Yes, the whole thing was lip-synced. And yes, the whole thing was more of a carnival spectacle (thanks to LMFAO, Nicki Minaj, M.I.A., & Cee Lo Green for the assists) than a musical performance. But Madonna’s Super Bowl halftime show entertained the hell out of me, and that’s what matters more than anything else, right? I especially loved the subversiveness of her performing “Like a Prayer,” a song rumored to be a secret ode to oral sex (“I’m down on my knees, I wanna take you there”). Also, the Material Girl looks pretty good for 53, no?
Best of all, Madonna’s whole performance just screamed, “Tell me how my a$s tastes, Gaga.” Oh and hey look M.I.A. snuck her middle finger in there…

Never forget…
