While reviewing the video of " Cater 2 U " , Rashaun Hall of MTV News felt that " the trio have decided to go '' au naturale '' — tastefully , of course " . He further concluded that the clip " is all about scenery and the beauty of the trio " . In their book '' Music Video and the Politics of Representation '' , Diane Railton and Paul Watson felt that the presence of men " seems utterly superfluous to the video 's spectacle of female bodies and female pleasures " . They further noted that the video 's imagery and performance managed to proceed without a reference to its lyrics and elaborated , " Indeed , the abstracted emptiness of its desert spaces , the posed tableaux of the women 's bodies and the noticeable lack of attention directed to its male subjects by both the camera and the group , does not simply jar with the lyrical narrative of female subordination but in fact reinforces the image of Destiny 's Child as independent women who are in control of their own lives . That is to say , the video ( re ) establishes an image of women who are in control of their own bodies , their own desires , their relationship with men and their friendships with women . " On November 16 , 2004 Destiny 's Child performed " Cater 2 U " during the television show '' Good Morning America '' broadcast on the American Broadcasting Company ( ABC ) . They performed it again on December 18 , 2004 during the television show '' Saturday Night Live '' , along with their then-current single Soldier . The song was performed on June 28 during the 2005 BET Awards in Los Angeles . Midway through the performance , for which the members wore form-fitting , floor-length brown gowns , they randomly picked Terrence Howard , Nelly and Magic Johnson from the audience to the stage and performed a lap dance for them . Corey Moss of MTV News felt that their performance was one of the more memorable of the night . Emily Tan from the website Idolator noted that the performance was one of the band 's best further writing , " No one expected the girls to get as down and dirty as they did ... But it looked like no one was complaining . " Steve Baltin writing for '' Rolling Stone '' remarked that the group provided " some sizzle " . The trio gave a live rendition of " Cater 2 U " again at NBC 's '' The Today Show '' show on July 29 , 2005 . A writer of '' People '' magazine felt that " Beyoncé shimmies and shakes things up " during the performance . An acoustic version was also performed on MTV in 2005 during the its '' Spring Break '' coverage
