Movie Reviews of The Beyoncé Experience - Live!
Movie Review: Ladies & Gentlemen: Get Ready To Be Entertained!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this tour. I wanted to see it when she came to Chicago, but the ticket price was outrageous! Beyonce entertained her fans through her songs, energy, dancers, and her all female band! Here is the setlist:
1. Intro Fanfare - The band plays a sample of Strawberry Letter 23 as B makes her way to the stage.
2. Crazy In Love/Crazy - she performs her first single as a solo artist and mixes it with Gnarls Barkley's version of Crazy which was pretty cool. I also like how she rips the long skirt from her costume, making it a short skirt :)
3. Freakum Dress - very sexy performance. This version is more like a rocked-out version. Loved it!!!
4. Green Light/Band Jam - I liked it. One of my favorites from the B'Day album.
5. Baby Boy/Murder He Wrote - Awesome, but this performance is more for the ladies than the men.
6. Beautiful Liar - good, but it needed Shakira.
7. Naughty Girl - sexy performance. Love the soul clapping.
8. Me, Myself, And I - liked it, but I like the Wembley Arena DVD performance better.
9. Piano Break/Dangerously In Love/He Loves Me - one of my favorite peformances from the DVD. It's very elegant and I love how she mixes Jill Scott's He Loves Me in the song.
10. Flaws and All - pretty good. Towards the end, B sheds some tears while embracing an angel.
11. Cops & Robbers Intro/Destiny's Child Medley (Independent Women Pt 1, Bootylicious, No No No Pt 2, Bug A Boo [Screwed & Chopped Mix], Bills Bills Bills, Cater 2 U, Say My Name, Jumpin Jumpin, Soldier [Soulja Boy Crank Mix], Survivor w. Kelly and Michelle) - loved it. My favorites were Bills Bills Bills and Say My Name. I like how she did the Souja Boy Dance with her dancers.
12. Speechless - I think she could've left this number out.
13. Jailhouse Confessions/Ring The Alarm - HOT! The intro is HOT!!! This is the song where she fell on the flight of stairs at the Orlando show. She didn't fall off of this performance which was good.
14. Suga Mama - pretty hot! I've learned to like this song and I love the performance
15. Upgrade U (feat Jay-Z) - not my favorite song by her, but Jay-Z made a special performance with B.
16. 03 Bonnie & Clyde/Prince Mix - okay, not my favorite.
17. Check On It (Special Tour Version) - LOVED IT!! It cracked me up and it was sexy at the same time.
18. Deja Vu - that's my song and Beyonce's! Wished she sang the second verse, but the performance was great!
19. Bass Jam/Bee Intro/Get Me Bodied (Extended Mix) - She bought it home!! My favorite song and performance from B!
20. Welcome To Hollywood - it's just the song and never before seen footage of Beyonce. Pretty good to watch as B makes her costume change.
21. Dreamgirls - Very interesting! I wish she would've performed the whole song.
22. Listen - Awesome!!
23. Irreplaceable/B'Day Surprise - To the left! To the left! Great song to close the show as well as B's birthday surprise.
Overall, it was a great show. I could watch it a million times and still love it
Summary of The Beyoncé Experience - Live!
Studio: Sony Music Release Date: 11/20/2007Though Beyonce Knowles has earned fame as an actress and a spokesmodel, she is first and foremost a singer, as she showcases in the entertaining concert film The Beyonce Experience Live. Polished, effortlessly glamorous, and a strong showman, Knowles is the Diana Ross of the 21st century. The singer-songwriter is equally comfortable belting out a rocking dancing number or crooning a heart-wrenching ballad. Though she shares the stage at times with her boyfriend Jay-Z and her bandmates in Destiny's Child, The Beyonce Experience Live makes it clear that she really is a one-woman act. The packaging on the DVD asks, "Are you ready to be entertained?" The answer better be yes, because Knowles gives it her all. Singing, dancing, joking around, costume changes--it's all there. And Knowles is the type of likable performer who makes viewers feel that even though she may be more talented (and prettier) than the rest of us, she's really just one of the girls. Then, too, you've got to love a gal who celebrates a woman's right to gain a few pounds (aka "jelly") in the infectiously catchy hit "Bootylicious." The film does a good job of including various phases of her musical career, from a defiant rendition (with Destiny's Child) of "Survivor," to a funky duet with Jay-Z on "Upgrade U," to a tongue-in-cheek rendition of "Check on It" (from the soundtrack of Pink Panther). While Jennifer Hudson completely overpowered her in the film adaptation of Dreamgirls, Knowles has a pleasant voice well suited for R&B-tinged pop. She paces her set well and doesn't overextend herself to the point where she has to rely on audio tracks to supplement her vocals. Many tour films fail in capturing the excitement of a live concert experience. The Beyonce Experience Live is about as good as you can get to seeing Knowles live, but without having to buy a ticket. --Jae-Ha Kim
