Beyonce Amazes with Electrifying Comeback Performance at Atlantis The Royal Opening in Dubai

Published: Sunday 22nd Jan 2023 by Sam

After an almost five-year hiatus, Beyonce delivered her first full-length concert since 2018 at the extravagant opening of Atlantis The Royal in Dubai.

Taking center stage amidst a stunning backdrop, Queen Bey and her bevy of dancers showed up and showed out.

While the music royal held on to songs from her ‘Renaissance’ album (which reports suggest could be for an upcoming showing), she still wowed with a diverse setlist that included classics such as ‘Crazy In Love,’ Pop bops like ‘Beautiful Liar,’ and rare gems ala ‘Flaws & All.’

The superstar also seized the moment to shine a light on tracks from ‘The Lion King: The Gift’ – serving up the first live renditions of critically-acclaimed cuts such as  ‘Spirit,’ ‘Bigger,’ and the GRAMMY-winning ‘Brown Skin Girl’ which she performed with 11-year-old daughter Blue Ivy.

Check out more snaps from an unforgettable night after the jump…

    There she is, the „Gay“ icon referencing her Gay uncle as an inspiration for her new album, performing in a country, that punishes homosexuality…as if she needed the money

  2. Tiffany Smooth January 22, 2023

    A Gay Icon mainly appeals to the gay audience. Beyonce is a global phenomenon!!!!

    If u disagree with that country’s laws then get into politics and do something. You’ll probably be killed but so what….
    & Those Arab ppl not liking gay ppl ain’t got s*** to do with her, she’s a got damn singer
    &&& If blue ivy is bidding on bags that cost that much, Beyonce does need the money. They live an expensive lifestyle.

    • Dc January 22, 2023

      Funny how she didn’t perform those gay anthems from new album in Dubai they not here for that gay ish 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

      • Shayla Queen™ 👑 January 22, 2023

        Neither is H******** yet her biggest fans are screaming gays such as yourself 😂😂😂😂😂😂

  3. BEYNAISSANCE January 22, 2023

    Rumor has it she had foot surgery that’s why she’s been in hiding. She did appear to be limping during the drunk in love performance and she was wearing kitten heels. That’s why she can’t be f***** with. Greatest performer of our time. Other artists would have dropped out of performing for far less lmao

  4. Henry Gales January 22, 2023

    Beyonce is weird. Here’s a woman with 3 kids and married to a billionaire but sings about thot behavior. Poison to the culture.

    • yup! January 22, 2023

      100% agree! That should tell you what type of business arrangement I mean “marriage” she has going on.

      • Messy Bardi Gangsta January 22, 2023

        Married or not she still has to appeal to a demographic that does not include married women in their 40’s so stfu. And since when does being sëxy and or having sëx at all equal thot behavior? Stop being a loser, it’s not Beyoncé’s fault that no one wants to fück YOU other than your dad

    • DC3 FORVER January 22, 2023

      And still gave you empowering songs like BROWN SKIN GIRL, FREEDOM, BLACK PARADE, BIGGER, ALL NIGHT, BREAK MY SOUL, SPIRIT, BE ALIVE, OTHERSIDE and more and you focus on a song like DRUNK IN LOVE which talks about having DRUNK s** with her husband. Something you don’t have. YOURE APART OF THE PROBLEM

  5. yup! January 22, 2023

    She still dressing like an aging deity?? Take those head pieces off and just perform those dated songs they paid to see.

  6. A January 22, 2023

    Everything and everyone minus Blue Ivy looks Cheap.

  7. True Tea January 22, 2023

    She’s huge OMG!

    I guess weight loss wasn’t on her to-do list while she was MIA.

