Madonna’s Superbowl Halftime Show + Wardrobe

It won’t be the first time for me to say that Madonna’s recent musical contributions have been pretty uninspiring (“every record sounds the same” – indeed). Yet the certifiable queen of pop still manages to command popular attention with the best of them. Her halftime performance during yesterday’s Superbowl was ~~riveting~~, very well produced. There were plenty of flashing lights, acrobats and other such things to distract from the fact that Madge’s dancing has gotten a bit stiff over the years.

It might be sheer luck, but I’m betting it’s incredible business acumen that’s resulted in Madonna hitting a stride at a time in her career when most others have long been forgotten. Whether this women is resting on her laurels – or on the superstardom of younger acts – one thing is undeniable: she is a BADASS.
