Sakrai 4,759 Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 TIME: "Lady Gaga Pulled Off One of the Best Halftime Shows Ever"Lady Gaga's Halftime Show Reasserted her Potency as a Superstar link: http://time.com/4660667/super-bowl-halftime-show-lady-gaga-review/ Lady Gaga's Super Bowl halftime show stands as among the very best in the history of the form, racing ambitiously through the artist's entire career and putting forward the qualities of the artist that just work. It was alternately deeply felt and archly ironic, overblown to the point that the camera didn't know where to look. It was the artist in full—perhaps the purest expression of what Gaga's fans like about her. It was all dopey, earnest fun, an escape from tough realities studded with crystal scepters (for "Telephone") and, gloriously harkening back to the early days of Gaga's career, a key-tar ("Just Dance"). Indeed, the halftime show felt like a moment for Gaga to return to the basics, and not in the way she did with her faux-roots music reinvention on last year's album . At its core, pop music has an uncomplicated, primal appeal—to make you dance and make you feel. Gaga was smart enough, in a setting that bears endless temptations to pile on visual distractions, to actually strip down her act to the fundamentals. Even the absence of Beyoncé, a guest vocalist on "Telephone," seemed to work in Gaga's favor; the world-encompassing pop icon who dominated two recent halftime shows and the week's news cycle might have dwarfed the relatively humble ambitions of the act.

boobtank 9,090 Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Lady Gaga Pulled Off One of the Best Halftime Shows Ever Lady Gaga's Super Bowl halftime show stands as among the very best in the history of the form, racing ambitiously through the artist's entire career and putting forward the qualities of the artist that just work. It was alternately deeply felt and archly ironic, overblown to the point that the camera didn't know where to look. It was the artist in full—perhaps the purest expression of what Gaga's fans like about her. Lady Gaga came into the Super Bowl as an act on a bit of a downswing, with her album Joanne having been met with reserved critical notice and no real hit single. Worse still, after her booking came a contested election result and the expectation that she—never an overtly political performer beyond specific, easily understood causes—might somehow "get political" in some undefined manner. I'd argue that her lack of a statement was the statement: America's problems are not Gaga's to solve, and she has every right to want Trump voters to buy "Bad Romance" on iTunes... (cont.)

Gaga slaying the news already "and not in the way she did with her faux-roots music reinvention on last year's album." Well, that statement might not sit well with fans. Time Magazine liked that she went back to her early hits for most of the halftime show. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
