A prediction I missed and wouldn’t have made Destiny’s Child “reunion” to make “new” album

Destiny’s Child has announced the release of “Nuclear,” the first new recording from the trio in eight years. The trio of Beyoncé, Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland is releasing “Destiny’s Child — Love Songs,” a compilation of mostly quiet “jams.” The album will include the release of the new song “Nuclear.” Reports are that Rowland and Williams will join Beyonce onstage for a Superbowl performance on February 3.

Actually... Remake of songs dating back to 1998! Why? One new track, “Nuclear” Questions arise as to whether or not they actually were together to record (technology makes it possible) Could it be?

Track List 1) Cater 2 U (2004 – Destiny Fulfilled) 2) Killing Time (1998 – Destiny’s Child) 3) Second Nature (1998 – Destiny’s Child) 4) Heaven (2002 – Simply Deep) 5) Now That She’s Gone (1999 – The Writing’s On The Wall) 6) Brown Eyes (2001 – Survivor) 7) If (2004 – Destiny Fulfilled) 8) Emotion (2001 – Survivor) 9) If You Leave (featuring Next) (1999 – The Writing’s On The Wall) 10) T­-Shirt (2004 – Destiny Fulfilled) 11) Temptation (1999 – The Writing’s On The Wall) 12) Say My Name (Timbaland remix) (2002 – This Is The Remix) 13) Love (2004 – Destiny Fulfilled) 14) Nuclear (2013 – Destiny’s Child – Love Songs)

Nuclear Called “Destiny’s Child -Love Songs,” a statement describes it as “a new career-spanning collection of the most sensual and romantic recordings.” The compilation features songs recorded between 1997 and 2004, but it’ll also feature a new song called “Nuclear.” Fans can pre-order now, and “Destiny’s Child — Love Songs” will arrive on January 29.

Is Beyonce full of herself? Does she deserve to be? GQ mag calls her: “Hottest Woman of the 21st Century” “I now know that, yes, I am powerful,” Beyonce said. “I’m more powerful than my mind can even digest and understand.”

You had you dreams And I had mine Eyes wide open And we dreamed together I never know how we keep Our s*** together Wondering Is this love or illusion We're just getting better When the two become one On a quantum level It's nuclear We're two here There's nowhere left to run Why run? Why would you run? It's nucler We're two here We both heat up Goin all the way (eh eh) Goin all the way (eh eh) Goin all the way (eh eh) Goin all the way (eh eh) You had your half And I had mine But now there's no such thing As you and me I was so used to feeling incomplete Wondering Is this Love or illusion We're just getting better When the two become one On a quantum level It's nuclear We're two here There's nowhere left to run Why run? Why would you run? It's nuclear We're two here We both heat up Goin all the way Anytime the climates change between us We share a bond they can't restrict That can't be touched So amazing super power Take over Never lose the energy It's nuclear We're two here There's nowhere left to run Why run? Why would you run? It's nuclear We're two here We both heat up Goin all the way (eh eh) Goin all the way (eh eh) Goin all the way (eh eh) Goin all the way (eh eh) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8zR11DD8dQ

Interesting Fact During the 2012 Super Bowl, Madonna’s performance was seen by 114 million people. This number is a higher average than the game itself, which was seen by an estimated 111.3 million people, according to the Nielsen Co. What is Nielsen Rating?

Of course, this wouldn’t be Beyoncé’s first time at the Super Bowl Of course, this wouldn’t be Beyoncé’s first time at the Super Bowl. She sang the National Anthem at XXXVII back in 2004. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_STtHvubO9I Do you think Beyoncé would put on a better show than Madonna, whose performance at last year’s Super Bowl created a whole mess of controversy thanks to a surprise middle finger from fellow performer M.I.A.? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_mJZP0OUI4
