Beyoncé has taken over Revel Resorts in Atlantic City this Memorial Day weekend. She kicked off the first show tonight, and Miss Jia (of MissJia.com) was in attendance to provide photos and footage covering the spectacle.
In the set list, the “If I Was A Boy” singer covered Lauryn Hill’s “Ex-Factor.” Though her vocals are solid, as ever, she stripped the song of its simplicity (and message) by adding excessive grunts, growls and runs. Less is more… most of the time.
Bey has released two behind-the-scenes videos exposing the preparation that goes into the “Beyoncé experience.” It showed how meticulous she was about the placement of lights and such, but it didn’t show the song selection process. She briefly covered Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You,” before segueing to “Halo.” It was an amazing execution.
Following the show, Jay-Z tweeted: ”I’m gonna say this and then I’m gonna end mine.” BEYONCE is the best performer in the world. Period.” Though I haven’t seen this show in its entirety (or in HD), I agree wholeheartedly with his opinion.
