Beyonce - Live at Wembley (DVD with Bonus CD)

Starring:BeyoncÃ©
Studio: Sony
Product Type: DVD

Amazon.com

Beyonce's London fans go crazy when the Destiny's Child beauty, on her first solo international tour, descends to a massive stage while suspended, upside down, from a wire. After a delicate landing, the star embarks on a set of recent hits immersed in complicated arrangements, including the Arabic sound of "Baby Boy" and "Naughty Girl," the chunky, hypnotic funk of "Hip Hop Star," and Beyonce: Live at Wembley's best performance, the powerful "Work It Out," in which the diva is at her clearest, jazziest, and most soulful. Not everything works. The bottom falls out of "Gift from Virgo," "Be with You" is forgettable, and Beyonce's stage patter needs polish. But a Destiny's Child medley accompanied by only a DJ is innovative and fun, "Summertime" proves a breezy dance number, and "Crazy in Love" is bolstered by what sounds like the old Stax horns. A CD featuring a few remixes is included with the DVD. --Tom Keogh

Customer Reviews:

Best Dvd Live Show EVER! .......2007-01-11

This is one of the best live DVD's I own. I picked it up at the store on a whim and from the second it began I was entranced. The dancing and singing are mindblowing from beginning to end. I don't know how she did it. She sang and sweated and danced the whole way through. Can't wait from the next one!

THIS SUCKS!.......2006-11-03

It's like Beyonce was putting on a high school show! Her voice is way to edited... Sher is using the same dance moves from her music video and she is just singing decent... She either needs to wrok on the dance or just sing! It's ashame because she has a lot of ability but I own over 300 dvds and this is by far the worst one!

Don't believe the hype.......2006-05-23

Beyonc's talented, she has a supernatural voice, but not everything is well with this chick, when she went solo she forgot that she was on Destiny's Child and she used to act like she was the one and olny. all in all, she was so selfish...
Anyway, I am not here to critizice her, I'm here to review her stuff "Beyonc: Live at Wembley" a concert taped on late 2003 at England as part of her tour. She was the 2003 artist with 3 US #1's , "Crazy in love", "Baby boy" and "Me, myself and I" and a platinum album under her belt, and her tour was succesful too.

Beyonce-Live In Wembley.......2006-04-08

I've been a huge fan of Beyonce and Destiny's Child since day ONE. So many people criticize her because she is the main focus of the group and the spotlight is constantly on her. Not to deny the talents of the other two girls in DC, but this concert DVD gives a very strong indication as to why Beyonce is the star that she is today.
There is no other contemporary female star out there that can sing like her, this girl has been gifted with such an incredible range and a beautiful voice. Her dancing has improved DRASTICALLY since the last DC world tour and she just seems more confident and exudes far more charisma than ever before.
This is a good concert dvd, Beyonce keeps the energy level high and when she does slow it down, she showcases her superb vocal abilities. The stand-out for me was her performance of "Dangerously In Love" she looked great, and she sang like she was on fire.
I would have given this DVD 5 stars but I think that she needs to work a little more on her stage presence and there is no excuse for all the lip-synching for someone as talented as her. But then again, people forget that she is not even 25 years old yet, so there is plenty of time for her to polish her act and become the great superstar she is meant to be.

Great process.......2006-03-16
