She's one of those artists you can always count on to deliver. I think I'm finally gonna buy tickets to see her live this year.
Not that I needed convincing. But that was just sooooo good.

Glad she stuck to the roots of her first album, not only for the obviously more successful and better songs but also the almost normal dress attire.

Gaga slayed my life, I'm so happy with the setlist even if it excluded ARTPOP & others, it still was great. If it were 2-3 minutes longer, I'd say she should've had Applause maybe after Just Dance, oh well End of story, Gaga has delivered my faved halftime maybe since Janet Jackson performed

What a great time to be a Lady Gaga fan. Who can serve vocals, choreography, and play not one but TWO instruments like that without missing a beat. She looked and sounded like an absolute icon.

Loving the Janet Jackson shout outs in this thread-- her show was gravely underrated and overshadowedby the very end.
Anyway, I straight up got chills when Bad Romance came on.

Anyway, I straight up got chills when Bad Romance came on. That song is so iconic. I firmly believe that when we look back in several decades, that song (including the video, the dance, chart run, etc.) will be remembered as a defining musical moment of the 2000s.

Born This Way is such a smash. Took me many years to really get into it, but it's fire.

Fan fucking tastic! Not a fan, just like some of her stuff, but I was excited for this and she blew my expectations away! The setlist was nearly perfect.
Personally, I would've preferred The Edge of Glory (you know, more than that 2 second clip) and You & I over Born This Way and the American music intro.
From a different point of view, Applause probably should've been in over Telephone so all of her albums could be included.
And then there's Perfect Illusion, which is literally perfect for this venue.
The energy was incredible! I do think Katy's was more fun (not better, just more fun), but Gaga put on such an energetic performance. Loved it!
The only thing I didn't care for was the weird air humping while the guy held her. Like, what?
Also, the acrobatic Poker Face performance made me REALLY want P!nk for next year/future years.

That was an incredible Half-Time performance and will definitely rank in the Top 10 of all-time. That performance had every element of The Fame/Born This Way eras that made everybody fall in love with her performance skills, captivating energy, and vibrant taste in costumes.

Excellent half-time show from Gaga! The song choices were on point, so happy she did "Just Dance"/"Poker Face"/"Bad Romance"/"Born This Way". The sales boost looks to be massive! Can't wait to see how high all her songs go on iTunes. Should get a few top 10 at the least!

The brilliance of her American anthems intro shouldn't be lost - with that brief intro - she informed the vast majority of Americans that above all she has a voice. It just added a ton of cred when she dives into the energetic dance tunes - where the public assumes it's pre-recorded and/or processed vocals. The is the icing on a hard-earned comeback from the depths of ARTFLOP and all the garbage around it. Piece-by-piece she rebuilt her career from Tony Bennett to AHS to Joanne. Well-done!

I like Gaga, but I thought it was pretty boring TBH. I don't understand the proclamations of it being the best ever, but whatever floats your boat.

A friend of mine commented on my Facebook post (praising Gaga) and said that it was boring, and added a link to a video showing that the roof thing was pre-recorded because she wasn't coming down from the roof I assume people saying it was boring expected stuff like Katy Perry's sharks or Madonna's gladiators? I don't know I felt super entertained with the dancing, the singing, the light effects, her acrobatics, her touching hands to the people, her playing the piano and singing LIVE throughout 13 minutes. Perfect combination of artistry, entertainment, voice and spectacle in my opinion. To each his own I guess

Just re-watched the whole show and it was as flawless as I remembered it from the first time. Once "Telephone" started I thought for sure Bey was going to come out for her part. That was some next level trolling.
Going into it, I wanted "Million Reasons" as the finale but after watching I realized that "Bad Romance" was the perfect closer. That song is definitely her magnum opus and one of the best pop songs ever released. It was smart to settle down with MR and then finish with energy.
The whole show was a perfect balance of great vocals and great choreography. It was awesome to see this classic side of Gaga that I've missed greatly. Rave reviews are pouring in from just about any opinion that I've heard. This was definitely a big moment for her.

She was amazing!! I loved every second of it. So upbeat and fun, and the Million Reasons break was perfect - I got shivers during that part. I would have preferred if Applause was in there but regardless, it was an incredible performance!

I think Taylor or Pink are the next ones in line. Britney could also be but I guess she must re-establish herself a bit first

Taylor probably do it, album in Q4, VMA, AMA, Superbowl, Grammy, Brits.... perfect lineup for promotions.
gaga's performance was okay. it was typical gaga performance minus big clothes and props. which makes kinda meh.. it was really safe and kinda boring compare to old gaga's performances. I guess it was nice balance for GP who was tired of all that gaga thing, but don't wanna recent gaga thing. and it feels more like VMA show style, not bigger than life halftime show style.

I actually think that Taylor really has to headline the Halftime Show before 2020. She's undoubtedly one of the biggest pop superstars in the world and she's the only one (along with Britney & Rihanna) who really is THAT big to do the SB Halftime.
