It was meh. She is capable of so much more.
Katy and Bey did better.

lol at the "meh" responses. She jumped from the roof of a stadium, proceeded to do some acrobatics, ran back and forth across most of the field, played the piano, played the keytar, danced throughout - all while singing live (pop + country) and staying on key. And then ends her performances by dropping the mic, and catching a football as she falls a couple of stories high. That's one versatile and talented person

Uhhh. I don't think this turned out looking as cool as she wanted it to...

The opening was also pre recorded from what I can tell from videos taken at the venue... so she didn't actually jump.
Yeah. lol
No stage presence, clumsy choreo, singing lyrics in a weird accent, always looked uncomfortable except when sitting at the piano for Million Reasons.
I liked hearing old songs again but that's it. She should just retire and do jazz or equality speeches, her heart is not in show business anymore.

I liked that people didn't think she was being political while she sang a bit of a Woody Guthrie song
Bless her

It was Gaga through and through. It had a lot of her style and flair, and a nice variety of her songs. And major props for no lip syncing. All in all very entertaining.
She put out a new record last fall...

It was so confusing reading the Superbowl thread during the halftime show. Half of you were saying it was amazing, and half of you were calling it total shit. Fucking GAF.
She has been consistently making music for the last few years. But okay.
Oh yea...totally forgot about that complete non-event.
Her last top 10 hit was in 2013 (Applause), and last #1 hit was in 2011 (Born This Way).
Here's an article Wired did about those drones:

So?
Please don't feed Duckroll's dream.
Is she no longer interested in making popular music that people like anymore?

You can't blame him for not noticing music that was DOA.

She didn't snatch many wigs or manage to slay but yaaaaas she did fall like a spider while being a mess. The jump was pre-recorded most likely, but I'll be needing the receipts for that. In the end she managed to jump in the iTunes chart and become queen again.
It was interesting. I wanted to know how she'd go about the performance, 'cause a lot of times it can be indicative of the artist's career. Katy Perry relied heavily on props, and features. Bruno had his classic showman persona on point. Beyonce was a technical, super polished performance. I wondered if Gaga's performance would look at all the aspects of her career, 'cause she's had quite an evolution. But the performance focused on the older Lady Gaga that most people probably associate her with - essentially, the mega dancy popstar. It was pretty strictly hits, hence Artpop's absence.

Absolute rubbish.
Love or hate her songs, you can't deny that she definitely has strong stage presence. She did good. She did very good.

Her last album was a low-profile country-ish release, so probably not.
Great show, had a real joyful vibe to it. Was fun to watch.
I believe just the drone part of that first bit was pre-recorded due to FAA regulations?
I partially agree. I think she had stage presence, as always, and she's still one of the most talented artist in the business but the performance was more like a Gaga tribute to her early career. In the end she delivered what people expected from a half time show of Gaga but I think she would have prefered to perform as her Joanne persona. The show was still good but I can predict she will probably retire after the next couple of album.

She did an awesome job.
Bummer that Applause wasn't in the medley, but I guess it's always gonna be unfairly disliked.

Seemed kinda short? Idk I guess it was because of them bringing out guests or maybe I didn't care for them but it felt like the Beyoncé/Bruno/Coldplay/Katy Perry performances took a while.
Gaga did really good though, kinda sad to that Joanne got 1 song and Artpop got ignored. I kinda wonder if she agreed to do the show just so she can say she did. She seems past this sort of thing judging by the kind of music she's been putting out recently.

I thought it was the best Halftime show in the last ten years with the exception of last year's. Maybe I'm crazy though. She felt like less of a one hit wonder, love the costumes, sang great, just overall really solid.

This ain't that. I hate pop Gaf for the exaggeration.
