Right when I think it's impossible to love Beyonce more that I already do, she goes and kills it at last night's Billboard Awards. There was never a doubt in my mind that she is the best there is, but like, if you don't agree after that performance, then I think you should probably see a neurologist.
If anyone wasn't sure she should be receiving the Billboard Millenium Award at such a young age, she proved to them that she's worthy. Even Keri Hilson and Rihanna gave Bey props via twitter after the performance! There's not much I can say, because the video speaks for itself--if you missed it, you have GOT to watch!

The R&B star Beyonce mesmerized and stunned everyone watching the killer performance of her brand new single "Run The World (Girls)" off her upcoming album '4' - in stores on June 28th - Beyonce's performance was preceded by short speeches by the likes of Lady Gaga, Stevie Wonder, Bono of U2, Michelle Obama, etc, who recognized Beyonce's talent and music career. Back to the performance, Bee killed it, from the awesome CGI on the back screen she interacted with to the hot vocals and choreography.

Beyonce, the hardest working woman in show business, put enough work into her performance for herself and about 50 Britneys. At first, viewers may not even been sure that her appearance was live and not on film, since she was seen dancing in perfect unison with cloned images of herself that were clearly on tape. Soon enough it was obvious one of the images of her was not a projection but the real thing. Whether the typically impressive performance will be enough to get the masses to love her polarizingly unhummable new single, "Run the World (Girls)," remains to be seen.
But on this night of supposed winners, Beyonce was one of the few principles who came out clearly on the winning side.

She recently released a video encouraging people to Move Your Body to lose weight - and Beyonce certainly showed the benefits of exercise when she flaunted her super-toned body in an incredible metallic mesh dress at the Billboard Music Awards last night.
The fringed silver creation, which looked like a bodysuit made from metal macrame, exposed every inch of her curves, yet was cleverly crafted to keep her decent too.
The 29-year-old wore the daring design that was not for the faint-hearted or those with an ounce of excess fat over flesh-coloured underwear and fishnet tights.
Beyonce, who has won 16 Grammy Awards over the years, added another to her haul when she landed the title of Billboard Millennium Artist last night, acknowledging her career over the years.
She put on an astonishing performance of her current single Run the World (Girls), which saw her interact with the futuristic video projections screened behind her onstage, and at one point, even act out a fight scene.
She sang live whilst undertaking the vigourous routine, ably accompanied by a host of equally athletic backing dancers.
After her incredible stage show, Beyonce was presented with her gong by her mother, Tina Knowles, who she runs fashion label House Of Dereon with - perhaps the origin of her dreamcatcher-esque outfit.
Afterwards, the star changed into a plunging, figure-hugging black dress which she teamed with silver peeptoe Louboutins to meet the press at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
The performance in the raunchy web dress is a taste of what's to come when the star headlines Glastonbury Festival next month.

Beyonce brought remarkable visual effects to an intense performance of ‘Run the World (Girls)’ at tonight’s Billboard Music Awards, earning a standing ovation, before accepting the Millennium Award.
The performance opened with a black-and-white introductory video featuring accolades from her mother, her father, First Lady Michelle Obama, and legendary acts like Bono, Stevie Wonder, Babyface and Barbra Streisand.
Next, a giant lion head appeared on the video screen, shooting glitter from its mouth as Beyonce took the stage. “Ladies, our revolution has begun!,” she screamed.
As the song started, viewers were treated to a series of impressive visual effects, including laser lights and video clones of the singer that appeared on the screen behind her, creating an army of Beyonces as she sang the militaristic track.
Beyonce ventured into the crowd, where she shouted a line right in Matthew Morrison‘s face. Eventually, the digital Beyonces gave way to actual female dancers, dozens of them, who backed up the singer as she finished the track to wild applause.
After performing, Beyonce was presented with the Billboard Millennium Award by her mother. She thanked her former Destiny’s Child bandmates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, saying, “I wouldn’t be standing on this stage if it wasn’t for y’all.”
She added a rare public thank you to the original Destiny’s Child members, LeToya Luckett and LaTavia Roberson. Beyonce also thanked her fans and her husband, who she called her best friend. “I love me some Jay-Z!,” she boasted.

the dichotomy between the tribute and the performance was too much for me. she should have came out in a beautiful gown and sung halo and left everyone breathless.

I still feel the "Crazy In Love/Freakum Dress" combo from The Beyonce Experience is her best performance.  The Billboard Music Awards performance of "Run The World (Girls)" is tied with her MTV Music Video Awards performance of "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)" as her second best performance, in my opinion.
