Pop Culture Moments You Can't Get Out of Your Head (1,089 views)

For those moments that are so iconic, you can't help but think about them every now and then. The trashiest, shadiest, most shocking or just most memorable moments from our favourite celebrities out there. Whether it's a career-defining performance, a jaw-dropping scandal, or just a singer doing some funny shit at a show or in an interview... we want to see all your favourite moments here!

I'll go first. My contribution to this will be Beyoncé performing "Diva" at a 9/11 memorial concert held by Jay-Z during one of his tours in 2009. I think this clip speaks for itself.

The "Take it to another level, no passengers on my plane" line. The plane motions that she and her dancers make with their arms. The "This is a stick-up" line repeating several times after. No words.

But it's absolutely fucking iconic.

I think about this performance at least once a week and still wonder if Beyoncé had a single thought going through her head when singing this song here. Then again, I don't imagine she would've had any better choices at the time, unless you somehow think "Single Ladies" or "Halo" would've been more suitable.

Yeah, that's ridiculously 2009. It must have worked well right there and then. But when it loses the glory of the moment it ends up seeming a bit weird. The same can be said about Michael Jackson's performance during the Motown 25 year anniversary in 1983.



The audience is at any rate totally into it  - his "diamond" suit, white glove and everything.
