SMH at all the pleas being copped for Beyonce, talking bout Ms. Whiteny lip sang at the superbowl also and because of the cold and crowds and shit......
I can tell you what happen; Beyonce didn't have that throat, lungs or know how to go to the guts and blow in that atmosphere.
Bey have soul, and can be soulful at some times but SOUL SANGA she not and The Queen of Soul Re-Re was being nice to the youngin when she took off some of the heat that was coming Bey's way because the The Queen of Soul sang and blew the wigs and hats off of hers and the audience at the inauguration in 2009, was in the same type of weather and had a bigger audience so dont give me that shit about the crowd and cold. If that was the Late Great Etta James speaking, Etta would of dug in her ass and said The Bitch aint built for that type of shit.
The truth is Beyonce couldnt pulled it off and in terms of a soul sanger, soul vocalist, sanging from the guts, blowing type of shit, Bey is 3rd tier, 2nd at best.
Only the special one's of SOUL SANGAS could of pulled that off with no recorded shit, Queen of Soul Ri-Ri, Mahalia Jackson, Janis Joplin, Gladys Knight, Bessie Smith, to name a few would of pulled it off...
No knock against Bey but just being truthful
