Madonna at the Super Bowl — Page 5

Looked great! Of course she had to lip-synch, but she might have had more live vocals on the arena's sound system compared to our TV's. I didn't like the Vogue remix, but I liked the song choice and that entrance. Wow! I like Music, but having LMFAO there and remixing it so much was a tad ridiculous. I am still unsure about the new song, but give me a good drum beat and Nicki Minaj and I'm sold. M.I.A. really didn't deserve the controversy, it was not a big deal at all. I thought the segue from drums in to Like A Prayer was odd. I liked Like A Prayer, but I didn't get why Cee Lo was there.

If I was her, I would have added Ray of Light, Hung Up, and/or 4 Minutes (so she could have brought out Justin). She could have done something older to, like Lucky Star, Burning Up, or even Material Girl. But she looked great and it was a great show.

Who should be the next halftime show artist? I'm pulling for Pink, Britney, or Gaga. Pink is a great performer, Britney is universally loved/has a huge repertoire of hits, and Gaga is this generation's Madonna.

"Yeah, her "Oh, Mickey, you're so fine" moment was really odd. Did she choose that because she was at a football game?"

She was a cheerleader in high school. And there was no faux accent while she was here in the (home turf) Midwest.

Well some have pointed out how similar Madonna's pompom moment was to Kylie Mingoeu's of a few years back (a concert Madonna was spotted at in several dates)--as was of course the whole Grecian Gods/gladiator element. Because you know Madonna invented Greek mythology.

"She could have brought out Justin"

That worked really well for Janet Jackson.

Jay, I knew there was a reason I liked you :P

And yes, that statement about the finger is beyond hypocritical. Madonna, right around the point she started playing the guitar suddenly was all about shouting "**** you" and flipping the bird at audience members. It's honestly always kinda bugged me because it has no context and yet many fans lap it up and cheer all the louder when she does.

I never thought any of the "F*** you, motherf***ers", etc. was directed at the fans. All of that sort of thing seemed clearly aimed at her critics/haters or to be "punk rock and everything" which indeed makes her comment about MIA hypocritical. She's lucky she got MIA to dance around like a cheerleader at all.

Regardless, that was a fantastic half-time show and hopefully the album will be great. I don't hate the new song, but I agree it's a bit fluffy.

And to be clear: it's a nice sized banana. :)

The difference is Namo that on her tours it's her show, her fans, her rules. She can do what she likes. The Superbowl is a different story, she clearly made a point of keeping the show safe for the family and as she said in her interview she saw the show and the night all been very positive, it was kinda un needed.

That was a fun parody! And U is fine!

There's a really good interview with Madonna in The Advocate, in which she actually discusses the drift away from her entwined relationship with the gay community.

I like how she comes across in the interview, although I still get a little riled about her attraction to women who flirt with fascism while claiming she knows nothing about them when making (or wanting to make) a movie about them.

Also, she needs to learn to regulate her negativity toward pop stars she sees as a threat.
