The truth is I knew I was going to see Beyonce more than once even before tickets went on sale (because that’s what I do for all her tours…she’s that incredible). But after that amazing show in NY, it’s official. I’ll be seeing her in Atlanta, GA on 7/1 with floor seats that are close to the B-Stage. After that I’ll see her in East Rutherford, NJ on 7/24 with seats directly above the floor (across from B-Stage). I’ll see you there! Can’t wait

Here are the pictures! I want to do it all over again…This time near the B-stage! P.S. Click here for my on-stage ticket review! Enjoy

Yesterday was Beyonce’s opening night for the U.S. leg of her “I Am…” Tour and well… I was right there! And I mean right there. It was at Madison Square Garden in NYC. I had these special “on-stage” tickets that literally allowed me to lean on the stage (the one Beyonce ran on, rolled on, danced on, basically OWNED on). It was called the “Diva Zone” and it was basically a pit in front of the front row. It was everything I wanted and so much more. This show was phenomonal. And my seats basically just made it all that better. OBVIOUSLY touching Beyonce’s hand twice and then having her put her hand around my face (right side of face to be exact) while singing to me was a kicker too. Seriously. I don’t even remember what song it was during. It was like I went deaf for a second while I just stood there in shock/awe/complete happiness. I really hope I don’t sound like a creeper. She’s just such an inspiration. I’m a really big fan, but I am so not at that creeper/stalker level. It’s a fan thing!

I’m not a huge fan of long reviews of concerts (because there’s nothing like actually being there…) but basically it was everything I expected from Beyonce and more. I’ve been to every tour this girl has been on since she’s gone solo (twice for each tour actually..and obviously the Destiny’s Child concerts) and she brought it all. The favorite songs, the DC CLASSICS, hot OUTFITS, the ALL-FEMALE BAND, amazing DANCERS, over-the-top PRODUCTION (she basically raised to the roof and air-walked to a middle stage…she did some flips too..she hovered over the entire floor audience…SICK), the ENERGY, the VOICE, SashaFierce, and of course, Beyonce. Oh and Jay Z totally showed up to help out Beyonce with “Crazy in Love” at the beginning. I know what you’re thinking and yes it was as hot as it sounds. If you haven’t seen Beyonce before, this is a great tour to start on. If you have seen her before, like me, then you must be more than just the average fan…in which case you would definitely want to see this.

This statement just needs it’s own paragraph. The VOICE.

What the hell is the B-stage? At one point during the show Beyonce flew across to a mini stage called the “B Stage.” It’s a stage in the middle of the floor and Beyonce performed some of my favorite songs on it. Irreplaceable (always so much fun with the crowd…if you’ve seen B then you know), Upgrade U, Video Phone, and if I remember correctly, I’m pretty sure she sang all the Destiny’s Child classics (in a medley version) on that stage too. Is it so horrible that I want to go to another show and get tickets near this stage just so I can have that experience? I’m working on it. I’m sorry if for some reason you think less of me because of it.

BTW, anyone could have bought the on-stage seats, you just needed to get on it before they sold out (I usually get on top of my important shows so I always manage to get exactly what I want). For me, they were worth every penny of it. Because even now I can’t stop smiling. And you know what was really special too? My birthday was last week and Beyonce sang “Happy Birthday” to the audience during the show. On top of all the other amazing things, that was just the perfect ending.

I Am… Yours. Shout out to everyone on Diva Stage right and everyone else who rocked out to B at Madison Square Garden in NYC last night! NY=the best crowds.

Click here to check out Beyonce’s U.S. tour dates with pre-sale info and VIP packages! I’m so on that.

I’ve gotten a few emails about Beyonce’s upcoming “I Am” Tour and let me just say I completely feel you on this. Where the hell are the U.S. tour dates? She’s already begun touring the UK and rest of Europe, will hit Australia eventually, and then I hear that she won’t be in the U.S. until June. I wish I had more information (not only to help but to also tone down my crazy). FYI, as soon as these tour dates are announced, you KNOW I will post them here! I’m thinking we’ll get some dates by the end of the month/early May. Hey, at least she’ll be touring over the summer so maybe that will mean more possibility of going to a show/more time to raise some cash to see Beyonce! Some of those VIP packages look madd exciting...ON STAGE WITH BEYONCE? Sold.  I’ll keep you posted

Click here to check out Beyonce.com, where all the show dates are posted on the main page (bottom left)!

