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.

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.

Beyonce showed Sunday in Amsterdam that she is the queen of the music industry. The 31-year-old superstar gave a concert at the Ziggo Dome for her The Mrs.. Carter Show-world tour. In a show that could have come straight from Las Vegas she knew the audience effortlessly to wind her finger.
With the opening of the concert was immediately put the tone for the evening. The woman battle Who Run The World (Girls) Beyoncé began the show with her band and dance crew that consisted entirely of women. Femininity is strength and should be celebrated above all, argued the singer. Something they certainly did themselves, whether it was in a challenging dress, cool in leather or in a glitter catsuit. Beyonce is all woman and sexy and seductive with class.
The decor had little to offer. The singer explained the focus on live singing and dancing. A combination that Beyonce went off effortlessly. The audience knew they pack it with ease. The audience clapped and sang along and thousands of fanatical phones went over and over the air to the concert on photo and video capture.
The first part of the show consisted largely of uptempo songs. Halfway through the concert Beyonce gave an intimate twist to the evening. By funicular flew the singer to a smaller stage in the back room. "Hello Amsterdam, it's always nice to be closer to," said the singer. "Do you like it here? I do, I think I never want to leave." While the numbers and Irreplaceable Love On Top singer took extensive shake the public and fans to sing along with her songs. Time hands
After they brought the song from her Destiny's Child Survivor-time-stoppers, Superstar proved to have. Guts Her bodyguards paved a road that led back to the main stage. Blood Fanatical fans tried to touch the superstar. Her bodyguards had difficulty protecting unscathed and haartrekkerij. Singers
The roof went really off when Beyonce some of her big hits repel. On Crazy In Love sang the audience lustily and Single Ladies was danced exuberantly. Beyonce swept the audience and also knew the energy and focus to hold when she closed the show with quiet songs. She paid tribute to the deceased Whitney Houston in 2012 and ended the evening with her hit Halo. The crowd went wild and Beyonce found the evening a success. "You were a great audience, I'll be back soon," promised the singer.

Beyonce in Ziggo Dome: finally a world star who convinces in all
REVIEW
The big new popfenomenen of the moment, Lady Gaga, Rihanna and Justin Bieber, all seem to have one thing in common with each other: their live presentation lags far behind their star. No new development, because Madonna should always have more than visual spectacle of her vocal arts when she enters the stage. But pop music is gradually becoming well again use a world star who dazzles on all fronts when the room lights go out.
Fortunately, there are Beyonce, who gave Sunday its first of two sold-out concerts in Amsterdam Ziggo Dome. The opening is at once all that great, with two of her best, most uplifting songs Run The World (Girls) and End Of Time, that you wonder whether they can sustain up to two hours. Yes so. She looks itself not only stunningly beautiful, with more and after a few songs yet another beautiful creation of leotard format, they know also to surround himself with equally leggy dancers and stands behind her on stage a handsome mainly consisting of women bond with choir.
Make the ladies in the show service, so much is clear. After a few songs Too bad they show her what The Mrs. submissive. Carter Show World Tour calls, because they gotta have more ambitions than to profile. Himself as wife of rap super-Jay-Z
Mighty voice
Time to catch your breath she gives her audience barely. Her appearance seems over the years only to be inescapable, and then there's her powerful voice. Because it's not just the smooth dance songs which she packs her audience, she sings equally great. With Flaws And All she impresses early in the set, while I Care Irreplaceable and other peak moments in a show that still only slowed down a bit during the completely unnecessary movies while changing.
For Irreplaceable they showed up a trapeze to a small stage in the back of the hall perform to the delight of those who could behold. Up to then only from afar
If they do during Survivor paves way through the hall back to the stage, she is suddenly much less than before leaning on the hits of Destiny's Child, which they broke through in the nineties.
Her biggest, and perhaps strongest hits stores them until the end. Crazy In Love and Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It) forming a festive climax that matched those rare perfect show. Again the smartphone in the air, for a picture. The audience not only eyes and ears too short, can applaud with such a thing in your hands even if not.
Finally, a world star who convinces in all.

Beyonce shows how to do it
Much fuss she does not need to entertain a large audience but Beyonce had spared no effort during the first of her two Mrs. Carter Show-concerts at the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam.
The 15,500 strong audience saw her in as many as eight different uniforms - mostly swimsuit-like ensembles - and put into production of beautiful light shows her best songs. With her band, which consists entirely of women, and team of top dancers left the sexy superstar's see who
the real Queen of Pop is.
For a slightly more intimate interlude she flew on a rope from the main stage to a plateau around the back of the concert hall where they are close to her fans came to be. Numbers that were discussed were other Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It), Crazy in Love and Halo.
Her Destiny's Child period was discussed, with Survivor. Remarkable was a short tribute to Whitney Houston. Just before the end of the show she sang the first part of I Will Always Love You.
Rarely been at a concert where the audience so deafening for the rise of the artist railed as with Beyonce in the Ziggo Dome last night.
Those who had purchased for the concert of Beyonce in the Ziggo Dome last night, a ticket for the bleachers that had obviously only done to see. Texan star better At least not to sit, a few by their girlfriends boys rushed after, everyone was from opener 'Run The World' before or on the seats to dance.
Unless superstar Beyonce is also known as America's Sweetheart. But with The Mrs.. Carter Show World Tour does the Texan clearly an attempt to brave her image to kill off. One of her daring outfits during the show - big concerts of female pop stars are even bigger fancy dress - is a crystal with machined bodysuit breasts which are depicted. It looks so real - the depicted breasts are exactly where breasts usually are - that a large part of the audience at the kickoff of the tour, last week in the Serbian capital Belgrade, thought their idol half naked on stage stood.
The audience at the Ziggo Dome last night did not stop screaming, dancing and clapping. And with every turn pull out the cell phone to take photos and videos of Beyonce's graceful moves and suggestive winding dancers making course.
That was fine. With its mix of R & B, soul and pop, the cartload of hits and her powerful voice grabbed Mrs. Carter, as her name since her marriage to Jay-Z, even in the entrained friends. Had been stuck there also something to do. All these exciting packages on stage with.
