Full Beyonce 2014 MTV VMA performance (Video)
By Mike Dyce
The 2014 MTV Video Music Awards ended with a bang when Beyonce took the stage. She performed song after song for nearly 17 minutes, but it felt like an hour and was so remarkable you almost forgot you were watching an award show and not a HBO special for her concert.
Her performance focused primarily on her newer songs and she avoided her large catalog of classics, but the singing, dancing and performance overall were fantastic. When it all came to an end, husband Jay Z and daughter Blue Ivy came on stage to give Beyonce the MTV Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award, which is a lifetime achievement award.
The performance will go down as one of, if not the best, in the history of the MTV VMAs. If you were not able to see it, take the time to watch the video below, which includes the entire performance from Beyonce on Sunday.
