Hmm regarding LAP I thought that too but still it sounded weird. I have the collection, must listen to it. Wish she had sung "I'm sixty and I know it" The Voice premiere is not an excuse for having Cee Lo on stage.. He was totally out of place there. And don't get me wrong, I like him a lot, but it just didn't work. It wouldn't make sense as she is not 60.

watching-tv.ew.com/2012/02/05/madonna-super-bowl-cee-lo-green-nicki-minaj-m-i-a-lmfao/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, openhearted 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 βVogueβ that used the magazineβs logo as part of the stage set, Madonna offered full-throated vocals coupled with tight choreography. If the visual transitions didnβt have any flow (Roman togas to pulsating stadium-seating steps to space for a tightrope walker), the songs did. After the cool warm-up of βVogue,β Madonna moved smoothly into βMusic.β There was certain mashing-up of music with LMFAO that didnβt add much to the proceedings. She led into her current single, βGive Me All Your Luvinβ,β as a sweet piece of Katy Perry-style pop. Itβs 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 on stage, 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 βLike a Prayer.β Singing from a raised platform, Madonna and Greenβs voices soared, and just when I thought she was going to ascend to the heavens, she instead descended intoβ¦well, not hell β that would have been out of keeping with the mood of this show β 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 donβt care. I was happy to see Madonna smiling so much, giving it her all, plugging her product with such gleeful abandon. (Oh, and, right, I almost forgot: WORLD PEACE, people!!) It wasnβt a thrillingly innovative performance, but thatβs not what the Super Bowl halftime show is about anyway: Itβs 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, Madonnaβs Super Bowl performance was a bright delight.

Overall the performance was well put together and well thought out. Madonna looked great and the songs she selected to perform were spot on. In particular I loved the lead in to "Like a Prayer." The stadium looked beautiful.
I do think it was obvious that Madonna wasn't moving a whole lot. She was mostly standing there singing while all the people around her were doing the movement. She didn't actually start to really dance until LMFAO joined her onstage.
Also, the whole M.I.A. thing. Who cares? Do Americans really have nothing better to get all uptight about? I'm seeing how M.I.A. was "vulgar" all over the news. Why is it even news? Who cares? It's a little finger, big deal.

Note that in the Cleopatra tribute, it was Romans who carried her out. Madonna, unlike Cleopatra, conquered the Romans. (at least I think that's how it went, history was never my favorite subject hehe)

I really doubt your kids registered that at all hon. And honestly, if they were old enough to, they're probably saying and doing much worse behind your back.

I watched some of the Superbowl last night but unfortunately didn't have the opportunity to watch this performance live. I just finished checking it out several minutes ago and have been putting my thoughts in order. The performance was certainly extremely impressive, that much it true and what stood out to me were the visuals that accentuated the star power of that performance. I thought the choreography was well developed and, in general, the theatrical aspects of it which included the Roman (if this had anything to do with Nicki Minaj, I'm not totally sure) were very entertaining. However, I still do have my criticisms about the lip synching which was not too much of a big deal although I prefer watching artists perform their music live. It did sound like she flipped between live and lipped vocals though and I would rather her do that than attempt live vocals that she may or may not have been able to pull off.
Before I entered this thread I did not notice M.I.A's "inappropriate" behaviour. If you have children, you leave them out of the room when Madonna, LMFAO, Nicki Minaj, and M.I.A come on stage together to perform because nine times out of ten, if you're heavily sensitive, you will find something in there that you will see as inappropriate. It is worthy to note, like Oprah said, that children don't generally register those things. If you're a good parent (and I'm not suggesting otherwise just to make this clear) your kids will be able to discern the differences between good and bad so why make such a big fuss out of this? People drop F-bombs all the time in real life, it's just the way the world works bud.

It was for such a split second that I doubt your kids would have even registered it if it weren't for people making a big stink to the media. Also why does it matter that she's an English rapper? What does nationality have anything to do with it? Yea, it doesn't make sense... but why does everything have to make sense? It's a pop performance, not a meidcal procedure or mechanical engineering.

I didn't even notice her giving the finger and I'm an adult. I really doubt your kids registered that at all hon. And honestly, if they were old enough to, they're probably saying and doing much worse behind your back. Exactly. If somebody's old enough that they know what it means it's not an issue, if they're not they'll have no idea what it means if they even notice it.

I don't agree with it but I can see why she did it.

I actually don't think that's why she did it. I'd imagine she's getting a lot of accusations of being a sell out at the moment with the Madonna collaboration and Super Bowl performance. She probably did it as a response to that, whether literally giving the finger to those people or as a way of proving she's not become a soulless machine.

I think she was just caught up in the moment and forgot about the conventional rules about that sort of thing in the U.S. and it just happened.

I liked the performance, it made me like the single better (at first I was like - is the target audience 3 year old kids?) and as for Madonna's movement, I noticed the part where she was dancing on the upper row of the seats, and she tried to jump on the row and she almost fell. I don't think I can say anything about her. She's 53, and she's doing very well for that age (physcially). She also looks the same.

