Beyoncé Concert of noble proportions While the entire nation was in turmoil about the riot Sunday around the Royal song of John Ewbank, left r & b singer Beyoncé Knowles in the Ziggo Dome to the nobility of pop music is Beyoncé in Ziggo Dome photo series That Beyoncé Knowles has the nickname The Queen Bee for a reason, let the American superstar display in Amsterdam, during one of the most promising concerts on Dutch soil this year. The acting in the Ziggo Dome is part of her Mrs. Carter-world tour.
Beyoncé has a reputation to uphold as liveartiest and it soon becomes clear that they will redeem that promise soon. She plays during the entire show with the themes of monarchy and a world led by strong women. The hit Run The World (Girls) is thematically the perfect opener.
The former member of destiny's Child is on stage surrounded by dancers and an all-female backing band. Shrouded in white kicks Beyoncé on monumental way the show, with those danceable first single from her album 4, followed by End Of Time.
Storyline inspired by films and theatre With a stage show, you as a visitor not a moment. In addition, there is a fairly loose storyline that runs like a red thread through the concert. The message that women can stand their proverbial male, comes this very forward.
That this message is communicated in a show that best as sexy to qualify, is what debatable. Purely as entertainment is, however, recommended. Like a lioness drags you in her world, Beyoncé with creamy bedroom songs Naughty Girl and Dance For Me, in a burlesque setting.
Kneeling As vocalist is Beyoncé continuous rock-solid, although her singing qualities better in ballads like I Miss You and 1 + 1 then in the dance numbers. Nevertheless, 1 + 1 in its simplicity spectacular, with Beyoncé wrapped in a blue catsuit with glitters kneeling on top of a grand piano, while her curls playful dancing in the wind.
Immediately afterwards they flies by the Ziggo Dome, from the main stage to a smaller stage at the back of the room, where the somewhat more modest pop songs Irreplaceable and Resentment particularly well. It is the resting point for the exuberant finale of the show.
Girl power With extra money scoops as Crazy In Love, Put A Ring On It (Single Ladies) and the hit her perfect destiny's Child-Survivor connect Beyoncé the two-hour show entirely in style. Glitter, glamour and girl power; that is the action of Beyoncé in three words in summary.
Beyoncé has acquired a place in the highest ranks of pop music and put a show of noble proportions down, as in hair. Somewhere between The Queen Of Pop (Madonna) and The Queen Of Soul (Aretha Franklin) whisks her sceptre, adored by her subjects.

REVIEW
It was the weekend of the flying women in the Ziggo Dome. After Friday Pink had first floated high above the audience voted last night Beyonce airspace. Part of her show took place on a stage in the back room. How to get there from the main stage there? Simply, by flying. And there she was hanging from a trapeze over the heads of her fans. Acrobatics never looked so elegant.
The Mrs.. Carter Show Beyonces hot current, fourth world tour. The real name of her husband, rapper Jay-Z, is Shawn Carter, hence. There was some criticism in advance: it was not a little submissive that the singer called herself Mrs. Carter? What nonsense, the Ziggo Dome Run the World (Girls) the appropriate opening song of a show where female independence and strength precisely the theme.
Never before seen in the Ziggo Dome: an all-female backing band. Musicians are often stashed away in this branch of pop music, where what you see is perhaps even more important than what you hear at gigs. When Beyonce are the eleven women of the band emphatically visible on a rise on the stage.
Sometimes a solo for a down (get a bitch, that guitar can literally breathe fire!), But the 'ground floor' of the stage is still mainly the domain of Beyonce and her dancers, pardon, dancers, because here women are the boss. Les Twins, a really spectacular dancing twins from France, are the only male member in the Mrs.. Carter Show.
How many dancers to join the show, is almost impossible to keep. Typically Position: Beyonce front of the stage, behind in triangle form an army of equally leggy beauties. A wind machine does the hair fluttering and all of them have a look at the face of: bring it on! Beyonces voice falters in all those swirling ballets not even a moment.
Queen Bee is Beyonce called. And certainly the first part of the show looks set royal. The court of Louis XIV must have been an important source of inspiration. The stage seems to be a digital Versailles, where Beyonce gets around a black Marie Antoinette. Enjoyed all over the top, but it is also very stylish. The role of fashion icon in the pop Beyonce has finally taken over by Madonna.
How nice that Pink concert on Friday night, this is different. There are also Lady Gaga and Madonna (no longer) at near. Beyonce is the queen of pop music today. Here applies the W Wow.
This is going to be even bigger and better
