To the thousands of Beyonce fans here in Liverpool who didn't get to go to her concert at Acer Arena last weekend, slap yourself.
Never mind, as the dedicated entertainment reporter for the Liverpool Champion, I took the liberty to attend the concert myself so you can all live vicariously through me for the next five minutes.
My two best friends and I had floor tickets (We brought the tickets, I didn't get them for free before you all call in asking to be my new best friend).
If you think I'm trying to make you jealous, after warming things up on stage, Jessica Maulboy told the 14,000 strong audience that she got to meet and talk to the Diva we'd all been waiting to see.
We were all burning with envy and I think this made everyone try to push closer to the stage then they already were, in hope that they'll get as close as possible to their idol.
Afraid that we wouldn't be close enough to see her and being the shorties we are, two of us wore high heels, big mistake!
Flo Rida kept the excitement happening on stage and when we couldn't wait anymore, it was time.
All fear of not being able to see her were blown away when she walked on stage.
A blind mosquito in the back of the auditorium could not miss the radiance she hailed on the stage. Her crystal encrusted bodysuit glistened in the spot light just in case.
Her hair blew evocatively wild by the wind machine, obviously to impress us. If she'd been out here before the show even started, she might have realised she didn't need to do much to get everyone screaming and wailing hysterically, we were already in awe of being in her prescence.
When Beyonce is on stage she owns it like she is the world's best female performer, whether she is or not. (And I think she is).
She smiles at you so naturally and swiftly changes to this sexy stare, either way, you can't stop looking at her.
The rnb/pop queen has been making hits for over a decade, first with destiny's child and then her booylicious miss independant reign as a solo artist.
When she first came out on stage with Crazy in Love, the audience was taken on a whirwind adventure of how she got to her world domination.
She sang hits like Baby boy, Survivor, her version of Ave Maria and the much anticipated Single Ladies.
A video was played with people from all over the world doing the Single Ladies Dance including Justin Timberlake in a leotard similar to Beyonce's. Even Barrack Obama knew the moves.
And did I mention how incredible this girl can move. Jiggling her booty, groving her body to the rhythm and stepping like a fine diva. And when she stood still to let the melody flow out softly, she captured your attention even more, with eyes wide open and focused.
In the middle of the show, Beyonce was air-lifted via harness and even then she was dancing with the wind eloquently.
She landed on a second stage where she made a boy
cry asking him what her name was a couple of times- the prelude to Say My Name.
The hankerchiefs she used to wipe the sweat and amount of energy she puts into the show were much appreciated by the audience members that caught them.
(Yes I was jealous I didn't get one, I don't care how pathetic it sounds to want someone's sweat : p).
With about six or seven costume changes from a beautiful glittering gold gown to dominatrix style mini-dress, Beyonce is a beauty queen.
Back on the front stage she performed an Etta James inspired cover of At Last with a montage of Barack and Michelle Obama's inauguration ball. Beyonce performed the song for the first couples dance.
For the finale she sang her hit Halo as a tribute to Michael Jackson, leaving many teary eyes as she waved goodbye to everyone.
And just when you thought this woman could not get any better, she jumps up high in the sky from her knees and lands upright---IN HIGH HEELS!
Now that's impressive!
It was a fantastic show- wish you were there : )
