Beyonce is back—the superstar singer made her first concert appearance after the January birth of baby Blue Ivy with the first of four performances at the new Revel resort and casino in Atlantic City. Prior to the show, she released this video, showing her 8-weeks of preparation:
Last night Beyonce sang hits ("Crazy in Love," "Single Ladies") and also merged songs, like her own "If I Were A Boy" with The Goo Goo Dolls' "Iris." And while the shows were sellouts, Beyonce fan Miss Jia Tweeted, "About a little over midway thru, Revel security got slack and people got in free," and noted that a few seats around her were free. Fie on you, ticket resellers!
Here are some videos from the show, which prompted her husband Jay-Z to tweet, "'I'm gonna say this and then I'm gonna end mine.' BEYONCE is the best performer in the world. Period."
And this one has narration ("Sing it, mama! Sing it, bitch!... Let the Lord use you... Let him use you, mother!") along with Beyonce singing a little of "I Will Always Love You" before singing "Halo":
