Cee Lo just barely saved this thing.

Just like to take this opportunity on behalf of the UK to thank America for taking Piers off our hands.

We won't forget your sacrifice.

He really is a miserable little cretin, isn't he. Just vile.

How many times have you been properly in love?

It was actually decent

Gaga's Edge of Glory director has some things to say

JosephKahn Joseph Kahn
MADONNA just bitch slapped anyone who would claim her throne.

JosephKahn Joseph Kahn
MADONNA does not trip. The earth forgot its cue.

 

[Cynosure]

I have an army:
We have a Hulk.

I would have picked Gaga for hulk, but yours works too

RuPaul tweets again:

"#Madonna. Shante. U Stay. Condragulations!

Is there going to be a The Voice thread?

 

[VGChampion]

Just a re-post of my mini facebook-rant:


I see nothing wrong with Madonna's halftime performance... what would people rather see? Try to keep in mind all the demographics that have to be appeased, the necessity for the artist to be recognizable by people of all ages, A need to avoid controversial artists, and the requirement that the musician makes mind-numbingly pop-ish music so that you don't depress a stadium full of 90,000 people trying to have a good time. After considering what the NFL has to, who could realistically go on that stage and be a hands-down better choice?

I don't know, that's a really awkward thing to post on Facebook. Maybe I just have a different style of friends. :/

Dat super soldier serum leak.

Eh, there was a wall of posts about how awful Madonna was and even preemptive posts about how bad of a choice Madonna is. I very rarely make rant-y types of posts though. They get old reeeeal quick.


edit- what kind of things would you typically post? Just curious to see where you're coming from.

this is actually really freakin cool

 

[Souldriver]

Seeing it again, it makes my head hurt thinking of how insane the amount of choreography, timed camera angles, technical details, ... must've gone into a show like this.

 

[BowieZ]

If it takes the lowest denominator to get a "world peace" reminder out there, so be it.

Fox uses him for soccer analysis. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

 

[PSGames]

The Queen of Pop shat on all your faves careers in under 12 min.

lol It wasn't really a performance though man. No singing and hardly any dancing. Despite the ending this halftime was much better: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jW97CWfeWdY

 

[tino]

Oops, wrong thread.

 

[RobotChant]

That was the most controversial part.

This was playing in my head during the show:

[Deleted member 30609]

The stroking of the phallic trophy is getting me excited.

Edit: this is the weirdest thing I have ever seen

 

[cordonbleu]

Truly was a spectacular performance.. A visual feast for the eyes performed by an obviously happy entertainer who knows very well how to put on a show stopping extravaganza!

Bring on the WORLD Tour (World includes Australia and NZ Madonna ) ;-)

I was just thinking how weird it was.

And what on Earth are they standing in? They need Madonna's stage back.

 

[mr_nothin]

Fuck Metallica
Yea I said it. They would ruin the SuperBowl

 

[DECK'ARD]

Fuck Metallica

They'd bring out Lou Reed and clear the stadium.

She's my mom's age, but I would still wreck her.

That said, she was probably already wrecked in the early 80s.

 

[royalan]

Is there going to be a The Voice thread?

I can whip up an OT if nobody is doing it. Never done one before though...

 

[riceckr]

I think I saw 2 guys kiss on the same place. uh oh

HEY who let that random filipino dude kiss the trophy.

 

[enzo_gt]

Incredible.

 

[h1nch]

I actually enjoyed that halftime show. Much better than last year.


...still not as good as Prince in 2007.

 

[Crumpet Trumpet]

Go for it!


it's about to start :O

My man.

 

[The Power Of Snap]

Don't be ridiculous, Minogue's don't play stadiums.

Madonna's stealing miss Kylie's style again.

 

[Dr. Malik]

Yes, do it

 

[MIMIC]

CAN GET IT. EVERY LAST ONE

Spoiler

Gaga can film

 

[royalan]

It's here

Don't judge too harshly. I rushed it out to try and beat the premier.

 

[Zee-Row]

MIA comes off as an ungrateful bitch. She didn't even belong at the halftime show.

 

[y2dvd]

Asides from the early off lip-snyching, it was actually a pretty entertaining halftime. Way better than last year. Prince still is halftime show GOAT.

And this was even better

HE SANG PURPLE RAIN IN THE RAIN!!!

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Would have been impressive if the singer actually sung.

Tom Petty was the best in recent memory by far.

 

[Barrett2]

I thought it was pretty entertaining compared to most half-time shows. Madge still got it...

Of course she's lip syncing, the woman is in her 50s!!

 

[IceCold]

And this was even better

At least post the good quality version:

A lot of rock bands are that age or older and their singers sing live.

Some sound halfway decent as well.

I couldn't care less. Pop singers like Madonna don't write their own music or play instruments. Her entire schtick is based around a performance, to compare her to a "rock group" is to miss the point so completely.

Hey y'all, I like Sigur Ross more than Rihanna. Let's talk about that...

 

[FateBreaker]

She was amazing, and it was way better than most half-time performances I've seen.

 

[ElectricBlue187]

the part where she flashed the camera with the 50 yo vag on the empty bleachers and nearly fell down I thought "this thing is going off the rails" but then Cee Lo came on and saved it from certain doom

My country is blocked. On copyright grounds. Those are the worst grounds.

You just admitted they aren't real singers, hahahaha.

Funny, I thought musical artists that made their livelihoods mainly by singing would sing live.

I guess she's in the Circus Soleil genre.

I expected singing from a singer.

I doubt she made albums for people to look at the art inside.

You think you're blowing anyone's minds by pointing out that 50 year old Ms. Ciccone is lip singing? No shit. I think it's pretty obvious that the only people who would even think she would do anything other than lip syncing don't really understand how this stuff works.

She's not a band, she's not a singer-songwriter. She's a 50yr old woman who'se entire career has been more about her performance than her voice. No shit she lip syncs. Do you know who Madonna is?

I read how nervous she was about the gig.

Nervous about what???

Doing carthweels into some beefhead's lap????

Choreography is part of these "artists'" deal but I laugh at people that put up with live shows that aren't exactly live.

Age is not an excuse either.

I guess it's the Britney Spears generation though.

To each their own.
