Recalling her concert a few months ago in Egypt, R&amp;B star Beyonce says she was moved by burkha-clad women singing her female empowerment song Irreplaceable. u00a0 But the men were not very amused, says the singer in an interview, adding that performing in Egypt just two months before the country's uprising started was a memorable experience. <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2011/aug/Beyonce.jpg" border="5" /> Despite protests from conservative Islamic groups ahead of the gig who did not approve of her risque outfits and booty-shaking dance moves, Beyonce's concert at Port Ghalib on the Red Sea was a roaring success. "There were a lot of women in the audience in burkhas. They were singing along to Irreplaceable it was amazing! Some of the men got really upset! u00a0 They were like 'We have to get you out of here!'... I guess some of them do get annoyed. But I never want to do 'the banner thing'," said the Who Run The World (Girls) hitmaker. Although many women steer away from the word 'feminist', the Texan insists she's always been one, although she believes the movement needs a new name. u00a0 "I don't really feel that it's necessary to define it. It's just something that's kind of natural for me."
