"Beyoncé out-danced, out-sang, out-blinged and out-raunched every other female pop star"

Beyonce returned to Manchester and out-danced, out-sang, out-blinged and out-raunched every other female pop star likely to play this stage

in the year ahead, or years to come.

Twelve months on from when she played the Phones 4u Arena on the opening leg of her Mrs Carter tour, she returned to pack an even stronger pop

punch with every wiggle of that famous booty.

The show is substantially changed from last time with the welcome addition of her raunched-up R'n'B grooves from the self-titled visual album she released to the surprise of everybody at Christmas.

And while it is fan favourite Run The World that opens the show, it is those new tunes that bring a vibrant new energy to proceedings, with Flawless, Yonce, Blow and Partition providing a funked up groove to her impressive armoury of mega hits.

That's not to say her hit singles don't bring this arena audience alight - hair whips and hips swivel to the likes of Baby Boy, Naughty Girl, singalongs to Irreplaceable and Love On Top, and the natural euphoric finale of Crazy in Love and Single Ladies.

Dazzling costumes change at regular intervals, from a relatively demure opening white glitzy bodysuit through to a racy gold bodice barely covering those famous curves as she romps seductively during Partition.

But Beyonce somehow always manages to ooze sophistication, even while straddling a chair, Christine Keeler style, for Drunk in Love.

She may have been late on stage on the first of two sold-out nights at the arena but the crowd aren't bothered.

"Are y'all here to party tonight?" She shouts in that sexy Texan drawl. Did she even need to ask?

The Arena is literally steaming with perspiration from 15,000 fans desperate to jiggle along with every move of their idol.

Setlist for that show:

Flawless

Yonce

Get me Bodied

Baby Boy
