Best Super Bowl Halftime Shows: Various Lists/Articles; + Bruno Mars Tops M's #s


Guest gang bang

Recommended Posts

Are they seriously ranking Beysus' and, more importantly, Janitor's halftime show above MJ? And besides the actual performance, it was him who started the tradition of having big acts at the half-time show!

And I think it's actually nearly impossible to objectively rank the Top 3. Madonna's was amazing, but Prince and U2 totally rocked the stage as well, you gotta admit that! They all were amazing moments in the history of live performances!

RS has M ranked at No. 6 (seems to be just one writer's view, though).

Feel free to post other sources/links in this thread, too. (Outlets post these lists annually).

Incredible. I couldn't resist posting a comment on this one, and it went a little somethin' like this:

"Well, looks like "reporter" Rob O'Connor is in need of attention and readers. Desperate much, Mr. O'Connor? Seems that way. Putting Madonna's half-time performance on the top-five worst list of half-time performances is aboslutely ludicrous!

To go ahead and call her "boring and irrelevant" speaks to your lack of journalistic integrity, especially considering the fact that her performance is THE most watched television event in HISTORY. HOW is it possible for a performer who pulls off such an immense feat to be labeled "irrelevant?" Makes no sense, especially considering how in the following year the same performer had THE most successful world tour of the year.

And, HOW in the world is it possible for a performer to be considered "boring" when she makes such a GRAND entrance riding in on a mammothly feathered, aphrodite-like THRONE atop a cavalry of "Roman Soldiers," while performing one of the BIGGEST hits of the 90's, THEN closing her performance singing one of the BIGGEST hits of the 80's along with another pop contemporary AND a huge robed CHOIR? (Mind you, all along using astonishing visual effects never before used or seen on a televised musical performance.) It's utterly illogical.

It's clear, Mr. O'Connor, that you have a personal bias or vendetta against Madonna. And, that THAT is the only reason her performance made your ridiculous and irrelevant list. It's completely bewildering the amount of vitriol that is viciously slung at such an accomplished, legendary, talented pop icon as Madonna.

^ People hate her because she's still so successful they wanna shut her up and quiet her.

IT IS BULLYING

A part of me thinks that no matter how good the album will be the media will rip her apart for being "old"

How come Cher doesn't get this much criticism?

She's older than Madonna!

And that O'Connor Yahoo guy is just a common person doing his list, hardly a Real reporter
