Madonna: Super Bowl XLVI Halftime Show Performance In Indianapolis Confirmed

Madonna will perform at the Super Bowl XLVI Halftime show, the NFL confirmed on Sunday.

The NFL championship game, which will take place on February 5th at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, will see the pop legend team up with Cirque du Soleil, her frequent collaborator Jamie King, and visual artists the Moment Factory in a telecast on NBC. The news was first reported back in October by SB Nation, though no official word has come until now.

After Janet Jackson's infamous "wardrobe malfunction" in 2004, the NFL began going with older, classic rock performers for its marquee event. Paul McCartney came after Jackson and co-star Justin Timberlake; the next few years featured The Rolling Stones, Prince, Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers, Bruce Springsteen and then The Who. Last year, the game mixed it up, hiring The Black Eyed Peas, Usher and Slash.

MADONNA?! as the 1/2 time showOMFG! Why not pay KISS to do it or METALLICA or ANYONE BESIDES MADONNA!!!!! If she ripped apart Evansville while shooting A League Of Their Own then whats to keep her from ripping apart Indianapolis as well? Besides every halftime show has done nothing but S U C K!

Im a HUGE fan and Ive seen her perform everytime shes in town since the 80's with the exception of The Girlie Show Tour. I have my doubts about the halftime show being the best venue for her, but many people don't know what an amazing performer she really is. Over the years, she has also become a very accomplished 'rock star' on the guitar in addition to tremendously honing her live vocal performance skills. While I wouldnt pick it for her, Im sure Madonna will be an amazing halftime performer. If you know anything about her beyond her life in the media, you know she absolutely shines as a live performer. She puts everything she has into entertaining her audience and seeing her live many times has completely spoiled me since her concerts always have a standard of excellence I have failed to find elsewhere. If you didn't love her already, she can easily turn the tide in her favor with the passion she puts into her show!

Swim - Ray of Light CD - 1998

Put your head on my shoulder baby
Things can't get any worse
Night is getting colder
Sometimes life feels like it's a curse

I can't carry these sins on my back
Don't wanna carry any more
I'm gonna carry this train off the track
I'm gonna swim to the ocean floor

Mmmmm
Crash to the other shore
Mmmmm
Swim to the ocean floor

Children killing children
While the students rape their teachers
Comets fly across the sky
While the churches burn their preachers

We can't carry these sins on our back
Don't wanna carry any more
We're gonna carry this train off the track
We're gonna swim to the ocean floor

Let the water wash over you
Wash it all over you
Swim to the ocean floor

So that we can begin again
Wash away all our sins
Crash to the other shore

Mmmmmm

Crash to the other shore
Swim to the ocean floor
Mmmmmm

Madonna singing profoundly poetic lyrics accompanied by profoundly good music. I challenge any hater to listen to the first three songs of Ray of Light and still hate Madonna.

Apparently, a certain female singers fans ( Gaga) are flooding forums to post negative things about this. If you doubt, go over to any of her forums and see. They are bragging about it.

They do this to any female singer who is a thre@t to Gaga. They recently did it to Adele when she got all the Grammy noms. They do it to Katy Perry. Rihanna. Beyonce. Nikki M. Very sad.

Madonna is going to be a very popular half time performer. So much great music from a great performer.

This is worse than Nickelback. Plus they should have gotten rid of the half time show long ago (I think that 3D Diet Coke one in 1989 should have been the signal). Besides show a Simpsons episode as a halftime show!

Madonna should retire. She is way over the hill!

Maybe this talent-challenged FameHole could arrange bus fare for her homeless brother to come on down from Michigan to see her show ?

Hahahhaha so much h@te and ageism...too funny. Not that it will matter. You will all watch and Madonna will rock it like nobody's business. She is a great performer and the most successful female recording artist, by far, so this will be successful.

Go Madonna!
