Madonna Upstaged by Singer's Vulgar Gesture

1b971fe61c1cee55ea208603611e0a19.jpeg

You wanted provocation at the Super Bowl halftime show? Madonna chickened out, but sidekick M.I.A. was happy to oblige. She appeared to offer the tens of millions of viewers the wrong upraised finger--i.e., the middle one--instead of the gunshot motion that she does to accompany the bleeped-out "I don't give a s***" line in their new video, "Give Me All Your Luvin'."

"We apologize for the inappropriate gesture that aired during halftime," NBC Sports said in a statement. "It was a spontaneous gesture that our delay system caught late." This was the first controversy since the Super Bowl show featuring Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake and a high-profile wardrobe malfunction in 2004. Hemmed in by the Super Bowl's presumed insistence on a family-friendly halftime show, Madonna had nothing outrageous to offer herself, instead giving us the most guest stars ever packed into one 15-minute medley. With LMFAO, Nicki Minaj, M.I.A., and finally Cee Lo Green joining her on the 50-yard line, you half-expected to see Elton John putting aside their blood feud and showing up for a cameo, too.

What we're left with is the sight of Madonna looking unusually enraptured as she sang "I hear you call my name..." Which, of course, was not originally written to refer to M.I.A. and Nicki Minaj dressed as cheerleaders chanting "L-U-V...Madonna!" When an optical illusion made the entire football field appear to get sucked into Madonna's stage, it was the perfect metaphor for what this spectacle was supposed to be about.

But, minutes later, the crowd was back to givin' all its luvin' to the Giants and Patriots, having already forgotten their shoulda-been upstager.

Madge was upstaged by Janet on twitter...and upstaged by MIA in the actual reviews for the show.

It just wasn't Metamucil's night. -_-

lol that's right...after Janet tore the house down no one gave a fuck about the rest of the Patriots game in 2004. I bet Gil is laughing his ass off right now

I think it's tough when you love Janet and know how things went down with her, I don't understand why there are those that feel it's their duty to critique what someone else says, if you enjoy something you enjoy if you don't you don't I must say the beginning of her show was cool, it was a lot like Immortals to me with the gladiators and the gold, it was a very royal presentation. I have enjoyed Madonna in the past, I don't think she is the best dancer nor singer, however I enjoy her. It's easy to come on here and get upset because some folks just don't understand that Janet fans are strong and when you shade Janet that's not going down well. THIS POST IS NOT A CONTRADICTION NOR A POINT TO ARGUE ABOUT IM NOT HERE FOR ALL THAT In any case I watched in HD :whistle: OPPs I had it in HD someone took it down :unsure:

The shading was just unacceptable as a Janet fan I thought she could have done her thing and never spoke on Janet it was more than needed.

I haven't seen much footage of Kylie's tour, but some of those pic comparisons are hard to defend. I have to say it's a little disappointing.

One day these kids will learn to stop trying you. -_-

I'm not holding my breath. Why do you get this?

And the M.I.A. middle finger has already got the online press very...pressed. Blowing things out of proportion, good job media. <_<

Yeah, they're making it a bigger deal than it is. A lot of the comments I've read are from people who didn't even know it happened. M.I.A. is a cheeky bitch and I'll be interested to see what becomes of this. :lol:

All the articles are mentioning Janet :lol:.

This made me kiii:

"Justin Timberlake ripped off Jackson's bustier, exposing her breast for nine-sixteenths of a second, a moment for which CBS was fined $550,000 by the FCC"

All that uproar and hassle for nine-sixteenths of a second :lmao:
