Beyonce Knowles

Beyonce made an appearance on MTV TRL on October 14, 2008 and premiered her two new videos “If I Were A Boy” and “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It),” the first and second singles from her highly anticipated third studio album, I Am… set for release on November 18, 2008.

In addition to discussing the new songs and her upcoming album.–”I recorded over 70 songs, and I took a lot of time and made sure it was something that would last forever, something that never goes out”–Beyonce announced that she will be performing on the show’s last episode, Total Finale Live, on November 16, 2008 at 8 p.m. Eastern Time.

[Beyonce] said she owes a lot to the video-countdown show, which debuted back in 1998.

“I can remember being 16 or 17 when they asked us to be on the show, and it was our big moment,” she told host Damien Fahey. Although she looks back on the memory fondly, she admits that seeing a teen version of herself was weird. “It’s not cool to document your moments at 17,” she joked.

Tuesday’s episode was dedicated to counting down Beyoncé’s greatest video achievements. Even the pop star said it was crazy to see how far she’s come over the last decade. “I mean, I dreamed [I would have this kind of success], but I never thought it would be a reality,” the former Destiny’s Child frontwoman said on the show.
