@mikeryan: At halftime, I hope Madonna plays "Gambler" from the Vision Quest soundtrack. Just that. No explanation.

@cleolinda: How bad is it? I can't find the remote.

@particle_p: @cleolinda OMG EXCELLENT TURN THIS ON. She went with a quasi Roman theme, as kind of an obvious jab at the proceedings. ;-)

The part where the opening bit reminded the entire internet of Luminosity's vid was the best part.

That half time show was everything I could have wanted and MORE.

Also: Cee Lo looks like he teaches at disco Hogwarts.

LOL FOREVER. I wonder what subject he would teach at disco hogwarts?

[jettcat]

I so read that as Cee Lo looks like he teaches disco at Hogwart...

EXACTLY! It was technically not-good, but I DID NOT CARE, because it was AWESOME. It was SO over-the-top that they had to put a tarp over the hole in the roof. And most importantly, I felt like the performers, all of them, were having fun and being goofy.

Well, my sister's obsessed with LMFAO and blasted them for about seven hours straight yesterday, so I would have kicked in the TV if I had had it on.

YES PRINCE

ALWAYS PRINCE

That Best of You/All Along the Watchtower cover(s?) was probably the best musical moment I've ever seen at a football game.

Prince's halftime show remains one of the high points of American culture, as far as I'm concerned.

As I said on twitter, no one can ever doubt Cee Lo's commitment to sparkle motion.:)

[heathrow]

Cee Lo brings the fabulous sparkle. I puffy heart Cee Lo.

Ever since Lady Gaga hit the stage, other artists have had to up their weirdness stage performances to even tread water.

Examples:

I think Madonna's performance being this off the wall was sadly inevitable. :(

I dunno if I buy that--Katy Perry and Lady Gaga both got famous at around same time, and Katy's early costumes weren't exactly subtle, either. Rihanna started on the crazy-weird costume thing around the time she was doing "Disturbia", which predates Gaga (and some of her costume craziness, like the bedazzled eyepatch she wore to one show, turned out to be ways to hide that her boyfriend was hitting her). And Bey basically started the current round fo the "popstars don't need pants" trend--though her videos certainly got weirder after Gaga.

[karitwilight]

I'm not saying Lady Gaga started all of it, but she certianly amped it up.

So basically because of Lady Gaga celebrities are now looking like characters out of the Hunger Games.
