Dazzling: Beyonce once stage in Glasgow
Beyonce doesn't do things by halves.

It was a special night to see the songstress as she performed tracks from her new album - Beyonce - for the first time ever. The superstar's secret seven-hour all night rehearsal on Monday clearly paid off as the show was tightly produced, slickly delivered and dazzling to the extreme.
The majority of the venue's capacity was taken up with girls emulating aspects of Beyonce's signature glam style - whether it be sequins, big hair or high heels, their excitement adding to the electric atmosphere.

There are added visuals to the tour overloading the senses with multiple video screens, light shows, pyrotechnics and a killer speaker system. After the polished segment she caught her breath to tell the crowd: "I'm so happy because that was the first time we've performed some of those songs.
