Last night my friends invited me to see a screening of Beyonce’s new DVD,“Live At Roseland: The Elements Of 4” at Paris Theatre in midtown.
The night promised free popcorn, a Beyonce sighting, and a look at her latest concert–I couldn’t say no!
Before we settled in, Beyonce took to the stage to answer a few questions about the flick, which reveals several personal moments in her life:
She said, “I always do my video diaries. And when I’m doing them, I never think anyone will ever see them. But because I don’t tweet, I still feel it’s important people get a sense of who I am. It’s great when I can control it…I always try to reveal different sides of me…I feel like I’ve been here for a very long time. I’m still growing. I plan on continuing to perform and doing what I love. I think after 15 years, it’s time that I just enjoy my life. Performing gives me so much pleasure. And I do it so much because I love it. But as far as taking risks and staying excited, and inspiring other people…that’s what I want to do instead of proving anything to anyone.”
Take a look:
Let me tell you, people were jumping to their feet and dancing in their seats!
What do you think of the video?
Thx Gigi and Natalya!
I love it!
I wish I could’ve been there! I watched the dvd on VEVO last night and I loved it! She looks gorgeous! I’m loving the baby glow! :)
Love it! Claire WHAT DID YOU WEAR??!?!
I am sure they were jumping in their seats to impress Beyonce!
SMH the brainwashing that goes on these days is unbelievable! And yes I am not a fan!
I’m over Bey this time, She’s not a fashion girl to me she’s more shoes & bags. As well as she’s been doing the same tour set for four cd’s now
I couldn’t stop watching. She had all my fav songs from the Destiny child days.
The video has alot of the same elements as her Live in Vegas (can’t remember the exact name) so I’m not terribly impressed. But I love her latest CD so much(my fiance had tried to delete it from my itunes.) that I would like to see/hear those songs performed live. I heard she sang every song from the new CD at the concert but l don’t think they all made the DVD.
I watched it on Vevo!! I looooooved every minute of it!
So, I guess some folks (yes, Desi) don’t “jump in their seats for folks they are a “FAN” of!!! What does that have to do with “brainwashing”!! Some do the same when they go to church and hear their pastor or a good word..does that mean they are brainwashed too? I could give other examples, but you get the point Come on now…..
@dyshaun I was wearing a gray sweater dress, my new coral J.Crew wool blazer, flat black boots, and a leopard bag. I wasn’t expecting to blog about it, it was just a casual Sunday afternoon for me…! But I thought you guys might like to see the DVD, so included it in today’s posts. x
Claire that you SO much for posting this. It was absolutely phenomenal. Love seeing all the intimate moments of Beyonce’s life. She is one of the greatest to ever do it.
I can’t wait to get my deluxe copy next week.
thanks for sharing this Claire! I loved every second of it. #teambey
Bey is such a beautiful and quirky soul.
Thanks for sharing Claire.
Claire, did you get the hacking jacket from jcrew. I’m obsessed with it, but I’ve been too busy to get on location to try it on. How’s the fit if you don’t mind my asking?
@Caribbelle Yep, that’s the one. Here’s a link:

It fits pretty true to size. I’m usually a 12 in tops, and this one works perfectly. The color is GORGEOUS can’t wait to shoot it for a Style Diary xoxo.
” it was just a casual Sunday afternoon for me…! ”
Claire LOL! You say it so nonchalantly…and all I can do is SMH and LOL Cause I was doing laundryyyyy for my 5 kids. I will just live vicariously!!!
Imagine a casual afternoon w Bey!
Oh, thanks for the vid. You know us so well! X!!
I just wanted to make sure about the size before I bit the bullet. Can’t wait to see it in the photos!!
OMGGGGGG Bey is everything!
Desi
So if you are a fan you must be brainwashed right? girl, go find a corner and sit your bitter ass down. Some of you are incredibly insufferable. SMH
Beautiful..I love Bey..She’s sooo humble!!
Brainwashing?…I swear some of YOU ppl make me sick!!
i watched the video on VEVO last night and I had a bit of DeJaVu (no pun intended) watching it. The little skits were exactly like ones she did a few years ago. And the “home videos” always seem so staged. I was a little upset about that. But I did enjoy watching her trying to keep her dress from flying up so we wouldnt see the beginnings of her infamous baby bump! LOL Overall, it was a decent video. I enjoyed the I AM dvd waaaaaaaaaaaaay more though.
im not a fan of beyonce when she’s doing interviews (its the same song, different verse), however i do love her as a performer and i think she looked great in the pics ive seen of her from last night’s appearance.
Claire, the real question is……… DID THE BABY BUMP LOOK REAL IN PERSON or MORE LIKE A LUMPY PILLOW??!!!
