Rap-Up.com || Beyoncé’s Backstage ‘American Idol’ Rehearsal Footage [Video]

Before she debuted her new song before millions on “American Idol’s” season finale, Beyoncé killed in rehearsals. In this candid iPhone footage shot by Jay-Z in his wife’s dressing room, B and her band run through her performance of “1+1” as her mother Tina Knowles and nephew Julez look on. If you had any doubt about the power of her live shows, this should make you a believer.

@Tiffany, You do realize that Beyonce and Gaga are not fighting, right? Why are you trying to fight two grown women’s battles (that don’t even exist)? Get some business – your OWN business.

Love this song. I’m not a fan but I’m thinking about buying the album, it’s gonna be a real RnB album like we haven’t seen in a long time.
By the way: The song makes me think of “Glitter in the air” from pink, don’t know why.

@pierre, Beyonce is not and will not be making any ‘real R&B’ albums for pretentious ‘real music/R&B’ coons. her music CANNOT be boxed into ONE genre, and most certainly not ‘real R&B’. but glad you’re buying it! ^_^

@Brittney, and sweetheart is that what i said? i’m a fan of R&B like anyone else but people seem to think if it’s not ‘R&B/Soul’ then it’s not ‘real music’ [which in itself makes absolutely NO sense.] and that if Bey isn’t singing R&B, they don’t support her like it’s her obligation or a requirement to make that kind of music. it’s when R&B/’real music’ becomes the 1 & only acceptable music to some is where EYE have a problem with it. the same pretentious ‘real music’ fans DON’T support artists commercially, so i don’t see why anyone would cater to them anyways. so YOU can shut the fuck up please & thank you.

The voice of our generation? Puh-lease. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves now. That title belongs to Christina Aguilera and besides Jennifer Hudson and Fantasia come before Beyonce too. The only thing Beyonce has is technicality. I still love her, but her voice is thin like Diana Ross’s. That’s why she was chosen to play thin voice Deena Jones in Dreamgirls.

@Lisa, and you my darling can have a seat. no one is here for OVERSINGERS with NO control over their voice. NONE of those bitches listed can EVER pull off a flawless, on-key, PITCH perfect performance like The Queen. *hence* why STRAINtina stay cracking on every note, flubbed the anthem of the country she was born & raised in, etc. Jennifer & Fanny are good but they are LIMITED to CHURCH CHOIR vocals and the WORLD ain’t a big ass baptist community. mute.

@Lisa, Just because yu have power in your voice doesn’t make yu a better singer, there’s more to it. Bey has unbelievable vocals. Christina strains, and over singing songs, Jen she gives to much, and Fanny always tryna growl. Yu just one of those haters, that don’t credit when its due.

You’re so right. People are still brainwashed by her “attempt” at singing. That is NOT singing.

lmao @ ppl saying that fantasia and jennifer hudson sings better than beyonce!!! yeah right in what world?????? i used to be a huge fan of fantasia but now all she does is scream and thats very annoying!! as for jennifer hudson yeah i cant deny that she could sing but the only thing that makes her a great singer is the power behind her voice, but there is more to just singing then just projecting and im pretty sure some of you dont really know about music if any of these ladies could sing better than beyonce than why cant they do what she does?? it is very hard to sing a beyonce song LET ALONE DANCE AND SING THEM AND STAY ON KEY.. so stop the hate… Ive learned that negative ppl will always try to find something wrong with someone who is trying to do go and be positive so fans my advice to you is ignore them.. trust they will go away… BEYONCE IS THE QUEEN! ITS WRITTEN LOLZ
