I'm sure by now that we've all head about Beyonce's flawless, feminist, and beyond fearless performance at the VMA's. Here is when we begin to question what her purpose, motivation, and message in this stunning performance was. Why did she chose this as her act on stage? In this 20 minute segment Beyonce takes you on an emotional journey through her most recent, self-titled album, about her life.
The first event, and probably the most fierce of them all, was her message of feminism. "In fact, (says Bustle Entertainment) the whole stage went dark, casting Beyonce into shadow, making sure that the word FEMINIST was all the entire world watching the VMA's could see". Since then, the big discussion has been why Beyonce would throw such a controversial statement on stage. The answer? Her strong belief in being nothing but herself. We all know how independent and self attaining Beyonce can be, which is why she fits right under the category of leadership, and also why her last album has sold over 3 million copies worldwide (Bustle).
After you are introduced to "her world" Beyonce continues to take you through a journey that can only be described as flawless. As she continues into songs from her new album (such as Blow) she shows off some of her famous moves and choreography expressing nothing less then, you guessed it, herself. This is yet another one of the countless reasons why many of us idolize Beyonce today, because we too want to have the pure confidence and pride that Beyonce has attained.
Beyonces stunning performance was then concluded with an "emotional arc with family footage playing behind her as she preformed Blue" (MTV News). Pictures consisted mostly of her child Blue, her husband Jay Z, and her together. Right after the conclusion of the performance Jay Z and Blue came on stage and presented her with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award, bringing Beyonce to tears. "I'm so full, I have nothing to say" she said, all choked up." I'm filled with so much gratitude, I just thank God for this moment. I love y'all so much. Blue I love you Blue, my beloved (Jay Z) I love you. My fans, I love you. MTV, I love you, goodnight" (MTV News).
