VIDEO: Madonna - Halftime Super Bowl XLVI

So apart from the main topic – Giants VS Patriots – The talk of the Super Bowl was Madonna’s halftime show & the resounding result? TOUCHDOWNNNNNNNN!

She absolutely smashed it! Bringing out people such as, LMFAO to perform a mashup of ‘I’m Sexy & I Know It’ with ‘Hey Mr DJ’, Cee Lo Green for ‘Like a Prayer’ & MIA & Nicki Minaj for her new track ‘Give Me All Your Loving’, Madonna showed that she still has it. No matter how much older she gets, she will always perfectly execute a performance!

Certified queen of pop Madonna is ready to return to the limelight. Not content with directing films, raising a family and touring the globe, Madge is back with the 1st single from her TWELTH studio album, ‘MDNA’. Is there no stopping her?
