Super Bowl Halftime Showdown: Whose Was Best -- Beyonce or Madonna?

Beyonce's show-stopping Super Bowl halftime show is already gaining buzz as one of the best performances in recent history.

During the Feb. 3 show, Queen B sang many of her biggest hits, including "Crazy in Love," and even surprised the crowd -- and millions of television viewers -- by bringing out Destiny's Child members Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams.

In re-living Beyonce's performance, we can't help but look back to last year, when a voguing Madonna owned the stage. Madge also performed hits from her legendary repertoire, recruiting special guests like Nicki Minaj and Cee Lo Green.
While Madonna's show (complete with Roman soldiers) showed the Material Girl can still hold her own with the best of 'em, Beyonce's pyrotechnic performance is getting rave reviews. Compare the two powerhouse performances in the videos below and tweet us your fave pick @aolmusic!

I'm not a Beyonce fan but I appreciate her halftime performance. But for me, I still go with Madonna. She's one great performer.

Beyonce is the Queen. Madonna fell on the bleachers and jumped on LMAO's head. Madonna has nothing on Beyonce.

Madonna is the Queen! The show itself from the entrance with soldiers to the end (disappearing after Like A Prayer) was just epic! Beyonce gave a solid show too but I like Madonna's show better.

Madonna cannot be compared..She is the ultimate pop icon who can put together mega shows that noone else can. She is the absolute performer. Beyonce was ok but just that..

Madonna was better.. I actually went to go get drinks during Beyonce's because it was so anti-climactic.
