I've never been much of a Madonna fan but I have to say that she totally rocked the half-time show!  The show was very well planned with fantastic choreography  and Madonna's vocals were flawless.  No lip-syncing this year!

I thought those guys flipping around on the bleachers were sick but that guy who was jumping on the tight rope was straight up nasty!  The only flub I saw was when Madonna tried to step up on the top bleacher bench and was a bit off balance and had to step down and back up again.  But like a true performer she didn't miss a beat and kept going.

yeah…good show.

Disappointing Pats loss..but life goes on….to spring baseball of course…pitchers and catchers in 2 weeks

I think she lip-synched.  Any performance with dancing has lip syncing, she is in shape, but there wasn't a hint of breathing… 

I must vehemently disagree.  Go to YouTube and watch the Shania Twain lip-sync performance a few years back.  There is no comparison.

Well comparing Shania to Madonna are really apples and oranges.  Shania at a concert doesn't dance around and spin, squat and hump.  She sits on a chair, walks around, etc. 

Madonna has been a performer since the beginning and has perfected the concert lip synching. 

Just think of how long it takes a true concert to set up in a stadium, all the sound checks, precise placement of speakers and monitors for the singer to hear their true voice.  The Superbowl had to do that in about 8 minutes. 

Madonna might of done some live singing, but the majority was synched and backtracked. You can run a google search and see the amount of articles on it.

Plus, remember when U2 played  live and how horrible they sounded…

Ok, so if possible, I may have to retract my first statement about the lip-sync thing.  Apparently, according to national talk radio sources; Madonna was in fact at certain times actually singing but the power to her microphone was cut off so in essence it really was a lip-sync.  And in regards to the dancers who were flipping on the bleachers and the tight rope guy, I am now less than impressed after finding out that they were from Cirque du Soleil.  Had I known that originally I probably wouldn't even have started this topic.

As for U2, I vaguely remember them but what I remember more recently is the Black Eyed Peas from last year and Fergie's horrifying vocals.

Prince was better than Madonna

lol…so true
