Beyonce is no longer a person. Beyond a celebrity, she is an experience. And what does that experience involve?

For the large, star-studded crowd at the Staples Center This articlearticle or section has multiple issues:

 Sunday night Sunday Night, later named Michelob Presents Night Music, was an NBC late-night television show which aired for two seasons between 1988 and 1990 as a showcase for jazz and eclectic musical artists.  for L.A.'s stop on the tour dubbed "The Beyonce Experience," it meant lots and lots of dancing (try two hours' worth). But that's not really a surprise, is it?

But noteworthy surprises were scattered throughout the show, including appearances by fellow Destiny's Child This article or section needs copy editing for grammar, style, cohesion, tone and/or spelling.

Of course, they only joined the lady of the hour (or two) for a moment to close out a lengthy D.C. medley with the song "Survivor." Then back into the trenches they went.

, you'd think the beau in question would make an appearance on at least one of the songs ... and that's exactly what he did, showing up later (better than never) in the show to grace the stage with his swagger and contribute some of his familiar lyrical stylings to the popular "Upgrade U."

And although most attendees may have forgotten by the end of the night, the sexy-but-slightly-dorky soul singer Robin Thicke gave quite a show of his own just prior to Beyonce's debut appearance on stage, quickly warming up the crowd with songs from his chart-topping album, "The Evolution of Robin Thicke."

"Tonight is a celebration of love," said the Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter, who also worked with such big names as Usher, Christina Aguilera

As for Beyonce's performance, the question wasn't so much what she performed, as what didn't she perform? The show was packed with D.C. hits to ballads and club bangers from both "Dangerously in Love" and "B'Day" (the original and deluxe edition), and let's not forget her "Dreamgirls" connection.

But if you think you'd get the same experience just popping in a CD from your "I (heart) Beyonce" collection, you should know better than to underestimate the "Queen B." Backed by her 10-piece, all-female band, her remixes, covers and some acting left attendees with plenty to recall (much to the joy/dismay of non-attendees, we're sure).

Having turned 26 just Tuesday (her D.C. girls surprised her with a cake and led the crowd in a "Happy Birthday" sing-along at show's end), "The Beyonce Experience" was one hell of a way to commemorate her B'Day (both of them).
