I just wondered what it was like with Beyonce singing the Anthem? We didn't get to see any of it here and I imagine with all her wharbling and trilling and vocal acrobatics, it would have been like when Bleeding Gums Murphy sang it on the Simpson and it lasted four hours.
Yeah... she was great. I mean... the lip-sync'd the whole thing, but it sounded great. And she was wearing a very classy white suit.
See... they should have just let all the Texas folk do the halftime show - woulda turned out much better. Josh Groban was awesome, too. He sang with a choir of local kids (a few of whom I know ).
The Lip-sync would have been mandated by CBS. It's pretty standard for big, crucial events like that. She did a GREAT job, though... you couldn't tell without knowing what to look for.
THE BOOTY FOR BOOTYLICIOUS Feb 6 2004
With Lee-Ann Fullerton And Beverley Lyons
BEY ONCE has become the latest diva to make a list of extraordinary dressing room demands.
The bootylicous star insisted organisers of America's Superbowl meet her personal requirements before she would agree to perform at the prestigious event.
The southern beauty sang the national anthem before the kickoff of the game, but backstage she had a list of ' riders' to keep her and her entourage happy.
The normally unaffected star insisted on a VIP dressing room with a constant temperature of 78 degrees to keep her warm. It also had to be big enough for eight people, have a large table covered with a white cloth and comfortable sofas and chairs for her, her hair stylist, make-up artist and friends.
She also demanded a private bathroom that was ''cleaned with disinfectant and anti-bacterial agents'' and had a ''minimum of four brand-new towels''.
Her favourite fast food, fried chicken, had to be available at all times and she insisted it was only the Juicy Baked Chicken brand, with the legs, wings and breast.
The chicken also had to be seasoned to her personal taste with ''fresh garlic, season, salt, black pepper and Cayenne pepper''.
And it didn't stop there. Her lucrative sponsorship deal with Pepsi meant only their products were allowed anywhere near the areas wheres he or her entourage might be photographed.
But Beyonce is not the worst celebrity for outrageous demands.
Mariah Carey is famous for asking for a special attendant in her dressing room to hand her towels.
And Jennifer Lopez insists her bed sheets in her hotel are 100 percent Egyptian cotton with at least 250 threads.
