    Even Jay is smart enough not to have Beyonce try to sing live, so he got a real artist, not performer, but an artist in Alicia Keys to sing at Yankee Stadium "LIVE" go Jay Z! Jay send Beyonce to school, so she get her High School Diploma, they'll give her one, as long as she shows up. The Dale Carnegie, he will teach her public speaking!!
