Will Beyonce Super Bowl Halftime Show Be Devoid Of Lip Synching & Destiny's Child Reunion?

Posted byBy ABS Contributor | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

The Super Bowl halftime show is one of the most anticipated sports events of the year, and this is especially the case since the award winning singer Beyonce Knowles will be headlining this year’s concert.

Let’s not mention how unconfirmed reports about the entertainer plans to reunite with her band-mates of Destiny’s Child, Kelly Rowland & Michele Williams,  have sent the excitement surrounding the performance through the roof.

However, after the Inauguration produced Beyonce-gate, Instagram postings of Beyonce rehearsing solo, and Michele telling MTV News on Thursday “unfortunately, I honestly can’t say,” when asked about the reunion, fans are confused about what really will be going down on Feb. 3 at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.

Fortunately, a song list for the Super Bowl 2013 halftime show has reportedly been leaked that supposedly confirms the Destiny’s Child reunion is in full effect in New Orleans.

According to Us Weekly, Beyonce, Kelly, and Michelle will be joining forces to perform some of their old hits :

Knowles, 31, will perform her hit “Crazy in Love” during a solo set to kick off the show. Midway through the act, she’ll be joined by Rowland, 31, and Williams, 32, to sing a medley of their biggest hits starting with “Bills, Bills, Bills,” “Survivor,” and ending with their new track “Nuclear.”

The celebrity and entertainment magazine also quotes a source who says Beyonce is eager to reverse the fallout from her lip-sync scandal at President Obama’s inauguration. So, if you’re wondering if she’ll be using her prerecorded voice at the Super Bowl halftime show, don’t count on it.

Knowles is reportedly so “bitterly disappointed” by the reaction to her lip-synced performance of the American National Anthem she wants to deliver the most unforgettable performance at  Super Bowl 2013.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
