What lip-syncing scandal? With her fiery Super Bowl 2013 halftime performance, Beyonce reminded us why we call her Queen Bey. On Twitter, fans and critics alike gushed about her electrifying show, the much-anticipated Destiny's Child reunion, and her revealing black leather and lace corset.
Here are some of the Twitter highlights:
"That left our hearts pounding and our palms sweaty. Long live Queen B, always and forever. #beyoncebowl." - @marieclaire
"I wish this game was as good as the half time show was..." - @DustinGardner
"I think I just pulled a muscle trying to recreate #beyoncebowl in my living room." - @reducedfatgirl.
And plenty of celebrities joined in the Twitter love fest. "Yes, B. Yes. Roasted that...#KINGBEY," Justin Timberlake tweeted.
Kim Kardashian tweeted, "OMG Beyonce killed it!!! And when Destiny's Child came out...that made my life! #bootylicious."

Even Michelle Obama chimed in: "Watching the #SuperBowl with family & friends. @Behonce was phenomenal! I am so proud of her! -mo."
Critics gave Beyonce's performance overwhelmingy positive reviews. "Live, she was dead-on," said USA Today's Jerry Shriver. "The force of nature that is Beyonce answered any and all questions about her commitment to authenticity with a dynamic Super Bowl XLVII halftime performance that apparently sucked all of the power out of the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans." (Referring to the stadium power outage that momentarily paused the game in the second half).
Beyonce "took center stage in New Orleans to shut everybody up," said the LA Times' Randall Roberts. "She did---at least those who doubted her skills as a live singer and performer."
