The worst kept secret in New Orleans was that Destiny’s Child would re-unite for Halftime… and they did.  There were a ton of light effects, lots of dancing which included all female back up dancers- She sang a melody of her hits- Single Ladies, Baby Boy Crazy in Love, - Then Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams came onto stage and sang Bootylicious- There was a lot of speculation that it was Beyonce’s set that caused the power outage- but Philip Allison, a spokesman for Entergy New Orleans, told the Associated Press that all the feeds into the Superdome were operating as expected and that the blackout was most probably the result of improperly maintained equipment at the venue- So Beyonce’s shakin’ had nothing to do with it. Pics of Beyonce's show here.

 The one act that silenced the Superdome last night was when 26 children from Sandy Hook Elementary school teamed up with Jennifer Hudson to perform America the Beautiful at the start of the game.  A statement was released on behalf of the school saying "We have come to New Orleans to represent the Sandy Hook Family and the community of Newtown, Connecticut, our wish is to demonstrate to America and the world that, `We are Sandy Hook and We Choose Love."'

 The big surprise concert at the Super Bowl came at Mark Cuban’s DirecTV’s pre-game party on Saturday night-Justin Timberlake brought Sexyback performing in a black tie tux.  It was his first show in five years.  He was backed by a 10-piece band, played for 90 minutes and pulled out all the stops by bringing out Jay Z to perform their new single Suit & Tie off his upcoming album, The 20/20 Experience, and Timbaland for their classic hit SexyBack.  Everybody was there from Sir Paul McCartney, John Legend, Sofia Vergara to watch the come back.  He’ll also be performing this Sunday at the Grammys. More here.
