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.

also, Beyonce asked everyone if they could handle it... apparently the super bowl could not handle it.
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.
you should have just yelled (in a very dramatic fashion) "Lisa Left is is DEAD!!!!!"
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
Mhmm, yes, okay.
my god wow
but i loved what she was wearing
That is their most memorable hit after Independent Women.

but ofc people will be seething anyway

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.
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.
my only problem was the "halo" ending
she also coulda done more visually, but oh well
