The ONLY thing i object is the mariah carey hair! I say she needs another hairstylish because this hair we can't take no more! Other than that the costumes were a bit too much Cheresque IMO but SHE FUCKING GAVE THE BIGGEST PERFORMANCE EVER! SHE WAS VERY INTO THIS SHOW! SHE NAILED IT! SHE IS PROUD OF HER HITS AND SHE GENUINELY ENJOYED PERFORM EVERY SONG OF THIS SHOW! LOVE HER!!!!!

Erm, no and no.

The hair went very well with the look.

And the outfits had nothing to do with Cher. They were quite demure and understated. Cher wouldn't know what understated means if it smacked her in the skull and fractured it to smithereens.

I'm trying not to mention comparisons as it was just at the start but yes, I did have Cherilyn's "Believe" going through my head! And of course she could NEVER, but all the same.. since M is around her age circa Believe, one can't help but think it. And Miss Ross as well with her kerrazzy camp costumes. That is really NOT Madonna at all of course, but lets hope GMAYL does a Believe. :wow:

Madonna is still the #1 trending topic. People definitely are being opinionated about her performance.

Madonna Lights Up the Super Bowl

Madonna Lights Up the Super Bowl | LMFAO, Madonna

Eli Manning and Tom Brady may know their way around the football field, but Sunday night, New England Patriots and New York Giants fans could take a break from taking sides to root for the queen of the (ever intricate) stage: Go Madonna!

The Super Bowl halftime show kicked off with a royal welcome as an army of gladiators escorted the veteran performer onto Indianapolis's Lucas Oil Stadium stage. With a diamond-studded gold crown, Madonna, 53, launched into her hit "Vogue" as the stage flashed covers of the iconic fashion magazine.

Next on the set list: her 2000 dance jam "Music." Joining her on the stage were the guys behind LMFAO – Stefan (Redfoo) and Skyler (SkyBlu) Gordy – who joined Madonna to sing samples from their hits, "Party Rock Anthem" and "Sexy and I Know It."

With a stage that was as flashy and glittering as her dance moves, Madonna then performed her new single, "Give Me All Your Luvin," with Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. – in full-on cheerleading uniforms – who are also featured on the song. (M.I.A. also gave the finger during her solo, an act that eluded the NBC censors.)

But the finale of the 12-minute performance was classic Madonna. With a hand from Cee Lo Green, she swapped her gladiator queen assemble for a glittering black robe to sing her 1989 hit, "Like a Prayer" (which she opened with samplings of "Open Your Heart" and "Express Yourself.").

Backed by a gospel choir, the fiery performance ended with a true sizzle: The stage burst into a cloud of smoke as the singer belted out the final note out of sight.

The final message of the show – "World Peace" – was illuminated on the stage.

"I'm going to come in halfway between the church experience, and I'm going to have to deliver a sermon that's going to have to be very impactful," she previously said of her nerves leading up to game day. "I have to put on the greatest show on earth in the middle of the greatest show on earth."

But the entertainment started earlier in the night as Blake Shelton and wife Miranda Lambert performed a duet of "America the Beautiful." And Kelly Clarkson powered through a rousing version of the "Star-Spangled Banner" before kickoff. (Watch it below.)

Here's a nice review of the performance from Ken Tucker of Entertainment Weekly:

Madonna at the Super Bowl review: A shockingly sincere, joyous performance

by Ken Tucker

Madonna was careful, in interviews before the Super Bowl, to say how nervous she was, how no one had to worry about her plotting to incite controversy. But instead of resulting in a cautious, tedious performance, Madonna gave a joyous, unironic, open-hearted one. She deployed guest stars including Cee Lo Green, Nicki Minaj, and M.I.A., but they never stole her glowing spotlight. From her entrance hoisted aloft by Roman-soldier dancers to the massed choir that sent her off, she was both in full command and full of generosity toward her massive audience.

Commencing with a rendition of “Vogue” that used the magazine’s logo as part of the stage set, Madonna offered full-throated vocals coupled with tight choreography. If the visual transitions didn’t have any flow (Roman togas to pulsating stadium-seating steps to space for a tight-rope walker), the songs did. After the cool warm-up of “Vogue,” Madonna moved smoothly into “Music.” There was certain mashing-up of music with LMFAO that didn’t add much to the proceedings. She led into her current single, “Give Me All Your Luvin’,” as a sweet piece of Katy Perry-style pop. It’s not among her best songs, but Madonna rendered the tune with a playful vigor, shaking gold pom-poms with Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. Toward the end of the song, a marching band trooped onstage, led by Cee Lo Green as drum major.

Aiming to end on a note of uplift, Madonna and Green donned choir robes and brought forth a large choir for “Like A Prayer.” Singing from a raised platform, Madonna and Green’s voices soared, and just when I thought she was going to ascend to the heavens, she instead descended into… well, not hell — that would have been out of keeping with the mood of this show — but she dropped away in a puff of smoke.

Now the carping will begin in living rooms and throughout the internet: Was she lip-synching? Did she make a few wobbly moves? Was M.I.A. being a naughty girl?

Me, I don’t care. I was happy to see Madonna smiling so much, giving it her all, plugging her product with such gleeful abandon. It wasn’t a thrillingly innovative performance, but that’s not what the Super Bowl half-time show is about anyway: It’s a time to hear some hits well-played, with more imagination and energy than, say, the Black-Eyed Peas provided last year. By this measure, Madonna’s Super Bowl performance was a bright delight.

I agree. I've left all forums I used to post in apart from this.

:shock:

I just got a text from my sister saying that it was INCREDIBLE.That's my sister who is the EVENT ORGANISER person in the UAE. That's right, she'll probably get to MEET Madonna when she plays there. :wow:

:dramatic: Potential for Suede to meet the Queen alert!!!

majority of Kylie forum users came to the conclusion that the entire performance was an "Aphrodite: Les Folies" rip-off. According to some fans, Madonna intentionally copied Kylie because she isn't very popular in the US so most audiences wouldn't notice.
