    Madonna Embarrasses Herself At Super Bowl XLVI

    Written by TriniTrent | Filed under Cee Lo Green,LMFAO,Madonna,Nicki Minaj

    After weeks of intense promotion, Madonna finally hit the stage at Super Bowl XLVI. Joined by Nicki Minaj, M.I.A, Cee Lo Green and LMFAO, the icon performed several of her classic tunes as well as her new single, ‘Give Me All Your Luvin”.

    Madonna will release her highly anticipated ‘M.D.N.A.’ album on March 26th. The record will also include the songs ‘Girls Gone Wild’ and ‘Turn Up The Radio’. Click here to listen to snippets of both those tracks.

    Watch Madonna’s Super Bowl set below:

    The stage setup, the dancers, the light show and the special guests, especially Cee Lo Green, were all great but Madonna was a complete mess. Her choreography was stiff, she lip-synced every moment of the show and she looked incredibly desperate to prove that she could still compete with the younger generation.

    Yes, Madonna is 53 years of age so obviously she might have been experiencing some limitations but if that was the case then she should have tailored the concert to compensate for those problems. We were supposed to have been amazed by this Super Bowl showing but I’m honestly hoping that she didn’t collapse backstage from exhaustion.

    Thanks Mr. World Premiere!

    Thoughts?

      The Vogue Entrance was great! I hope Gaga wasnt watching. Something else to steal..

    • Maverick

      ooops
      old donna needs to retire. That’s it. Zero ounce of vocal talent, lame ass choreo, nothing impressive except the lighting, stage and the costumes.

    • jiji

      I AGREE !!!!!! ALL THAT SHIT SHE WAS TALKING , ND SHE GAVE ME NOTHING, HOWEVER THAT ENTRANCE WAS EVERYTHING YESSS!!!!

    • theman

      I thought she did very good, she was careful. But she let go as she went on. Also, she should have worn better shoes. She was very cautious.

    • Theman4u

      She was stiff but she is 53

    • Toni

      The entrance was great…but it went downhill pretty quickly

    • Cliff

      come on really? she did great. it was amazing ! and you have a typo, you said his several ? lol

    • Tahj M.

      ” Her choreography was stiff, she lip-synced every moment of the show and she looked incredibly desperate to prove that she could still compete with the younger generation. ” That could’ve been said about EVERY Mariah’s performance of one of her up tempos …

    • Shea Butter

      @Madonna – Please sashay away

    • Ms. Boss

      HOTMESS.COM!!!!!!! Woooooooooooow I’m actually feeling sad…that was so awkward.

      @Tahj Mariah is NOT known for her dancing. She is a singer. Madonna is a performer and now she can’t even do that! What does she have to offer now????? NOTHING.

    • Ariana

      LOL @ that picture.

      I do think Madonna is in one point of her career where she should reconsider other options/ideas. This is not about putting “expiration dates” on women, is about being who you really are as an artist but as a person as well.

      An over 50 year old woman cannot pretend she’s 20 something anymore.
      She can still make music, great quality music, without loosing track of who she is.

      She better stop competing with the Rihannas and Lady Gagas of this world because if she actually thinks she can still do it… she’s clearly living in the past.
      This is a something that I think all divas from the 80s, 90s should take in consideration. Younger generations don’t want another Lady Gaga when they actually have Lady Gaga. You can call Madonna “legendary” or “queen” if you wish, but let’s be real, her “prime” is already gone and most of these kids do not appreciate a lesson on music history because they’re too lazy to care what happened 10-15-20 years ago.

      Let the music speak for yourself.

    • !!!

      BIG ANG!!!!!! LOL. Wow Poor Madge!

    • Patrick

      she should have shown her wringled coochie at least that was going to make pple talk all the comments on twitter abt her perfomance are out of sympathy pple are bringing up the age a 50 year old she should stick to vitacoco

    • dannbfly

      Hey madonna ,kylie minogue called she wants her tour/album theme back k thanks bye

    • The Truth

      All that talking out the side of her mouth she did about Janet these last couple of weeks smh.

    • Ugh

      she talked the talk but couldn’t walk the walk. all that smack talking and this is they type of show she puts on? I was so waiting for her to trip and fall. the performance was shaky.

    • olly_tei

      Lool, the 1st her was good considering she’s 53(?)…. but they shouldn’t be handing out these perfomance slots like their charity! Get people who are at the top of their game, we want to be blown away, this is not a time to honour artist who may have been great 20 years ago………. without a doubt Gaga should have performed this year!

    • olly_tei

      1st half*

    • Yolanda

      @Ariana and let the church say Amen!

