I could see her attending the concert but performing is probably a stretch. But who knows?
Fabulous! One good birthday turn deserves another! So excited! Thanks, jobeterob!!!Quote:

Totally amazing moment! Two Queens! Thank you for posting.
So awesome! It's really lovely that she did this. Here is the full video, with Diana's entrance. Seems there was a tech issue with the audio, at the beginning...
Love her entrance with all of the glitter and lights. She looks amazing! I'm sure she gained a few new young fans last night. :)

What an image those two side by side. One looks classy and one looks trashy [I would've thought wokeness would mean not flaunting yourself like a cheap piece of meat like that. I wouldn't be surprised if when she was rubbing herself all over her, Diana wasn't thinking "ewww"].
[I'm glad Diana managed those stairs OK]
Awwww so nice - Queen B sung at Diana's party and Diana returned the compliment. Finally something on a positive vein.

The torch is truly passed this time and hopefully Beyoncé has the longevity of Diana and avoids the pitfalls of Elvis and Michael and Whitney
I see Diana took a page from Mary Wilson's Motown 25 playbook and didn't conform to the dress code Beyonce has imposed at her concert that everyone [[including all audience members) must wear metallic silver.
Yes! Such a powerful moment for the ages—two Black female icons—one the blueprint, the other the acolyte—showing each other love across the generations. The culture wins. And the haters can die mad.Quote:

Restores your hope for the future, doesn’t it? ��Quote:

Rhonda, fetch me my black slinky one.
I thought she would do this for free??? No?
“Happy Birthday” needed to be in a lower key with Diana struggling a bit here.
From a personal perspective, i have always found Beyoncé to be as ordinary as Diana is special, though nice to see the two divas sharing some mutual respect here.
I tend to think she did do it for free. Beyonce came to her 75th birthday celebration and sang to her. I doubt she paid Beyonce for that. She would have attended as a friend. There's no way Diana would have expected payment to appear on stage for Beyonce's birthday. If anything, maybe Beyonce's team sent a limo for her, as a courtesy, and they likely made sure that she had a nice space backstage to get ready.Quote:

Having Diana traverse that extensive unfamiliar stage seemed ill-advised. That dress was dragging on the floor. [who thought that was a good idea??? Evan!!!] Thank goodness that part went well.
Just watched the above recording.....and does Diana seem to be looking around for Beyonce?? [where in the heck is she??] Did Beyonce miss her cue?? Maybe they were supposed to do some of that HANGOVER together.
Maybe Diana saw that extended stage and just couldn't resist. When Beyonce finally comes out she's looking for Diana, thinking, "why in the world is she way out there??" and has to run! Good thing she was wearing her exercise garb. he haw!
Added:
Beyonce dismisses Diana towards exit stage left, wrong! and a stage hand finally runs over and properly guides her backstage.
This makes sense.Quote:

They can be somewhat normal and have relationships and feelings.
Yes it sucks it really would've been cool if the Love Hangover clip went off so much better! [[and Ollie I agree with your points as well)Quote:

No golden spoon to be found in the above shot. Looks like they are using wooden spoons for their caviar! ;)

Yes. There was also a big issue with the sound at her show in Phoenix last week. The entire sound system failed mid-performance and Beyonce ended up having to walk off the stage to address it. I'm sure her show is very technical and unfortunately these things happen.Quote:

From Evan’s restaurant or from a caterer?
That would have warranted more than a plastic or wooden spoon; maybe a silver plastic spoon?
Great pictures
Pass around balloons and cake? LOL. SOFI stadium holds 70,000 people and im afraid the Lord Jesus was busy that night. Passing cake or ballons around would have taken about 96 hours. LOLOLOLOLOLOLQuote:

None-the-less I bet the guys in the band and the stage workers and the event volunteers would've appreciated even a small piece from some overblown glittering silver cake that gets wheeled out with 42 candles blaring.Quote:

AND
a reveal from Diana that there's a copy to be found of her THANK YOU project taped underneath each and every fan's seat !
Amazing. No hint of advancing years in how Diana tackled those stairs or in these pics. Perhaps she was there to make a point.
