Beyonce and the Blackout, er Blowout?


Don't blame Beyonce for blowing the lights out at the Super Bowl.  NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said Monday that the halftime show was not the cause of the power outage that darkened the Superdome for half an hour during Sunday's broadcast.  However, who was responsible for the blowout of her costume?

Had to edit with the hearts.
Too gross for my blog!
I can't say that I have ever been a huge Beyonce fan, and I have really mixed reviews of her performance on Sunday.  Her dancing was amazing.  Her choreography beautiful.  As the parent of a very talented dancer, I appreciate good choreography.  However, not in love with her costume choice...  When you are going to be doing a dance routine like that (high energy) your costume choice is very important.  Considering your venue is also a must.  Had a little nipple and genitalia been flashed at a concert I wouldn't be upset, but the Superbowl is a sporting event on tv with millions of children watching, and it's just not an appropriate setting for this.  I was pretty disappointed.  Normally the pop star is a little classier than this.

Beyonce's 13-minute set included hits "Crazy in Love," ''Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" and a Destiny's Child reunion.  The energetic performance was supposedly sung live days after she admitted she sang to a pre-recorded track at President Barack Obama's inauguration. But parts still seemed pretty lip synced to me. All in all, a very poor choice.  Hoping they opt for something classier next year!
