Beyonce‘s ability to “beast” on the mic is so pronounced that it’s oft easy to forget her ability to “beast” without one.

Case, point her titillating showing at Usher‘s ‘Live From Puerto Rico’ concert special in 2005.

Both at the top of their game (a place they each remain today), the pair had spent the years preceding appearing on each others’ songs and videos. And yet, prior to this show-stopping performance, they had not taken to the stage together.

Yet, as the age old adage goes: good things come to those who wait.

The duo all sorts of smashed their showing of ‘Bad Girl’, a cut lifted from Usher’s diamond-selling ‘Confessions’ LP. Indeed, watching this back serves as ample evidence if ever needed as to why both acts are two of the industry’s biggest.

And with both Bey and Ush prepping new projects, this has us hoping they pair up once again!
