//Live Performance Goodness: Beyonce Performs Tribute To Michael Jackson In Philadelphia//

If you’ve followed Beyonce’s career over the last 12 years, then you’re more than aware of the influence the late Michael Jackson has had on her and former group Destiny’s Child. She’s also had the lucky of meeting and working with him. In 2001, the trio performed their hit “Bootylicious” for the King of Pop at Madison Square Garden. In 2006, a nervous Beyonce presented MJ with the Diamond Award at the World Music Awards. She also got to sing on the same song with him on the benefit single “What More Can I Give.”

Last night at her show in Philadelphia, Beyonce did her best to remember her “hero” by performing his smooth groove “I Can’t Help It.” “If you’re a fan of mine, you know the reason I’m here is because of Michael Jackson,” she told the crowd who cheered in agreement. “We all know Michael was magical. Nobody could dance like him–nobody will ever be like Michael Jackson.”

Bey did the song more than a little justice with her heartfelt rendition. Toward the end she leads the crowd in shouting “I love you, Michael. Thank you, Michael.”

Thank you, Michael, indeed. And thank you, Beyonce, for the great tribute.

    She had no business doing any tribute to him at this concert or at BET. She talked shit about his family months ago and didn’t apologize for it either, instead she got her ugly retarded sister to back her up. She is such a media whore, and I cant wait until the fake ass bitch is exposed for the fraud that she is. And her and Jay Z were shit. Its too bad that they got Chris Brown snubbed from performing. He was a friend of Michael and would have done an amazing tribute. But as always Beyonce had to make it about herself. Greedy Bitch.

    RIP Michael.
