Viewers are wondering why Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams' microphones were turned to a much lower volume than Beyonce's during their Destiny's Child reunion at the Superbowl.
Her spectacular half time Super Bowl show has been widely acclaimed by critics in a welcome blaze of good publicity following the recent lip syncing furore at President Obama's Inauguration.
And Beyonce was clearly determined to ensure her singing was well and truly heard by the watching millions, even if it meant overshadowing her Destiny's Child bandmates.
When Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland joined the star on stage for a medley of the band's hits, many fans complained they could not hear the duo's voices in contrast to Beyonce.
Forbes contributor Blue Carreon wrote: 'It was difficult to hear the vocals of Rowland and Williams, either because of the microphone volumes or the background music.'
CBS News added: 'Rowland and Williams were barely heard when the group sang Independent Woman, as their voices faded into the background.'
'Rowland and Williams' microphones seemed to be at a lower volume than their former groupmate's,' agreed Zap2It's Lauren Brown.
Some commentators claimed Williams's microphone wasn't working properly, while a Twitter row erupted when Keyshia Cole criticised Williams' performance.
'I think I was frightened to blink for a sec,' she wrote. 'Then Michell (sic) sung and woke my ass up from my daze! She always f*** the groove up.'
Twitter was abuzz with comments about the performance, along with jokes and comments about Michelle, who is seen by fans as being something of a 'third wheel' in the group.
'@MICHELLEWILLIAMS You better not ruin this moment for Beyonce and Kelly,' one fan wrote.
What happened to #KellyRowland & #MichelleWilliams Mics? Hmmm,' another tweeted.
E! commentator Marc Malkin added: 'I think Michelle and Kelly r p***ed their audio was so low that they cut the wires on their way out,' referring to the power cut which followed Beyonce's electrifying performance.
Several lights in the stadium went out for a few minutes before normal service was resumed between the San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens.
Michelle herself seemed immune to the furore, later tweeting: 'Had a great time w/my sisters tonight!! Tried to keep it a surprise!! Love you all...God bless!!'
The Ravens ended up winning the game by a score of 34 to 31.Jacked from The Daily Mail

Do you have to wonder why? Those two can outsing the bitch any day of the week. Even when having the flu.
It must be really slow in the recording industry if you are going to keep allowing yourself to be used by this female. What is the whole purpose of having all members of Destiny's Child if you are going to pull a stunt like that, at the Superbowl no less, so you can be in the forefront?
And the hate goes on and on.
Nobody cared about Kelly & Michelles singing, haters just want something to complain about.. My goodness don't people have other things to do than envy Beyonce?
Can't wait til July 15, love this woman.
Jason,
Kellys suck up ass can't outsing anybody.
If beyonce told Kelly to get on her hands and knees & lick her boots, the suck up flunky would do it. Shes needs to get and man & stop sucking up. SUCKUP BITCH!!
Thats why bey scooted her flunky ass off the stage before single ladies was finished. She probably can't stand the sight of that suck up.
They should be grateful beyonce let them perform with her in the first place
It was Beyonce's performance. She invited them to join her, I doubt her intention was to try to outshine them. They have been working on independent projects for years, she doesn't need to step on them to go up BECAUSE SHE IS ALREADY THERE!
Get over it people. Chances are their mics were not sinc'd to her level because she had the lead mic.
Boo, you guys are bitter catty bitches.
I can't believe Kelly and Michelle actually AGREED to dance to "single ladies", further proving how they truly are just Beyonce's back-up dancers/singers.
SMH....
Did Kelly finally take the oath? I've noticed she's been in a slew of features for the past few months.
Beyonce performance was just ok. it wasnt something to tweet over imo. Shidd, her special effects outshined her.On a side note, kelly and michelle need to find a backbone. It's SOOOO clear to everyone else that Beyonce dont really fuck w/ them like that. Kelly is the beta bitch/ player 2 ho in the group. Michelle is the non factor omega (lowest chick on the totem pole). Sometimes, its better to know when you're not appreciated and get gone. # self-respect > paycheck.
Kelly looks really nice and can actually sing. Just wish she would get away from the sex songs. Proud of her having a number hit, "Motivation", but she is so much better than that. She doesn't have to sell sex. Oh well....I guess.
OMG some of these comments are so harsh PPL forget that without the group there would be NO Bey. She was right to let them perform with her it makes her appear human and not so into herself. He Halogram clearly proved that. Ther always millions of images of her and never of someone else She should have did one of J or her daughter.DOn't dislike her I jsut think she is so over rated because of her looks
^^^^^^ why would you think she's overrated because of her looks? she nice looking, but damn so are alot of women..
People that don't like her will always find something negative to say...
People that LOVE her will always defend her faults.
Depending on the source, you are a "hater" or a "stan".
Beyonce needs Jesus. We ALL do.
bey "KING" is a man.... research hemaphordites in hollywood-------------> who is earl jackson jr? Wake up-- your being tricked. Step out the matrix and wake up.....why do you think she lies about everything ----pregnancy? History--- fake marriage ?? If I were a boy huh ............ do your research
kelly's thighs are looking better than beys
Truth.com,
You're pathetic.
Jealousy is a very painful emotion. Just try to do something with your life. Try to accomplish something Then some of the pain will go away.

