It was as if he decided, "I'm gonna play some guitar today,"....and boy did he ever!
Even if it was a "greatest hits" gig....they all are anymore.

(41,991 posts)I'm soso on Madonna but the woman is a hell of a smart performer. She did great and had enough current star power to pique more interest. But did I hear a little "don't give a shit" slip there once, but the only woman whose name I can't recall? Not Nikki Minaj, the other one.
Great halftime entertainment.

This was one of those times.

(21,551 posts)Strangely they never showed a close-up of Madonna or had her sing very long by herself. It was a huge production and had excellent dancers with great moves, nice lighting and effects, good moments for other singers, good song selection, no boring parts... overall it was a huge improvement over last year's show.

(12,132 posts)that always makes me smile...but I didn't think it was a very energetic show at all. I've seen Madonna be much better than that - dancing was dull and she sounded weak to me and I woulda' bet on every syllable being lip synced. (I'll defer to the experts though - I'm certainly not).
That was the first time I've heard the new song and I didn't care for it but I liked the other songs she selected.
Prince and Tom Petty are my faves from recent years. I wanted the Who to kill it but they just don't sound right without the Ox.
At any rate, Unexceptional Madonna was still better than total failure Black Eyed Peas.

(59,440 posts)I took a peek at the freeper board. Some of them really, really hate her:
What a no talent hack. I can't believe that they hired her for such a gig
The show was hideous.
Not sure if I was seeing things, but did I see that one black chick in that one song look right at the camera and flip the bird?
I thought she was going to really homo the thing up and prance around in her underwear, but it was timid compared to what I thought it would be.
She moves pretty good for a 70 year old.
I thought she is holding up well for an 85 year old man.
Madonna is and always has been a talentless whore.
before understood who she was mocking, I started calling her McDonna, because I thought she was simply a shameless whore.
Shes a hideous woman.
i would have like to see her tumble big time She is another America hating bedwetting liberal f stick

(27,677 posts)Sexism, racism and homophobia all in a thread discussing the Super Bowl half-time show. I've always been more or less indifferent towards Madonna but those comments make me love her.

(34,476 posts)Don't they love the 1-percenters? She has more money and power than a lot of them. And she didn't inherit it.
siligut
(12,272 posts)But she is a librul, the Kabbahla isn't Christian and she is adored by millions. So there you go, Madonna is practically the anti-christ.
Must truly suck to be them. They hate everything.
All of that hatred over a halftime show? Because she made some anti-war comments? Because she was not a fan of the Bush Administration? Seriously, what is wrong with these people?

alphafemale
(18,497 posts)Yeah. She hires some gorgeous dancers.
We've seen this.
Was everyone who's actually made a new song in the past twenty something years or so booked?
Like a Prayer was cutting edge "She Kissed A Black Man!" On TV! What was that 1988?
HappyMe
(20,277 posts)The part that stuck out like a sore thumb was the cheerleaders. The best was Like A Prayer.
I heard that in a pre-game press conference she said that she 'couldn't be more nervous'.
