don’t they ever get some one from this century?!

what a stupid thing to say. rolling stones and other (even older) performers did the same show in recent years. music and performances are NOT about age.
ps. madonna is STLL about this century, man. and she will stay for years to come….

I guess Jo wants Lady Gaga.

I think that’s exactly what @Jo was saying- the people they have perform were popular years ago and are old. Maybe that’s what the super bowl viewers want though… most of them probably grew up during her popularity period and were fans of hers and are excited about this.

I am personally a college student, and Madonna has never been cool or big to my generation (at least no 20ish or under people I have ever met are huge fans) so I would rather have someone that peaked musically sometime in the last 10 years or so. Someone currently on the Billboard Hot 100 or something like that…

But obviously they can’t please everyone with their pick, and like I said, maybe she is popular with a lot of their older/middle aged viewers…

Have the paramedics on hand.

Because they have no talent?

Kids, someday you will be old if you make it that far.

Black Eyed Peas were AWFUL last year. I felt embarrassed for them.
I don’t want Lady gaga, or katy perry.

This would be my first time watching the super bowl then if Madonna is to perform.

I’d love to see Emenim perform at Super Bowl

LMFAO!!!! Mertiia i love you

Madonna, and many of the older, real artists have more talent in their pinky than the newer artists of the past decade all put together. The newer artists can barely sing live. The newer talent mostly depends on props, Pro Tools, lighting and sex cuz they sure can’t sing. They sure wouldn’t want to lean on their singing performance only. Most of the newer talent has been disasterous. Too bad the newer talent can’t lean on their vocals and stage performance rather than theatrics. Madonna is also in better shape, and can out-sing and out-perform most newer talent (such as Katy Perry, Brittany Spears, Taylor Swift, Black Eyed Peas, all the rappers, etc.) Lady Gag (yes, I meant “gag”) has talent, if you can wade thru and stomach all her crap and antics that are mostly nauseating and distracting. Which is why she was NOT considered by the committee. Too bizarre and unpredictable. So all you 20-something’s that want to see someone contemporary at the Super Bowl, pray some real talent is cultivated, rather than the music biz depending solely on theatrics & sex of the younger group who can’t even be called “artists”.

Suggestion for 2012 Super Bowl halftime performance……Adam Lambert with Queen. Watch the video from the MTV Europe Music Awards in which he sings three songs with Queen. Brilliant!! No Madonna….

why not metallica? they are celebrateing 30 years as a band this year!

how about we skip her and go with Rise Against? eh? good idea right?

i could do Metallica to..

If you really want a real show and show our pride in our Service Men, now and past you should do the show the West VA University did to honor America…..while we love to see our celebrities…..try honoring America….watch You Tube W VA half time show…..get with it Super Bowl…..honor our fallen!

BOOOOOO! Taylor Swift would be much more brilliant than Madonna at the Super Bowl!

The term “awful” doesn’t adequately describe how bad they were. On the other hand, the Who in 2010 were unbelievably good.

I am highly disappointed by this choice. I like football, and I think if they are going to have the game of the year then they should get a performer who is more modern and liked by the younger crowd. I will be watching the game but not this half-time performance.
