friday here's the always lovely beyonce how you doing how wonderful how are you
i'm okay my friend ten grammy awards that's just remarkable i know and it's
so funny because back when when i won the majority i had no idea what was going on
it went by so fast i didn't realize what an amazing accomplishment it was that day and you're
still you're still just a kid and you started out very young and you still got a huge career
ahead of you and those are beautiful earrings thank you and i just you know for a second
for a second i said to myself are those grammy awards but they're
could that be something oh please stop it uh well tell me about your your big year uh that you get
the upcoming tour tell me about this tour who can who can go on a tour like this it's a hundred and
five hundred and two dates or something within 15 days 115 dates and how long will that take
it takes about seven months well right now in seven months i do a lot of shows back to back
maybe four shows and then the day off because i like to go home in between so um i'd rather just
kind of do all the shows together and then where does the tour begin um it starts in europe and
then i come on father's day to america i start off in new york city madison square garden and then
and then i go i go to japan and i go to ethiopia and i go all around the world
and it's so interesting to see the difference in the in the crowds especially over in japan
and no one told me the first time i performed there that everyone is so polite and whenever
you speak or sing no one really moves so the whole time i'm thinking wow i must really really suck
that's crazy uh i i'm just pondering uh i mean just listening to you describe this itinerary
and it's only a partial itinerary is exhausting to me it just must knock you down doesn't it
i mean i i do work very hard and i do get really tired but when i'm home
i'm so lazy i mean i literally drop my shoes there i i can't cook i i'm the worst
house i'm the worst anything to do with cleaning cooking anything domestic i'm just really bad at
it yeah i have time i i'll figure it out i'm sure you've got other things other priorities right now
would you consider taking japan off the list i mean if they're if they're just gonna
if they're just gonna stand there for heaven's sakes you don't need that do you oh well i
think there will be i mean i gotta do japan i have some great fans out there
tell me about working in front of the uh the president the inauguration and uh that must have
been thrilling oh my god it's i think the best moment of my career absolutely i was so nervous
and so honored to be there and i it was really difficult to keep from from bursting into tears
it was really a moment and i've never watched so many i've never watched one of my performances
so many times i literally wanted to just repeat it over and over again absolutely
yeah and so so the uh you're there what was the show who was uh on the show what was the
feeling i mean was it when you you go there you have an idea what it's gonna be like completely
different than what you anticipated yes i mean it was the neighborhood ball and he wanted to
invite everyone from the neighborhood and every celebration yeah mary j blige jay performed
how did that go was was he nervous about that well no i don't think so but you know the next day
the next day he performed for everyone that campaigned for obama and they told him it was just
going to be a regular show and he you know we were in our hip-hop clothes and we got there everyone
they were in tucks so he's like okay maybe i shouldn't do 99 problems but a [ __ ] ain't one
and we found out
so he changed it to 99 problems but bush ain't won quick thinking and it was great
i uh i'm wearing my hip-hop clothes right now
so am
oh boy
tell me about your uh your sister is younger than you are isn't she yes i think she's been
on this show as a matter of fact yes i saw her on the show she's like your kids sister how
much younger is she she's five years but i'm very protective and i always treated her like my baby
and and one day she told us this little bully this little guy in school she was only about nine
was really harassing her so me and my girls all showed up
and we we surrounded him and we're like you've been messing with my sister i'm telling you
you've been warned and tell them destiny's child is warning you so we were real gangsta
but now we get we get along very well and even though it's hard to get in touch with her because
all she does is twitters oh twitter yes yes she's a twitterer and and that's the only way i can get
in contact with her i literally had to call my cousin and have her twitter her because i refuse
even though now she's starting to campaign for me to to join the twitter family you don't you don't
twitter no i pick up the phone yeah yeah that's awesome to me the phone just seems to be fine
here i guess this is what we were talking about that's the inauguration am i right there

that you were able to relive that and over and over again and what a
great night for well everyone really in the world when you think about it and then this

a little creepy in the movie yes she is and and gets creepier as the movie goes on don't you think
