Is it time for Beyonce to hang up her Superwoman cape for a few days and get some much-needed rest?
In the last four months alone, we’ve seen her perform at very high profile events like the Super Bowl and The Inauguration, release a Pepsi commercial and embark on a World Tour (in which she flew back to the States just to attend the MET Gala). In the midst of her tour, she also has performances at the BET Awards, Essence Music Fest and Made In America Fest that are already on the agenda for this year. Her schedule would make anyone’s head spin, especially a mom with a one-year-old, so it’s no wonder she had to cancel a show this week (amid all of those pesky preggo rumors—that’s another discussion.)
Beyonce hit the stage in Antwerp, Belgium last night, a day after pulling the plug on the first show there, and according to a few of our readers, she wasn’t at 100%.
We just came home from the Beyoncé concert in Antwerp, Belgium. Tonight was the second concert out of two after the first one was canceled yesterday. At first we were super excited that she was able to perform tonight and the crowd was hype in anticipation, but after the first few songs it was clear that she should have postponed this show as well. Beyonce wasn’t her usual self and started out very weakly. A couple of songs into the concert, Beyoncé herself started performing a little bit better and seemed to have more energy, but all in all the entire concert was a great disappointment.
We’re just two hard working women who paid a lot of money for tickets. On top of that we had to take time of from work to travel from Amsterdam, The Netherlands, to Antwerp, so this whole trip cost us a lot, especially in these hard economic times. We appreciate that she works really hard and always strives for perfection but tonight was a very big let down for us and I think for her as well.
During one of her breaks, Beyonce appeared on stage looking angelic in all white, and expressed that she was performing against her doctor’s orders because she didn’t want to let her fans down:
I just have to say, I feel so good to be on this stage. I have the best fans in the world. Now, my doctors told me not to perform tonight, but there was no way in the world. I just have to say that you all have given me so much inspiration and I just want to thank you guys.
Earlier that day, she also posted a handwritten note that read:
To my dearest fans in Antwerp
I’ve never postponed a show in my life. It was very hard for me. I promise I will make it up very soon. I’m sorry if I disappointed you. Thank you for your concern. I’m feeling much better now and I’m ready to give you a great show.
All my love