M.I.A. She'll Be Left Holding the Bag If NBC Gets FinedM.I.A. will end up paying any fines imposed on NBC as a result of her finger wag during the Super Bowl halftime show ... sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ. Our sources say ... the NFL has indemnified NBC ... because the NFL is responsible for the halftime content. But the NFL was smart, given the history of performers who wanted to do something shocking to get attention during the biggest TV event of the year. So we're told ... M.I.A. signed a contract with the NFL for the halftime performance, and in that contract M.I.A. agreed to indemnify the NFL for any money it might be forced to pay if the FCC comes down on the Peacock Network. Remember, CBS was hit with a $550,000 FCC fine after Janet Jackson's famous wardrobe malfunction, but that fine was thrown out by a federal appeals court. Sources tell us ... aside from the fact that the NFL doesn't want to pay a huge fine, the organization wants to send a message to performers -- don't you dare screw with us. We don't know if the NFL got a similar indemnity clause from Madonna. www.tmz.com/2012/02/06/m-i-a-will-be-left-holding-the-bag-if-nbc-gets-fined/

She wanted people to talk about her. She knew it was the biggest exposure she'd ever have and took full advantage of it and got the media talking about an artist that they knew nothing about. I don't know. It wouldn't even occur to most people outside of the US that something as minor as giving the finger for a second would get people to talk about you the next day. Also, I'm sick of stupid radio DJ's saying she "flipped America the bird." It was probably aimed at her "haters" as Billy Shears said and not the whole country. Just more nonsense that the US media is making a big deal over for nothing. I'm not saying I think it was cool that M.I.A. did it or that I agree with it, but she did to it, and I don't think it's a big deal.

I read an article about this today where someone who watched the rehearsals said that M.I.A. did not give the finger in the rehearsal, so she clearly saved the finger for the live performance so she knew exactly what she was doing, and if they are fined by the F.C.C., since she signed a contract with NBC, then she's the one who should have to pay it.

If NBC gets fined, then I absolutely agree that M.I.A. should be the one paying it.
But aside from that, LMAO @ this whole thing. A fine shouldn't even come into question. Was her act childish and kind of irrelevant? Yes. But it also should not be a big deal! Or yet another excuse for a government agency to extract money for no reason.

The stadium looked beautiful. I do think it was obvious that Madonna wasn't moving a whole lot. She was mostly standing there singing while all the people around her were doing the movement.

I'm seeing how M.I.A. was "vulgar" all over the news. Why is it even news? Who cares? It's a little finger, big deal. because you don't have kids. I don't want my kids watching the biggest sporting event in the world, and have to watch a nipple or a bitter english rapper giving the middle finger. it's unnecessary. what did she get out of flipping us off. makes no sense to me and I thought it was ridiculously dumb. I respect your opinion wholeheartedly...I don't have kids...yet but its get clear that ppl without kids tend to not understand the impact of poor decision...it happens all the time in movies, music etc. Just wanted to let you know that I see your pov because a lot of ppl here. (For various reasons) probably don't understand all that goes into protecting the innocent from having to see things, question things and have their parents try to explain things that they really shouldn't have to... That said, as an adult, I thoroughly enjoyed the performance.

About the finger...I actually didn't catch it when I was watching it live. She just looked like she did something odd. Having said that and now know that she "flipped the bird" I just think it was pretty classless. I don't care who she was flipping it to. There's a time and place for that type of thing. Heck, she's married to a billionaire's son. I don't know what she has to be mad over in the first place. Dumb move.

I don't really understand this school of thought that says if you're a musician with rich parents or family members you shouldn't be allowed to do certain things (or in the case of Lana del Rey, have a career at all). I'm pretty sure this isn't the first time a woman with a rich husband has given the finger.

Also, of course it was classless. I'm not validating flipping the finger. I just don't think it's a big enough deal for a media whirlwind. There have been mass deaths in Syria this week, tensions rising with Iran, an international debt crisis, a presidential election gearing up, continual unemployment, and a culture that's continually becoming plagued by school bullying and suicides... and some random entertainer sticking up a finger is one of the most talked about headlines this week? Really?

Really? I agree. But this is really nothing new. The media is always fascinated with some other thing that is of much lesser importance when those issues are really what matter. Back in 1990 when the military action Operation Desert Storm was being launched, Madonna's then controversial "Justify My Love" video had been released and that was the topic of discussion on all the news shows and prime time magazine shows. ABC had Madonna on as a guest on their Nightline show for an entire hour and they had a discussion about censorship while the combat was happening. It's no different from them also discussing Gisele Bundchen's comments about her husband nonstop this week.

Would be nice if NBC somehow could reair the Halftime Show this week during prime time. Just a fantasy, but would be nice. 30 minute broadcast, that's all that is needed. :)
