Super Bowl 2013: Destiny's Child Reunion (Photos)

Super Bowl 2013: Destiny's Child Reunion, Super Bowl Entertainment, Beyonce electrifies Super Bowl even before Destiny's Child reunion,

 She was under pressure to deliver a brilliant performance at Sunday's Super Bowl following the recent lip syncing controversy at President Obama's Inauguration. And Beyonce took to the stage with trademark style, with an all-singing, all-dancing spectacular greatest hits set for the half time show, which culminated in her being joined on stage by Destiny's Child bandmates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams.


The 31-year-old singer sported a plunging leather Rubin Singer corset and skirt which she stripped off to reveal a lace underlay during a slick, energetic show packed with special effects at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans. She brought the house down -- and some joked, took out the power.

Superstar Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show dazzled the crowd even before the singer reunited onstage with her hit 1990s R&B group, Destiny's Child. However, her show may have taken up a large amount of electricity, with the power in the stadium going out shortly after the 14 minute set. She emerged onstage singing lines from her R&B hit Love on Top under a giant lit up silhouette of herself, with a group of fans running on to the field to watch next to the lit up stage in the shape of two facing profiles of the singer. Black over-the-knee socks over fishnet tights and high heeled ankle boots completed Beyonce's sexy outfit designed by little known New York based Rubin Singer.The Superdome crowd started roaring from the moment Beyonce appeared, clad in black leather and heels and soon flanked by an army of dress-alike dancers.

She lit up the arena, performing a medley of her solo hits (including "Love on Top" and "Baby Boy") and completely erasing any of the pre-game fuss about lip-synching.  And then, as rumored, her fellow Destiny's Child members Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland seemingly levitated up from underground and appeared on the stage with the band's most famous former member."Give it up for Destiny's Child, y'all!" Beyonce called to the screaming audience as Williams and Rowland appeared.

Rowland, Williams and Beyonce performed "Bootylicious" and "Independent Women," which were huge Destiny's Child hits, and then Williams and Rowland joined Beyonce for her crowd-pleasing solo hit, "Single Ladies."

Destiny's Child, founded in 1990, sold more than 500 million records. The group broke up in 2006, with all members pursuing solo careers, Beyonce becoming the most successful.

Shortly after the game resumed after the halftime show, part of the lights went out at the Superdome, leading to plenty of online jokes that it was Beyonce's powerful performance that caused the problem. The stage was dark while fire and lights burst from the sides as she began hit Crazy in Love, complete with a guitar flaming as it played out its solo. The clearly pumped up star even blew a kiss to the crowd, before beginning her show in front of fireworks and light effects on video screens.

Beyonce's spectacular performance provided an elaborate contrast to the on-field sporting action between the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers, with special effects including a light show, fireworks, and kaleidoscopic multiple video footage of the star. There was a backing track to help fill in when she wasn't singing - and there were long stretches when she let it play as she performed elaborate dance moves with a swarm of background dancers and band members.

Beyonce performed a number of hits including End of Time, and Baby Boy before being joined by Michelle and Kelly who wore similar revealing black outfits. Kelly sported a leather Emilio Pucci leotard with identical stockings and boots, while Michelle sported a ultra short black miniskirt over her slinky leather number.
