A show that wasn't to be videotaped as the entertainer was to debut a new song definitely sparked the curiosity of the fans as photographs and ticket holders described the epic night carefully by using Twitter to send out a few pictures during the performances. With only invited guests at the private show, it appears that the fans were ready for the night to begin. Required to take their seats 30 minutes prior to show time, the entertainer hit the stage in perfect form with music and dance moves that fans enjoyed.

While Beyoncé was in Las Vegas performing, her husband hit the stage in Brooklyn. Jay-Z performed for the fans at the Barclays Center on New Year’s Eve. While there would be no kiss for the famous couple on New Year’s Eve, but their concerts definitely would help usher in 2013.
