So Madonna's Super Bowl thing was alright

  • February 6, 2012

'Vogue': Amazing

'Music': Amazing

LMFAObit: Amazing

New single: Amazing*

Cee Lo interlude: Amazing

'Like A Prayer': Amazing

Unfortunately if you look at the 1:43 point she's not actually playing that harp live.

Shame. We unfor­tu­nately have no choice but to downgrade this mark to a 9/10. Live harp please next time.

* For those of you who've asked over the last few days, we have very complex thoughts about this song which we will assemble in the coming days.

This is quite diverting, in a shouting and noise kind of way, in the meantime.
