Background and development

Main article: I Am... Yours
Beyoncé covered "I Wanna Be Where You Are" by Michael Jackson (pictured) during the revue.

Between July 30–August 2, 2009, Beyoncé had a revue titled I Am... Yours at the Encore Theater in Wynn Las Vegas during a stint on her worldwide I Am... World Tour (2009–2010). Her performance was backed by her all-female band Suga Mama and an orchestra.[1] The show was choreographed by Beyoncé and Frank Gatson Jr.[2] Regarding her I Am... Yours revue, Beyoncé said: "I've always wanted to perform in Las Vegas, I've always wanted to do my own show there, because a lot of the icons that I look up to had amazing shows in Las Vegas. I thought if I'm going to have my own Las Vegas show, it has to be right and it has to have heart and soul and it has to be something memorable... My whole objective here is for people to see what they don't get to see. Just give me my band, give me a stage, some cool smoke and lights and you see the sweat, you see the pain, you see the love, you see the soul and it's about music."[3]

According to Beyoncé's father and then-manager, Music World Entertainment president and CEO Mathew Knowles, the decision to release I Am... Yours: An Intimate Performance at Wynn Las Vegas was prompted by the way the music was presented in the digital world and because "the live experience is becoming more important".[4] He added that the live performances show the ability of the artists to entertain live, something that, according to him, "Beyoncé has proven [...] time after time".[4] The film was directed by Nick Wickham and produced by Emer Patten.[5] It was filmed by Ed Burke and executively produced by Beyoncé, Mathew Knowles and Sheira Rees-Davies.[1][5][6]

Film synopsis

The show begins with a narrator introducing Beyoncé to the audience. She appears from the back of the theater performing "Hello".[7] She greets the audience and makes her way towards the stage as she continues to perform. At the stage, Beyoncé sings "Halo". Next, she performs "Irreplaceable" and interacts with the audience.[7] She later moves into an acoustic medley, performing a down-tempo version of "Sweet Dreams",[8] "Dangerously in Love 2" and "Sweet Love" (originally recorded by Anita Baker).[7] The medley leads into "If I Were a Boy" (which contains excerpts from "You Oughta Know", originally recorded by Alanis Morissette) and "Scared of Lonely". The show continues with a performance of "That's Why You're Beautiful", intertwined with excerpts from "The Beautiful Ones" (originally recorded by Prince), "Satellites" and "Resentment". The first act concludes with Beyoncé performing a jazz-fused version of "Déjà Vu". Before the next act begins, three dancers appear and perform a tap sequence called "Bebop".[9]

Beyoncé begins the second act by telling the story of her career, starting from when she was nine years old to her third studio album I Am... Sasha Fierce (2008). Beyoncé highlights one of the first songs she remembers learning was Michael Jackson's "I Wanna Be Where You Are".[7] She continues with a medley of Destiny's Child's hit songs, including "No No No", "Bug a Boo", "Bills, Bills, Bills", and "Say My Name" whilst in between the songs, she talks about the story behind them. The medley leads into "Work It Out" and "'03 Bonnie & Clyde, as she begins to talk about the start her solo career. As the set continues, Beyoncé explains how her record company felt her debut album did not have one hit song, to which she sarcastically remarks: "I guess they were kinda right... I had five."[7] Beyoncé goes on to perform "Crazy in Love" (reminiscent of "Proud Mary" by Tina Turner), "Naughty Girl" and "Get Me Bodied". As the show draws to a close, Beyoncé performs "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)"; she then exits the stage after thanking the audience for their presence.[9]

I Am... Yours was filmed at the Encore Theater in Wynn Las Vegas.

After Beyoncé finished her I Am...

Yours: An Intimate Performance at Wynn Las Vegas.[12][13] The DVD features performances from the I Am... Yours revue containing performances of over thirty songs, including Beyoncé's solo material as well as her recordings with the girl group Destiny's Child.[12][13] Exclusive behind-the-scenes footage was also placed on the album;[12][13][14] part of which was later added on Beyoncé's sixth video album Live at Roseland: Elements of 4 (2011).[15]

Yours at 9 p.m.[3][12][16] A one-minute trailer of the special was posted online on November 12, 2009;[17][18] it showed Beyoncé during her I Am...

