I thought it was pretty good. I got Paparazzi VMA vibes.

But lol Joanne was such a mess. Hopefully she bounces back from that. Not sure where her career goes from here.

Hopefully she'll read the positive responses from tonight and realise that flopanne is not the trajectory she should be on.

Pure pop smashes > watered down country.

I didn't realize she actually jumped off the roof. I think the camera work could have been better on that.

Overall solid performance but not a classic like Madonna, Bruno Mars, or Prince.

I personally like Telephone but yeah if there wasn't going to be a secret Beyonce cameo then probably should have picked something else.

No Beyoncé felt like a missed opportunity, but it was actually refreshing seeing her do it all solo.

It would've been amazing to have them finally perform telephone together - they weren't even available at the same time for the telephone MV, so in almost every shot where they're together, they use body doubles with the other singer's head added in post.

Obviously tho with bey being pregnant with twins, it was unlikely. :p

Having Beyoncé show up during Telephone would have been so hype.

Otherwise is was quite good, thank god she didn't play fucking Perfect Illusion, Million Reasons is okay-ish. Wish she put Paparrazi in there because that's one of her best song but you can't have everything is a 15-ish minute set.

I laughed my ass off when she jumped and starting wriggling like a spider.

She's the man tho. All the props.

I'm disappointed she didn't perform John Wayne or A-YO, half of those songs are nearly a decade old.

I'm not gonna lie, she looked like the itsy bitsy spider on her way down from the roof. xD

Might've been a worst-case scenario thing - don't show her going down until it's confirmed she's not falling to her death

Its incredibly impressive to me that she can do all of the dancing and flips while singing without making a mistake. Lada Gaga must be a hamon master

Mad props for the jump and wire act. I can't think of too many pop stars that would do that, let alone live at the super bowl half time show.

The stuff on the roof with the drones, and then the jump was pre-recorded. Only the stuff after the jump was live.

So she didn't jump off the roof and that explains the disconnected cut.

I missed the giant shark mascots from Katy's performance.

The jump at the start was crazy. Otherwise very blah to me, at least she actually sang. Just not a very big fan of her music. Can we please bring Prince back to life so he can play it again?

Not a fan, but she is a fantastic performer who busted her ass to put on a amazing spectacle. Mad props to Gaga.

Was a pretty decent halftime. Even had my 80+ year old Grandfather comment on how good she was and that's pretty unique as he typically hates the halftime show and its music.

Impressive performance in terms of how active she is without lip syncing. The opening was a misfire lol, but overall not a bad show.

Prince easily still the goat

Wait, so if Gaga on the roof and her jump wasn't live then why did they show the retractable roof opening prior to her set, then it closing after her set?

Gotta keep up the illusion.

But she still descended from the top (or maybe lower if there was a hidden platform). The taping was mostly because of the uncertainty of the weather.

Simple, clean, classy Lady Gaga.

It was her real voice, the woman knows how to be entertaining on stage, beautiful voice and good songs.

Acrobatics, great costumes and dance moves, great choreography and sweet ending with her in a cute football shoulder pads and catching a football.

Is modest and thanks her parents while doing all of this.

9/10.
