Beyoncé dazzles on the first night of her sell-out run at the Roseland Ballroom in New York

She sold out one night at the 2,500 capacity venue in just 22 seconds last week and last night Beyoncé performed the first of four sell-out gigs at the Roseland Ballroom in New York.

The superstar singer dazzled as she graced the stage to perform tracks from her number one album 4 on the same day her husband Jay-Z called her the 'second coming of Michael Jackson'.

Beyoncé looked fab as she strutted around on the stage in a slinky gold number to run through a selection of songs at the intimate gig.


Fans packed themselves into the downtown venue watching eagerly as their idol performed her album tracks with the vigour and panache that has made her one of the world's biggest stars.

The star's sparkling gold dress came courtesy of her mother Tina Knowles, while she wore shoes by Stuart Weitzman.

Much of the music at the intimate gig came from Beyoncé's chart-topping 4 – with a few prior hits thrown in for good measure.

A sea of mobile phones and cameras recorded constantly as she powered through the likes of Countdown, Love On Top, End Of Time, I Care, Rather Die Young, Party and I Miss You, penned by Frank Ocean of hip-hop collective OFWGKTA.


One fan managed to film almost the entire gig, uploading multiple videos to YouTube within hours of the end of the show.

Last night's gig was the first of four to be held at the Roseland Ballroom, all of which sold out on the very first day they were made available.

Meanwhile Beyoncé's rapper husband has said she's the 'second coming of Michael Jackson' - comparing her work ethic to that of the late King Of Pop.


In an interview with Miami radio station 99 Jamz he was asked what he's learned from his famous wife.

The rapper said: 'What I learned from her is what I learned from Mike, and I know that's blasphemy to compare the two because Mike was such an innovator but it's like the second coming.

'For the hard work and the dedication that she puts into her shows - it just makes you want to work harder at your craft, she's like a machine.'

The rap mogul, 41, also promised he would break the record for the most number of champagne bottles 'popped' at the city's famous Liv nightclub.

Concert Review: Beyoncé Reigns at Roseland Ballroom

“Tonight, I want to tell you guys my story,” Beyoncé divulged to a sold-out crowd at New York’s Roseland Ballroom last night. The 90-minute, guest-free show, the first of four this week, found the 29-year-old diva splitting the difference between hushed torch singer and stadium belter, running through a 30-minute revue of her greatest hits before performing virtually all of 4, her latest album released earlier this year.

For a singer long accustomed to stadiums, Sunday’s show was the most intimate performance most fans would see from the ubiquitous superstar. Backed by a 20-piece, all-female orchestra, including a conducted string sextet, three-piece horn section, three backup singers, and a harpist, the singer devoted the first third of the show to a “VH1 Storytellers”-type greatest hits showcase-cum-history lesson. If you didn’t know Beyoncé’s biography before—auditions with Destiny’s Child starting at age nine, her father’s early and frequent involvement managing his daughter’s career, getting dropped by Elektra, etc.—she laid bare her entire musical history starting with a Michael Jackson obsession at age five. Opening with Jackson’s “I Wanna Be Where You Are,” the singer interspersed minute-long snippets of her greatest hits both solo and with Destiny’s Child, stopping each track to discuss her life and mindset during each stage of her career.

After recalling her father’s interrupting of an audition for numerous labels because “they’re not ready yet,” B talked about entering the studio by herself at 18, hearing Stevie Nicks’ guitar riff for “Edge of Seventeen” that would inspire “Bootylicious,” and how the last years of Destiny’s Child were a “reality show like ‘Survivor.’” “It was trying to figure out which member would be the last one on the island,” explained the singer.

The medley combined the quick blasts of a Las Vegas revue with the emotional candor of a singer-songwriter performing to a near-empty room. It was an odd, yet effective juxtaposition; a global superstar who could effortlessly shuffle between slick, bombastic R&B and awkwardly honest confessions of a tumultuous career. By the end of the set though, humility, as one expects from a singer with 16 Grammy awards and more than 75 million records sold worldwide, turned to sly confidence. “[The label] told me I didn’t have one hit song on my album,” she said of her 2003 debut Dangerously in Love. “I guess they were kinda right. I had five.” With the exception of a slowed-down, jazzier version of “Crazy in Love,” the orchestra augmented rather than transformed the tracks, as if deviating too much from the recorded versions would violate the victory lap feel of the show.

“1+1,” the opening song on 4, found Beyoncé kneeling atop a piano, her coy, torch singer poses bumping up against wind machines, and spotlights beaming from above the singer’s head. The contradiction was emblematic of the set, as the deservedly entitled diva shared space with her populist alter-ego. For every fog machine, there was a 3,000-person sing-along; for every extravagant light number, there was a heartfelt emotional moment. Tonight was Beyoncé being all things to all people without pandering or condescension.

Performing the album virtually front to back (“Start Over” was curiously left off Sunday’s setlist), the singer displayed both the stamina and vigor that makes for stadium-perfect shows. “End of Time” and “Run the World (Girls)” utilized flamboyant light displays to bring elaborate routines to a smaller stage, though most of the time, Beyoncé viewed the reduced space as advantageous over limiting. B ended the last song—the self-empowering ballad “I Was Here”—with “Roseland, we were here.” In less confident hands, the line would’ve come off as hokey. For Beyoncé, it was the recognition of a singular event before returning to the stadium.
