Beyoncé: Interviews & Performs At “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon” In New York City! [Videos]
Beyoncé definitely had a leg up on all the other late night performances on Thursday. Sasha Fierce stepped out in a super-short (and sexy) white minidress to sing her new single “Best Thing I Never Had” on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.
The international superstar really got into it towards the end that led to the audience letting out a preemptive applause. Her backup band was also something to be envied. It was none other than Quest Love and The Roots, the Late Night‘s house band!

Beyoncé: Interviews With “The View” Cast + Performs In New York City! [Photos + Videos]
Beyoncé added more estrogen to the room when she visited ‘The View’ on Thursday. The ladies asked the R&B star about everything from her hiatus to her husband before she graced the audience with a performance of ’1+1? and ‘Best Thing I Never Had.’
To reiterate what she said in her Essence cover story, Beyoncé talked about what pushed her to take a year-long break from the industry. “My mother was very, very persistent and kept telling me I had to take care of my mental health and get a chance to really enjoy life and everything that I’ve been able to accomplish, because it was starting to become kind of fuzzy,” she said. “I couldn’t even tell the difference between which day or which city I was in.”

Beyoncé: Featured In TIME “The 30 All-TIME Best Music Videos” [News]
There are two ways to shoot a dance-heavy video. You can build an elaborate set, design multiple costumes and hire a cavalcade of dancers to serve as back-up bodies. Or you can just slap a leotard and high heels on Beyoncé Knowles and call it a day. That’s exactly what director Jake Nava did in the video for Beyonceé ‘s “Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It).” Beyoncé and her two choreographers, Frank Gatson and JaQuel Knight, came up with the dance routine by combining elements of an old Bob Fosse dance with something called J-Setting (a call-and-response type cheerleading dance that originated at Jackson State University in Mississippi). The three-minute video was shot in one take, with the lighting and angles changed live as Beyonceé and two other dancers swished, bounced and popped in front of a blank backdrop. It has been watched more than 128 million times on YouTube and has inspired dozens of fan videos. Sometimes, the best creations are also the simplest.

We all know that this list wouldn’t be complete without the “Single Ladies” video. Congratulations Bey!
