Rap-Up.com || Beyoncé Rehearses for Super Bowl Halftime Show

While the Ravens prepare to take on the 49ers at Super Bowl XLVII, Beyoncé is also getting ready for her big day on the field. Following her much-talked-about performance of the National Anthem at President Obama’s inauguration, pop’s MVP jetted to New Orleans to start rehearsals for her halftime show. Bey posted photos of what appear to be rehearsals for her performance at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans on February 3.

Us Weekly reports that she will kick off her set with her smash “Crazy in Love” (Will we see a Jay-Z cameo?). Midway through, she’ll be joined by her fellow Destiny’s Child divas Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams for a medley of their biggest hits including “Bills, Bills, Bills,” “Survivor,” and their new track “Nuclear.”

And while there is still debate whether Bey sang live at the inauguration, those close to the superstar are speaking up. “She did sing,” a source tells Us. “There was a [pre-recorded] track, but Bey sang 100 percent.”

Michelle Williams also defended her bandmate’s honor. “I love her so much. I know what she possesses,” she told “Good Morning America.” “That was such a big moment for her and I just wish people would just let it go and just continue to look for what she’s going to be bringing for ya’ll in the future.”

One thing’s for sure… All eyes will be on Bey come Super Bowl Sunday.

Fakeyonce will deliver with your lip syncing performance! Much respect to the producing musical engineer behind her sound board.

FLopyounce needs an engineer to cue her fake vocals.

@aliciasahomewrecka, why suddenly there is a lot of haters of Beyoncé? She is so nice, humble and smart, and she is one of the best dancers and singer of this times.

She better rehearse ’cause she’s going to need every bit of that practice. She doesn’t need anymore controversy. Like Aretha said, “She did wonderful with the pre-record.” lmfao

@Ursula, Can you read? What does the article of this headline say? And trust, whether she practices a little or a lot, she’ll still be heads and shoulders ahead of your fave. Thanks for playing, though. You can try again later.

@Kalin, Girl Bye. Rehearsal is everything. She doesn’t want another major flop like the NA at the inauguration so she’s making sure she’s prepped. You should be happy she’s practicing.

@Ursula, BITCH DIE A SLOW PAINFUL DEATH! MAJOR FLOP? BEYONCE? NEVER, EVER THAT! GUESS WHAT … LIVE OR PRERECORDED, HER VOICE IS FLAWLESS. THIS WOMAN ALSWAYS PUT IN WORK WHEN IT COMES TO PREPPING FOR SHOWS, THAT’S WHY SHE CAN MAKE IT THROUGH A 2 HR CONCERT WITHOUT LOOSING HER BREATH WHILE SOME OF THESE OTHER “ARTISTS” CAN’T MAKE IT THROUGH A 2 MINUTE SONG! BUT I LOVE HOW YOU TROLL EVERY BEYONCE POST COMMENTING, WE KNOW YOU’RE A FAN YOU SAD, PATHETIC, LONELY, LOOSING AS*HOLE!

in all honesty I hope she uses the pre recording again. Superbowl is just to big of a deal to slip up. We all know she can sing her ass off, who doesnt know that been living under some rock but there is ZERO room for errors at the superbowl.

@BEDSTUYFLY, I NEED AND THE MEDIA TO LOOK UP THE WORD LIP SYNCING. TO LIP SYNC IS TO MANIPULATE SOMEONE ELSE’S VOICE IN AN ATTEMPT TO SELL IT AS YOUR OWN A’LA MILLI VANILLI. IF ANYTHING, THERE WAS A PRE RECORDED TRACK WHICH SEVERAL MUSIC AFICIONADOS HAVE REVIEWED THE PERFORMANCE AND STATED THAT WHILE THERE WAS A PRERECORDED TRACK, SHE ALSO SANG LIVE ALONG TO IT. AND FOR YOU HATERS … WHITNEY HOUSTON’S NA @ THE SUPERBROWL WAS PRERECORDED, ALICIA’S NA FOR THE UPCOMING SUPERBOWL WILL BE PRERECORED. IT’S DONE AS A PRECAUTION BUT NO HUMAN CAN ACCOUNT FOR LAST MINUTE CONDITIONS. I’M SORRY, HOW WAS SHE EXPOSED? IT WAS STILL HER VOICE WHICH LIVE OR PRERECORDED IS FLAWLESS. AND I AS A FAN DON’T LOOK FOR HER TO BE PERFECT, I LOOK FOR HER TO BE BEYONCE. AN ENTERTAINER THAT RELEASES GOOD MUSIC AND STELLAR PERFORMANCES WHEN SHE’S ON A STAGE AND GUESS WHAT … SHE DELIVERS TIME AFTER TIME AFTER TIME!

I really don’t get why they would perform an unknown song like ‘Nuclear’. Do ‘Emotions’ if you’re gonna get chill for a minute during this performance. If I were them I’d do “Say My Name”, “Surivor”, and “Emotions”. Maybe “Bootylicious’ just for all the ratchets to enjoy themselves for a minute.
