She emerged onstage wearing an all black leather outfit, singing lines from her R&B hit Love on Top. She then went into her debut single Crazy In Love, bringing some feminine spirit to the Superdome as she and her background dancers did the singer's signature booty-shaking dance. Beyonce surprised the crowd as she ripped off part of her shirt and skirt to reveal a daring leather and lace outfit designed by Rubin Singer. Her confidence - and voice - grew as she worked the stage with and without her Destiny's Child band mates during her 13-minute set, which comes days after she admitted she sang to a pre-recorded track at President Barack Obama's inauguration almost two weeks ago.  Beyonce finished her set with hit song Halo and asked the crowd to put their hands toward her as she sang the slow groove on bended knee. After the show, Beyonce posted a tribute to her fellow performers:"What a proud day for AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMEN!!!!! Kelly, Michelle, Alicia, Jhud. You are all beautiful, talented and showed so much class! It was an honour to perform at the Super Bowl with you phenomenal ladies. Love Beyonce."
