At Revel Resort and Casino’s Ovation Hall, the first lady wasn't Beyonce but the actual First Lady, Michelle Obama… now, that's the star power of La Knowles.
Beyonce performed a 27 song set, though it didn't seem quite as good as the one I saw at Roseland last year, maybe because at Roseland Beyonce performed her masterpiece 4, from one end to the other.
USA Weekly called it highly professional, but more or less, the warmth was a professional veneer. Perhaps, but I didn't feel that at Roseland and while the AC gig was a lot bigger, Roseland had its own fair share of dancers and big booms.
I can't wait to catch her in an Arena. I wonder if this is the first shot across the brow before a full scale tour? And I wonder what she will do with the kid? Now Jigga has retired maybe he will househusband… awww, who is kidding who?
Oh, and I got this from the wonderfully named website Stargasm!
