Beyonce gets a split vote from the country star crowd
Well, that’s not exactly true. Most of the country stars who weighed in on Twitter during the Super Bowl Sunday (Feb. 3) really liked pop star Beyonce’s halftime show.
Carrie Underwood tweeted: “and @Beyonce just made all the rest of us singers look stupid! In the most awesome way possible! Way to work it! #BestEverHalftimeShow”
And Charles Kelley of Lady Antebellum tweeted, “@beyonce was so bootylicious that she knocked the power out at the #SuperBowl”
And then, there’s Joe Bonsall of The Oak Ridge Boys, who suggested that Beyonce should giddy up (omm poppa omm poppa mow mow) out of the stadium.
“Beyonce? Did what she does….. did it well,” Joe tweeted. “I just do not like THAT kind of Pop music sound very much. Getting old I guess..”