    • Shayla Queen™ 👑 January 22, 2023

      Lmaoooooooooooo! 😂

    • Taylor is swift January 22, 2023

      She’s almost bigger than diabetes verybothered😂

  8. Pat January 22, 2023

    Looks boring tbh. Beys biggest problem is no matter how good her vocals r she doesn’t have the catalog for a dance less set. Adding opera arias to trash songs isn’t memorable outside the hive

    • Diabetes UNBOTHERED January 22, 2023

      I AM YOURS 2009 was a UNPLUGGED showcase with more singing than dancing. Do you think it would make since for B to ever do a danceless set?

  9. Proud Gay Furry UwU January 22, 2023

    And she got 24 mil for performing for js an hour! Meanwhile, Diabetes unbothered makes 1.37$ an hour by trolling on tgj 🤣🤣🤣

    • Diabetes UNBOTHERED January 22, 2023

      BÈitch DON’T!

  10. Taylor is swift January 22, 2023

    Beyonces catalogue is mid until she steps on stage and brings the songs to life. Other than that blah. Her wig looks cheap and synthetic. Performance looks boring for her standards. Vocals were great.

    • Diabetes UNBOTHERED January 22, 2023

      ^^Taylor Swift stan…

      ENOUGH SAID. 😆

      • Taylor is swift January 22, 2023

        Outselling and outcharting your devil worshipping fave

        ENOUGH SAID .🥱

    • Diabetes UNBOTHERED January 22, 2023

      The NERVE of you calling ANYTHING Boring or Mid while staning for e pot a me of BASIC 😆 BASIC BORING SWIFT. *YAWNS* 🥱

      • Shayla Queen™ 👑 January 22, 2023

        When has Beyoncé ever moved 1.2m in PURE SALES first week? Especially in a climate where records are NOT SELLING and streaming is the new norm. Beyoncé was from the PEAK of record sales and STILL couldn’t match Taylor’s sales. If Beyoncé is Queen, Taylor is Goddess. Stay VERY “unbothered.”

      • Taylor is swift January 22, 2023

        Basic and boring doesn’t sell or remain consistently successful as she does for the past 18 years…. Now check that fat ass Lizzo🤪

  11. Shayla Queen™ 👑 January 22, 2023

    If Beyoncé doesn’t switch things up by the time she drops her next album in around 5 years time, it will NOT be a success. “Singing” (rapping) about “dropping it like a thottie” at 47 will NOT work. As we’ve seen evidenced by Madonna countless times.

    • Diabetes UNBOTHERED January 22, 2023

      Yur dissecting a few songs and making it out to be her entire catalog when its only 10%.

      Taylor is WHITE. If Beyonce was WHITE Taylor would literally be selling pickles off the back of a trailer park truck. 🥒

      #MAYONNAISE SWIFT.

      #OVERRATED

      • Shayla Queen™ 👑 January 22, 2023

        I said what I said and it still stands. Are you able to stand?

    • BRITTANY KNOWLES January 22, 2023

      BEYONCE BEEN SUCCESSFUL SINCE 1998. AS A SOLO ARTIST SINCE 2003. 5 YEARS WITH DC, 21 YEARS SOLO!!!! SHE’S IN HER 40’S STILL TOPPING THE CHARTS AND AS RELEVANT AS SHE EVER BEEN!!!! I DON’T EXPECT HER TO BE SELLING BIG AT 47 YEARS OLD BUT SHE’S BEYONCE SO SHE PROBABLY WILL!!!! SHE’S A CELEBRITIES CELEBRITY AND HER TALENT IS WHAT GOT HER HERE. EXPECT HER RENAISSANCE TOUR TO BE ANOTHER RECORD BREAKER!!!!!! I DUNNO WHY SHE KEEPS YOU SO HOT.

      • Shayla Queen™ 👑 January 22, 2023

        She was never selling as big as Taylor, even when she dropped DIL at 21 💀 She is smoke and mirrors.

  12. Diabetes UNBOTHERED January 22, 2023

    @Shayla Q****…

    Taylor is WHITE. If Beyonce was WHITE Taylor would literally be selling pickles off the back of a trailer park truck. 🥒

    #MAYONNAISE SWIFT.