Critical reception

Tanya Remekie of Rap-Up felt that the album contains a "show-stopping event as Sasha Fierce and Bey[oncé] come out to play".[7] She finished her review by writing that the "Broadway-fashioned narration of her life story, told through song and dance.. shares her magical story."[7] During a review of the album, the writers of People magazine rated it with three-and-a-half out of four stars and wrote that it "offers nicely subdued versions of her hits", further describing the show as a "magic".[34] Another writer of the same publication praised the album, writing that "You'll get to know Beyoncé like never before".[36] Similarly, a writer of Eye Weekly called the album "extraordinary", before adding that it is "the chance to experience her (Beyoncé) up close and personal".[37] A writer of Us Weekly said that to see Beyoncé's "fiereceness", people should listen to her album I Am... Sasha Fierce or buy the DVD I Am... Yours: An Intimate Performance at Wynn Las Vegas to see the live experience.[38] AllMusic's Andy Kellman awarded I Am... Yours: An Intimate Performance at Wynn Las Vegas a rating of four out of five stars, describing it as a "theatrical production worthy of Vegas, with Beyoncé and her large backing band energetically rolling [through Beyoncé's songs]".[31] He noted that "what makes I Am...Yours stand apart from a typical live-album cash-in is the mostly unexpected covers that are weaved into the set."[31] Kellman finished his review by writing, "As live albums go, this is not quite destined to be one of those all-time classics; a couple missing songs and a little too much talk aside, however, the fans couldn't ask for more."[31]

Ed Masley of The Arizona Republic praised the intimacy of the concert and the acoustic versions of the songs.[39] A writer of The Boston Globe also gave I Am... Yours: An Intimate Performance at Wynn Las Vegas a positive review, comparing it with Sin City. He commended the jazz interlude, the acoustic rearrangements of the songs, and the "charming B[eyoncé] telling her life story in [the] song[s]".[40] Darryl Sterdan of the website Jam! also compared the album with Sin City and commented: "Only Beyoncé would think an 'intimate' theatre gig should include her massive all-girl band, an orchestra, lasers, dancers, costume changes and a wind machine to keep her hair blowing majestically. And only Beyoncé could pull it all together as superbly as she does in this 98-minute... show".[33] Grading I Am... Yours: An Intimate Performance at Wynn Las Vegas with an A− and calling it the "best live concert film of the year", David Burger of The Salt Lake Tribune concluded, "Instead of a traditional retread of her hits, she narrates and emotionally sings her way through a souful musical journey that takes her from her first audition song to the mega-hits she unleashed this past year... This is a thrilling tour de force."[35]

Likewise, Mike Diver of BBC Online reviewed the album positively, praising the narrating story of the performances, calling it "polished, [and] professional".[32] Diver further noted that Beyoncé's vocals "peak and dip, tremble and roar, mercifully without ever hitting Mariah Carey levels of skull-rattling intensity".[32] He added that the album would look predictable because it was an "entirely second-guessable affair with each movement telegraphed and every realigned arrangement (bombast turned down, jazz and funk switched up) meeting the listener's expectations head on".[32] The Huffington Post's Mike Ragogna compared Beyoncé with Diana Ross during the concert, adding, "Beyoncé's I Am...Yours is a satisfying decade-and-then-some retrospective that reveals the artist's interesting back story with a personal warmth".[1] Nate Chinen of The New York Times noted that the album documents a smaller show than the other ones Beyoncé usually makes. He further stated, "But the stagecraft — wind machines, lasers, arena lighting — keeps a viewer at a worshipful remove... Of course Beyoncé has always fared better with declaration than with disclosure, framing her sentiments as actions. Still, the old-fashioned extravagance of this production... feels like some kind of honesty: it's a sincere gesture from a show-business savant."[2]

Before the release of I Am... Yours: An Intimate Performance at Wynn Las Vegas, Rap-Up listed it as one of the "most notable releases" for the fall of 2009.[41] Likewise, MTV News placed the album on its list of "Holiday Album Preview".[42] USA Today's Mike Snider also mentioned it on his list of "Music-video DVDs that make worthy gifts this season" comparing its acoustic style to the VH1 Storytellers series.[43] Jay Lustig of New Jersey On-Line listed I Am... Yours: An Intimate Performance at Wynn Las Vegas in two of his lists of most notable albums in the fourth quarter of 2009.[44][45] Mark Edward Nero of the website About.com put it in his list of "2009 Holiday Gift Guide for R&B Fans".[46] The live performance of "Halo", which is featured on the album, was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards (2011).[47][48] The live recording peaked at number fifty-eight on the Canadian Hot 100.[49][50] On The Village Voice's 2009 Pazz & Jop albums list, the album was ranked at number one-thousand-six-hundred-and-forty-three.[51]
