Viral video: Beyonce’s SuperBowl performance is just… amazing

by Feb 4, 2013

The pyrotechnics were not just on the stage.

Beyonce’s stunning half-time performance at the SuperBowl is also setting social media ablaze, with the YouTube video really making the rounds.

Beyonce sang like she had something to prove at the SuperBowl, balancing out the testosterone levels on the football field with a dance-heavy performance that featured her Destiny’s Child band mates and an all-female band.

She emerged onstage singing some of Love on Top, transitioning to her hit Crazy In Love in an all-black ensemble, which matched the dark stage. She ripped off part of her shirt and skirt as she danced hard with background dancers doing the same.

She sang live — and sounded good. Days after admitting to singing to a pre-recorded track at President Barack Obama’s inauguration, she proved herself to any doubters and added a few off-script remarks as if to show her microphone was on.

Her background singers helped out as Beyonce danced around the stage throughout most of the 13-minute performance. She was especially top-notch during End of Time and Baby Boy.

She had a swarm of background dancers and band members spread throughout the stage, along with videotaped images of herself dancing. And the crowd got bigger when she was joined by her Destiny’s Child band mates.
