She will also take questions from the crowd.

She may have donned glammed up sexy looks for last night's special, but she also did something she's never really done. Beyonce did a segment of her performances for "A Night With Beyonce", which was an hour and 15 minute special hosted by "X Factor USA" presenter Steve Jones, in the this relaxed blue pajama-like pants and blouse. She rocked 2 Ralph & Russo looks for the performances, and the designers commented on this exclusive collaboration: "Beyonce’s performances are always so incredible and spectacular that we really wanted to design something very special to reflect this. Both outfits were created especially for the evening to create a fun but edgy feel to the show."

Edit warring

At the moment there is an edit war on this article between an IP (with varying addresses) and User:Dan56. I encourage both parties to express their concerns on the talk page and try to reach agreement. I'm leaving a notice here because the IP may have no regular talk page. If the war continues with no discussion, admin action may be taken. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 04:45, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Idolator's 10 Favourite Albums of 2011 ... Made the list

'4' was picked as one of the favorite albums of 2011 by MSN.co.uk. "We weren't sure about this the first time we heard it but now it's definitely one of our favourites of the year. With a more grown up sound than we're use to, Beyoncé stayed away from the safe, familiar sounds a lot of mainstream artists are choosing at the moment, went wild with Diplo for Run the World and stamped her empowering style all over it. With ballads pulled from the core of her heart, faster tracks to evoke the good times, and some perfectly judged mid-tempo tunes, this is a wonderful coming-of-age record from mum-to-be B." - MSN.co.uk http://music.uk.msn.com/features/msn-albums-of-the-year-2011#image=3
