Beyoncé - The Beautiful Ones (Glastonbury 2011) 

almost forgot to watch this today

Whenever people say that she’s overrated I always think about this performance. She’s just excellent. She can do things with her voice that not a lot of people can do. Wow.

Prince was a fan of her. That's the highest complement.

Nine years later, i still watch this at least once a month,. Beyoncé is, without a doubt THE best performer/vocalist of my generation. Shit, I’m crying again

One of the best Prince covers ever, she’s something else

It’s like once you watch one live Beyoncé performance you just keep watching more and more and get hooked😭

She had morning sickness before the performance and was throwing up AND was pregnant....!?!?!?!? And she had this much energy for the wHOLE 90 MINUTE SET. HOW

How dare someone say that this woman does not sing?

She was pregnant and she did that 🤯

It’s really sickening how people try to bring down this black woman for her success! SHE LITERALLY EARNED EVERY DIME! This is crazy! SHE IS the greatest entertainer ALIVE! Michael and Prince most definitely passed down the torch . Period

This and the Stevie Wonder tribute are the two performances I will never ever ever get tired of.

Whatever she does, she made it to another level. No doubt she is the greatest entertainer of our generation! Love her so much!

This should be in a museum lol

2.19 "I'm begging down on my knees" this part is so intense and beautiful. I just adore her!!!! Imagine this Queen having to beg.....

2023 after seeing her in concert, she still has that same energy!!

Taylor swift could never

Honestly no one can tell me anything when it comes to Beyoncé. The TALENT the WORK ETHIC the TOP QUALITY of everything she does is undeniable.

You can literally feel her voice. What an artist 🤯

One of her best performances... The energy is jumping off the screen

one of the most iconic voices of our time, along with freddie mercury, tina turner, prince, celine dion, mj, whitney, patti labele, mariah carey, janis joplin, amy winehouse and elvis presley. imo.

The level of professionalism this woman has. She poured out her soul on beautiful ones and realizing she can’t remember the first line of the next song, she did what? Asked some drums and started singing impromptu until she reached the part of the stage where she can read the first few words. You can tell by her bands’ reaction at the back. Amazing!

This is my therapy

What makes Beyoncé great aside from her immense talent, beauty, and work ethic? She gives everything in ever single performance. She doesn't coast! It's always 1000%, EVERY TIME!

BBC, you should change to "Beyoncé - The Beautiful Ones / Sex On Fire (Glastonbury 2011)" You are welcome.

3:01 - 4:10 the way she did the transition from beautiful ones to sexes on fire is AMAZING. Beyoncé is the definition of real talent. We are definitely in the BEYONCÉ ERA!!!

A proper tribute to a generational legend by a generational legend.

Beyonce is one of the greatest performers of all time.

She's truly the best vocalist AND performer this generation has witnessed. No one comes close. I don't understand why people discredit her. Is it because of envy? Is it because she's TOO DAMN GOOD? Most artists nowadays don't reach 1% of this woman's greatness

Honestly I’ve watched her Glastonbury performance so many times.

A ten year old performance has become my daily obsession, amazing

She forgot the lyrics of Sex on Fire at 3:40 that's why she instructed the band to continue as she walk to the lyrics, you can even see her reading it at 4:00 but it's still seamless. She's amazing and her stage presence is out of this world.

There is nothing I want more in life than to have a full audio version of that song by her. I absolutely need it!

best performer of all time argue you with your cats

For many people her best vocal performance was Listen at Oprahs show, but for me this is raw pure and uninhibited talent... She gave everything here, no fears, all the power of her voice.

My sister ate this up and left no crumbs. Exactly Bey!

People that say Beyoncé is over hyped are delusional, delirious. This is pure TALENT ARTISTRY SKILL CRAFT!!! Maaaaaaaaaan!

12 years later, still an ICONIC PERFORMANCE! Queen Bey👑

you know when B gets on her knees, the vocals are coming

I freaking love the lead singer from Kings of Leon was like “she made my song better”. I love that song and she def added her own to it! She needs to do a rock album I’m telling you. Don’t Hurt Yourself…I need more like that.

She is a STAR rated vocalist.

She sang each syllable like every cell in her being meant it and beyond. She was born for the stage but it is her drive and dedication to her craft that sets her apart.

People will literally hear Beyonce talking and singing in her mike and still claim it's prerecorded.... people are unbelievable.

She simply is the standard. Pregnant, this queen still had to rehearse and deliver. The vocals and delivery for this whole concert are simply unmatched!

Beyoncé energy is something else

This performance never fails to blow me away. Otherworldly.

The fact that when she was holding that note and not even put that much effort into it ☠

This is one of the greatest live performances of all time. Absolutely phenomenal.

There are levels to what this woman can do ... many performers could only dream of exuding that much sexual energy and magnetism through performance not to mention raw talent and technical skill. Absolute beast.

WHEW the rent was due!!! Til this day this is my favorite live performance from her. There are no theatrics here. Just pure flawless vocals. She ate this up and spit it out. Changed my favorite Prince song and moved this KOL song into my top 10 greatest. This was a once in a lifetime performance all in one night.

