DID SHE BRING IT TO THE SUPER BOWL?


Madonna's “Vogue” entrance, accompanied by an army of Gladiators on a vast video carpet - IS -Madonna at her finest.
Who's that girl? THAT'S the Madonna I recognise.
Madonna proved that she saved HER pennies and hired the right creative teams.
A creative team, able to put on a spectacle of that magnitude.
They set it up in 8 minutes, crammed all those songs/ themes in to 12 minutes and took it all down in 7 minutes.
Showbiz at it's finest!
The impeccable timing, the lights, the rising stage, the electronic stuff flashing, the dancers and God knows I LOVE marching bands.
Madonna herself?
Tiny Madonna was quickly lost in all the extravaganza.
She showed us that she can move in those mofo high heal boots and even do a few cartwheels.
Telling us to give her all our L.U.V because she is the Queen of Pop.
With the exception of that glorious wicked-ass crown, her wardrobe choices were not good - at all.
Drab, Drab and Yuck.
The Haute Couture designer in me instantly noticed the bottom point of the "V" on her Like A Prayer gown doing something funky.
It did not match up and the zipper was slightly off to the right side. TSK, TSK.

I would say Madonna's performances were at best, mediocre
until.......
Like A Prayer.
Like A Prayer was fantastic, as I expected it to be.
Cee-Lo was an outstanding vocal choice, his voice brought the house down.
I've got to give them both props for performing on that rising chunk of the stage.
The stage seemed to keep rising and in the end it was waaaay high.
I would have shit my pants, gotten vertigo and fainted.
And then BOOM. Ol' Madge disappeared in a huge cloud of smoke.
Such a HUGE burst of smoke that I didn't see the house fall on her.
Ding dong, she was gone ;)

PS: THIS continues to hold court as the best Superbowl Half Time Show ever.
It would appear that Mother Nature helped choreographed the Opening Number.
She made the Purple Rain fall from the sky to the opening music notes.
