The Most Orgasmic 30 Seconds of Beyonce’s Roseland Ballroom Concert
Posted by Miss Info under about miss info , concerts , exclusives , for fashion-hounds and obsessive consumers , good for humanity , headcrack , life beyond rap , videos[44] Comments
Beyonce Knowles turned out New York’s Roseland Ballroom for the first of her four-night residency. She murdered it. Singing, dancing, emoting, thanking, lifecoaching, storytelling, juking, jazz-handing, orbit gum smiling, and of course, lots of feminine wiling and hip-notizing.
But the best example of Beyonce’s venus voodoo power came during her performance of “1+1.” Kneeling on the hood of a white piano, sweat glistening, in her gold-sequined teddy and shiny Ice Capades pantyhose….King Bey belted out the ballad while quad-pumping to the beat.
Watch the video above…but skip to the 3:30 mark!!
Holy When-Harry-Met-Sally Rapture.
I mean really….the venue was majority sistren and stylish gay men but maybe even some of them had involuntarily emissions after that final back arch.
More on Beyonce’s Roseland Ballroom opener, and a photo of Angie Martinez, Kay Foxx, and me at the show…
After the jump…
Besides the tent-pole “1+1″ performance, Beyonce most impressed me with her sheer triathlon stage endurance. Every song was a combination of perfect vocal runs and fancy footwork. And she made it looks so effortless, even her facial expressions were doing their own sideshow.

It was lots of fun going to the show with Angie, Kay Foxx (from Hot97’s Ciph and Rosenberg Morning Show), and our boss. Kay would sub in as a Beyonce back-up dancer at the drop of a dime, btw ; ) Don’t think we didn’t notice that during her speeches, Beyonce dropped a few little sublims about dad, Matthew Knowles. At one point, she gave mentioned him being right “for once” when he submitted “Independent Woman” for a Charlies Angels soundtrack without permission. At other points, she alludes to being in charge, and self-managed.
Overall, I’m glad that my first Bey concert was in a smaller setting like this, as opposed to the Vegas-sized extravaganzas that I see on TV during Thanksgiving dinner.
Beyonce performs “Countdown” to a crowd that already knows every word. Columbia’s Mike Navarra tweeted that some fans had started lining up the night before, and stood outside through all of Saturday night and Sunday’s torrential rain to get prime spots at the front.

Yo Info why do you allow comments from people who are clearly ignorant / retarded?
Banko Reply:

You cant put “Orgasmic” in a post and expect people not to twist it in a joking way. Its unrealistic to expect no one to say what I said.
And I dont think anyone here including myself has ever been “disrecpectful” to you but if you’d like people to treat you like you’re fucking 72yrs old when I think we are all over 30 then thats cool.. Granny Info has a good ring to it..
Much Respect…1

dude…..I get it. I used the word orgasmic. I don’t mind talking about sex. And offline, I curse like a sailor at times, and I laugh my ass off at funny twisted sexual innuendo. That doesn’t mean I have to be cool with you asking if I “c-m” on myself during the clip or whatever the hell you said. We can friggin argue about it all day. But we’re never gonna agree. Call it whatever you want.

Banko is the comment you just edit out sub-consciously; He leaves comments for reactions. Banko always adds his two cents (no pun intended). I dont do back n forth with him anymore. Anyway, Beyonce longevity is more impressive than anything; I’m still amazed her performance is still entertaining and she still looks amazing. I can see how she gets the modern day tina turner comparisons

Venue wise…definitely overcrowded, not too much of a great view from anywhere unless you were in the balcony area or front rows (it was an all standing room) as a large amount of the crowd were men towering over Beyonce’s 5′5 female followers, frantically waving and dancing to her every word.
As for beyonce..she’s still an amazing woman, its always humorous to see someone make negative remarks on someone they have no chance of even standing in the same room with aside from a show. Even more so act like her being “lighter” makes her less of a respectable black woman…

I can see how the venue must have been really hard to take for anyone short. The floor is too flat, there’s no steps for short people to stand on. Sorry if you were just stuck looking at peoples shoulders : (

I was cool myself, my lady on the other hand had a little issue at times :/. The bar in the back had a decent view though. Plus some good jokes / drinks from the bartenders made it a decent night.

yeah one of my girls stood at the bar and said she could see the whole show that way. In general….stadium seating rules, lol.
August 15th, 2011 at 4:40 pm
Now I’m actually interested to see what Banko said. Lol. But Bey did her thing as usual. I didn’t get anything “orgasmic ” from the performance though.
BTW, I didn’t know people were getting censored up here now. I’ve seen folks say some wild shit and get away with it.

if I see wildly homophobic, racist or even sometimes sexist stuff I try to edit out just the offensive words, but not the overall message. obviously I don’t see everything. I also edit out sex references that put me in the action. It may be prude but I’d like to avoid too much of that. However, even in this case, the overall point that the person was trying to make is still loud and clear. He didn’t find the clip at all erotic, he found it boring.

