She came. She saw. She SANG for real! And she kicked some
serious Bootylicious butt. Beyoncé pulled off a great Pepsi Super Bowl XLVII Halftime Show at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome . Hollywood Reporter wondered before the time
"Would the sizzling human volcano erupt with 12 minutes of
booty-popping, hip-thrusting, hair-flipping hoochie-mama fabulousness? Or did
being a wife and mother, an Obama intimate and a Serious Artist mean Queen Bey
would tone down the sexual heat and shift into pop-gospel goddess mode? Would
hubby Jay-Z make a “Crazy in Love” cameo? And would Destiny’s Child reunite on
the Superdome stage?" Yes for all, except on Jay-Z who opted to stay at
home. In short, the Bey-boss uncorked a whole mess of molten lava. It was fire,
lights, back-to-back solo hits, except with Bootylicious when her former
Destiny's Child crew joined her on stage. She started with one of the great pop
songs of the 2000s, "Crazy in Love," the track that established her
not only as a singing force but also as an adept song-picker whose taste in
producers is equalled by her skill at turning their tracks into her own hits.
"Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)," "End of Time,"
"Baby Boy" — each melded seamlessly with one another. It was amazing.
I was in awe. I thought Madonna did a good job in 2012, but Beyoncé kicked
Madge's MDNA ass. Well done Beyoncé!
