Omygod, guys, I just have to share my thoughts after yesterday, when I went to see Beyoncé on her Formation World Tour in Amsterdam!!!
Omygod, again, she is wonderful! It has amazed me how much power, confidence and self-control she has. The way Beyoncé performs is so appealing: this woman really owns that stage!
I was alone, but got along with the girl standing next to me. She knew the setlist by heart and pointed out all the set changes during the interludes or between te songs. According to her, the song
Irreplaceable (she sang this one acapella after
Sorry) was new and a great surprise. But
Single Ladies was left out. It did not sound as if something or some song was 'missing' in this concert. Every song made sense in the acts and it was beautifully put together.
Also, I really liked that she'd cut the songs to a shorter length, so she could add more medley's, dancing and mashups. Most of the ballads were sung in full length,
1+1 in particular.
My favourite moment of the concert was the acapella of
Love on Top. The whole stadium started to sing along and even continued the chorus non-stop. Eventually, she putted an end to it, but from the look of her face, she was very amused that we did so.
My story probably sounds like a typical Beyoncé concert. Needless to say, I had so much fun last night.
Next time she is coming to the Netherlands (or to wherever I will live in my life) I will definetely get better places. I sat to the left side of the stage, where I had a good view over the whole stage. I saw Beyoncé very well, but my view on the main stage was blocked by one of the tv screens. I couldn't see her dancing in the boxes(?) during
Partition and
Crazy in Love and the acrobat dancing in some sort of cubus (very similair to Ayu's
Marionette performance from the last countdown) was completely out of sight.
To end this story, I included one of the pics I made during this concert:
