very disapointed,

she would have been better off - i wish instead she sang " the prince song - The beautiful ones"

That's another thing. Besides her amazing Sasha Fierce tour, which I saw, she did yet another amazing job with her Glastonbury performance last year, in which she sang The Beautiful Ones beautifully!!

That makes the disappointment of the Super Bowl even bigger for me.

If she sang that for the superbowl she would have probably been criticized and called a klepto copycat. I was glad she stuck to her own material I wish she had invited latoya and latavia back and did more destinys child numbers. It would have been nostalgic to see Beyonce Kelly Michelle Latoya and Latavia on stage together.

Wow

Its funny you posted those Beyonce pics

I think it is is ALSO interesting how Janet got alot of backlash for her SB halftime because of her boob (which was barely noticable ) which partially hurt her career and Beyonces halftime was more sexually explicit/provocative and she got praised for it

There definitly is alot of politics there in her undeserving success

[Edited 2/5/13 10:26am]

If you are loaded with money you can use it to buy lots of things. Its all about the benjamins and Bey & Jay-Z have plenty of it and arent shy about "sharing" it with certain folk.

I'm serious yall those free pancakes at Ihop are the shiznits piss.

Go get some now! shits is good...

...FIRERCE!!

My thoughts on it? I thought both her performance and the Super Bowl itself would be a great time to go down to the apartment complex laundry room and do my laundy and that's exactly what I did. My thoughts on clips of it being all over the local and national news afterwards and days later? It's rediculous. If I wanted to see it, I would have watched it when it aired.

I'm not trying to diss Beyonce or sound like someone who is a ''hater''

But peoples reactions are so over the top

On GMA the hosts were all like ''oh i have seen every super bowl since 1987 and this is the best one by far''

people are so easy to hype ANYTHING these day's...

Beyonce's show reminded me of Bruce... Bruce put on a great show and had amazing energy but it's all stuff we have sene before(And his song choices were meh ) Or you have seen before if you are a fan anywho.

Prince had the marching band and a bunch of other thing's to go along and that made it fun!

Or when Aerosmith did that show with N'Synch and Britney... i had N'Synch but it was a cool and suprising mix.

but meh to each their own i guess.

Yes, tell me about it. And for Kobe Bryant to called Beyonce "The Greatest Female Entertainer Of All-Time", he came off as a f***ing mark!

I can give Jay-Z a pass since he is Beyonce's husband. But Kobe gets NO mercy. F*** him!!! He's a mark!

I love the second pic the best. Now I post what I have been trying to post(my thought on the half-time performance) and the board won't post my whole post. I was entertained, but then again, I am a fan so take it what it is worth. I knew the Org would be harsh on Bey, and there are some valid criticisms and unfair ones too. People who I know and aren't as knowledgable about Bey and her performing acumen enjoyed it and was entertained.

A little overhyped? Maybe but most mainstream entertainers are. She did her thing, showed why she has fans and that's all that matters to me. My fave parts was her interactions with Bibi(her lead guitarist and band leader), the horn playing at the beginning of End of Time and her rendition of Halo. I love when she sings that song, that has truly become her signature ballad vocally IMO.

Halftime Ratings Down from Last Year

Ratings. Although Sunday’s Super Bowl broke a ratings record in metered markets, Deadline reports that Beyoncé failed top last year’s performer, Madonna, in ratings measured during the halftime-show half-hour. Beyoncé’s halftime show, which occurred in the 8 – 8:30 PM ET time slot, scored a 48.2/71.

That’s down from the 48.1/72 of Madonna’s 2012 halftime performance. Madonna had 114 million viewers, more than the actual game and Beyoncé had her ratings go from 100 Millon to 95 Millon during her halftime performance.

In other words, Madonna still has a bigger LGBT fanbase than Beyonce does.

As for the straight fans, there are plenty children/teens of the 1980's that most likely outnumber the children/teens of the 2000's, hence why Madonna received more viewers.

