No comments on the half time show. But here in New England fans are weeping for sure. The traffic on my 55 mile commute to the Boston area which passes within 2 miles of the stadium where the Patriots play was lighter than ever. Even at 6:20 AM traffic is usually crawling. This morning it was more like driving into the office on a Monday holiday. The Starbucks near the office where I pick up a brew was more like a funeral home.

I thought it was sad watching a once proud pop star try to be relevant again. That's why she had LMFAO, Cee-Lo, Niki-Manaj, and Rapper MIA on stage with her; to "contemporize" the show for younger fans. She couldn't hold the audience on her own. When was the last time you and YOUR family sang Madonna tunes in the car on the way to the grocery store??? (as opposed to "Forget You" and "LMFAO - Every day I'm shufflin'"

I didn't appreciate getting the "finger" from Rapper M.I.A.

Who cares, the Giants won and that's all that matters. Sorry, Pats fans ;-(

PS...aside from British Singer M.I.A.'s flipping the bird while singing when kids are watching was uncalled for..And the shameless promotion of the show the "VOICE" all night long was a bit much.......
& yes it was ALL lip syncing......only thing missing was a Wardrobe malfunction !

Finger Flip

I just watched some of the performance - I think it would have worked better actually being there, lip sync wouldn't have been such an issue. Maybe the stadium cant support live vocal..who knows?

At least the Patriots have something to talk about tonight to take their minds of the rest of the event!



I saw Kylie's Aphrodite concert, she did something very similar last year, but of course it was all live:



I think they both draw inspiration from each other.

I don't care how much they hype up bowling (calling it "super" for instance), I'm just not a fan.

I'm glad I don't have Television, and I wouldn't waste my time watching rappers, lip-synchers and bird-flippers on my PC either.

Next thing you know they'll be doing this stuff at dart tournaments.

Bottom line is she probably made a half million bucks while I was taking a pp break!

I wonder which one of you felt better afterward!

Like a Coke, the halftime p:

The thing that struck me was how odd it was to see her body all covered up with wardrobe.

At age 54, she's still getting around, although word is she pulled a hamstring at rehearsal. Was a bit stiff...

Madonna stumbles

The girl who shot the bird, that was truly lame.
