The Roots of Beyonce's Super Bowl Spectacular

The Superbowl Halftime show was the only thing being talked about for at least a day on Twitter. I didn't actually get to see the show until a few days later, but by the sounds of it, it was quite the "Spectacular"! One of the many hashtags trending on Twitter was #PraiseBeysus. Although spiritual in nature, it was meant signify this transition from icon, to "god" and legend. It is also part of what inspires her art. With sounds of the church, and african-americana dance moves, #PraiseBeysus is accurate.

In the article, The Roots of Beyonce's Super Bowl Spectacular,  NPR said, "Beyonce now is the biggest star carrying forward the music legacy of her race." I thought this statement was powerful, and inspiring. Not only did she take her performance to the next level with amazing technologies, but even as the front woman, she reunited her old female group for the show.

I also think its really interesting to look at it objectively. NPR also said, "In public, at least, they're living an abstraction, a fantasy the culture craves and requires. One scratch in its surface, revealing fragility, can undermine the whole project." Which explains why people had such a fit over her inauguration performance. Either way, I think things can only go up from here for Beyonce.