    • Shayla Queen™ 👑 January 22, 2023

      Your race card is invalid, overdrawn and DECLINED 💳

      Taylor is loved by ALL races from ALL cultures and countries WORLDWIDE 🌎

      Now, “drop it like a thottie” if you’ll able to get back up off the floor.

      • Diabetes UNBOTHERED January 22, 2023

        Name ONE Taylor Swift Song that’s BETTER than BE ALIVE (2022 Oscars).

      • Shayla Queen™ 👑 January 22, 2023

        EVERY Taylor Swift song.

        And unlike Beyoncé, she actually writes and doesn’t steal her ish *bomb drop* 💣💥

    • Taylor is swift January 22, 2023

      Beyonce been cosplaying as a white and Latina woman since the beginning of time🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 She even publicly stated that she wished she was born a Latina. She’s the product of a colorist father and Creole legacy who were notorious colorists. 🤪

      • Diabetes UNBOTHERED January 22, 2023

        Name ONE Taylor Swift Song that’s BETTER than beys best SOUNDTRACK Songs BE ALIVE (2022 Oscars) & BIGGER(Lion King2019).

      • yup! January 22, 2023

        I can’t name 5 mayo swift songs in general. But Be Alive is not the song I would use for battle lol. That song is as trash as everything I have heard from no soul swift.

  13. Diabetes UNBOTHERED January 22, 2023

    Name ONE Taylor Swift Song that’s better than Beys all time best SOUNDTRACK song OTHERSIDE. *I’ll wait*

  14. Diabetes UNBOTHERED January 22, 2023

    Beyonce OTHERSIDE >>> TAYLOR MAYONNAISE SWIFTS ENTIRE DISCOGRAPHY. 🎶

  15. Diabetes UNBOTHERED January 22, 2023

    Beyonce- Be alive >>> TAYLOR MAYONNAISE SWIFTS ENTIRE DISCOGRAPHY. 🎶

    • Shayla Queen™ 👑 January 22, 2023

      Keep saying it. Keep saying it until you actually believe it.

      • Diabetes UNBOTHERED January 22, 2023

        Shayla Q****…

        DIL, I Am… Sasha Fierce has sold 10 million copies worldwide, Survivor, and The Wrighting on the Wall…

        All 4 of these albums sold over 10 Million Units Worldwide. Beyonce sold more Albums than Taylor and has more Grammys and bigger Tours.

        Noone calls Taylor Queen but they do call a certain Entertainer QUEEN 🐝 👑

      • Diabetes UNBOTHERED January 22, 2023

        Taylor Swift has no DIAMOND PLAQS but I Am… Sasha FIERCE IS DIAMOND IN BRAZIL. 2X DIAMOND to be exact.

      • Shayla Queen™ 👑 January 22, 2023

        1989 sold 14 million copies worldwide and she is just above Beyoncé’s total worldwide album sales of 200m at 200m+ after being around a significantly less amount of time…

        Taylor’s latest tour also just broke all records previously held by Beyoncé.

        Try again.

        Still can’t get back up off that floor, can you?

      • Shayla Queen™ 👑 January 22, 2023

        Sasha Fierce Diamond in Brazil? lmaoooooooooooo! 🤣

        Fearless is Diamond in the US!

        Taylor wins again! 🛎️ *ding ding ding!*

      • Shayla Queen™ 👑 January 22, 2023

        1989 is also eligible for Diamond certification in the US.

        She also had two Diamond certified singles – Shake It Off and Blank Space, in the US.

        Remind me again of these US DIAMOND PLAQUES of Beyoncé’s? Oh, you can’t because she has none.

      • Dc January 22, 2023

        Taylor is nothing

      • Shayla Queen™ 👑 January 22, 2023

        H******** is a diseased flop

      • Shayla Queen™ 👑 January 22, 2023

        You f****** STAN Taylor when you’re pitting her against artists like SZA. Hypocrite tramp.