Kelly thighs are implants. Beys are real & Kelly in Queen of suck ups
Shes the poster child for sucking up. I don't like people that suck up, its so very annoying and degrading.
I love Bey to pieces, but if I was Kelly and Michelle I would have told bey I was busy. Beyonce doesn't respect kelly because she sucks up too much.
Can't stand a flunky.
Of course there was something wrong with their microphones, that is how Beyonce operates. The sad part about the performance was that Kelly & Michelle were not allowed to shine, I did not see it as team reunion at all.
11:56, Bey wears butt pads, and has had her third nose job. Thighs are implants? Of course. Only a bey worshipper would think only bey2brazen can have a nice body. Kelendria is a beautiful young woman. What's wrong with someone paying her a compliment. Across the board, Kelendria has been getting compliment regarding her appearance. Let the girl be great.
Beyounce's face looks like the joker from batman in that pic IJS

Love Bey but,
They know how Beyonce operates, they've worked with her. If they wanna keep falling into her traps, its on them.
& its not Beyonces responsibility for Michelle and Kelly to SHINE. The show was put together for Bey to SHINE. & I don't believe Michelle really wanted to shine on Beyonces time. She probably only agreed to do the show because Kelly begged her in private.
Michelle seems very independent & happy with her own projects, while Kellys just a follower suck up. Just running behind Bey like a lost dog, not a best friend. Damn Kelly needs self respect where Bey is concerned. Bey is a Diva, she needs Kelly as a strong friend not a pet
kelly looked good
Don't believe the spambots -- they are paid to sway popular opinion ------- the truth will come out about Beyonce --- in fact it's already out--- people aren't dumb how could one be jealous of someone who is living a lie... there is no pain in the truth ------ wake up people---- these people aren't who they say they are-- do your research -- king bey is really a man, Kelly knows the truth also-- why do you think she keeps " falling" for Beyonce's "tricks" --- because it's all a lie ...... just think about it.

Kelly would be great if she wasn't a suck up. All celebrities get nose jobs. If you were a celebrity, you'd get one to.
& I don't worship Beyonce, I'm just a fan.
[Blind Gossip] Inside a green room at a recent big event. Three women, one man, all celebrities. Several relatives of one of the women were also in the room, along with a child or two, a couple of personal assistants and a few venue staffers. There was going to be a big audience, and nerves should have been riding high. But the three women were all remarkably calm. Two were sitting quietly chatting with each other. The third woman was texting someone on her cell phone. However, the man was not as calm. He was pacing back and forth, barking instructions at the third woman. He became angry that she wasn’t giving him her full attention, and he grabbed the mobile device out of her hands. He discovered that she was texting another man. He started going through all of her texts. His voice started out low and he was swearing: “You mother fkng b!tch!” As he scrolled through the texts, his voice got louder and louder until he was screaming at her. “YOU MOTHER F*CKING B!TCH!!! YOU MOTHER F*CKING BITCH!!!” The staffers looked nervously at each other, but no one else in the room seemed surprised by the outburst. No one moved to defend the third woman. Apparently, they didn’t need to, because she jumped up and got in his face and started yelling and swearing right back at the man! She tried to grab the phone back from him, but he pushed her away and continued going through the phone and screaming at her, pushing her away, berating her, and started calling her every derogatory name for a woman in the book. While it was shocking to the staffers that the two were going at each other so viciously, it was even more shocking to them that the two other women and the relatives and the personal assistants just sat there quietly the whole time, minding their own business through the screaming and the grabbing and the shoving! No one tried to shield the children from what was going on, and no one tried to intervene in the fight. They have known the woman since she was single, and they have known her as part of a couple. The controlling behavior and the physical altercation and the swearing were all apparently just routine to them! So, the next time you see this couple acting all sweet and loving and trusting and supportive and high class with each other in front of the cameras, know that it’s apparently a whole different story behind the scenes…
