Not that this is bad. I just couldn’t ever see Beyonce doing an H.I.V. walk. This wouldn’t fit with her image. Kelly will do it though. I’m sure they’ll ask Kelly at the finish line if she called Beyonce to see if this would be okay for her to do, and by the way, when is Beyonce’s next album coming out.
