAT IS WAY I WILL NEVER TAKE ANYTHING YOU SAY SERIOUSLY BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO F****** CLUE ABOUT THE MUSIC INDUSTRY AT ALL.
Preach! You speak the absolute truth
Kate @meow middleton or wateva u call urself,
When r u gonna grow up and stop all this BS?
We know Rihanna is funding you guys to be blackmailing King B online.
So stop for Christs sake and just leave!!
U claim to hate Beyonce, so simply
DO US A FAVOR N GTFO!!
Ugly s***.
Uve got no life. All u can do is sit behind ur pc criticizing ppl. I bet u aint got any friends in ur real life. So u put all ur frustration on others.
Gtfo n go get a life INTERNET W****.
I’m not a fan of Beyonce but her voice was mediocre right here and she sounded tired during this performance as well, so yes her voice did progress as the years went by. She is way better then she has ever been !!! She doesn’t have the best voice in the game but surely not the worst voice neither.
Most definitely! She has really improved vocally. No, she’s not the best vocalist but she is an exceptional one. Entertainment in general has always been her strong suit though. She’s actually a really good live performer. I’ve seen her in concert… twice lol.
Beyonce is slaying your fave.lol
