  1. Stupid jeans, hot shoes, + you're cute as always.
  2. lol with only like 5 more reported dates, she's out-grossed and outsold the Femme Fatale tour (which is supposed to be an arena tour). I'm happy with how she's doing.
  3. Or that she basically Xeroxed Madonna's career for her overarching theme of "reinventions..."
  4. Oct 3, 2011 - Madonna will perform during the Super Bowl XLVI halftime show at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on February 5, sources close to the event told SBNation.com on Monday. A spokesperson for the NFL declined to comment. As you'd expect for an artist with her mass appeal, this isn't the first time Madonna's been approached about performing at the Super Bowl. In 1998, it was heavily rumored that Madonna would perform at Super Bowl XXXIII in Miami, only to have the plans fall apart before a deal could be reached. Likewise, Madonna was reportedly to headline the halftime show for Super Bowl XXXV, two years later, but backed out at the last minute. None of which is to say that she's a stranger to the Super Bowl spotlight. As recently as 2008, Madonna's music was used in a commercial for SunSilk hair products, for which the singer was paid $10 million, according to Rolling Stone. So where does Madonna fit in the lineage of Super Bowl halftime performers? Let's take a look at the past 10 years. For the moment, the biggest question is how much freedom she gets from the NFL. Madonna of the '80s and '90s would've been a pretty interesting experiment at the Super Bowl, as no female artist this side of Janet Jackson would've been more likely to push the envelope as far as costumes, themes, and stageplay is concerned. After the debacle with Janet Jackson in 2004, old school Madonna would've been far too risky for the NFL. But today's Madonna is a mom more famous for charity than lack of chastity, and a natural fit for the NFL's biggest stage, especially considering the direction the NFL's taken in the years since 2004's controversy. She may not match Prince, but she's better than Paul McCartney, and certainly an upgrade over 2011's apocalyptic amalgam of the Black Eyed Peas, a half-dead Slash, and Usher. So, if we can accept that the NFL's not going to give us any relevant new music (like, say, Jay-Z and Kanye West), then fans could certainly do worse than Madonna, right? The Super Bowl and its halftime show will be televised live on NBC on February 5th, 2012. Stay tuned for further comments from Madonna and/or the NFL as the news emerges.
  5. NO, I thought it was peculiar just because X already did it. She didn't do it particularly well (I like the songs but anything she touches turns to shit), so I'm sure Madge will do it better. But you know what I mean. She didn't used to follow trends like this. ANYWAY. Update next post!
  6. I've been addicted to "Mr. Know It All" today, and some Kate Bush stuff. Right now it's "Never Be Mine" by Kate Bush.
  7. Hm. It's a little peculiar after Xtina did the same thing.
  8. NO!! That song is PERFECT! But this one is GODLY!!!
  9. No, I think it's gorgeous. I forgot about Madonna's little acoustic early '00s promo niche. It's not perfect but it's cute.
  10. Björk really outdid herself with that one. Here's Lola from the other day, promoting her clothing line with Kelly Osbourne. I find it kind of ironic that it's the Material Girl clothing line when Madonna has renounced that nickname over the years.
  11. How could it be possible that it only went Gold here, after all those weeks on the Hot 100? She is shitting with those Hong Kong sales
  12. Holy chit. I didn't know it was already slaying radio. Only Slaydele Thanks for answering all my questions, Babs
  13. Do we think "Someone Like You" will have any American longevity?
  14. Ass, she looked like a monster last week. This is a HUGE improvement and I got excited. You guys think her cheeks look funky now? Let's compare Today >>>> That
  15. OMG SHE LOOKS AMAZING HER FACE IS NORMAL NOW At the Toronto Film Festival press conference, earlier today: Arriving at the W.E. screening: legend
  16. MN is full of bitter, queeny, 40-year-old trolls who try to out-wit each other.
  17. I've never heard it, but I'm listening to it now. I already think I like it more than Mezzanine; it seems more acoustic and organic. Yeah. OT: I'm a little worried for Maddy's new album. The only thing about it that concerns me is how she is going back to Orbit, who she hasn't used for such a long time, and it's unlike her to return to an old collaborator like that. I don't want another COAD; you can't top an album like that.
