Beyonce Michael Jackson Tribute (Video, Photos)

Here is the Beyonce Michael Jackson Tribute video, her performance on July 3, 2009 at the Essence Music Festival in New Orleans, Louisiana. She also performed the tribute on July 1, 2009 in Atlanta, Georgia. See both videos below.

The music superstar paid tribute to the King of Pop by performing a special version of her hit single Halo, prefaced by showing on a large screen a home movie of herself sharing her enthusiasm after attending a MJ concert when she was five years old.

She is heard saying to the audience in the Beyonce Michael Jackson tribute video: “That was the night I saw my hero perform for the first time. When I left the show, I said, ‘Mommy, I wanna be just like him,’” she told the crowd. “We miss you. We love you. And we thank you for all the memories, Michael Jackson.”

She then proceeded to sing Halo with altered lyrics, in tribute to the King of Pop: “Michael I can see your Halo.”

Halo is a single from the 10-time Grammy winner’s double-platinum third studio album, I Am…Sasha Fierce. She is presently on the Beyonce I Am World Tour in support of the album.
