thank you for this post OP!! So many memories in these and I remember Jewel apparently talking about how she knew she was outdanced in the Bey performance and appreciated Bey going at half speed for her, something like that LMAO!

Lastly -

Bey didn't have to eat Celine up like this! LMAO!! Also, adjacent:

Jewel said she didn’t want to dance, but the producers basically forced her to do it, so Beyoncé helped bring it to a point she was comfortable with. Gotta ❤️ Queen Bey.

[pikapika217]

Aww, see that's solidarity

[ionadelfina]

lol why would she agree to do a Tina Turner tribute especially to that song and not be expected to dance? She sounded good though.

That Nicki and Katy duet is obviously...not great, but I do miss that era of pop music lol. Like it was mostly over by 2013, but it was fun.

Also that Jewel/Bey performance just reminds me of that Todd in the Shadows Trainwreckords episode on Jewel. She does not seem comfortable when she’s playing pop diva, and Beyoncé just is a born pop diva so seeing them next to each other is just wild

I loved Jewel’s story about her Divas performance with Beyoncé.

That Mary J./Shakira performance was...something. I’d love to hear a solo version of “Love is a Battlefield” by Mary though.

“All Alone on Christmas” is one of my favorite holiday songs and I hate that they changed the tempo for that performance.

And lastly, that Stand Up 2 Cancer performance was a train wreck lol.

some of these are disrespectful

Yup! - Sometimes when I watch performances like these I wonder, “was no one around in rehearsals to be like...yeah this ain’t working”

[hellicoptajuuce]

Maria's runs and riffs in Chain of fools are 🔥🔥🔥
