Beyonce took the Grammy stage last night to sing “Precious Lord, Take My Hand” which segued into John Legend andCommon’s “Glory–” the outstanding Oscar-nominated song from the movie Selma. The song was originally sang by fellow songstress Ledisi, who played Mahalia Jackson in the movie. Many people feel Ledisi was snubbed for the performance by the all-powerful Queen Bey and apparently, Beyonce made the call to shade Ledisi.
John Legend revealed to ET [corespondent Kevin Fraiser] that Beyonce approached them about singing “Precious Lord, Take My Hand.”
“You don’t say no to Beyonce,” he told Kevin.
