Super Bowl 50: Beyonce Stole The Halftime Show
Coldplay headlined the Super Bowl 50 halftime show, yet it was Beyoncé who came to play.
At the point when the NFL initially declared that Coldplay would be playing the halftime show, a couple basic presumptions developed: 1) They'd need to pay lip service to past Super Bowls (which they did, by means of a montage of past performers set to "Fix You"), and 2) Beyoncé would be joining, subsequent to Coldplay and Beyoncé had just recently discharged their joint effort melody, "Hymn For the Weekend."
It was likewise sort of expected that Beyoncé may outshine them.
To be reasonable, Coldplay gave it their excited best. Lead artist Chris Martin began the procedures on the field, encompassed by fans, and afterward performed songs like "Viva La Vida" and "Adventure of a Lifetime" with a giant grin on his face and a hyperactive spring in his stride. The band's Technicolor trappings combined with Martin's eagerness made for a standout amongst the most earnest halftime performances in recent memory. The entire thing felt as though it was developing underneath one of those rainbow kindergarten parachutes.
At that point, 2014 Super Bowl headliner Bruno Mars slid out to perform songwriter Mark Ronson's "Uptown Funk" with a slick line of dancers. It looked incredible; sadly the sound was mangled to the point that viewers at home could scarcely hear anything over the screaming crowds. Still, both Martin and Mars appeared to be having a hell of a time.
And after that the drumline parted, and there was Beyoncé.
It's not astonishing that Beyoncé killed; in 2013, she gave one of the best Super Bowl performances in the game's history. Yet, there was much more behind Beyoncé's performance of her brand new single "Development" than her closing down the dance floor — which she did, even in a dance-off with Mars that incorporated a nimbly swerved stumble.
The day preceding the Super Bowl, Beyoncé appeared the tune by dropping one of her best and boldest videos yet.
So there was, as there dependably may be, somewhat more than met the eye amid Beyoncé's performance. What's more, when Bruno Mars challenged Bey to a dance-off, she'd stolen the show for the last time. To finish it all off, the second the show remove from all the gleaming upbeat people singing Coldplay's finale to go to business, the principal advertisement was for Beyoncé, declaring a new Formation world tour. She's since declared a new reserve to help the offspring of Flint, Michigan amid the city's current water crisis.
