Beyonce Knowles' family members have put together a playlist to celebrate the singer's 34th birthday on Friday, September 4. Her husband Jay-Z, their daugher Blue Ivy and more picked one special song each and dedicated it to the birthday girl.
Hov chose Coldplay's "Yellow" and explained why it's special for him in a message on Bey's official website. "This song reminds me of you and I on vacation," he said. " 'Look at the stars, look how they shine for you.' So many legendary nights. It represents vulnerability; it's us in our own world, away from work and totally lost in love. 'For you I'll bleed myself dry.' "
Blue Ivy dedicated Jodi Benson's "Part of Your World" from Disney's "The Little Mermaid". According to the little girl, her mom "sung this to me all the time." She also adorably wished her mother a happy birthday.
Other family members who contributed to the playlist include Bey's mom Tina Knowles ("Home" by Stephanie Mills), dad Mathew Knowles ("Here I Go Again" by Smokey Robinson), sister Solange Knowles ("Holy Ghost" by Kim Burrell) and mother-in-law Gloria Carter ("I Was Here" by Beyonce herself).
Bey's former Destiny's Child bandmates also helped create the list. Michelle Williams (II) and Kelly Rowland picked "Island Letter" by Shuggie Otis and "What's the 411" by Mary J. Blige, respectively.