        Where’s H********’s second album? It’s been 5 years. Where’s her DIAMOND ALBUM? 😂

  16. Unholy January 22, 2023

    If you can’t see yet how this vessel to the industry corruption is being portrayed as a holy being I don’t know what to tell you. She’s officially lost it. She literally thinks she’s a god. Y’all need help if you can’t see the truth. It’s right in front of you. Beyonce has been gone since I Am Sasha. This isn’t the same woman.

  17. Diabetes UNBOTHERED January 22, 2023

    Shyla Q**** SINGLE LADIES AND HALO are both 9x Plat in the US and soon will be DIAMOND. Also beyonce is a BILLIONAIRE unlike Taylor.

    & Taylor will NEVER have 30 Grammys like Bey does.

    • Taylor is swift January 22, 2023

      I love how a post about Beyonces performance has turned into a Taylor tribute. TAYLORS POWER 🥰

    • Shayla Queen™ 👑 January 22, 2023

      Taylor has 3 Diamond plaques, Beyoncé has NO Diamond plaques. Except the one in Brazil 🤣

      With sales from Taylor’s new tour, Taylor is now almost a SELF-MADE billionaire. Beyoncé is only a billionaire thanks to marrying Jay Z.

      Another round to Taylor! *ding ding ding!* 🥊🛎️

    • Shayla Queen™ 👑 January 22, 2023

      And those Grammys you speak of were mostly paid for by Beyoncé herself 👀 ie STOLEN. Like the songs, albums, ideas, concepts and video treatments they were nominated for.

      BOOM! 💣💥

      • Taylor is swift January 22, 2023

        Where’s Beyonces AOTY, SOTY or ROTY? I can tell you where Taylor’s are! And don’t say Beyonce doesn’t care because she does! She sat front row in tears when Adele beat Lemonade for AOTY.

  18. 1999 January 22, 2023

    The fleahive should sit down and stfu when it concerns Taylor. Their focus should be on weight loss plans for her. Those arms are flabbier than a rotund black woman cooking in a church kitchen. Ewww

    • Taylor theee flat back honky January 22, 2023

      Coming from someone who stans for a b**** shaped like a praying mantis. Gtfoh racist f***. Beyonce is a real woman with a real body, potentially injured and still killed the stage as only she does. Taylor can have all the sales in the world but she will never have the RESPECT that Beyonce does and that’s on period!!!

      • Shayla Queen™ 👑 January 22, 2023

        She has MORE respect. She CHANGED the industry. Bow down.

        As for the body, Beyoncé’s is mostly plastic and has been nipped and tucked. Taylor on the other hand isn’t insecure and SUPERFICIAL enough to need to alter her body in any way and is happy with who she is and doesn’t need the ass of a gorilla to twerk with like an animal from the zoo to sell records…

      • Taylor is swift January 22, 2023

        The Hive fights “racism” with more racism. More of the same from their delusional standom. Btw 1999 didn’t even say anything racist. Typical stupid Hive. Making things more complicated than it should be. Taylor has more respect and more self respect than the devil worshipper wannabe God. 🤣

      • Shayla Queen™ 👑 January 22, 2023

        Renaissance has only just barely scanned Platinum after six whole months…

        Midnights scanned Platinum FIRST WEEK with 1.2 million of those sales being PURE SALES.

  19. CBreezy January 22, 2023

    She looks dead in the eyes , sorry not sorry.

  20. H** on the Rag 🩸 January 22, 2023

    This will totally take Beyoncé’s career out of the dumpster!

    [UPDATE: No, it won’t]

    • Danny Bey January 23, 2023

      41 yo, 20+ years into your career and Getting paid $24 million to perform is a dumpster? Shut yo hamburger flippin a** up 💀💀💀💀💀

  21. Jucjuc January 23, 2023

    She did more than just sing fir that 24 million
