American R&B recording artist Beyoncé Knowles covered the song during her 2009 revue show I Am... Yours, which was held four consecutive nights in July and August. It was later included on her live CD/DVD An Intimate Performance at Wynn Las Vegas, which contained the performances from the show of the revue.[5] Later, she covered the song for her 2011 revue show 4 Intimate Nights with Beyoncé held during four non-consecutive nights in August 2011.[6][7] After delving into her musical history during the show, Knowles states: "I just want to have a good time with y'all," before she begins the revue's set list with her rendition of "I Wanna Be Where You Are", further recalling that she loved singing the song.[8][9] It was included on the live DVD Elements of 4 released on November 21, 2011.[10]

Lord knows I fell in love... Watching him I realized exactly what I wanted to be. He inspired me so much. As a matter of fact, the first song I performed with Destiny's Child was a Jackson 5 song. It's called 'Where You Are.' It's the song we auditioned to get our record deal. It was the beginning of our future. I love you forever, Michael Jackson."[11] A writer of Rap-Up noted that she "gave audience members goosebumps as she channeled MJ with her moves".[12] Mark Iraheta of Complex magazine wrote that she "lit up the stage and showed off some funky dance moves".[13]
