Some of Madonna's Super Bowl show ideas have been "shot down"

  • January 13, 2012
  • Mikey

Madonna has been talking about pre­par­a­tions for her Super Bowl per­form­ance on February 5.

Speaking to ABC Newsline she explained: “I have eight minutes to set up my stage, twelve minutes to put on the greatest show on Earth and seven minutes to take it down.”

Of her current projects she said the Super Bowl was “for sure” the most daunting.

Technical restric­tions have also been dogging Madonna’s creative ideas for show. She added: “A few things have been shot down because I can’t do things that block sight lines…I actually wanted to have 100 drummers come from the ceiling. Cool right? Nah, can’t take the weight."

“I have ideas and then [I’m told] ‘no that’s not going to work’”.
