Six Super Bowl 46 Halftime Show Ideas Better Than Madonna
If I were a TV executive whose job depended on getting the highest possible ratings for the Super Bowl halftime show, I suppose I’d have given Madonna a long, hard look as well despite my lack of interest in her music; and I probably would have been hard-pressed to find reasons beyond personal preference and event appropriateness to go in a different direction.
But that doesn’t mean that as a consumer of the Super Bowl 46 presentation that I like the choice. Nor do I think Madonna is a slam dunk choice to drive ratings simply because she’s Madonna.
* – Why a scale of “Scowling Eltons”? Because I found it hilarious during the Golden Globes when cameras caught Elton John glaring at Madonna while she accepted an award ( click to see pic ), which was later followed by John’s partner excoriating her on Facebook. They’ve seen made up, apparently, but that didn’t stop John from suggesting to Madonna that she “lip sync good” on Sunday.