    • THATOTHERGAL

      Madonna needed all of that extra stage, a million dancers and all those guest artist because you know what? Shes over 40 now and no one is here for her grinding on a stage alone. Tho Janet Jackson had the infamous ” Wardrobe Malfunction” her Superbowl performance was just her and a few dancers, no EXTRA fluff to keep us interested beyond her natural talent. * except the last 5 seconds with the boob* Madonna’s choreography was horrible, she could never dance, the lipping was SOOOOOO OBVIOUS, she almost fell like 10 times, and all that stage did was help me see that shes not a great artist. If she was, she isnt anymore. This is coming from a fan of her earlier work. I stopped in 2006 with her and music. Its been terrible.

    • Micky

      oOh Please Just Cause Madonna 53 She Should Get a Pass Please! Tina Turner 72 Could Have Turn That Out!

    • Theman4u

      Lmao@tahj

    • Ronald

      She may have lipsynced a bit but I heard a lil of herseft too, besides It was great show… what I didnt like was she took some stuff from Les Folies Tour from Kylie….

    • MK81091

      Well………………………………………………. Cee Lo Green sounded Great!

    • !!!

      Good call Ronald. I knew something seem a bit…well, borrowed.

    • Bri

      I thought it was pretty good. She was a little stiff at some parts but she loosened up eventually. She has said that she was very nervous going into it.
      I’m pretty sure Trent already had an opinion going into the show because of her “shading” Janet, even though she really didn’t. Some people should let simple stuff go and just be open-minded. She put on a decent show. And it was much better than last year and the year before. I’m pretty sure Madonna isn’t embarrassed at all.

    • yawn

      her moves may have been a little been stiff in some parts, but she definitely put on a great show. if you call this embarrassing then every show someone like rihanna has put on is down right horrendous. madonna did a good job. it was not overwhelming but it was alright.
      you still have not learnt to separate ‘being honest’ from over exaggeration. calling this embarrassing is ridiculous. what exactly did she do in this show that she hasn’t been doing her whole career. madonna lip syncing is nothing new and she performed how she has been performing over the years :s
      britney at the 2007 vmas was embarrassing. this, not at all.

    • DF

      Everyone seemed to have loved the entrance and it wasn’ t even Madonna’s! She ripped off the Roman theme from Kylie Minogue’s Aphrodite Les Folies 2011 tour.

    • baf

      trent u are a tranny bitch stay mad THE TRUE QUEEN OF POP IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FUCK LADY CACA FUCK SHITNEY SPEARS

    • gurl_stop

      Really– I think she could’ve done a backward flip in the crowd and ppl would say neg. things…I read ppl sayin things like unclassy– she didn’t do anything unclassy. This was not one of her world tours. The SuperBowl Halftime show requires someone who brings action to the stage..Someone who has mobility. Thats why you would never see performers like Celine Dion, Aretha Franklin or Mariah Carey. No one is gonna sit in their seats for 14 mins to see someone stand there and just sing or lip sync

    • yawn

      THIS WAS A DECENT PERFORMANCE. NOTHING SPECTACULAR BUT DECENT ALL THE SAME. TO CALL THIS EMBARRASSING IS RIDICULOUS.

    • x

      you know what was more embarrassing? this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ac2PhWvtK4

    • Bri

      Why are people criticizing her for lipsyncing? First of all, she doesn’t always lipsync. She usually sings live.
      And second of all do you know how many people before her have lipsynced at the Superbowl? TONS! It’s incredibly difficult to hear yourself in stadiums like that. That doesn’t take away from her performance. Michael Jackson lipped his entire show and still managed to put on one of the greatest (if not the greatest) Superbowl halftime shows of all time. Whitney Houston lipped what’s known to be the greatest rendition of the National Anthem. It’s incredibly rare when someone sings live at those things.

    • Grrr

      Woulda been fresh if she’d had flat boots to move in

    • Joss

      OK, so next year Britney can perform (lip sync) too :S

    • MeMe

      I didn’t hate it. But all the people saying it was amazing need a reality check. At the end of the day, she didn’t sing, someone choreographed it for her, and someone put the concept together so what did she actually do that was amazing???

      People have come to accept shit and try and pass it off as amazing these days.

    • MISHKA

      Don’t be mean, Trent. The performance was great overall. The stage, the dancers and the medley were incredible.

      Madonna has an undying signature sound. ‘GAYL’ sounds just like ‘Vogue’ which was recorded like 20 years ago!
      I like the fact that although she used her guests singers to hype her show, she actually interacted with them, especially Cee-Lo who deserves this kind of treatment.

      Very decent performance. Madonna would never go wrong with “Vogue” and “Like a Prayer”. #NeverHappening

    • fitsy82

      Madonna is 53 and showing these bitches half her age how to put on a real show! Yes SHOW! GaGa can barely move on stage and when she does it is some lame shit Madonna did decades ago! As for the Kylie comments, she did a Greek Goddess and was wheeled on in a Greek chariot by Grecian slaves, Madonna?SHE was Cleopatra pulled in on an elegant chez by Anthony’s Roman legions… Talk about unintelligent Kylie fans, know your European history!

