Beyonce came to the stage with dozens of fans cheering her on. Apparently twitter was going bonkers.
I really could not see a lot of the faces in the handmade countdown; because it was really fast but it was different take on introducing the show.
The stage was set with two faces looking at each other from each side with hair blowing in the wind.
Beyonce tonight wore a black leather jacket bodysuit ensemble by designer Rubin Singer and she threw into the audience her jacket and part of the skirt that revealed underneath a leather leotard dress with lace insets on the side.

Her first song was a few verses of Love on Top and then Crazy in Love. I was right Jay Z was not on stage with her. She crawled on the stage, and did her cat walk.
She used a lot of body image interpretations of holograms of herself which I have seen her use in past performances. Baby Boy your on my mind you are my fantasy…
She had a mass amount of dancers and her band to fill the stage. She used a lot of lights and the cool part to me was the fire coming from the lady musician’s guitar.
I was hearing speculation that her former bandmates from Destiny’s Child, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, would not make an appearance. However, they came out from underneath the stage and sang Bootylicious, Independent Woman and then went right into Single Ladies and even did the dance routine. I got Single Ladies right too. It appeared that Kelly’s and Michelle’s mics were not turned up loud enough. I wonder if this was a miscue or if it was intentional.
I was really thinking that Beyonce, Kelly and Michelle would sing their latest release, Nuclear, but not this time. I have been hearing mixed reviews about the song so maybe one day the DC reunited will perform it live.
Beyonce also sung her hit Halo. She asked the audience to reach their hands out to her so she could feel their energy. Halo, Halo, Halo!
It was a high-energy show filled with booty shaking and many of Beyonce’s hits. Would have liked to seen her perform my favorite song, Get Me Bodied, but I know there are only so many songs you can perform in 12-13 minutes.
It was very clear that Beyonce’s performance was not about introducing any new material but giving the fans their favorites and that’s what it’s really about. She did a good job.
I have to admit my favorite Superbowl halftime show was when Prince performed, EPIC.
And congratulations to the Baltimore Ravens for winning a hard-fought game.
