It'd be :udontlookok: If Bey did "Proud Mary". Considering she's done it too many times. If She does tribute Tina I hope she does something ELSE.
Edit: who the fuck am I kidding. I'd still love if she did PM
Again?
:ummwhat:
Didn't they just do this at the 2008 grammys?
:uhh:

Her voice is pretty similar to hers actually. Not familiar with her discography but I?m sure she could find something to fit.
