Pls don't say that her performance was amazing. It was Ok. Thats it.

Oh they know it wasn't amazing. Those who saying it was are just trying to make their cognitions and behavior congruent, due to cognitive dissonance.

Is that why it's getting rave reviews almost unanimously?

Madonna on Stage May.25, 2009

Madonna flipping off the crowd on stage. No longer Like a Virgin.

why does the press set double standards?

What made Madonna do this at her concert? Did the crowd think this was cool?

The one that was in 2009; doesn't seem to Kabbala like!?!?!

Her performance was amazing. Even all the media reviews who usually are out to get her loved it. The guys on ESPN loved it, my mother loved it, all my friends who are not Madonna fans. The only negative stuff I've heard about it is online. I guess some people think it's cool to be negative bitches all the time. Lose the attitude and try to enjoy life because life doesn't last forever. If you couldn't enjoy her performance, I really don't think you like music, dancing or even being alive. I seriously pity you.

How can you say that people who have a dissenting opinion are negative??? Perhaps we have different critera for judging a MUSICAL performance. Maybe we actually do love music, which is why we are not impressed with an overblown lip synched ode to Cirque Du Soleil. Perhaps live music and instruments carry more weight for us than a extravagant wardrobes and dancers. Hey, I love the costumes and performances at Cirque du Soleil so it doesn't bother me that there music is recorded. However, I do not expect to see a musician (singer or instrumentalist) lip synching to a recording during a so-called LIVE performance. So, why do I need to "lose the attitude and try to enjoy life" because my expectations for a LIVE musical performance are different from yours? That is a very illogical statement. If you all you expect from a LIVE musical performance is pantomiming, costumes and dancers, fine. But don't "pity" me because I expect a so-called singer to SING.

Well the so-called singer has 30 years of everything...we fans have her...those who refuse to see her importance...well you only have internet connection.

I heard a rumour that Prince´s band was pre-recorded, but the vocals and guitars werent. And even if the band was pre recorded, Prince did a new arrangement/recording for SB, different from Madonna, who only played the CD versions of ´Music´ and ´Vogue´.

I don't think you can fake playing drums especially the way Cora pounding those drums during Let's Go Crazy and Baby I'm A Star.

I know. After Sheila planted that ridiculous seed of doubt, I went back and watched Prince's performance again. I analyzed multiple aspects of it. It would have been very hard to stay in sync with a pre-recorded version of that performance. There were too many nuances and imperfections that pointed to it being live. Also, Sheila was trying to be coy with that dig, probably because people were firing back at her about Prince being better than Madoona. So she got defensive because her slight backfired in some ways.

You have to realize though this wasn't a normal gig. It was at the Super Bowl, before a huge stadium shown live all over the world before billions of people. At something like that only a very extragavant over the top performance will work. I enjoy people singing live with acoustic guitars and other live instruments, at small intimate venues. But the Super Bowl was not the time or place for that. Madonna is not just a singer, she's a dancer and all around entertainer. You seem to have a very limited view of what a performance is. You have to have all live singing and all live instruments or it's no good to you. I love extravagant performances and also intimate live singing and instrument playing. They both have their place. I think you should open your mind to different types of performances. I certainly would never tell someone who sings all live with all live instruments in a shirt and jeans with no dancers that they have to change and be like Madonna or it's no good. I enjoy those type of performances for what they are. Why can't you enjoy Madonna for what she is?

I'm not against negative criticism, but I do have to wonder when people online are so negative about something that the rest of the world seemed to love. I'm a big Madonna fan but I don't like everything she does. She deserves criticism sometimes like for example the Hard Candy album which was pretty sub par bar a few songs, but you have to give it up to her when she comes through as she did at the Super Bowl.

One thing for sure sombody spent some money on everything involved...Who paid for all that? Especially those fashions the Roman type soldiers wore and the props that stuff like some expensive stuff, not just some average fabric and cheap construction material?

I heard that the NFL gives the artist a huge budget to put on their show.They pay for everything (hotel fees,airline tickets for the guests and their entourage,etc).

Centurions' helmets and cheerleaders' leotards: Behind-the-scenes look at Madonna's Super Bowl dressing room
Madonna well and truly stole the show at last night's XLVI Super Bowl - the Giants' Eli Manning may be the man of the match but the queen of pop made the evening her own.

Now, behind-the-scenes photos show the levels of organisation that went into the moments-long performance of Vogue, Like a Prayer and Music as well as new song, Give Me All Your Luvin.

The 53-year-old's epic performance did not appear from ancient Egyptian and Roman ages without an extraordinary amount of regimented planning and mammoth levels of production.


Gladiator style: A candid shot from behind-the-scenes at Madonna's Super Bowl show sees her scantily-clad Roman centurions flexing their muscles

Roman legions and an army of dancers materialised in figure-hugging, flesh-baring outfits, all meticulously made-to-fit and perfectly coordinated. From jug-carrying maidens to harp-proffering, gyrating hip-hop dancers, every look was contrived to the last detail.

In photos taken by Madonna's team and provided by her fashion label, Material Girl, outfits are seen, carefully name-tagged and hanging in dressing rooms at the Lucas Oil Stadium before the show.

Tony's helmet: Leopard-print detailing in check, one dancer's helmet sits ready to whip into action for the Material Girl's game-changing performance

A centurion's helmet, complete with faux leopard fur, sits on a stand, ready to transform a dancer by the name of Tony into a Roman guard, protecting pop royalty.

