The only thing that is perhaps more anxiously awaited for than the actual Super Bowl itself is the Super Bowl halftime. If you don’t believe us, consider that while 116 million watched Madonna during last year’s Super Bowl, but only 111.3 million watched the actual game. So, what can you expect from this year’s halftime?

Beyonce has been promoted as the biggest star of the halftime show this year, but she’s bringing back some dynamite ladies with her. Yes, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams will take the stage with Beyonce, marking the day that Destiny’s Child came back! And in fine form, too. They won’t be relying on tired old classics to keep audiences amused (although you can bet that some of their biggest hits will be in there, too.) But they’ve also recently released “Nuclear,” which they’re planning on debuting live at the Super Bowl.

But all of that on-stage action actually comes after another big act will have already taken the stage. That would be Alicia Keys, who will be taking on the other biggest musical job of the day – delivering the national anthem. But is there a chance that this is going to be one of “those” anthems, that leaves us all talking for weeks afterwards? Well, Keys may not mess up the words to the biggest song in the country, but she is planning on putting her own spin on it.

“Oh my goodness, being able to do the national anthem and actually set the whole game off is a dream come true! It’s really exciting,” gushed the singer to MTV. “It’s a historical moment that day, so I’m looking forward to really doing it in my style and my way, and I’m looking forward to making it really great.”

Both Alicia and Beyonce have both already gone down in the history books, and both just this past week. While Beyonce belted out a gorgeous “Star Spangled Banner” at President Obama’s inauguration, Keys later did a rendition of her song, “Girl on Fire,” to which she changed the words to “Obama’s on Fire.”
