Beyonce: NFL Players Talk Favorite Songs, Singer Sizzles In Super Bowl Promo
With Beyoncé’s highly anticipated halftime show at the Super Bowl XLVII touching down in just four days, it’s safe to say anticipation is high.
Now, ahead of the event, various big name NFL players recently sat down to talk about their favorite Beyonce songs in a video posted on NFL’s website.
Running the full gamut of Beyonce’s four solo albums and her musical past as lead singer in Destiny’s Child, the players may not have remembered all the words but they knew what they liked.
First up was the Dallas Cowboy’s Jason Witten, who raved,“Every time Beyonce sings, I think it’s pretty amazing.”
Eric Berry of Kansas City Chiefs enthused,“You know she makes good music, she’s beautiful. Jay-Z, no offence to that.”
Duane Brown, Houston Texans’ offensive tackler, said, “She’s a heck of a singer and one of the best of our generation.”
Arizona Cardinals’ Duane Washington rated Dreamgirls anthem “Listen,” while Washington Redskins’ Lorenzo Alexander praised “Freakum Dress.”
Despite the best efforts of the New York Post and the Daily Star to fuel negative snark before Sunday, recently posted photos from Beyonce’s Tumblr appear to show the Houston native prepping for the show of her life.
According to Vanity Fair, Brian McCarthy, the league’s vice president of communications recently stepped up to deny reports of “diva-like demands,” saying:
“Beyonce and her team have been great to work with throughout this process … we have enjoyed her creativity, vision and spirit in putting on a great show that is truly a Super Bowl performance.”