And she always will. There is a reason why Madonna is the biggest touring force in the world.

It's similar but not a carbon copy. We know that fashion, even performance costume are variants of past stuff. The only part that is similar really is the lace at the bottom. Are we going to pick her apart for this too?

Sorry, but Beyonce's Super Bowl Halftime Show Wasn't That Great

By Brian Moylan , Hollywood.com Staff | Monday, February 04, 2013

Immediately after she took her incredibly awkward bow for her Super Bowl halftime show (brought to you by Pepsi, fame, and abnormally excellent genetics), the reviews for Beyoncé were rapturous and the GIFs of every movement she made popped up like chicken pox on an 8-year-old. I'm sorry, but I didn't think it was that great.

I'm gonna start off saying that I am a Beyoncé fan, that I have her music on my iPod, and that I have made the "Single Ladies hand" on the dance floor in more than one gay bar in more than one city in America (and one in Canada). I think she is an enormously talented and wonderful performer with a great voice, who was not lip syncing at President Obama's inauguration. And her performance at the Super Bowl was good, but it was basically a Beyoncé concert distilled down to 12 minutes. Just like we had to endure commercials for Go Daddy, Two Broke Girls, and (ugh) Scientology, we also had to endure this extended informercial for Beyoncé, something that most of us would gladly buy anyway.

Just look at how the performance began, with a shot of the stage that was monomaniacally shaped like not one but two Beyoncé heads. Then we saw a giant silhouette of her — larger-than-life in pink neon — posed like the real version of her below. Then she strutted her way across an empty show. It was clear from the start that this was going to be all about Beyoncé. It got even worse as she stood, practically alone, at center stage. That's like having a deliciously prepared Thanksgiving turkey and only eating one drum stick. There is so much more you could do! To make it even worse, when there weren't enough Beyoncés on the stage that were made out of Beyoncés, she had video projections of even more Beyoncés just so you knew that this was, after all, a Beyoncé show. The problem is, we didn't want a Beyoncé show. We wanted an extravaganza. We wanted something that was huge and maximalist and full of surprises. We wanted the biggest 'wows' to not be a guitar shooting sparks, and Kelly Rowland and (non-Oscar nominee) Michelle Williams launching themselves out of the floor. This wasn't about Beyoncé, this was about football. This was about America. This was about the biggest pop cultural event of the year, and she failed to do anything special.

Not only did she not debut any music or even flog a new single (maybe because the new Destiny's Child track is rather subpar), but all of the moves in the show were cribbed from other Beyoncé performances. We saw her dance with video projections of herself at the Billboard Music Awards. We've seen her snap her weave in the air and punch toward the ground in a the "Single Ladies" video a million times. We've also seen her "give the hand" both in the video and in concerts a million times, and she did it yet again last night on every television set with a half-boozy audience tuning in between bites of nachos. This was nothing original, nothing new and — though deftly executed — nothing like the extravaganza we were hoping for.

The "Destiny's Child reunion" was the worst. It was bad enough that we barely got to hear more than 30 seconds of each of B's biggest hits, but we only got two short snippets of the girl group's top hits, "Bootylicious" and "Independant Woman, Part 1." We're still waiting for that sequel. (And where was "Bills Bills Bills"? Where was "Say My Name"? Where was "Survivor"?) While ostensibly equals in a girl group (yeah right), the other two are now officially relegated to back-up dancers serving their queen. Adding insult to short-lived injury, Beyoncé then forced these two to sing back up on one of her songs. They each got a little verse to sing alone, but when they did their mics were turned so low you couldn't even hear them (the same was true when all were singing together). Then we were told to give it up for Kelly and Michelle as they resumed their rightful place somewhere off the stage.

Thanks for posting this crit. It is exactly why I felt underwhelmed by this non-event. You know another reason Madonna had more people watching was because she arrived and performed looking like nothing we had seen her do a trillion times before, AND it honored the Superbowl by being the "extravaganza" people have come to expect.

