With tonight bringing with it the 2020 MTV Europe Music Awards, what time is better than the present to revisit one of the most iconic moments in the show’s history?

This week’s pick is Beyonce‘s fire-fuelled performance of ‘Baby Boy’ at the 2003 ceremony in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Armed with the momentum of global breakout smash ‘Crazy In Love,’ Bey opted not to rest on the laurels of her preceding success. Instead, she mounted a huge international push for its Sean Paul assisted follow-up, ‘Boy.’

Performed on many a stage, no rendition was grander in scale than the spectacle she unleashed at the EMAs.

A fusion of old school Hollywood and street-flavored flair, the performance fittingly finished with flames!

[Fun Fact: the version of the performance most know (above) was actually the second to be broadcast. Indeed, when a technical glitch at the most pivotal part marred the first, a do-over was actioned. A wise call, as that’s what most international markets saw and is what aired with every subsequent replay]

The showing is also notable for being the only televised performance Beyonce and Sean Paul gave together. And what a moment it was!

Joe Biden made history today when he was officially named the 46th President elect of the United States after a hard fought battle with Donald Trump.

His election brought with it confirmation that Kamala Harris has become the first ever female Vice President – and the first person of color to serve in said position too.

With the world waiting with bated breath to hear from the President-elect and VP-elect, the potent pair obliged with spirited speeches.

During her address, Harris – who is of Black and Asian decent – spoke about her late mother, Shyamala Gopalan Harris:

“When she came here from India, at the age of 19, she maybe didn’t quite imagine this moment. But she believed so deeply in an America where a moment like this is possible.”

Echoing her message of hope, Biden specifically thanked to the Black community for their support and promised to be a President for all.
