Madonna's Super Bowl 2012: A Material Performance

Within minutes of the Superbowl XLVI half-time show ending the internet was already in a fevered debate about the Material Girl's apparent lip-synching.

Within minutes of the Superbowl XLVI half-time show ending the internet was already in a fevered debate about the Material Girl's apparent lip-synching. It's safe to say that Madonna delivered precisely what her fans and critics have come to expect from her stage show (minus the risque' behaviour). Her set was a high energy medley of her hits from the last three decades featuring the talents of modern performers Cee Lo Green and Nicki Minaj, and an intricately well choreographed dance routine Twitter celebs came out in force to show support for Madge with Kelly Osbourne Tweeting that the performance made her heart "pump with so much joy", and Ashton Kutcher adding "#fact Madonna is crushing it!". It seems hard to disagree that the performance was musically almost perfect. Some might say - a little TOO perfect. Given the elaborate and strenuous dance routines Madonna was required to perform - it seems strange that the 53 year old was never out of breath or less than note perfect. The debate continues. With more and more pop artists miming their shows and charging more and more for the opportunity to do so, it's easy to see why there is such a backlash.
