Judging by my Facebook feed alone, it seems like her VMA performance/stunt was pretty well-received.

I loved her performance. And I didn't think she was crying at Blue, she was tearing up before that... Not the first time I've seen artists performing live get emotional at the end. But it was the only reason I sat through the hellish ceremony so I'm biased.

Note to Beyonce: bringing your child on stage at the VMAs does not qualify you to ever again claim that you are private. It's been a while since Beyoncé has gone on about how private she is, and Blue Ivy made one of her first "public appearances" at the VMAs, so to speak, so having her onstage for the Vanguard moment seemed perfectly reasonable, but YMMV. But does she still have a career when she can't turn to the cameras and shake her butt for 20 minutes? Destiny's Child had their first hit in 1998. Someday, Beyoncé will be too old for her new music to be relevant to the latest youthful generation, but that's true for all singers. It wouldn't surprise me if she had another 20-30 years of touring in her like other performers who've come before her and also shared a love of elaborate stage shows and body-baring outfits.

Today most pop singers become irrelevant when they reach forty. I think Beyonce is a great performer, a lot better than Britney Spears who sucked as all hell onstage. And I thought it was cute seeing Blue Ivy, but I'm not all that cynical either.

My eyes rolled right out of my head and onto the floor (I think they're still down there someplace). I was waiting for Solange to come out carrying a picture of puppies or something. Her whole schtick is so off-putting to me. I'm surprised she and Jay didn't break out into "I Got You, Babe" with Chastity, er, I mean Blue Ivy, clapping along to the beat.

I loved every moment not just for the performance but the uproar she causes every single time.

I think she's talented, but "The Machine" gets to be too much. Although I think the moment with Blue was cute - it does leave a bad taste in my mouth that she bascially used her two year old as a prop to disprove the divorce rumours. But I guess I shouldn't be surprised, she announced her pregancy on that same stage.
The whole Jay / Bey show yesterday leaves me to think she chose not to shoot down the rumors not because there was truth to them (as I previously thought) but to create buzz about the tour, planning to end it this way, knowing it would be A Moment. I would care less if she didn't involve her kid in all of it.
Beyonce's a great business woman, I'll give her that. Just not sure I like the person.

She really is nothing but hype because her performance bored me. Probably because her album sucked and that is what she performed, but still.

She was the best thing about the VMAs last night. When did the show get so boring?

It got boring when everyone started to take an award from MTV seriously. I remember when the VMAs were basically a mockery of other stuffy award shows. The show used to be irreverent. Now it's become what it used to mock. Queen Bey was ***Flawless and Blue is following in her footsteps. Love Jay's proud Papa smile.
