There is not a dry eye in the audience as Beyonce personalizes the lyrics for the weeping little girl.

The video clip of the tribute has swept around the world, boosting Beyonce’s popularity and making the girl from Newcastle an instant star. Yesterday Chelsea channelled the energy and girl power of Beyonce with a performance of her own at a children’s hospital. Singing her own version of Halo, Chelsea strutted her stuff at the John Hunter Hospital in Newcastle. “I sang a couple of other songs from Beyonce,” she said. “I’ve been doing it since I was four.” Just like the real star, Chelsea was swarmed by her fans, who wanted to know what it was like to be on stage with an international pop star. But had it not been for a kind-hearted stranger who met the little girl at the Ronald McDonald House at Randwick, the memorable moment would never have occurred. Chelsea won over a volunteer cleaner at the kids’ charity house and was offered a gold reserve ticket. The pop star’s management moved Chelsea closer to the stage. “The first I knew of it was at 1am when Chelsea was screaming and crying telling me she had been on stage with Beyonce,” said her mother Donna James. Chelsea’s brothers Ryan and Beau and sister Jasmine have been unable to watch the clip as the family has been saving for a computer. Beyonce is also scheduled to perform in Malaysia.The second time may be the charm for fans of BeyoncĂ©, below, in Malaysia. Two years after canceling a show in that predominantly Muslim country, she said she would perform in Kuala Lumpur on Oct. 25, The Associated Press reported. BeyoncĂ© canceled her 2007 concert after the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party and other groups threatened protests over her provocative clothing and image. On Sunday Sabki Yusof of the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party said that his organization would send a protest note to the government over the concert. “We are not against entertainment as long as it is within the framework of our culture and our religion,” Mr. Sabki said. “We are against Western sexy performances. We don’t think our people need that.” Artists like Avril Lavigne, Gwen Stefani and most recently the Black Eyed Peas have faced similar resistance in Malaysia. Muslims there were initially banned from attending the Black Eyed Peas concert, scheduled for this Friday, because it was sponsored by a beer company. The government has since reversed that ban.
