Beyoncé at the Super Bowl

February 3^rd is quickly approaching and I cannot wait. Although my team did not make it to the Super Bowl (Falcons #Rise Up), my favorite entertainer in the entire world will be present at the New OrleansMercedes-Benz Superdome—Beyoncé! Pairing Beyoncé at the Super Bowl is the best thing since sliced bread. Beyoncé’ is no stranger to performing at a Super Bowl game, but this is her first halftime performance. Beyoncé’ sang the national anthem at Super Bowl XXVIII in her hometown of Houston, Texas.

National Anthem Scandal

There is so much I can say about the scandal surrounding Beyoncé and her alleged choice to lip-sync at the Presidential Inauguration. I do not understand what the big deal is, especially since we know the woman can actually blow. For those who are unaware of the recent news surrounding King Bey, it was stated that during the Inauguration, what looked like a flawless performance of the National Anthem was in fact, a pre-recorded track. It has been noted that several singers use backup tracks when performing live outdoors and especially during cold weather. Since the scandal has been reported and confirmed, Michelle Williams, Beyoncé’s Destiny’s Child band mate, came to her rescue.

Will Beyoncé Lip-Sync at the Super Bowl?

Will Beyoncé lip-sync at the Super Bowl? This is both an excellent and irrelevant question to ask. No one really knows the answer to this question, other than Beyoncé and her camp, but I have seen Beyoncé live and she is awesome, pre-recorded tracks and all. Given the success rate of other performers who have decided to perform live at the Super Bowl half-time show, I think it would be fitting for her to have a pre-recorded track.

I am so excited and I will admit, I am only watching the Super Bowl for Beyoncé and the reported reunion of Destiny’s Child. Below are a few pictures of rehearsal for the show.

Out of Sync: Where Is Justin Timberlake?

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and a Happy New Year! I know it has been a while since I have written a post, but I promise it won’t be as long next time. So, I was listening to my iPod, on the way to work, when Justin Timberlake’s ‘Take it from Here’ started to play. That’s when I got inspiration for my blog post. I noticed I have been M.I.A. from you guys and Justin has been absent from us.

It has been seven years since the lead singer of N’Sync has released an album (Futuresex/Lovesounds was released in 2006). I am almost absolutely sure his fans are anticipating an album soon…I know I am! In between time, Justin has used his time wisely to venture into the ever-changing world of entertainment; He has found the time to create the William Rast clothing line, he has starred in several films, and he married his longtime girlfriend, Jessica Biel (unlucky me!). 

Future Sex/ Love Sounds (which is one of my favorite albums, by the way) was one of the best albums that catered to anyone who has a great appreciation for music.

While anticipating a new release from Mr. Timberlake, he decided to wet our palettes with a teaser video, which leads me to believe that he has an album up his sleeves.

 The video shows Timberlake walking through what looks like a nicely furnished bachelor pad while doing a voiceover. At the conclusion of the video, Justin is actually in a recording studio and as he is standing in the recording booth and he says two very exciting yet cryptic words—“I’m Ready.” Ready for what? I’m hoping the foreplay of words he graced us with is just a taste of what’s to come in the near future.