    • Chile Please

      I’m not a Madonna fan but that was pretty good, the dancing was stiff at some part but the visuals were amazing and the overall production was great.. she did her thing for 53

    • clint

      It feels……..reductive. Look it up

    • clint

      It feels……..reductive. Look it up!

    • WonderLand19

      I enjoyed it :D

    • http://www.twitter.com/ThatBoyLuke ThatBoyLuke

      LMAO i can’t get over how pressed Trent is by Madonna lately… She SLAYED that is the popular consensus so deal with it. You got the cheek to chat about Madonna’s “stiff dancing” while stanning for Mariah’s tired and delayed 2 step shuffle and then you come for her lip syncing when Mariah lip syncs standing still and most people do it at the half time show anyway because of the acoustics so deal with it.

      Gaga was in the audience so expect some $2.00 reductive knock off that Trent will praise to high heaven soon.

    • Naudisweet(Xtina Stan)

      The performance was very good, Vogue and Like a Prayer were the best. As for her age, Rihanna, Gaga and all the rest will be her age one day, if they are so lucky. Who cares if she’s 53, she obviously still enjoys performing, and millions of people still enjoy it. Why stop because some people are bothered?
      SN: Still can’t get into her new song. Oh well

    • Me

      Some of you are buying into to Trent’s opinion that he already had of Madonna he was first to bring up Madonna age and comparing what she did to anything that Mariah could hence hence his commentary throughout and after the performance. Was the show amazing no but surely there was nothing embrassing about it

    • Ni

      I agree with @Micky. Because she 53 gets a pass for being able to somewhat dance after all the mess she was talking. Trent needs to post a video of Tina Turner 70 she is kicking a** in 5 inch heels at her concert to show people what a real performer is. Madonna led everyone to believe that she was going to show the world what a real performance and all she did was use smoking mirrors (big productions, dancers, today pop artists, marching band same as Janet and choir).

    • Bri

      @Ni
      Smoke and mirrors? All that stuff you mentioned in Madonna’s performance, Janet had too, with the exception of a choir.
      It’s true that Janet had the superior show due to her energy. But lets not act like she didn’t have all the bells and whistles as well as a backing track.
      Also, from what I hear, Madonna was recovering from a hamstring injury. So either she was being extra careful or she was in agony. I’m not trying to make excuses for her or anything, because she could have been much better. But an injury like that would explain a lot.

    • Ni

      @ bri
      Thank you for the pleasant response. I agree and if she was recovering from a hamstring then that would explain a lot as you said. Don’t get me wrong I love Madonna since the 80′s and she talks a good game that what I like about her beside the music and style but don’t talk crap about others unless you can back it up. She made such a big deal about Janet. I was expecting soooo much more. Madonna and Janet are the Queens of Pop. I guess my hopes were a little to high.

    • Bri

      @Ni
      I honestly don’t think she meant any harm with the whole “nipple” thing. When she said “You don’t have to show nipples to be interesting” or whatever it was she said, she was answering in the context of which the question was asked. The interviewer pretty much asked her if she was gonna play it safe (in other words, boring) like the other performers or if she was gonna do something “naughty” and exciting like Janet (who didn’t really “plan” anything “naughty”). I took Madonna’s response as saying that she doesn’t intend on being boring or safe and that exposed nipples don’t make for excitement or memorability. That’s just me though. I highly doubt she was trying to demean Janet as a performer or as an artist. And I think people blew it out of proportion because everyone loves a good old fashion diva catfight. Look at her comments on Gaga. Everyone remembers the “reductive” comment. But does anyone remember the praise she gave Gaga’s talent and her connection to the gay community? No. ‘Cause that doesn’t sell or attract hits.
      It’s ok to have such high hopes for someone like Madonna. I admit I was tad bit let down, but I still think she did great. And I appreciate your pleasant response as well. =)

    • jewerely girl

      Madonna did look stiff at times but she did O.K. I don’t
      know why she invited C C Lee lo Green he brought
      nothing to the show.

    • Jay

      I’d 1st like to say that yes it could have been better…I would have like 2 see more choreography but it was not bad or nowhere near it…Bad and embarrassing is Britney VMA 07…this definitely comes nowhere close to that…Trent is obviously bias because he likes Janet…and if Madge was still recovering from the hamstring injury then no wonde she was moving a lil gingerly

      I was wondering why she was so stiff…did she have an injury?
      Anyway – Prince was great when he performed the last time. All he had was himself & his guitar…and some dancers. With all that entrance (what a waste) the Superbowl 2012 was so bland and the the crotch/carwheel shot was so passe for her. It seemed that with all her experience and props – she could have done an outstanding show…not such a boring one.

    • Ray

      Embarassed herself? Did you see last year’s half-time show? It was a disaster. This year’s was great. The only reason why Madonna was a bit off was because she was injured. (And quite frankly I didn’t even really notice it until other people brought it to my attention.) If you even took a second to YouTube her tour footage you’d know that she can still perform just as well as she always has.
