Beyoncé to Perform at 2011 BET Awards

The R&B diva is added to the star-studded lineup of talent.

And the night just keeps getting better! Beyoncé has just been added as a performer for this year's 2011 BET Awards. She joins the already stellar lineup, which includes Chris Brown, Jill Scott, Alicia Keys, Lil Wayne and Drake. With her high-energy dance moves and impressive vocal range, Beyoncé is sure to once again make history.

Never one to disappoint, Beyoncé knows how to heat things up at the BET Awards. Her solo performances date all the way back to 2003, when she and Jay-Z did their classic "Crazy in Love." Then, in 2006, Bey worked the floor like no other when she (with a little help from Hov) introduced fans to her smash hit "Deja Vu." And who could forget the futuristic outfit she rocked in 2007 for her amazing performance of "Get Me Bodied." Even when she just uses her vocals, as she did in 2009 when she sang her version of "Ave Maria," Beyoncé knows how to bring the crowd to its feet.

So, with Beyoncé now on the ticket, the 2011 BET Awards show is even more guaranteed to be a night to remember. Be sure to tune in to the BET Awards when it airs live on Sunday, June 26, at 8P/7C!
