Charlotte Crowd Has the BEST Mute Moment For Beyonce Tour
Now, if you are a true fan of Beyonce then you know during this tour there is one big moment the crowd waits for. Yes, it’s the MUTE moment. The biggest moment of the night that everyone is hoping their section knows what to do. During the Beyonce Renaissance Tour, while performing Energy from her latest album, she tests her crowds to see how long they can hold the mute. There should be complete silence in the stadium when she says it.
So, how did Charlotte do? I think it’s safe to say Charlotte did the best. Actually, not only did we say it – but Beyonce sort of said it as well. She posted to her Beyonce.com website, “Number 1, 1 of 1, Only 1 Charlotte, NC :)” That’s right, Charlotte KILLED the mute part. There were a few sections, that will remain nameless, that did some giggling. But, we aren’t going to talk about it. Wondering how Charlotte did? Check out this video below our Digital Director captured of the crowd during that epic moment.
Beyoncé: 5 Destiny's Child Songs We Want Her To Perform On The 'Renaissance Tour'
Beyoncé embarked on her Renaissance World Tour in May with dates in France, England, Germany, and more. Days after her tour announcement, she became the most awarded artist in Grammy history when she won the Best Dance/Electronic Music Album Grammy for Renaissance. She took home four trophies that night as she accepted awards for Best Traditional R&B Performance for “Plastic Off The Sofa,” Best R&B Song for “Cuff It,” and Best Dance/Electronic Recording for “Break My Soul.”

“I want to thank God for protecting me. Thank you, God. I’d like to thank my Uncle Johnny who’s not here, but he’s here in spirit.” Beyoncé continued, “I’d like to thank my parents, my father, my mother for loving me and pushing me. I’d like to thank my beautiful husband, my beautiful three Children who are at home watching. I’d like to thank the queer community for your love and for inventing this genre. God bless you. Thank you so much to the Grammys. Thank you.”
However, before there was Renaissance, before she was a solo superstar, she was the lead vocalist for one of the most influential girl’s groups of all time, Destiny’s Child. The final lineup of the group consisted of Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams. Beyoncé and Rowland were the only members throughout the entirety of the group’s history. LeToya Luckett, Farrah Franklin, LaTavia Roberson, parted ways with the group in the early years.
The group originated under the name Girl’s Tyme with Beyoncé, Rowland, Roberson, and Luckett in 1990. They later changed their name to Destiny’s Child in 1997 when they were signed to Columbia Records. The group split after the final three members ventured out onto solo careers.
Destiny’s Child was nominated for nine Grammy awards and won two in the group’s history and went on to influence the current sound of R&B and Pop genres today.
Take a look at five songs that should add to her Renaissance Tour:
"Say My Name" 'The Writing's on the Wall' (1999)
“Say My Name” is a Destiny’s Child classic and all OG Destiny’s Child fans would love to here Beyoncé perform it on tour. The song won a Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals and Best R&B Song in 2001. The song is from the group’s 1999 album The Writing’s on the Wall.
"Solider" 'Destiny Fulfilled' (2004)
“Solider” would be a great addition to the set list as Beyoncé has already displayed that she has an army-inspired custom IVY Park outfit for the tour. This record is from the group’s final album Destiny Fulfilled which was released in 2004. The song features rappers T.I. and Lil Wayne. The record was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Melodic Rap Performance in 2006.
"Bootylicious" 'Survivor' (2001)
Imagine a mash-up of “Thique” and “Bootylicious,” an absolute dream. “Bootylicious” is on the group’s 2001 album Survivor. A remix of the song with Missy Elliott is featured in the 2001 musical film drama Carmen: A Hip Hopera which Beyoncé stars in.
"Cater 2 U" 'Destiny Fulfilled' (2004)
We could definitely see a “Cater 2 U” being performed before or after “Plastic Off The Sofa.” The song is found on Destiny Fulfilled which was released in 2004. The song was nominated for Best R&B Song and Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals in 2006.
"Bills Bills Bills"
Well, since Beyoncé told us to quit our jobs on “Break My Soul” she can at least perform “Bills Bills Bills” because someone has to pay them, right? “Bills Bills Bills” is from Destiny Child’s second studio album The Writing’s on the Wall. The song was the group’s first No. 1 hit.