Let’s talk about Beyonce and what’s coming up with her. To your right is a picture of Beyonce on the cover of a magazine called Los Angeles Confidential. I’ve never heard of the magazine but it had a picture of Beyonce I haven’t seen before so everyone wins.

The “I Am… Sasha Fierce” album: I am obsessed with Beyonce’s new album (which has been out since this past November). Seriously, what a range this girl has. While I love the upbeat songs like Single Ladies and Diva, I think the ballads hit home for me…all of them. Her voice just sounds so beautiful. This is the kind of music that reminds me why exactly I’m paying for it in the first place. Beyonce, keep this up and you’ll go down as a legend (you know, more than you already are). Get on this album. It’s never too late.

Beyonce’s “I Am… Tour”: Beyonce starts her next world tour later this month in Canada. As of right now, it’s mostly a European tour with some dates in Canada and 1 in the United States (Seattle, WA on April 1, 2009 and New Orleans, LA on July 3-5). I’m not exactly sure why only Seattle and New Orleans at the moment, but hopefully more U.S. tour dates will be released soon (they must be). She is having VIP packages for most of the tour where you can meet her and even have a ticket on the stage (I have to find a way to get to one of these concerts…lol).

I met Beyonce?: So I was going to bring this up eventually. Basically I paid my way to meet Beyonce through one of her VIP packages (during her Beyonce experience tour in 2007…It was the NYC show on August 5th, 2007…how could I possibly forget?). Well anyway, it was a really short meet and greet where we got to shake hands with her and take a picture with her. I took my friend with me and let’s just say we were about to faint when we saw her. We were wearing our Beyonce shirts and Beyonce said to us, “you look cute in your t-shirts.” That’s the reason for the big smile to your right…What an amazing moment in time. BTW, she looked like a doll. After this we had tickets within the first 3 rows (it may have been front..I forget). Beyonce was of course excellent in concert and I ended up going to see her again in Atlantic City… I took my mom to that one and she loved it. I love seeing the small differences (if any) between different shows… I know that may make me a freak in some eyes…but I’d rather be called a freak and get to see Beyonce perform

Beyonce’s new movie “Obsessed”: Have you seen the trailers for Beyonce’s next movie? It’s called Obsessed and hits theatres on April 24. It’s a different type of movie where she plays a girlfriend of a guy who seemed to have a crazy stalker. The previews actually look really exciting…I’m not sure if it’s the movie or Beyonce in the movie…Something tells me it’s the latter…Regardless, can’t wait to see B in this one. April 24. Add it to the calendar.

Beyonce’s never been in a relationship before?: Back to the new magazine Beyonce’s on the cover of above…In the magazine she talks about writing songs about dealing with heartache and not having someone who does the same for her. She also claims that she has never had a breakup and that Jay Z is her first relationship. Ummm I’m not really sure what to think or say, but let’s say it was true. That’d be really interesting. I mean it’s really not a big deal if she’s been in relationships before so there’s no sense in lying about something like that…is there? Who knows. Whatevs, I still love ya.

Okay so that was a lot of fun to write. Guess what album I’m listening to at the moment? That’s right, I Am…Sasha Fierce! Fierce indeed.

So I just received an email with an “exclusive password” to buy Beyonce tickets. In the list of tour dates I saw a show in Seattle, WA. This is the only U.S. tour date I have seen so far for Beyonce’s “I Am” tour…and Washington sure beats going to Europe…wait..I kinda want to go to Europe now. Sigh.

Keep checking Beyonce’s tour page at Ticketmaster here! The password is “beyonce”.

Beyonce… I love you, but is there a reason why you’re only touring Europe in the Spring? Am I seriously going to have to fly to Europe to see you in concert again (I mean, if I have to I will..but I’d prefer the convenience of the States). Now that I think about it… I’ve been to every tour Beyonce has done since she went solo… Alright, time to start looking into which “I Am…” show I’ll be going to. It has to be after finals and before summer school. This will be annoying but worth it.

If any of you are interested in seeing B in Europe, here’s the link for all the info you need (and some really exciting VIP packages…that’s how I got to meet Beyonce the first time around!)

P.S. I know I sound like a crazy person, but this is how much I love Beyonce in concert. She’s amazing.
