  1. The guys at TMZ are mentally challenged, aren't they. Obviously THEY care. Why would they run this article in the first place. But they are no different to any other media outlet which is running the boob story at the moment. All of them are a) citing how old she is b) implying she did it all for publicity. I think they are complaining because the realize how she is playing games with the media. And the only way they know how to play this game is to put her down. She could care less because in the end they are still playing her game.

    Harvey Levin has something against Madonna, he has said numerous negative things..said shes too haughty taughty.. but he worships the kardashians,, maybe he wants to get paid to say nice things, i dunno

  2. While he supported Gisele, Trump told Access that British rapper M.I.A., who flipped cameras the bird while performing with Madonna at halftime, was in the wrong.

    “M.I.A. did something that should not have happened,” he said.

    And then, this occurred:

    Trump did, however, enjoy the rest of Madge’s halftime show.

    “I give thumbs up to Madonna,” he said.

  3. Most of the criticism I've read doesn't seem sincere. It's either coming from people who already had their negative review ready before even watching the performance, or men who only respect older MALE musicians (usually rock).

    Yep I noticed that too, and why should they compare her to the old rock guys? stupid. Some of these rock people i notice are with lady gaga.

  4. Local students take part in Super Bowl halftime show

    300154220-06050741.jpg

    If you caught the halftime show during last night's Super Bowl, two local guys were part of it.

    A Penn High School senior and a freshman from IU South Bend walked Madonna onto the field and to the stage.

    Gage Davis and Tyler Graham responded to a call for physically fit and athletic males to be part of the performance. They were selected, and performed as gladiators pulling Madonna on a chariot in the show.

    WSBT talked to Gage after the show. Here's what he told us about the experience:

    "It was great to see everyone enjoying it in the stands and all around the world, it was something that was great and a once in a lifetime experience. I never thought I would do something at that level and something that huge and it was awesome.”

  5. What the fuck is the problem of all those concerned idiots who complain about a middle finger. That picture was shown for what a half a second? Hardly anyone realized it. Certainly not some little children (who can watch all kinds of more dangerous stuff on a daily basis). These assholes make a big fuss about nothing.

    Instead of apologizing officials at the NFL and NBC should tell them: "You are wasting my time, go fuck yourself".

    i didnt even notice it at all when i watched it or how madonna slipped, or Brahim dancing backup on Music,

  6. Can't believe this article :thumbsdown:

    Is Madonna the Worst Choice Ever for a Super Bowl Halftime Show?

    Social Sentiment About the Material Girl's Imminent Performance: Negative!

    Friday's New York Post

    Madonna is on the cover of the New York Post today for having done a Victor Cruz-style salsa victory dance at a press conference yesterday. You'll be forgiven if you suspect that the Material Girl was merely engaging in a last-minute attempt to associate herself somehow with something football-ish as her Super Bowl halftime show approaches. Madonna said that in addition to intense rehearsals, she'd be relying on "the support of the universe and the grace of God" to pull off her performance.

    The support of the universe? I guess the universe doesn't include football fans, who have been grumbling in social media about Madonna since the announcement of her halftime gig was first made in December. And it didn't help Madonna's cause that there was also a good bit of grumbling about her appearance on the Golden Globes telecast last month. She may have sold hundreds of millions of records, but a lot of very vocal people seem to be very sick of Madonna.

    Ad Age has been working with Networked Insights, a social-media analytics company that advises brands and agencies on media planning, to track social sentiment surrounding Madonna.

    Some notes and context:

    ■Networked Insights tracks sentiment across the social web, including Twitter and Facebook, but also in forums and blog posts. Over the past couple of months, the No. 1 recurring theme (at 45% of volume) in social-media commentary about Madonna's upcoming Super Bowl halftime show is that she was a lousy choice (on the part of NFL and its broadcast partner NBC, although the culprits are seldom called out by name). Some 15% of comments dis Madonna's appearance, and 12% make fun of her fake-sounding British accent. By the way, the percentages in our chart don't add up to 100% not only because they don't comprehensively cover all conversational themes but also because there's often overlap between sentiments -- for example, tweets that dis both Madonna's looks and her selection for the gig, like this one from @RoxyCavendish: "Madonna. Not feeling it. She's old. She's looking like a skeleton. With a wig. #notthrilled #halftime #superbowl."

    ■"Anyone who has bought advertising during the halftime show should be concerned from a media-planning perspective," Dan Neely, CEO of Networked Insights, told me. Not only are there plenty of counterprogramming options available on TV (including, of course, the kitty halftime show during Animal Planet's Puppy Bowl), but tons of Super Bowl viewers will surely be turning to second-screen experiences -- choosing media on their mobiles* over Madonna.

    ■Networked Insights also tracked recurring themes in social-media conversations about Madonna's appearance at the Golden Globes last month. The most common discussion had to do with her feud with fellow nominee Elton John (a one-sided feud, granted, that was started by sore loser Sir Elton and his equally ungracious partner David Furnish), with comments acknowledging her Best Original Song win coming in second and disses of, yep, her weird-sounding faux British-y accent coming in third.

    ■Have Madonna and her people been monitoring her negative social-media buzz? From the sounds of yesterday's press conference, I'd say yes. If you watch the brief excerpt video on the New York Post's website, you'll find that not only has Madonna suddenly scrubbed the annoying British accent from her voice, but she made a point of emphasizing her American-ness: "This is a Midwesterner girl's dream to be performing at the Super Bowl halftime," she declared in a flat Midwestern accent. (Oh, right -- she's from Bay City, Michigan, not York, England. Almost forgot!)

    ■Have the NFL and NBC been monitoring the negative social buzz surrounding their halftime choice? I'd say yes, judging by the fact that, as The Guardian reports, "Both Nicki Minaj and MIA announced they would perform alongside the 53-year-old Material Girl on Sunday, cannily bridging any generation gap between headliner and target demographic." (Minaj and MIA guest on Madonna's new single, "Gimme All Your Luvin'," out today.)

    ■Who would Super Bowl fans rather see than Madonna? From its blog and forum monitoring (three sample comments appear in our infographic above), Networked Insights saw a lot of love for the stadium-rocking Foo Fighters.

  7. Local Students stepping with madonna at Half time show

    When the call went out for for physically fit, athletic males for Madonna's Super Bowl halftime show ... Gage Davis and Tyler Graham signed up.

    Davis and Graham, a Penn High School senior and Indiana University South Bend freshman, explained why the requirement for fit and athletic. "Our outfits are slightly revealing," Davis says.