I didnt mean any harm by what I said really… Its all good man… I wasnt going at info I enjoy what she tries to do too much to take shots at her..
What I said was “Dont let me find out Beyonce dancing ontop of that piano made you BLAH BLAH….. A simple “You’ll Never Know Buddy” or something like that would have done the trick…
It wasnt suppose to be a big deal and I dont even think it was said in a nasty totally out of bounds way but thats how it was taken and I cant change that but no harm no foul..

Wow that’s it. That’s a bit tamer than what I expected. I can’t speak on how Info should feel on something directed at her, but that didn’t seem like it was a big deal.

Do I get edited if I say your hands down the best looking woman in that picture of three good looking women.

I second that Bhendu. I didn’t find that all that orgasmic, I liked that video she had better.
Info when do we find out who wins those concert tickets to Watch The Throne? Any Idea?

I’m sorry for the wait on the WTT tickets. We did submit our random winner to the company, and just waiting for the confirmation bc of the various locations of the venues and applicants. There’s still a chance if we need to re-submit, but it’s probably slim.
August 15th, 2011 at 6:29 pm
Like I said in other Beyonce/Lady gaga post its really really sad that these 2 are even in the same star level as lip syncing B Spears. I have never been moved by a B.Spears performance at all, like I have been for Beyonce or Lady gaga(not soooo much lady gaga but she has her moments)

Couldnt Agree More!!
They throw a few new girls in the mix every few years or so and Beyonce out performs and out last them all the time..RiRi is an amazing artist but Beyonce keep dropping BOMBS BUT IS SHE WASNT AROUND RiRi would be the most dynamic and talented creator in the game.. Gaga has a good voice but shes basically a Madonna/Cher drag queen lounge singer, there is nothing original about her contribution but some of the sounds are catchy and major hits..
I suppose she isnt ready to be somewhat replaced yet or maybe she doesnt feel like she has reached the best every conversation which might allow her to fall back without losing her spot…. One things for sure its not many that can keep up with that childs drive, its amazing…
And she is clearly an ATG!

That it was around 7pm, I was listening to HOT97…travelling eastbound on the L.I.E., when your beautiful voice came on the radio and revealed that you had posted a lil’ gem of Beyonce film.
I watched that clip a couple times on the way home and you definitely helped expedite my commute. Thanks.
Any chance you have any more Beyonce footage from the other night?

i’ll add tina turner and patti labelle, albeit for very different reasons. Tina is a f’in rock star. Patti will literally sing you into a coma.

I can see Patti Labelle being very impressive. Shirley Brown did that women to women song and the only person that I can think of that did a duet with Teddy is Whitney Houston. Funny enough, I love country music and Bonnie Raitt will knock your socks off…LOL
I have never been impressed with Jennifer Hudson, but those weight Watchers commercials with that sun in the sky song gives me goose bumps.

it was kind of like watching a tv special with no commercials talking and showing pictures at the same time for her fans she could done better every body just look look she wasnt performing enough to make the crowd go wild and listen to her sing her props is her pictures on the sceeen and telling you how she started which is cool but she leaves out other inspirations like janet jackson which she copied janet swag and the others female artist aliyah shakira she cant sing better than whitney mariah shes a etta should have song that song at the white house she sound better shes no janet jackson click and if you take all 4 nights and get a bigger place like janet did live in hawaii she would have been able to have did it in 1 night janet props is not talking about how she got ther shes been on tv since 5 click janet jackson on carol burnett and look what type of props janet use later in her show janet jackson live in hawaii latest concert janett live in 2011 and look at her in her 40s watch all her videos click beyonce biggest copycat 1.2.3 beyonce steals music beyonce wears booty pad not bootylicious
