Beyonce Nostalgia

I remember watching this performance on TV. This was in 2005. This was after Beyonce's first solo album and after Destiny's Child's last album. Having been a fan of Destiny's Child all through high school, I was excited to see Beyonce perform a Tina song. I knew how much I loved watching her perform, but I was used to loving artists that others didn't. I specifically remember this performance because I remember thinking, this isn't like my other music fads. This was the moment I realized that Beyonce was bigger than big. She instantly commanded this room of people from all walks of life. Even though she was "impersonating" Tina Turner, this was no ordinary cover. She took on a persona on that stage that enabled her to demand the attention of every person in ear range. She creates a world that everyone wants to be a part of and when I was watching this performance in my parents' living room, I remember thinking, she is going to be around for a long time and I will be telling my children about her. Thus far, she has yet to disappoint!
