I remember a few years ago looking at all of the amazing icons that emerged in the second half of last century like Cher, Tina, Bette, Michael Jackson & Madonna. I remember thinking how amazing they were and that there has not been anyone in recent time to even come close to that… Until, that is, Beyonce. To me, Beyonce is the only real icon of the 21st Century. Her music, film clips, style, choreography, make-up… everything is just so brilliant. It is so much more than a good team around an average artist. She has an amazing team I am sure, but I think it really comes down to Beyonce’s talent as a performer. Her vocals, dance and performance are just sublime.

You can always be sure you will be blown away when Beyonce is performing at an award ceremony. Her unique concepts and production are always stella. Check out this video of B with X-Factor singer Alexandra. So cool. Such a buzz.
