Review: Beyonce's SB Performance

At first, I was unsure whether Super Bowl XLVII would be Beyonce's biggest audience, or whether Beyonce would draw the SB's biggest crowd. She's agile, she has amazing vocals, is a great dancer and an overall amazing performer. With all the rumors about a Destiny's Child reunion, people didn't even think about what Bey could do.

Starting with Jay-Z's intro to Crazy In Love, Beyonce thundered, clearly singing live. I was expecting Jay to come on stage anytime to join her, but admittedly was a little disappointing when he didn't. Where there's Beyonce, there has to be Jay-Z, but the Super Bowl Halftime Show was all hers.

After what I called an awkward phase of her dancing with songs that did not properly highlight her career, the moment I had been waiting for came. Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams joined Bey in a Destiny's Child reunion, in what was an expected surprise. They stayed for about a song and a half, even singing Single Ladies. Not the song I would've chosen, considering Queen B is happily married, and it doesn't showcase the DC that was the super hit girl group of the 90s.

While the middle section of her performance exhibited Bey's amazing dance skills, flexibility and uncanny ability to do anything on stage, the beginning and end was pure vocal. Ending with one of the best performances of Halo I've ever seen, Beyonce shut down any critics that were still steaming over her lip-sync controversy.

Overall, Beyonce drew the biggest SB crowd ever, and it was evident in her beautiful vocals, her dance moves and her energy. She got the crowd involved, better than last year's Madonna could do. She was one of the best in SB history.
Rating: 4 stars.

Odd Jeopardy Question

Baseball star Bryce Harper answered a bad question in a way that would soon become extremely famous and overused. But no one ever expected it to reach the game show Jeopardy. Having politicians using your catchphrase "That's a clown question, bro" is one thing. But having that statement as a category on Jeopardy is a totally different, surprising fact.

The category involved clowns rather than the media or budding MLB stars. Harper seems to be in good spirits for the whole thing, trademarking the phrase and even dressing up as a clown for Halloween.

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis

The duo that consists of Macklemore and Ryan Lewis has a simple name, to describe their simple style: Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. They became an unlikely pop sensation with their smash hit "Thrift Shop."

Macklemore (Ryan Flaggerty) suffered with substance abuse from 2005 to 2008, but cleaned himself up to work on music with DJ/producer Ryan Lewis. Since late 2008, the duo have been making mix tapes and EPs. Their first major record album was released late 2012, called The Heist which peaked at number one on the American charts.

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis have a unique sound that describes their unique story. They go from rags to riches while becoming indie/hip-hop group. Their sound is no less surprising, seen on tracks like "Same Love", "Otherside", and "Thrift Shop."

Kim K Doesn't Want Attention?

If history is any indication, Kim K's pregnancy should be a great way for her to generate more fame and more money. But, the Kardashian says she doesn't want fame. Not right now, anyways. Since she and Duchess Kate are both expecting in July, both have been scrutinized by the media world wide for their maternity fashion. But when asked her thoughts, Kim was perfectly content with letting Kate have all the glory if Kim can have privacy.

It's very unlike a Kardashian to want privacy, but no one wants their bloated face all over the internet either. Critics call her comments a publicity stunt, saying that by her not wanting attention, more media will go anyways. Paranoid media? Maybe. But no one can make a baby bump as fashionable as Kim can.

JT, Taylor Announce New Music

Shortly after Destiny's Child announced new music, Taylor Swift and Justin Timberlake followed suit.

Post break-up with One Direction's Harry Styles, Taylor Swift tweeted that she was back in the studio. Of course, that can only mean one thing: another break-up song about Styles. It hasn't been confirmed, but if history is any indication, it's what everyone should expect.
