How do you celebrate the 38th birthday of Beyoncé? Her mom, Tina Knowles-Lawson, went to Instagram on Wednesday morning to post her an endearing message alongside a picture in which she looked like siblings.
But if, like us, you don't have a photo of yourself with Queen Bey to share, we suggest watching (and turning up the volume on) Kalen Allen's “Bey-Dey: A Visual Tribute” medley.
Who is Allen from Kalen? You might acknowledge the 23-year-old comedian on The Ellen Show as a reporter, a gig he won after years of cracking fans on YouTube and just about every social media platform.
(And fun fact: He's even received a comment on his ‘gram from the one and only Oprah Winfrey.) But now, he can add Beyoncé impersonator to his resume.
In the new clip, Allen slips into bodysuit after bodysuit, switching up his wigs, shoes, and attitude, and to embody his Beyoncé. Not only is it spot-on but it’ll also make you want to listen to every single album in Beyoncé’s impressive catalog—and perhaps replicate a look or two of your own.
The mix of songs is also on-point, and includes the following hits: “Crazy in Love,” “Naughty Girl,” “Déjà vu,” Ring the Alarm,” “Schoolin’ Life,” “Single Ladies,” “Flawless,” “Formation,” “Run the World (Girls),” and “Diva,” plus tracks made with Destiny’s Child (“Say My Name”) and her husband Jay-Z (“APES**”). An Easter egg to look out for? His take on that epic 2011 performance of “Love on Top” at the MTV VMAs, where she flaunted her baby bump in a purple sequin suit and announced to the world she was expecting.
Enough talking, more singing and dancing. Watch the full video above—which was so impressive that it even earned a "Thank you" from Queen Bey herself on Facebook!