Lines of tiny red and white leotards, embellished with sparkling finishing, glitzy epaulettes and yards of tassels sit alongside a pair of white boots, ready to swing into action for the Give Me All Your Luvin segment.

Another rack sees four custom Adidas sweatsuits, the trademark three-striped logo transformed into a musical score complete with semi-quavers and crotchets.


Golden boys: The eye-catching breastplates, embellished shoulder pieces and strappy sandals for the support dancers and extras


Pom poms! Madonna's cheerleaders' outfits hang, waiting for their turn on the world stage, every detail from the sparkling finishes to the tassels immaculately planned

The name tags attached to the showy clothes reveal they are for dancers Adrien, Brahim, Lilou and Maxime - who accompanied the singer in the Music segment of the spectacle.

The section gave the pop queen a chance to dance alongside her boyfriend, Brahim Zaibat, who is less than half her age at 24-years-old.


Semi-quaver: One outfit sports Brahim's name-tag - Madonna's boyfriend danced alongside her during the Music segment on bleachers

Not to be upstaged by the wild and wonderful costumes of Nicki Minaj, MIA, LMFAO and Cee Lo Green, Madonna's Givenchy couture costumes, masterminded by Riccardo Tisci, saw three changes for the Material Girl.

A liquid-gold robe revealed a Roman-esque black silk mini dress, worn with a leopard print short cape.

Her black python belt was hand-studded and hand-embroidered and had removable matching flaps - on show until a final black cape shimmered in dark majesty.


In action: The Material Girl grooves with her 'cheerleader' backing dancers in their minimal red and white leotards, tassels swinging

The singer's stunning, geometric head-dress was made by Philip Treacy, while WWD reports that her diamond earrings were by Bulgari.

The salute to high fashion did not end there - at one point, the stage transformed into a Vogue magazine cover, its iconic banner cementing the runway acumen of the star-studded performance.

...THE SHOWMANSHIP CONTINUES: ENTER THE $1MILLION HEADPHONES


Audio bling: You know you're a rap star when you wear a $1million pair of diamond-encrusted headphones

Even the props on stage were a monument to over-the-top flashiness and showmanship.

LMFAO's Sky Blu may have had one of the most bombastic outfits on stage, but he dazzled in more ways than one.

The rapper and Party Rock star sported the world's first pair of $1million headphones.

Encrusted with an excess of 114 carats of diamonds, the bling audio hardware - worn firmly around the star's neck - were made by world-famous jewellers, Graff and high-end audio brand, Beats by Dr Dre.

The duo, in true trademark eccentricity, mismatched animal prints with diamante, Roman-style panelled belts, hi-top trainers, capes, heavy bejeweled glasses and voluminous hair for their few minutes on the world-famous stage.

Hi Glinda. Oh how I wish that we can make them understand. But it is impossible. Us and Madonna have been going against these people since 1983. They will never get it...because they just hate her. She represents everything that they would want to have but just couldn't because they...only they have cool tastes in music and arts. If they can't stand her, then why waste their time here? And yes...that was one extravagant show that only she can deliver.

- Yes, it´s true. MJ lip synched, but let´s not compare MJ and Madonna in terms of talent...hehehehe

I agree that Madonna´s performance was better, but let´s keep in mind that MJ´s concert was during daylight, so he couldnt take advantage of all those stage lights. After watching This is It DVD, I keep on guessing how a MJ Halftime show would have been today...

Compare in terms of talent?????

MJ has other talents than Madonna, but both are entertainers mostly to me. Madonna can do things MJ can't do, and MJ can do stuff Madonna can't do.. don't think MJ is more talented than Madonna, or Madonna more talented than MJ.

Are you serious? MJ has more talent than Madonna has in the grave than she's ever had in her life. Madonna's dancing, "singing" and overall material could not hold a candle to MJ. MJ had hits as a child star into adulthood. With all his quirks, MJ deserves legend status. Madonna?, not so much. A lot of undeserved media hype and "borrowing" from current underground trends (think Vogue)

Cee Lo Green and LMFAO on Collaborating with Madonna

Madonna rang up Cee Lo Green several months back about performing “Like a Prayer” during the Super Bowl halftime show, and he didn’t give it a second thought.
He told MTV…

“I was asked – cordially invited – by Madonna to be a part of it and, of course, very eagerly obliged.
So it was basically as simple as that.
It was kind of like a no-brainer.
Working with Madonna is a very simple process.
She’s a very hard worker, quite the perfectionist, and we worked awfully hard for that entire 12-minute performance to be as close to perfection as possible.”

LMFAO’s members also praised Madonna…
Seconds before she took the stage for the Super Bowl halftime show on Sunday, ET chatted with Madonna, who expressed her excitement and readiness for the big performance…
After the show, ET met up with LMFAO Redfoo and SkyBlu, who expressed their humility in performing alongside the legendary Madonna…

Redfoo: “She’s amazing. [It was] such an amazing experience working with her.”
SkyBlu : “Every time she’d come over at practice, I was like… hands sweating, like yeah, Madonna.”

As for Madonna, when asked after her halftime performance by The Insider’s Kevin Frazier as to what was next after conquering the Super Bowl, she jokingly replied …

“The White House! I’m gonna rock the White House.”

I just hope we can stop comparing airbak. Michael and Madonna...Madonna and Michael...King and Queen. No more, no less. As for Vogue...it was inspired. Just like Michael Jackson was inspired by Fosse (check out The Little Prince).
