What’s up you guys, its Sussan Mourad here on Clevver News and one thing we haven’t
been able to get enough of this year is Blue Ivy Carter’s big moments, so what better time than
now to round up some of those right here, as we look forward to her bright future!
At only 8 years old, Blue Ivy has accomplished more than many adults. She’s a singer,
dancer, BET award winner, NAACP award winner,
Narrator… Ooft the list goes on, and she’s only just getting started!
Being the daughter of Beyoncé and Jay Z, Blue was always destined to be an incredible performer.
And earlier this year, we all got to see that the apple definitely doesn’t fall
far from the tree, as we got a glimpse of Blue Ivy’s incredible dancing skills
via a clip shared to social media that went viral.
The clip was shared by Blue’s long-time stylist Manuel A. Mendez (yes, of course Beyoncé’s
daughter has a stylist) which was actually from the documentary “Beyonce Making the Gift”,
but picked up a lot of traction when he posted it.
And let me just warn you, a trigger warning if you will, that watching this clip will
probably make you realise that none of us will ever be as cool as Blue Ivy.
Ok so, in the clip, Blue can be seen performing some impressive choreography
to Beyoncé's "Mood 4 Eva," which is a song from her musical project, “The Lion King: The Gift.”
Blue is rocking a sleek jumpsuit, a dark lip, and braids as she dances to her mom’s song.
Like I said, she might just be the coolest 8 year old of all time.
The clip might only be a few seconds long, but it definitely shows off both Blue’s sass
and skills. We couldn't help but notice how much Blue emulates her mom in the clip.
Everything from her dramatic arm movements to her facial expressions,
and even the hair and makeup. It was definitely a moment and I think I can speak for all of us
when I say we can’t wait to see more clips of Blue dancing and performing in 2021!
Speaking of performing, it's no secret that Blue, being the daughter of music royalty
is destined for great things when it comes to music. And this year, Blue won her first BET
Award for her contribution to the Lion King’s “Brown Skin Girl” along with Beyoncé, Wizkid,
and SAINt JHN. This isn't the only award Blue Ivy has picked up for "Brown Skin Girl" this year
(in addition to those in 2019). With the team, she also won Outstanding Duo, Group or Collaboration
at the 2020 NAACP Image Awards and Video Of The Year at The 2020 Soul Train Music Awards.
With her credits and parents to call on for mentorship, it’s pretty undeniable that she’s
going to give us a whole album at some point! And the way it’s looking, she’s set up to be
the biggest pop star on the planet in 10 years or sooner! But real talk, we would love to hear
more music from Blue in 2021 and our bet is, if it's not a solo piece, we’re almost certain Blue
will be featured in more musical work projects with Beyoncé in 2021. Just like we were blessed
with her appearances this year in the new music video for “Brown Skin Girl” and “Black Is King.”
Now one thing that probably doesn’t get talked about enough, so I’m here to do the honors,
is Blue Ivy’s sense of humor! This year we were blessed with more than one clip where Blue’s sense
of humor had us all LOLing and repeating “we are not worthy” of this content. Because 1. Blue is
sassy and witty, and we love to see it; and 2. Because she single-handedly reminded us, that to
us, Beyoncé is a Queen, but to her, well... she’s just “mom”, guilty of all the mom-like things.
Some of the comical viral moments that come to mind… earlier this year on Mother’s Day, although
Blue didn’t physically make an appearance, her BTS commentary in a clip posted by her grandma
Tina Lawson was all that was needed to tell us who REALLY runs their household… I mean world!
“Happy Mother’s Day… Happy Mother's Day to all of the beautiful mothers out there…
And don't forget all the beautiful daughters out there... which I am one of them."
Yes you are, Blue! And like, DUH, how could we forget the fact that Mother’s Day would
not even be possible for Beyoncé had it not been for Blue Ivy (and her other siblings of course)?!
But there was another HILARIOUS Blue moment that went viral on social media this year that
literally, I’ve lost count how many times I’ve seen it. You might recall - or more like,
how could you forget - when Beyoncé attempted to tell a corny joke for
her mother Tina Knowles’ charity art gala, during the Celebrity Corny Jokes segment.
Blue was quick to put Beyoncé in her place and call her out for the failed attempt.
While making an appearance during the virtual function, Beyoncé went for a casual,
makeup-free look and attempted to make a joke about Snoop Dogg…
buuuut according to Blue Ivy, it was going to be “a no for her''. Pleaseee take a look!
“Why does Snoop Dogg need an
umbrella?” “No… that voice?” “For drizzle!” “Mom, the voice… no.” “For drizzle…” “No! No!”
Like I said, we are not worthy!! And look, all I’m gonna say is I’m manifesting more
content like this from Blue in 2021! Better yet, maybe Blue could start her own YouTube channel
(under the supervision of her parents ofcourse)? Because I know I’m not alone when I say we
love seeing candid content like this that features Blue and her witty sense of humor!
And finally, I can’t not mention Blue Ivy doing her part to help us prevent
the spread of coronavirus with her adorable, and extremely eloquent,
intelligent and well put together science experiment. Blue literally blew us all away
with her breakdown of the importance of washing our hands using a bowl of water,
pepper, and soap to demonstrate how effective hand soap is against the virus,
via a clip shared again, by doting grandmother, Tina Knowles. OK, enough of me talking about it,
take a look because it doesn’t get old - nor does the reminder to wash your hands!
“So you’re going to want to stick your finger inside the mixture of soaps,
make sure you get a lot on there. Then… put your finger in it,
and the virus goes out. This is why it’s very important to wash your hands.”
Blue continued to say QUOTE, “This is why it’s very important to wash your hands, because if you
wash your hands, your hands will stay clean. But if you keep your hands dirty, you might get sick.”
I mean, simple but powerful advice, am I right? And who knows, Blue could decide
to become a scientist one day, if she wanted to of course. But above all else,
I think this video shows how great Blue is at explaining important messages and having
a major influence on not only children her age, but adults too. So here’s to
more powerful and useful PSAs from Blue in the near future on topics she cares about!
Of course these are just some of Blue’s major and most viral moments this year,
we couldn’t cover all of them. THANK YOU Blue Ivy Carter for
gifting us with some much-needed magic this year - bring on 2021.
