I really liked the performance. I wish she didn't lipsync but overall it was good. The light show that accompanied the performance was great from the aerial view. M.I.A. didn't have to flip off the audience though lol.

    I thought it was pretty good. I wish I could have her body at 53!

    I thought it sucked, but then I never did like her.

    It was crap. She was obviously lip syncing as her mouth and song were completely off. She couldn't get up on the bleachers the first time she tried and had to try again. I found it to be pathetic for 10 million dollars.

    I am not a fan nor do I dislike her singing.
    My opinion but if I want to hear someone sing then just sing dammit,if I want to see a dance routine then do that instead.
    Have hated that type of act since it started in the 80s.

    My husband and I watched her fall off the bleachers a couple times with our DVR...excellent stuff, right there!

    I liked it!!! I thought she did a really great job. And after last year and the year before, it was quite refreshing to see a performance worth watching.

    Well, they did make sure that her boobs stayed put.....I was expecting her to be in some type of bustier like she always is, but they went the safe route. overall, I guess it was ok...but I kept feeling like I was waiting for something that never happened............and really....what was the point in MIA flipping everyone off?

    Yep, 100% agreement. For someone who has been doing this for 30+ years I didn't understand why she felt the need to lip sync, and poorly. CeLo was the high point for me.

    Lip syncing really bothers me. I guess it would have been much more difficult to dance on bleachers AND sing at the same time but still... Do they all lip sync now during these halftime shows? It's so cheesy.

    But she looks amazing, and not just for her age. She has an incredible body for any age.

    Lip synched MTV performance. Tried to watch. Lasted about 4 minutes before I was bored with it.

    I thought it was fairly entertaining for a SB halftime show. My main takeaway was, "she's getting old..." Too bad that I can relate. :)

    I thought it was alright, I just kept waiting for it to pick up a bit, but it never did. I do think she looks amazing!

    She lip-synced, she almost fell, she was very stiff...I guess her body doesn't like those heels at 53.

    Like a prayer was good....the rest :yawn:

    Wait the dude on the wire...that was pretty cool. Madonna flopping around like a dead fish...was not.

    I don't understand people's negative attitudes about lip-synching. It is next to impossible to get a good audio signal to your television for something like that. It's hard to get good live audio for those in attendance. Also, most people cannot sing and dance very well. Many can do one or the other, but both at the same time is very difficult to pull off live.

    Whether you like Madonna or not, this was a SHOW, not a singing performance. She entertained. I understand that lip-synching seems fake and "cheating" - and to some extent it is. But the performance was about the show. And I think she delivered.

    I'm disappointed about MIA's choice to flip the bird, though. Not because (gasp!) it's inappropriate and our children's minds could be destroyed, but because her actions are being talked about more than the performance. I'm a big MIA fan, but wish she hadn't done that. Although it is comical how prudish we all are.

    Overall, I just didn't like it. It was all over the place. The whole cheerleader thing felt childish and the end message of "world peace" was out of place with the rest of the performance. The lip synching didn't bother me in itself (think about BEP's horrible sound last year) but the fact that someone with so much experience couldn't get her timing correct on it did. It wasn't polished or professional at all, IMHO. I think the fact that she had to have 4 other performers on stage with her says a lot. Especially when many people seem to have liked the guest performers more than her.

    I'd watch that! I mean Van Halen would be all cool because they just got David Lee Roth back. Or Queen, seriously, why not Queen?!?!

    IMO: Absolutely HORRIBLE! I think Nicki Minaj, Cee Lo Green, and LMFAO made it better, but Madonna needs to hang 'em up. Her career is washed up. (Was much better in the 80's but now she's a has been.)

    I liked it. It was overall entertaining which is what it was meant to be. I think Madonna looks awesome for her age and some past performers really would have been better off lip synching. I don't know who MIA is and missed the finger - not that I really care... She probably just wanted to be talked about - and that's what everyone is doing so...
