Beyonce Super Bowl Halftime Show: Singer Stuns With All-Out Display



For some, Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show was to be the Big Game's finest moment. But for all who tuned in to see the singer perform, it's clear she brought her A game.

Beyonce worked through a medley of her hits, including "Love on Top," "Crazy in Love," "End of Time," and "Baby Boy" before she was joined by Destiny's Child bandmates Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland. The trio started with "Bootylicious" and worked through "Independent Woman" before collaborating on "Single Ladies," which is a Beyonce song.

Rowland and Williams then left the stage, leaving Beyonce to perform "Halo" solo.

The show featured plenty of fire, ice and smoke, with Beyonce appearing on a rising platform. She was clad in an all-black ensemble with heels and a leather-like get-up. Early in the set, she threw her jacket into the audience. At some point, she used a screen that recalled her 2011 Billboard Music Awards performance.

Before the game started, Jennifer Hudson and a chorus of children from Sandy Hook Elementary School sang "America the Beautiful." Alicia Keys then performed the national anthem while seated at a piano.

It was enjoyable and fierce but a little predictable

I enjoyed it, but I thought it was too short.

I am very much enjoying the half Queen Elizabeth/half Marie Antoinette look in the tour promo photos, though.

Meh, Her Deja Vu performance at the BET Awards was better. Even Janet's Superbowl show was more entertaining pre nip slip

I wanted to love it, but alas that shit was BORING. Ugh, I need her to rethink those song choices.

I didn't like the camera work and Michelle's flop performance. Other than that I loved it.

Can anyone confirm: Has ALL of the superbowl musical entertainment ever been all-Black before? or all female (I think that's a yes)

Just wondering.
m_h_p 4th-Feb-2013 03:53 am (UTC)
Definitely not both.

That's my favourite thing about her live shows - how she actively points out her all-female band
oasisfan 4th-Feb-2013 03:57 am (UTC)
I mean pre-show, national anthem, halftime. All of it (J-Hud, Alicia Keys, Bey).

I really liked all of the acts.

Diana Ross?

Girlfriend is an entertainer, there is no doubt about that. Honestly the most entertained I've been in a Superbowl show in...years. Years upon years.

lmao okay you win only because i love Oprah
monicaxoxo 4th-Feb-2013 04:00 am (UTC)
But it was Basic. I like Beyonce but seriously.
It was Very basic and very recycling.

I love to watch people do recycling their trash but not peformance.
monicaxoxo 4th-Feb-2013 03:53 am (UTC)
I don't think it was bas as most people said.
It was basic and boring but not that bad as B.E.P honestly.

But her performance just remind all of us that how amazing and efic was Madonna's last year halftime show.


Epic and iconic enterance, that beautiful flash light, introducing Slacklining to whole world. and of course that magical ending.

For me one of most impress thing was Madonna did cut that shit fake audience on the field off.

And Beyonce did bring that annoying fake fieild audience back. duh. of course.

What a wordy way to say you prefer lots of glitter and flashing lights.
harderthanalist 4th-Feb-2013 04:05 am (UTC)
I agree. I loved Madonna performances but this just made me love it even more.
I mean I think Bey is a good performer but I though she would have brought more to the table.
monicaxoxo 4th-Feb-2013 04:10 am (UTC)
ITAWY.
Beyonce's halftime show was much better than her presidential inauguration performance.
But this is The Super Bowl halftime show! seriously!
How boring and basic enterance and ending. And those boring recycling dance choreography!
I just...
She can do better.
I mean at least Jay Z do it better.

Bitch took the power but it damn near almost helped us win...
friarsfire 4th-Feb-2013 04:06 am (UTC)

OK, someone didnt watch the last 5 mins of the game lol
dirtysidedown 4th-Feb-2013 04:07 am (UTC)
i don't think i blinked, except to wipe away the tears when DC popped up and destiny was fulfilled. seriously, she's the most entertaining single person to watch perform. i was thrilled, but i didn't spend the last month talking her up either. she's human. anyway, the energy was great and we all were left wanting more which is telling.
winniechili 4th-Feb-2013 04:15 am (UTC)
You should use "we" more sparingly.
dirtysidedown 4th-Feb-2013 05:11 am (UTC)
I used it once, oh great asshole of ONTD.
