The Super Bowl has always been testament to American competition, spectacle and one-upsmanship.  And Super Bowl 50 brought plenty of all three. 

Lady Gaga’s sparkly ensemble and operatic national anthem made for a unique and spangly start, however, the true competition was found on the field—and I’m not talking about the Denver Broncos beating the Carolina Panthers for the win.  Beyonce and Bruno Mars absolutely slayed during their halftime performance of the newly released black empowerment anthem “Formation” and 2015’s instant dance hit, “Uptown Funk.”

Oh yeah, Coldplay was there too.

Boy or girl, pink or blue, consider them things of the past!  In less than a week, entertainment has graced us with two phenomenal gender-bending performances.  First, Queen Latifah portrays the great and powerful Wiz in NBC’s fantastic live production of “The Wiz Live.”  Singing and dancing in a spectacular emerald green suit replete with bedazzled cape, Queen commanded the stage and dozens of fireballs!  Watch below!
