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.

my mom spent the whole performance half facing the screen and crossing herself because of her fear of all things illuminati. "there's a triangle *gasp* HER OUTFIT, TRIANGLES", "they need to stop closing up on her devil face". i'm surprised she didn't sprinkle the tv with holy water after.

good performance doe.

your mom sounds fun.

When did illuminati become el cucuy?
mammary_glands 4th-Feb-2013 04:11 am (UTC)
it is to her, for real. she'll give herself nightmares at night because she was watching illuminati conspiracy videos on youtube before bed. she is legit scared of jay-z and beyonce.
mattthew 4th-Feb-2013 04:42 am (UTC)
she needs to see the light tho
cluelessraf 4th-Feb-2013 02:13 am (UTC)
Seriously, reading comments about how underwhelming the show was.. wtf could she have done to satisfy some one u? I don't think anything tbh.
mammary_glands 4th-Feb-2013 02:15 am (UTC)
beyonce will never ever satisfy her haters on ONTD. they're just being negative for sport at this point because it's irrefutable that that performance was 11/10*, three thumbs up, 110% p e r f e c t i o n.

cluelessraf 4th-Feb-2013 02:18 am (UTC)
SRSLY. I was like, did we watch the same show because she had everything we wanted, singing, dancing and Destiny's Child.

BUT NOPE! Not perfect enough. Honestly, fuck them! She kicked ass and quite literally NOBODDDDYYYYY can outdo her.
ellaellaeheheh 4th-Feb-2013 02:19 am (UTC)
I just wanted a better ending. because I loved the entrance. maybe another song
thishollywood 4th-Feb-2013 02:21 am (UTC)
Its funny bc I legit can't think of ne1 else in da game rn who would have the stamina to do that exact same show and have it not come out a mess
hahahey 4th-Feb-2013 02:21 am (UTC)
eh, the set list was off. She really shouldn't have closed with halo, but really there won't be 100% positive comments here, it's how it works
bangpoppop 4th-Feb-2013 02:23 am (UTC)
I don't think the majority of the people saying that they were underwelmed really hated it tbh. They just had astronomically high expectations in their head. It happens and IA that she will never be able to please everyone, no one can tbh.
filmfreakfranco 4th-Feb-2013 02:26 am (UTC)
tbh her setlist was kinda off, she should have placed the slow songs together, or at least not have ended with Halo.

but that's minor because her choreography/singing was so on point.
pistol_eyes 4th-Feb-2013 02:47 am (UTC)
It was underwhelming because this was all shit that we've seen before. As someone stated, it was like she took other performances and jammed them into this show. A performance of this magnitude, I thought she was gonna pull out something new a la the billboard powerpoint performance. And she ends the show on a ballad? :/ Personally, I thought it was good, not great.
stussytribe 4th-Feb-2013 03:30 am (UTC)
ok first, she shouldve started off with a better outfit

then

she shouldve started with halo

ripped off part of her clothes to get comfortable
did crazy in love with jay-z
then a medley of single ladies, irreplaceable, run the world(i guess)

brought out kelly & michelle
then they shouldve done say my name, survivor, lose my breath & independent woman

they leave

then she finishes with end of time

thats what she shouldve done tbh

myheyday 4th-Feb-2013 04:10 am (UTC)
I think it was mainly the setlist, honestly. Baby Boy? Halo as the closing song? They were big hits when they came out but does anyone outside of the hardcore fanbase care about those songs anymore? I don't know if I was just underwhelmed by the song choices or if her music isn't aging well to me.
mattthew 4th-Feb-2013 04:43 am (UTC)
lol it's sad because every beyonce performance, beyonce GIVES it... like she can't do anything MORE cause she's already doing it all.
unchoco 4th-Feb-2013 05:28 am (UTC)
I enjoyed it but it as a weak setlist and a recycled idea from the Billboard performance.
silly_izzy_me 4th-Feb-2013 02:14 am (UTC)
lol at people trying to find something wrong with that performance
lidahbidah 4th-Feb-2013 02:14 am (UTC)
I was so excited for this performance and all that stuff, but ugh, it fell short. I guess because she didn't do anything new. I don't know what she could have done other than that, though.

She could have recycled her Billboard Award performance and it would have been better than this.

I think I screamed when Kelly and Michelle came out, but they weren't showcased as much as I would have liked them to have been, and Michelle was a mess, imo.

*sigh* With all that said, she killed it for what she did, but I guess my hopes were too high.

The stage looked awesome!

m_h_p 4th-Feb-2013 02:54 am (UTC)
I was thinking that! If she'd reworked the Billboard performance to fit the songs and the space, it would probably have been one of the best performances ever.
jacomus 4th-Feb-2013 02:14 am (UTC)
I loved it, I need to see her live next time she comes to Aus.

Also, here for the op.

warriorholmes 4th-Feb-2013 02:15 am (UTC)
Would've wanted better song choices but it was still awesome!!! :)
rissaroo 4th-Feb-2013 02:15 am (UTC)
michelle's dancing was so embarrassing.
ragechill 4th-Feb-2013 02:16 am (UTC)
Yup. It always is...
ragechill 4th-Feb-2013 02:15 am (UTC)
Whoever posted that poor michelle website. I couldn't stop laughing at it.
itsafunny_thing 4th-Feb-2013 02:45 am (UTC)
lol, do you have a link?
jess_sayin 4th-Feb-2013 02:15 am (UTC)
what are all those footballers doing at a beyonce concert
licorrice 4th-Feb-2013 02:16 am (UTC)
I'm still shaking and crying about the performance.
no_urges 4th-Feb-2013 02:16 am (UTC)
it wasn't flawless (contrary to stan jizzing), but it was really good. she danced her ass off and sounded good, even if kelly and michelle were kind of messes and the ending was boring/anticlimactic.
thrillisgone_89 4th-Feb-2013 02:18 am (UTC)
basically
lidahbidah 4th-Feb-2013 02:19 am (UTC)
I like this better than my comment, tbh.

Agreed.
mortoeroe 4th-Feb-2013 02:17 am (UTC)
y'all will never be fucking please, you all should be GRATEFUL for the BLESSING Her Holiness' expensive locks and on fucking point performance so freely gave to us, rme.
bangpoppop 4th-Feb-2013 02:17 am (UTC)
michelle is such a third wheel to me. Kelly is still my favorite DC member when they're together, but when they're apart I couldn't care less.

I need a gif of Kelly poppin the shit out of that stage.
