Starting things off with the biggest bang ever! Beyonce and Jay Z kicked off the Grammys 2014 inside L.A.'s Staples Center Sunday, Jan. 26 with a performance that'll be difficult to top. Although rapper Jay Z, 44, is the one up for multiple statues this year for his Holy Grail album, Blue Ivy's mom and dad selected a duet-track from Beyonce's late-December surprise album, "Drunk in Love" for their set.
Beyonce & Jay Z Grammys Performance: Couple Owns The Show With 'Drunk In Love.
The 56th annual Grammy Awards can bow down, because Beyonce and Jay Z just teamed up for a performance of "Drunk In Love," stealing the show and further proving that they run the world. Looking predictably stunning in a caged, thong onesie, Bey gyrated on a spinning chair, before being joined by a tux-clad Jay Z.
Best Seat in the House: Beyoncé opened the show performing "Drunk in Love" with just a chair, a "surfboard" and then some sexy time with hubby Jay Z. Simple, sexy and such a better way to open the show than...
For the opening performance of the 2014 Grammy Awards, Beyoncé and Jay Z tag teamed on “Drunk in Love.” The joint performance opened with Bey sitting on a chair with her back to the audience, belting out the slow, sexy lyrics – taking a few moments to give a sultry glance to onlookers at home. The stage was dark and smoke surrounded the superstar until she finally got up and started to strut a bit. When Jay Z came out for his verse, the audience erupted. The pair held hands, slow-danced a bit and got the show off to a steamy start. It was a near flawless performance — and the first time they’ve played this song together in public live.
Beyoncé set the stage on fire with her opening performance at the Grammys.
We’re not even through hour one of this year’s Grammys telecast, but already it seems like it might be all downhill from here. Beyoncé kicked the night off with a sexy, scorching version of “Drunk in Love” with her husband Jay Z, delivering a nearly note-perfect take on the surprisingly hot marital relations that are one of the major themes of Beyoncé.
To top it off, she came through with double surfbort—a little service to her fans.
Jay Z and Beyoncé, music’s hottest power couple, kicked off the 56th GRAMMY Awards with their steamiest performance yet.
Lights shined down on a wet-haired, Chromat-wearing Bey’ as she straddled a chair to "Drunk In Love." Her husband, Jay Z, joined her for his collaborative rhymes, making it their first televised performance of the hit from her Internet-smashing self-titled album. No one could miss the smile that Jay sported while performing alongside his wife -- or his hand as it slid down to pat her shaking derriere.
The stage looked like the scene out of a sexy cabaret show, with Beyonce posing seductively on a chair, enveloped in smoke, as the curtains lifted. When the dim lights turned on and her first vocals came booming through the arena, you could almost taste the aroma of sex appeal in the air.
That chair might be the luckiest piece of furniture in the world, as Bey spent plenty of the performance grinding and werkin' it while seated, her mesh body suit leaving very little, but just enough, to the imagination.
Here were some of the highlights of the 2014 Grammy Awards:
Best Duet With A Chair: Beyoncé. The 2014 Grammys opened strong with a smoking, steamy, bleep-filled and mostly seated performance of “Drunk in Love” by Beyoncé and Jay Z, who managed to make an Ikea chair look like a peep show prop. This should definitely earn her an award next year.
BEST: Had you any doubt that Beyoncé and Jay Z are not only the king and queen of the music industry, but rule over all of pop culture, their sexy duet "Drunk in Love," which opened the show, should have put an end to it. Few — if any other? — celeb couples could so seamlessly begin a performance with her gyrating on a chair sans pants and end it with an embrace that showcases not only their power couple status, but their sweetness as a couple.
Beyoncé 's undeniable streak at being able to impress with each and every TV showcase remains unbroken.
How has almost everything gone awry and backfired completely since this morning, though?
"Aux, her performance was of VMA '07 proportions"
"Aux, no one cared for her appearance + the media dragging her"
"Aux, no top 10"
"Aux, ratings decrease"
