That song featured Beyonce's skilled choreography, as did "End of Time" and "Baby Boy," which also showcased Beyonce's all-female band, balancing out the testosterone levels on the football field.īefore the game, Alicia Keys performed a lounge-y, piano-tinged version of the national anthem that her publicist assured was live. They also joined in for some of "Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)," where Beyonce's voice grew stronger. The 31-year-old was far better than Madonna, who sang to a backing track last year, and miles ahead of the Black Eyed Peas' disastrous set in 2011.īeyonce was best when she finished her set with "Halo." She asked the crowd to put their hands toward her as she sang the slow groove on bended knee - and that's when she the performance hit its high note.
Her confidence - and voice - grew as she worked the stage with and without her Destiny's Child band mates during her 13-minute set, which comes days after she admitted she sang to a pre-recorded track at President Barack Obama's inauguration less than two weeks ago.īeyonce proved not only that she can sing, but that she can also entertain on a stage as big as the Super Bowl's. She was ready to rock, and she did so like a pro. Beyonce ripped off part of her shirt and skirt. Then she went into her hit "Crazy In Love," bringing some feminine spirit to the Superdome as she and her background dancers did the singer's signature booty-shaking dance.
She set a serious tone as she emerged onstage in all black, singing lines from her R&B hit "Love on Top." The stage was dark as fire and lights burst from the sides. Beyonce opened and closed her set belting songs, and in between she danced hard and heavy - and better than most contemporary pop stars.