Damn Beyonce, she sang that song so good i thought she wanted me for a second there LMAO good god

Oh my fucking god this has to be one of the best vocal performances of all time

I got chills watching this. She is so immensely talented. That note at 1.48 is just out of this world

And delusionals will still say she can't sing. Y'all really forgot she's a vocalist before she became a performer.

This performance and her Stevie Wonder Tribute are my absolute fav performances by Beyonce.

She. Did. This. Song. Justice. Oh my God.

This is what made me love her completely more than before

I always go back to this performance! I’ve been a fan since Destiny’s child and this always BLOWS ME AWAY! Specially from 1:48 minute to 2:55 ! She is WITH NO DOUBT the greatest performer alive! Coachella just proved it one more time! And she doesn’t have to prove NO MORE! Forever beyhive ❤️🐝

This is just surreal. That's a gift from a true artist. What a moment.

The transition from The Beautiful Ones to Sex on Fire is crazy!! Her mind is really something else. 11 years later and it still gives me chills.

i watch this and the stevie wonder tribute regularly just to marvel and re-establish awe in my life. the growl is such a perfected and powerful vocal technique of hers. i LOVE its display here. it needs more discussion! blue blue really brought us an ERA of performances. bless her.

There are times that I just sit on a bus and wanna go: "And that's to please you, baby. Please you, baby! Please you AAAAAIGRHJJJHHHHHHH"

One of the most powerful moments in her career. Jay was watching and that is 100% support right there.

Can’t believe it’s been 9 years since this performance. No one can do it like Bey, the moment I had to Stan

Her voice is just incredible. Her resonance, her control, the way she conveys emotion, everything. I would die to hear her perform this live. and somehow her voice has gotten BETTER with age like how 😭 she will forever be the GOAT

The baby was flying around in her stomach haha!

11 years later and I still get chills all over y body watching this performance

MESMERIZING. CAPTIVATING. THIS WOMAN IS UNMATCHED. THE QUEEN.

i lose my mind every time i watch this

the mic was onnnnn

Holy smokes this is amazing AMAZING!! She did Prince proud, her voice is so perfect!! 🔥

This is one of Beyoncé's BEST performances. They way she ever so soothingly, sung through the beginning of Beautiful Ones, and then charged so much power and emotion at the end was so entertaining. Also paying homage to Prince with a signature growl, which took this performance to another level. Then she slid into Sex On Fire with THE BEST TRANSITION IN HISTORY, not only to bring that raw emotion element, but to also bring so much sexiness and softness to her voice. Not to mention she forgot the lyrics and had to look at them on the floor. BUT!!! you never would have guessed that that's what she was doing, right? An absolute PRO!!!!! Beyonce is a legend and no one does what she does. She's Simply One Of The Best.

Years later and nobody can still do this!!! Beyoncé THE BOSS YOU ARE!

Twelve years later, I still watch this at least once a month. Beyoncé is without a doubt THE best performer/vocalist of my generation. Shit, I’m crying again

Seeing her at 2:18 and seeing the anguish and passion in her eyes literally makes me wanna cry. Especially when you think about all she’s been through in her personal life. Prince would be so proud of this performance. I’ve seen both and this is my fav. Literally no one like ever. One of a kind. We love you Bey. ♥️🫶🏽

Can't stop watching this. She's out of this world!

She owned this

the greatest performance of all times,one for the books and ofc performed by none other than Beyonce. Truly the most important icon of our generation

Simply one of the best hair raising performances of all time.

There's no way not to get excited about her vocals!

Beyonce perfects her craft, and she always pushes herself to be the best. She is so talented, and no one can ever just say she is just a pretty face. This woman is oozing up Talent

I never get tired of it. I can feel the energy beyoncé transmits through her art

This is still my favorite performance of all time

As a big fan of the original gem by mega-talented Prince, I do have to admit that Beyoncé did it justice. Very, very nice!

I can only imagine the number of people in the audience who got to experience this that don't even know that the first part was a Prince song and don't even know anything about him. I'd give everything to see Beyoncè cover Prince.

Love the fact that she walks towards the lyrics of Sex on Fire on the floor 4:00. Just to remind us all she's human!

gold looks beautiful on her I always considered it the color to make beyonce's skin glow.

bey is just the best that drive and power she’s the goat

I always come back to this performance. One of my all time faves.

One of the greatest singers to have ever lived. It's an honor to be living in the same day n age as this legend. Can't wait to see her show in August.

They were on one this night jeeze. Whoever is licking the E guitar is fucking slaughtering during the bridge of beautiful ones

Mama just givin out vocal lessons FOR FREE! 😭😭😭

The fact that there are people that appreciate this moment and cherish it as I do makes me feel so warm... we are one of a kind

2:15 I literally can feel the emotion through my screen 😩💥

Best cover of The Beautiful Ones I've seen. Prince gave her a bit of his fairy dust! 💚🦄

One of the best performances I’ve ever seen. Chills.

hey people, Beyoncé sang this song several times (before and after he died), in different versions, because it is her favorite Prince song, it is not a fake singing Purple rain, and acting that are fans.

Somebody talk about how good the drums is !!!!!!!!

Why am I just now discovering this?! Omg what a performance!!!!

THIS IS NOT FOR WATCHING, IT IS FOR LISTENING. Beautiful ones.

How can someone sing this way and be so humble
