Was Madonna’s SB 46 Halftime Performance the Greatest Ever?
That’s what everyone is saying this morning after the BY Giants upended the hapless New England Patriots to win Super Bowl XLVI 21-17. The 53-year-old pop icon rode into the arena on a chariot worthy of the gods. She launched into a performance of her hit single “Vogue” before performing her current single “Give Me All Your Lovin’” with Nicki Minaj and M.I.A.
Madonna didn’t miss a step as the athletic superstar danced her heart out and threw in a couple of cartwheels onstage. But it was M.I.A.’s flip of a finger that caused most of the buzz from last night’s performance. Some are comparing M.I.A’s middle finger flip to Janet Jackson’s intentional disrobing in 2004′s Super Bowl.
That may be a bit of a stretch when you consider that M.I.A. flipped the bird so quickly that most of America missed it. Still, M.I.A.’s obscene gesture may have stolen the show from Madge. Watch the video after the break.

Not hardly…
I think the performance was great. Visuals were fab and the energy was high.
<— DIDN'T SEE IT BUT ON SOME REAL SHYT, AFTER "BORDERLINE", I HAVEN'T THOUGHT TOO MUCH 'BOUT MADONNA!
I loved that performance!!!
It was okay, I’ve been one to ohh and ahh over halftime performances but compared to recent years’ performances she did quite well.
She almost took a spill a couple of times, but she did good.

trophy*
Heeeeyyyy Peoples
It wasn’t the greatest but I enjoyed it. I thought it was memorable and one of the best since Prince did it. I don’t even remember who did it last year.
I find it funny that today the media is making a big deal about MIA flipping the bird. I wouldn’t have any idea she did that if it wasn’t being broadcast all over the television. America needs to wake up! If your kid knows what flipping the bird represents then they are likely flipping the bird themselves.
Let’s stop acting like kids are so innocent. They are adults in training.

I thought SHE was wack but her dancers and everything that was going on around her was exciting….When I seen LMFAO I was thinking, I would have much rather seen them perform then her.ijs….
No one on the corner has swagga like us
I didn’t watch the game at all
Tatted
Something in the way you love me won’t let me be
I don’t want to be your prisoner so baby won’t you set me free
Stop playing with my heart
Finish what you start
When you make my love come down
If you want me let me know
Baby let it show
Honey don’t you fool around
Just try to understand, I’ve given all I can,
Cause you got the best of me
Borderline feels like I’m going to lose my mind
You just keep on pushing my love over the borderline
Hey Tatted
Imma be good today so tell your boo she don’t gotta hate me no more 
I didn’t watch it
Morning
Last night Madonna lip synced for her life
@iheart, iscream, Tif, KayCei, ryan, kimi, ladee, daprince
Her performance was wack, I wish we could have dug up Michael Jackson #rip to the Greatest of all time!
s/n; I was waiting on janet to kanye old hag performance.. I much rather seen gaga ..
And can kelly clarkson get a round of appualse for getting the words of the star spangled banner correct and keeping it simple instead of making a mockery of the whole situation unlike soooooo many people before her???I can’t tell you how many sports events I’ve seen where people have completely screwed it up
Madonna didn’t miss a step as the athletic superstar danced her heart out and threw in a couple of cartwheels onstage.
She talked all that shyt about Janet and didnt bring it 
___________________
Ok she might’ve danced her heart out but she missed a few steps. She almost busted her azz on those bleachers. Her performance was ok for someone her age but not the greatest by far. She can’t touch Prince
listen, Madonna did great last night. greatest of all time? that’s debatable but she danced her ass off and got the chit done. America needs to wake up!!!!! OK, she flipped the bird but blasting it all over the news isn’t making it any better…in fact, you now have kids wondering what “flip the bird” even means and looking it up. dumba$%3$!!!
Now, M.I.A. stole that whole chit from Madonna with her 2 second bird flip. you know Madonna is going awf this morning!!! 12 mins worth of dancing and you’re upstaged by a quick finger?
Hey Tatted tat tat!!
@Eb-
I thought Madonnna did a pretty good job. The dancers that were around her during her performance with Nicki Minaj were the Dancing Dolls from Southern University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I was suprised when I found out she picked them by watching one of their youtube performances. They did a great job!!

