The Beygency can take tonight off. MTV's VMAs honored Beyonc with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award, and she performed a 17-minute medley of her self-titled album to celebrate the achievement . "MTV, welcome to my world," she told viewers and rapt audience members.

She started with "Mine," and moved into "Haunted," before singing verses from songs including "Drunk In Love," "Partition," "Flawless" and "XO."
