Beyonce suffers a very awkward technical malfunction

In 2019, Beyonce Knowles-Carter is a musical goddess. In 2003, however, she was an up-and-comer that had a lot to prove as a solo artist away from Destiny’s Child. If her 2003 performance of Baby Boy at the 2003 MTV Europe Music Awards was any indication, it would be a bumpy ride.

Taking the stage with rapper Sean Paul, Queen Bey went through the song, until technical difficulties caused the backing vocals to loop and play again… and again… and again. A confused, embarrassed Beyonce waved to the crowd and asked them how they were doing, before walking off-stage.