@ Naija
Some GIRLS kiss me, some GIRLS hug me
I think they’re okay
If they don’t give me proper credit
I just walk away
They can beg and they can plead
But they can’t see the light, that’s right, that’s right
‘Cause the girl with the cold hard cash
Is always Mister Right
‘Cause we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl

@ Iheart
OKAY, I’LL TELL HER! I think she thinks you hate her eyes! 
Hi Naija
I LIKE THE BOOTS..
Hey Naija and Htown
The problem is, the days of REAL talent are loooong gone. So we’ll settle for mediocrity and say it was the best… IJS
Liked the old songs, not the new one. As I said before, she’s too old to be singing that chit and dancing with some damn pompoms.
@Laker- I was watching the boots the whole time.. I really didn’t see anything else..
@Ty where are you located? I know a few connects here in ATL

that song and “Like a Prayer” with Leon playing Black Jesus…Madonna used to be bad now she’s like some tepid tea (not great, not bad, just meh)
It’s time for the superbowl to start showing local talets and ish…Mamma Jones and Frankie should’ve headlined the show

HEEEEY BEW! 
Lil Kim is going to the tax lien Hall of Fame — because the Queen Bee has run her bill with Uncle Sam into the seven figures … TMZ has learned.
Lil Kim’s tax problems are well-documented and go back nearly 10 years. According to documents filed with the L.A. Recorder’s Office, Kim owes money every year from 2002-2009.
The 2009 amount, $86347.85, was just recently tacked on — bringing her total $1,026,862.42.
Congratulations?

She needs to show off her sexy lady lumps to the WORLD 
I liked this halftime show better then the last 10.. she maybe old but you did her thing.. and how can you go wrong when you bring ceelo out..
I didnt like half time
Madonna looked like her brain had to issue the command for her body to move several times before it listened.
I can’t stand that “Party Rock” song but my youngest boy constantly plays the Spongebob video for it on youtube.

@ Kimi whats up baby I wont be clicking anymore links because of you

Hey H-townmama & Maven.
Madonna didn’t miss a step as the athletic superstar danced her heart out and threw in a couple of cartwheels onstage.
—————————————–
Alot of folks forget that Madge is trained dancer. That was her college major. On scholarship. She rocked it IMO.
It was ok IMO

Uh… no
It was better than some but the highlights of her performance for me were the cameos and her old songs… the new song = crap, her dancing.. impressive for her age but not mind blowing and her face = scary

it was a tad dry…. like flavored football turf and victoria secret pear glaze lotion… almost like spotted dic… it was better than Jennifer Williams tho…
OAN: shucks at you for seeing that part of my comment…
Madge will always get my vote she is an OG old school freak she been with every color in the rainbow, split tale and pole tents… her album she did with Babyface was my favorite.
I still say Prince had the best halftime show…

Dont say gold and white in honor of SR. I cant show up and show out in those colors

So what colors are we supposed to wear
Cues Keyshia Cole’s Sent from Heaven
@ Tatted I look best in light colors, I love hot pank though, and can we make you and change the Morning Glory (clothed wedding edition)?
@ Tatted HUSH YO MOUF!!! Green is my FAVORITE color!!! Love it to pieces
Clearly this was not the best performance.. Michael Jackson performance was the best…(Heal the world) with all those children from all country(s).. and the people in the stands raising the (images of children)…. Madonna was good but not the greatest…
@ Hershey – YAAAAAS, It’s my favorite color. I’mma Taurus, so my birthstone is emerald but that has nothing to do with why it’s my fav! Especially TRUE green, like the crayon….I LOVE THAT COLOR! On our first date, I got green flowers!
BTW – She told me not to listen to ANYTHANG Sandra had to say!
Green flowers? dayum she brought out the “this is the fourth date now I want some azz” type of gifts
Attentive to details, remembers your favorites, wines and dines you, yep better keep her…and no don’t listen to Sandra keep doing you boo
@ Hershey – Girrrrl, I ain’t going no where! She even bought me a night stand for her home, filled it up w/my favs & requirements….GIRL, THAT’S MY BOO!
Yes maam she’s a keeper, for sure
shhhhh!!! Don’t give out inside
info on your mate, someone may
be taking notes
nobody will ever top Michael Jackson however Madonna was the best in the last few years….way better that BEPs last year.
