Live Commentary: Beyonce's Super Bowl half-time show - as it happened

Last year's Super Bowl was watched by 111 million US TV viewers - but three million more tuned in to watch Madonna's half-time show.

This year's performance from Beyonce, aka the biggest popstar on the planet, could be even more spectacular. Will she sing live? Will Destiny's Child turn up? Will hubbie Jay-Z make a cameo?

Beyonce, never what you'd call a blabbermouth, has kept all the details a secret, so your guess is as good as ours... though it's a fairly safe bet that Alexandra Burke won't be playing a part. Hold tight and keep your fingers crossed for 'Halo'...

1.29amOK so I'm done now. If you want to abuse me for my "frantic excitement" during this live commentary, I'm @mrnicklevine on Twitter. I'll see you next year for Katy Perry's halftime show.

1.27amI would have liked 112 minutes including the full Freemasons club mix of 'Ring the Alarm', but I guess there is a football match to finish...

1.26amWhen I go to sleep tonight, I shall be dreaming of BeyoncÃ©, mainly hair and thighs tbh

1.24amIn related news, BeyoncÃ© just crashed Twitter.

1.23amIs anyone else slightly out of breath from watching that?

1.22amWhatever the result tonight, let's not forget the important thing... BeyoncÃ© reunited Destiny's Child and got them to sing 'Single Ladies'.

1.22amWell that was absolutely f**king incredible right?

1.21am"Thank you for this moment. God bless y'all."

1.21amHer hair is like a lion's mane... wow

1.21amThis is what is known in the business as "singing your tits off".

1.21am'Halo' sounds pretty good in a packed football stadium, no?

1.20amBeyonce is now doing 'Halo'. THIS IS NOT A DRILL

1.19am"Where my ring at?" Please try to drop this into conversation tomorrow.

1.19amBeyonce just have Kelly and Michelle a shout-out... pure class, no?

1.18amWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW

1.18amLET'S GET THE DESTINY'S CHILD VERSION OF SINGLE LADIES TO NUMBER ONE!!!

1.18amI reckon this is what Kelly wears on an average Sunday night to be honest

1.17am"Good morning Charlie..."

1.16amBeyonce just let Kelly stand in the middle That is true class.

1.16amINDEPENDENT WOMEN!

1.15amDestiny's Child are onstage and doing 'Bootylicious!'

1.15amK.RO KLAXON!

1.14amJay-Z must have the worst case of blueballs ever right now

1.14amOooh we're going retro with 'Baby Boy'... will we get a Sean Paul cameo?

1.13amSHIMMY KLAXON

1.13amAnd remember she is doing all of this IN HEELS

1.12amThis is End of Time from her incredible last album '4'.

1.11amBeyoncÃ© just did a slut-drop without even trying!

1.10amBeyoncÃ©'s thighs look like Olympic GOLD

1.09amBeyoncÃ© is writhing on the floor. This is the best writhing I have ever seen.

1.09amLOVE ON TOP!

1.08amI wish I was one of those running people!

1.08am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1.08amI MAY CRY

1.07amThis is what is technically known as "filler"... think track eight on a Destiny's Child album

1.06amOr yeah, maybe not just yet...

1.06amHERE WE GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

1.06amGod knows what Michelle Williams is on

1.05amOne minute thirty till BeyoncÃ©! Kelly Rowland has just knocked back a triple whisky for Dutch courage

1.04amBeyoncÃ© would look super hot in an American football costume, no?

1.03amFour minutes till BeyoncÃ©!!!

1.02amDo you remember the first time you heard 'Crazy in Love'? I was driving in Wales and nearly CRASHED MY CAR

1.00amReally craving a bit of 'Deja Vu' now TBH

12.59amI'll tell you who won't be watching the halftime show... LeToya Luckett

12.57am"And that closes out the half..."

12.56amOH HURRY UP WE WANT TO HEAR LOVE ON TOP

12.54amWell done to everyone in the UK for staying up for the halftime show. If you're a bit shonky at work tomorrow, I hope you have understanding bosses. "I know, I know, it was BeyoncÃ©..."

12.52amTBQH I'm not being asked to do this again next year...

12.51amI think if I could watch B's halftime show with anyone in the whole world, it would be Solange.

12.49amOh yeah, and singing at the same time too

12.48amDo you know what true athleticism is? Doing the 'Single Ladies' routine IN HEELS

12.45amMemo from the boss: "DON'T MENTION THE PLAYERS' BULGES!"

12.43amCan anyone else hear 'Halo' in the background? IS IT A HINT?!

12.41amWe are now in a "time out", which is like a dance break, but without the dancing, and less fun :-(

12.40amGET ON WITH IT BEYONCE IS WAITING

12.37amTime in New Orleans is 6.37pm so Blue Ivy should still be awake to watch the halftime show. "Today mommy's gonna play the Super Bowl..."

12.34amBeyoncÃ©'s halftime show will last just 12 MINUTES, which means she's going to have to be ruthless with song selection. If Destiny's Child are making an appearance, K.Ro and Michelle are going to get 3 minutes max.

12.31amI have just been told off for linking to a picture of Alexandra Burke...

12.29amSo far the Super Bowl reminds me a lot of THIS: http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/yy241/celebritybug/mbiw69.jpg

12.25amSo apparently it's around 30 minutes until BEYONCE O'CLOCK. I am drinking a vodka diet coke and feeling kind of guilty about it.
