Let's get real, Madonna's halftime show was a monolith. It was perfect.

My point is that it was a triumph of production and logistics, not talent. Or at least not singing and dancing talent.

Now you sound like one of those people who call Madonna “hard-working” or a “great businesswoman,” while ignoring the entertainment she provides. It was a complicated, aesthetically extremely pleasing show and I was not a expecting her dancing her ass off!

Madonna was THE MOST entertaining pop star until a few years ago and the Superbowl show was entertaining in part due to all the great songs she has written all over the years. But as a singer/dancer she's not the powerhouse Beyonce (or Prince) is and she used her vast resources to cover up that fact. Put Beyonce and Madonna on a bare stage and Beyonce would obviously wipe the stage with her.

which explains why the vast majority of madge loons have turned against beyonce from the day it was announced she'd be headlining this year's Superbowl halftime show. they're already freaking out with the prospect of beyonce outshining last year's vapid extravaganza.

It always sounded live to me. Unless she's the most amazing lypsyncher in history, it's live.

No way. She went through the motions. Nothing special. Beyonce is one of the best performers ever! She can dance, sing pitch perfect, everything. She will wipe the floor with Madonna. The loons will go into meltdown mode. I think Beyonce is going to be the new Gaga with them.

it's all probably because of some absurd points system only the likes of billboard could come up with. we all know her signature hits are crazy in love and single ladies. as for me myself and i placed above halo, if i were a boy, telephone and beautiful liar... :lmao:

as in the case of destiny's child singles included on that list, thank god billboard have no say in compiling the uk charts or else geri halliwell would have been declared bigger than poor old madge

Because they had better chart runs *overall* than those other singles. Long term impact has nothing to do with it.


And even speaking strictly about chart runs, a song that peaks at #10 can end up being a bigger chart hit than one that peaks at #1.

It's still sort of a nonsense though. Clearly her two biggest hits are "Single Ladies" and "Crazy In Love". Yes, she's had lots of other big hits, but those are the truly iconic ones.

you seriously think Madonna's Super Bowl show was vapid? It was epic, she looked like she was really having fun
I like Beyonce, she's one of the best performers out there and I'm sure she'll put on a good show.
I'm just not that into her music, apart from Crazy in Love and few more tracks. As long as she doesn't do Halo...

Do you really think Madonna looked like she was having fun? If anything, she looked nervous and like she was going through the motions.
