Beyonce's Controversial Performance

With the Super Bowl still fresh in everyone's minds, the halftime show stands out particularity. The performance of the new single "Formation" by Beyonce is turning the world upside down. This years' halftime show was action-packed and lively with appearances From Coldplay, Bruno Mars, and the star of the show Beyonce. Many people, after hearing this song recognize that this song touches on a lot of the recent political controversies with African-Americans. This being said, people are speaking out and saying Beyonce chose the wrong place and wrong time to perform this song.

So is Beyonce wrong for performing her new single "Formation"?. In my opinion, I don't think so. Here's why, during the Super Bowl the majority of viewers are more focused on the game or on the newest commercials than anything else. Personally I did watch the game in its entirety, halftime show and all, and I found nothing wrong with the performance. Beyonce's performance did exactly what it was supposed to do, and that was to entertain. The formation her background dancers made and the synchronized choreography is what was able to draw the viewers attention. Me personally I experienced trouble even making out all of the words to the song. This leads me to believe that, that is exactly why all of the controversy about this song came out after the Super Bowl. All it is, is reporters looking for a good story, and hey they got it! Beyonce did her job to entertain and the media is doing there job to make claims.