I, too, was rolling my eyes at the back screen filling the stage with multiple Beyonces. There is no way anyone is more full of herself than Beyonce.

I also noticed Destiny's Child's microphones were turned to about 40% amplification of Beyonce's. That is no mistake.

Even Madonna let M.I.A.'s rap be heard loudly and her own camera time.

Safe to say at this point, no one will beat Madonna's show.

Next year, instead of saying "it is too cold to perform in Jersey" Superbowl organizers should decide to have the game played somewhere/sometime WARMER, and invite a classic band, not one singer.

This guy is trying too hard to fit into America, but still reveals his heritage at every turn.

be and tina turner... okay. WHAT'S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT = "annie mae, eat this cake!" (it was morpheus that made it funny, not the actual situation cuz NUTBUSH CITY LIMITS could'a had a little more time.) angela bassett had a better mug, as does beyonce. she could move, voice is doper. tina's songs might have been better. the only 1 i might have purchased was PROUD MARY (respectively ) and i have a couple of be's joints on my ipod. a destiny's child cd and tape. "make love to mee-eeey." tina might have better legs. i'd dig through cobwebs (see BOOTY CALL film) for her before i disrespect my fave rapper. all i have right now.

Maybe if it was once or twice...but damn. She copies everyone and constantly. From that foreign stage show to Prince's dance moves to old videos to Madonna to Tina and beyond. Geez... All that weave has sucked the creativity right out of her little brain

she prolly would of got better reviews if she had of just brought blue ivy out on stage with no singing and say meet my daughter yall and left off the stage cuz that performance was so damn boring.im not a hater cuz i love me some love on top and countdown but i didnt think she was ready 2 do a super bowl half time. whats next justin beiber? taylor swift lady gaga?

That's a nickel slick tactic that Beyonce pick up from her father "Cutthroat" Matthew Knowles. No one, not even Kelly & Michelle, outshines daddy's princess.

Nobody!

Wendy Williams today said that Beyonce has a broader fanbase than Madonna (I forgot the exact words but it was leaning toward that). I wanted to know what she was smoking

The seven unflattering photos Beyonce demanded BuzzFeed remove from the web

Beyonce has demanded a series of "unflattering" photos be deleted. This wasn't even one of them.

• Publicist Yvette asked the site to "respectfully" change some pictures
• Identified "the worst" shots and demanded they be removed
• Photos remain on Buzzfeed's website

UN-BEY-LIEVABLE. These are the seven "unflattering" photos that Beyonce wants permanently removed from the internet.

Maybe she really does think she is the girl "who runs the world .. who runs this motha ..."

Staff at social content sharing site, Buzzfeed, couldn't Bey-lieve when the superstar's publicist contacted them to demand that a handful of fierce-faced photos be removed immediately from the site.

The photos, taken during her Super Bowl performance on Sunday night, appeared within an article entitled "The 33 Fiercest Moments ...ime Show."

Her publicist, Yvette, emailed staff at the website asking them to "respectfully" change some of the pics of the photogenic star, and didn't hesitate to pick out the "worst" ones.

(Wait, there's seven photos in the running to be the "worst" photo of Beyonce?)

"I am certain that you will be able to find some better photos," wrote Yvette, before pointing out: "The worst (pictures) are #5, 6, 10, 11, 12, 19 and 22."

The photos still remain on Buzzfeed's site, obviously because they were Bey-ond caring about the singer's demands.

Here's the seven "worst" pictures of Beyonce:

We also wanted to make mention of this one, lucky number 13, which Bey didn't seem to find “unflattering” enough to demand its deletion. Yep, 13 somehow scraped through on the "least worst / acceptable list".

All the single ladies put your hands up!

What do you think? Is Beyonce within her rights to demand the photos be deleted? Or is she just being vain?
