Rochester Woman Headed to Superbowl Halftime Show

More than a hundred million people are expected to watch the Superbowl half-time show as Beyonce takes the stage.

And a Rochester woman will be performing alongside the superstar.

"This is one day right here. This was all about the face," said Mariah English, contest winner.

20-year old Mariah English has an eye for fashion and fun.

"One eye closed, one eye open with glasses on," said English, as she described her photographs.

Mariah's theme - a pop-art style. She did the makeup and the camera work.

"And I just jumped right on it. What see Beyonce? Yes!" said English.

She posted her pictures online for Pepsi's Halftime Show contest.

Thousands of people entered but only 50 were chosen.

After a couple weeks, Mariah got the call of her dreams -- to perform with her inspiration, Beyonce.

"I was just speechless and a few hours later I am like I am going to New Orleans. I was just so happy," said English.

Mariah says she is not a dancer but was a cheerleader at Wilson Magnet.

She hopes that helps her shine before the national audience.

"Dance with her that would be really cool Like so everybody could see me and her side by side that would be like amazing!!!" said English excitedly.

Mariah is studying fashion merchandising and would love to be a celebrity stylist.
She looks up to Beyonce.

"I just love her persona , who she is how she carries herself," said English.

She doesn't know if or when she'll get to meet the superstar.

"It's amazing, it is really amazing. Like I feel so blessed," said English.

But her bag is almost packed and she'll be at the dress rehearsals starting on Thursday.
