Beyoncé sets the Super Bowl on fire as Destiny's Child bandmates make surprise appearance at spectacular halftime performance


Beyoncé sets the Super Bowl on fire as Destiny's Child bandmates make surprise appearance at spectacular halftime performance

  • The San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens kick-off Super Bowl XLVII at 6.30 ET
  • Hundreds of thousands of people party through the day in New Orleans and its historic French Quarter

Beyonce channeled her Sasha Fierce alter-ego on stage at the half-time Super Bowl show this evening as a surprise reunion of Destiny's Child wowed the crowd in New Orleans.
Launching the show with a strong performance of 'Crazy in Love' complete with a guitar flaming as it played out its solo, Beyonce proved her doubters wrong by singing live one week after the controversy over her lip-synching at the Presidential Inauguration.
In a massive surprise for the tens of millions watching at home, Beyonce was joined by Destiny's Child members Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams who sang with the diva on their massive hit 'Bootylicious' and her single smash 'Single Ladies'
However, despite Beyonce appearing to sing live, Twitter was filled with complaints from viewers at home who complained about the sound quality - some said that they were unable to hear Rowland and Williams as they joined their more illustrious bandmate on stage.
