Madonna has been confirmed as the halftime performer at the Super Bowl this year. She will be joined by Cirque De Soleil. The performance will coincide with the release of her first single and album in three years. Do you think it will be any good? Halftime shows never seem to be that great. It is just too fast and too lip synched and by then I am pretty drunk and am not in the mood for a 30 minute halftime.

Her thighs scare me.
I don't understand. They could just play the recorded version of her songs and it would just as good, because you know damn well she's not going to actually sing. Would rather have had someone that doesn't use auto-tune and who can actually sing and who has had a hit in the last decade, but whatever.
Not as much as her veiney arms do!
But big M always delivers, show wise. I'll watch!
I have a bit of a "meh, seen it" attitude toward her. and for god's sake, get a decent haircut.
The demographic they are going for with the half-time shows is an aging one: Bruce Springsteen, Prince, The Rolling Stones and Paul McCartney have all been recent acts.
I wonder why they aren't going for a younger audience to build future watchers of the game???
yawn.
And millions take a bathroom break. . .
yeah this is super lame. madonna is EXACTLY what a bunch of drunk football fans want to see. thank god other channels do better halftime shows. we always find something better to switch to.
Never been a fan - I was in the music business when she was first starting out, sleeping with all the R&D people she could, and watched some hearts be broken when they realized they too had been used.
There is something about football that makes me want to listen to a loud rock band. Definitely not Madonna. I never watch the half time show anyway though, so I don't really care.
Looks like it's the puppy bowl for me again during halftime!
It will be atrocious! She will not be able to control the logistics or the layout, and large numbers of people there will be haters, and it has disaster written all over it. Worst of all will be the people mumbling, "Why is Jocelyn Wildenstein on that stage up there?"
her movie will be out then also...
Prince's halftime show was good. The other old timers ranged from average to just plain bad. I expect Madonna to fall somewhere on that scale.
If she can't lose the 1980s spiral perm, she could at least touch up her roots.
I'm tired of her and all the desperately hanging on to youth 50-somethings. I think it's admirable to always try to look as good as you could, but let's be honest, in the 50s and 60s there is a softening of the lines, a melting of sorts, that seems to go with age. God, the amount of work it must take to remain a hardbody at her age! Not worth all that to me.
well, its an interesting choice. i'm trying not to picture the bumping and grinding, and poor lourdes face. i'm so glad my mom was really lame and conservative.
Puppy Bowl?!?!!? Really?? I would watch that!
The puppy bowl on Animal Planet is fantastic! It's just a bunch of puppies tumbling around and playing on a tiny indoor football field. It's beyond cute. And the puppies are all rescues.
Love the Puppy Bowl. I think the kittens are on at halftime.
I made a comment at another site that they should have picked someone for this generation. Madonna is too old in my thinking. Even though she exercise's and goes to the extreme to look young she is aging bad. Her body looks weird and not attractive.
Wonder why they didn't pick someone like Lady Gaga to perform instead.
I can say that a lot of us here in Indy are not excited by the choice. The front runner in most of the "who would you like to perform" polls was the Foo Fighters followed by Gaga. Could have been worse with home grown John Mellencamp as the most boring safe choice ever (in my head he pulls Meg Ryan onstage a la Courtney Cox/Springsteen style).
And for the first time ever, super bowl sales of HD TVs go *down*, because no one wants to see her veiny, overly muscled physique in such detail.
Don't care who's on at halftime as long as my beloved Packers are playing.
And for those of us who care about the actual game, the 30+ minute halftime at the Super Bowl is way too fucking long.
Will Cirque de Soleil be performing WHILE she sings? Cause if so, I'll watch. I LOVE Cirque de Soleil. Madonna just lip-synching though? No thanks.
Also forgot to mention that the Big 10 Championship was here this weekend, which I attended (Michigan St. vs. Wisconsin). They tried to treat it as a trial run for the Super Bowl & several places ran out of beer. I watched a six pack be auctioned off for $50.
They don't get someone younger because the Super Bowl has never gotten over the Janet Jackson fiasco. There hasn't been anybody below age 50 since.
@ Syko, I read on another blog this morning that some women who are older are now getting their roots colored dark so everyone thinks that's their natural hair color, not gray, which it probably is by then.
I for one am thrilled! Hopefully she will play the classics and not new stuff - and I am a huge Cirque fan. I haven't been this excited for a halftime show since ... ever, really.
@ktheletter: Foo Fighters would have been an PHENOMINAL choice!! Jut saw them live and they rock the party!!
honestly, cirque is a bigger draw for me than madonna. i caught the final final night of the 'zarkana' 2011 run a little while back and it was spectacular. i'll watch for them alone.
Oooooh Madonna...the perm is so 1986, the dark roots were cutting edge round about 1998.
Honey, you're just a parody of who you used to be.
I hope she's singing, and her taped voice over goes out. Heh.
The SuperBowl picks dinosaur acts because when they've had younger, more contemporary acts in the past, ratings and reviews were not good. Face it, a huge percentage of the audience views this as a family show, and they don't see hiphop or rap as family music. Same problem with Lady Gaga - she's gonna offend Grandma, even if Gramps likes looking at her with the sound turned off.
The thing about the dinosaur acts is, they've been huge draws *forever*. Just about everybody likes them, which is why they keep touring, and why they show up as the halftime show. They simply appeal to a broader spectrum than do the contemporary acts.
In twenty years, whatever contemporary acts are still around and performing will be the dinosaur acts of that era, and as such will be headlining the SuperBowl halftime show.
i hate her. the last good super bowl halftime show was the blackeyed peas. best one ever, IMO.
i'll get a snack or something. have no interest in seeing this aging bag stick her twat out at everyone.
Who the hell watches the halftime show? That's the time to pee and stretch your legs so you don't end up with a DVT or pulmonary embolism. You avoid Madonna and blood clots at the same time.
sherri dee, thanks for pointing out that I am aging. I hadn't realized the halftime show was aimed at the elderly---lol.
I think the Maddona/Cirque combo would work very well. But in front of that type of audience? Not so sure When you think of football, you don't think of Madonna. But saying that, I do know she will give a fucking good show. Whether the audience appreciates it or not I have no idea. Good move on the superbowls part though. A lot of people who would NEVER watch a football game will probably be watching this just so they can see Madonna. And it is all about ratings in the end.
I'm with Cancan. Probably be the highlight of the game alongside the commercials. Madonnas pretty good in concert. Biatch werks it.
Can't hate. She entertains. Go M!
I know this is the Jersey Girl in me tawkin, but I totally think Bon Jovi should be the halftime show for the Super Bowl. I know they would bring down the house.
I find it interesting that Madonna is doing it considering her whole anti-America/British accent phase. Guess she's moved on from that in an effort to boost record sales. Whatever...
@Barton Fink! That's mean! But I laughed, pretty hard. ;)
I don't follow NFL, so the halftime show is the one thing I DO pay attention to at a party! And usually the acts are pretty terrible.
Talk about old: whatever happened to marching bands?
