Was Madonna’s SB 46 Halftime Performance the Greatest Ever?

Sandra Rose February 6, 2012

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.

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.

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.

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 :hugs: Imma be good today so tell your boo she don’t gotta hate me no more :hugs:

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.
___________________
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 She talked all that shyt about Janet and didnt bring it

Does anyone know any good remy sites? My hook up is still away at college (jail) and I might as well go all out since I have to pay regular price now
tcw684

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?
LadeeA

Hey Tatted tat tat!!

@Eb-
whatuon2002

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!!

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?
