Get Me Bodied - Live Performances

Live Performances

Knowles first performed "Get Me Bodied" at the 2007 BET Awards on June 27, 2007. She was wearing a gold robot gear, which she whittled down to sleek gold lame pants and a matching bra top. As she continued singing, her sister-singer Solange Knowles and fellow Destiny Child member Michelle Williams appeared onstage as her back-up dancers. A few moments later, Knowles introduced Kelly Rowland to the stage to perform her solo hit "Like This" (2007) with American rapper Eve. After her performance, Knowles and Williams appeared onstage with Rowland to complete the Destiny's Child reunion. "Get Me Bodied" was a part of her set list on The Beyoncé Experience (2007) and I Am... Tour (2009–10).

On August 5, 2007, Knowles performed the song at the Madison Square Garden in Manhattan. She was sporting robot outfit similar to that she wore at the BET Awards. However this time, she was dressed in yellow and black like a bumblebee. As she started, she declared that she was the "queen bee — or Queen B." Shaheem Reid of MTV News called the performance "another roof-burner." Jon Pareles of The New York Times also complimented it, stating, "Beyoncé needs no distractions from her singing, which can be airy or brassy, tearful or vicious, rapid-fire with staccato syllables or sustained in curlicued melismas. But she was in constant motion, strutting in costumes." Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "The evening's highlights included ... a pulse-raising version of 'Get Me Bodied' ".

In Los Angeles, Knowles performed "Get Me Bodied", dressed in a golden, translucent slip and golden, sparkling panties. It was executed with several female and male backup dancers, and live instrumentation. When Knowles performed the song in Sunrise, Florida on June 29, 2009, she was wearing a glittery gold leotard. As she sang, animated graphics of turntables, faders and other club equipment were projected behind Knowles, her dancers and musicians. Knowles was accompanied by her two drummers, two keyboardists, a percussionist, a horn section, three imposing backup vocalists called the Mamas and a lead guitarist, Bibi McGill. "Get Me Bodied" was included as on her live albums The Beyoncé Experience Live (2007), and the deluxe edition I Am... World Tour (2010).

In May, 2012, Knowles performed "Get Me Bodied" during her Revel Presents: Beyoncé Live revue in Atlantic City, New Jersey, United States' entertainment resort, hotel, casino and spa, Revel. Chuck Darrow of The Philadelphia Inquirer was positive about the performance of the song during the revue, saying, "As for the music, Beyonce kept the needle in the red zone for much of the show, dealing primarily in such full-throttle, groove-intensive signature tracks as... 'Get Me Bodied'". According to Rebecca Thomas of MTV News, the performance "showed in the Fosse-style swing and formations". Brad Wete of Complex magazine wrote that Knowles was "shimmying" while performing "Get Me Bodied".
