She brought the house down -- and some joked, took out the power. Superstar Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show dazzled the crowd even before the singer reunited onstage with her hit 1990s R&B group, Destiny's Child.

The Superdome crowd started roaring from the moment Beyonce appeared, clad in black leather and heels and soon flanked by an army of dress-alike dancers.

She lit up the arena, performing a medley of her solo hits (including "Love on Top" and "Baby Boy") and completely erasing any of the pre-game fuss about lip-synching.  And then, as rumored, her fellow Destiny's Child members Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland seemingly levitated up from underground and appeared on the stage with the band's most famous former member.

"Give it up for Destiny's Child, y'all!" Beyonce called to the screaming audience as Williams and Rowland appeared.

Rowland, Williams and Beyonce performed "Bootylicious" and "Independent Women," which were huge Destiny's Child hits, and then Williams and Rowland joined Beyonce for her crowd-pleasing solo hit, "Single Ladies."

Destiny's Child, founded in 1990, sold more than 500 million records. The group broke up in 2006, with all members pursuing solo careers, Beyonce becoming the most successful.

Shortly after the game resumed after the halftime show, part of the lights went out at the Superdome, leading to plenty of online jokes that it was Beyonce's powerful performance that caused the problem.

"Superdome couldn't handle #Beyonce ... Lights out!" tweeted journalist Paula Froelich.

"Can't they just play the game by the light of Beyonce's radiance?" tweeted former "Mystery Science Theater 3000" cast member Josh Weinstein.

Back in the day ... Destiny's Child, from left, Kelly Rowland, Beyonce and Michelle Williams, at the 28th Annual American Music Awards on Jan. 8, 2001.

Destiny's Child fans have a new reason to say their name: the group, comprised of Beyonce, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, is reuniting for the first time since splitting up in 2005. "We are so proud to announce the first original Destiny's Child music in eight years!" the group announced on their Facebook page Thursday.

On Jan. 29, they'll release "Love Songs," a collection comprised "mainly of romantic gems recorded between 1997 and 2004," according to their website. On the album will also be a brand new track, "Nuclear," the first new recording since 2004. Give it a listen below.

Now that there's music on the horizon, the next logical question is WHEN WILL THEY PERFORM. There's no official word yet, but the rumor du jour is that Beyonce's Super Bowl performance might be a great opportunity. According to Rolling Stone, Beyonce will open the show, then she'll be joined by Williams and Rowland to singe a Destiny's Child medley and their new song, then Beyonce would close the show. Naturally, no one within the Destiny's Child camp has any comment on this. Stay tuned.
