I have to say, she looks stunning for her age and is in great shape. As for the show,IMO, I thought it was over produced and reeking of overkill. I could not hear any of the music of the quality I associate with Madonna. I am still a Madonna fan however.

Me too, and I'm not even religious.

Guys, we get this cyclical discussion every year. It is what it is. Excess, showbiz, glitz, razzamatazz, and so on.

When we go out as OMB's we go to please our audiences, and that's what I'd think Madonna and co. probably set out to do as well here, I'd say that this halftime show accomplished that goal in probably 99% of its viewing audience.

The only difference between her show and ours (collectively) is possibly, nay probably, payscale.

Well, 'cept for DonM, Ian, Donny, et al.

I was gonna mention Tony Hughes as well, but then when someone asked him if he thought he'd make a tenor (read tenner) he reckoned he'd be lucky to make 7/6d. (Ye olde English joke). :D:D

Yes, Madonna looked good, and I thought it was nice that she maintained a level of decorum - which cannot be said for some of her co-performers ...
I actually heard 2 guys talking about the bird flip on TV today and one guy said he felt it was offensive, while the other guy said "stuff like that keeps it real" ... is that where we are??? we have to flip the bird on INTERnational tv to "keep it real"?!?!?

BRING BACK THE MARCHING BANDS!!!

T look at it this way a flip is better then a wardrobe malfunction !!

DITTO!

Dunno ! I slept thru it. Woke up just after the start of the 4th quarter.

Bill, when you reply the 5th icon that looks like a screen is the one that will embed videos for you. If you have popups disabled the first time you click on it and pick a video type ( eg. YouTube ) you will have to then temporarily allow scripted windows and then do it one more time and enter the URL when it prompts you.

BTW ... I see NBC and the NFL have apologized for the bird flip ... guess we shouldn't hold our breath waiting for one from MIA ...
