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.

Destiny's Child was my favorite part.


also, Beyonce asked everyone if they could handle it... apparently the super bowl could not handle it.

It wasn't really any more or less than I was expecting? Like it wasn't bad by any means but it just seemed like I had seen her do it all before. So *shrug*

My dad said "I'm surprised they let that one out of jail for burning down her house" and I just wanted to find a table to flip.

one_hoopy_frood 4th-Feb-2013 02:21 am (UTC)
I didn't even want to look at him after he said that.

lmao that was almost my exact conversation with my mom yesterday.
Me: Destiny's Child is supposedly reuniting!
Her: Didn't one of them burn down a house?

The way she said it was so rude too. My inner Left Eye stan was NOT HAPPY.

Sorry to say but Madonna was better/more iconic

Madonna's idea was fresh & new, she only used it at the Super Bowl, the entrance, the outfits, the stage, the graphics, the ending, etc everything felt new and iconic beyonce did the same thing she always does Zzzz

Sorry to say but Madonna was better/more iconic

Mhmm, yes, okay.

retromaury 4th-Feb-2013 02:07 am (UTC)
Ok one mistake, but her entrance was flawless/epic and her outfit was more iconic than beyonce's
judgmental 4th-Feb-2013 02:35 am (UTC)
to be fair... Beyonce messed up the hand choreo

i luv madonna but lbr, the most significant part of her performance was mia giving everyone the finger. nagl
gata007 4th-Feb-2013 03:03 am (UTC)
I agree completely! I'm a Beyonce fan and I have to give it to Madonna for the originality and creativity. Madonna's superbowl was much more visually stimulating and iconic.
drunkagron 4th-Feb-2013 03:14 am (UTC)
Madonna blew me away. Beyonce left me underwhelmed.
roxas39 4th-Feb-2013 03:36 am (UTC)
Madonna was stiff and I hated the LMFAO part but I still agree
xena_mademegay 4th-Feb-2013 02:01 am (UTC)

jess_sayin 4th-Feb-2013 02:02 am (UTC)
I thought she looked great and was on fire. But like others I thought the end was odd. she fell back on her heels, spread eagle to a couple fans. /show

Her dancing always looks like she's trying to beat up a dwarf with her ass.
backincharge 4th-Feb-2013 02:03 am (UTC)
I loved it overall but it did feel like a typical Beyonce show (not that that is a bad thing at all) but it just didn't really have any memeorable moments to it. Still amazing though.

I'd say Madonna's was better but she performed GMAYL and had LMFAO. But Beyonce performed Baby Boy, Halo, and End Of Time over Survivor, Irreplaceable, and Countdown (which I know it was apart of the show but I would have preferred a separate performance).

I'm torn.
cluelessraf 4th-Feb-2013 02:04 am (UTC)
End of Time >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> life.
backincharge 4th-Feb-2013 02:05 am (UTC)
I love the song but it was like number 10 on my list of songs i wanted.
turkish_popstar 4th-Feb-2013 02:06 am (UTC)
End of Time is my favorite song of hers and I was convinced she wouldn't do it since it was never a single but I freaked out when she did it
rainbowren 4th-Feb-2013 02:06 am (UTC)
mte!
licorrice 4th-Feb-2013 02:22 am (UTC)
End of time is so flawless, I literally screamed when it came on.

Madonna's was a lot more entertaining, but I think bey's showed how powerful she is~
turkish_popstar 4th-Feb-2013 02:08 am (UTC)
My thoughts are that Madonna puts on a hell of a show but Beyoncé is extremely talented as a singer and still needs to work on an overall performance. She was still entertaining and did an amazing job
fiqary 5th-Feb-2013 08:43 am (UTC)
What did you wanted in the setlist?
fiqary 5th-Feb-2013 08:47 am (UTC)
Well that was just that for Madonna's.

Bey gave music, she sang live and it was not about the production, more like just her and a mic, just her talents. So for that, I have to say Bey's is better, just pure music and her, not much visual aid.
scornedsaint 4th-Feb-2013 02:03 am (UTC)
It wasn't my favorite ever, but Michelle and Kelly flying out of those trapdoors made it awesome.
backincharge 4th-Feb-2013 02:07 am (UTC)
I was honestly expecting Michelle to fall.
thrillisgone_89 4th-Feb-2013 02:03 am (UTC)
she SLAYED

my only problem was the "halo" ending

she also coulda done more visually, but oh well
