Keeping in stride with recapping some of the best and worst moments of the Video Music Awards, which are schedule to take place on September 7th. This week's past attack clip comes from superstar Beyonce's spectular performance at the 2006 ceremony. When I first heard 'Ring the Alarm', like the majority of 'B'Day', I thought it was just average and nothing more. The Rihanna and Jay-Z controversy helped a lot of fans embrace the song, but for me personally, this performance right here sold the song.
What makes Beyonce standout amongst the crowded music industry? Ashanti, Alicia, and even Rihanna, are all just as gorgeous and lets be honest B definitely doesn't make music that's much better than any of them, so why does she stand out? The answer is Beyonce is a born performer and she has the ability to make you like a song by the visual she gives you when she performs it, 'Deja Vu', 'Ring the Alarm', and a lot of other B numbers were all ordinary, but the singer's performances made up for that.
Back to the subject, this performance was a clear knock off of an earlier Britney performance and the breakdown was definitely something Janet has done before, but Beyonce's fiery energy and drive sells this as a original. They always say if you're going to do something that's been done before, at least do it as good or better, and Beyonce definitely matched that statement.
