Tbh the two shows were so  totally different that I can’t really compare them :shrug:

I'm not comparing two - I am talking about Super Bowl Half Time Performances vs Lady Gaga Super Bowl Half Time Performance.

Oh oops :sweat: the OP kinda focused on yesterday’s so that’s why I thought it was a comparison :shrug:

I truly think that Gaga's SBHTS was the best they've had. 

I realise the validity of my (or our) opinion is biased, but everything about Gaga's show was just spot on. 

It felt cohesive, well-mixed and it was absolutely a visual spectacle. 

The towers, the flames, the fallen stars, the outfits, the red and blue lighting - it was so cleverly done.

And the fact she performed alone was pretty profound, as was the lack of digital projections - it really differentiates her half-time and makes it timeless, unbound by technological change.

The way she started the performance felt absolutely right, too; patriotic but aspirational at the same time...  the ideal message for the Super Bowl.

Her vocals were also incredible, and her stage presence was just electric. Every facet of Gaga's artistry shone so bright on that stage.

To me, she could not have delivered a better half time show.

10/10, for sure. 

Never before has Gaga fulfilled, and exceeded, a brief so perfectly. Her performance was so right for the audience, intention and purpose of the half time - it was genius!

When she's on the stage, you find yourself drawn to her no matter whatever's happening around. That kind of stage presence is almost unmatched. We don't get artists like her anymore. 

 

Spoiler

except for enigma of course but we don't talk about that :triggered:

 

So long ggd, it was nice while it lasted.

Her raw vocal prowess plus her musicality and showmanship seep through every minute of that performance!

I mean there's a big difference between singing live (and sounding good) vs lip-syning. Something she and only a few others can do. :ally:

I love every single aspect of the show. I have this concept which I’m not sure if it’s the official one.

Shes singing about the US and the American Flag appears besides her but then the Flag stars fall into the ground and she falls together. It’s also very David Bowie-esque if you think about it. 

Then she hits the stage and the stars are there all around her like the whole country was united for the biggest pop show in the planet.

That was the concept, if I remember correctly. 

The drones were supposed to be stars of the American flag, and as they fell, they 'landed' to create the stage. 

That's why there were star-shaped 'platforms' dotted around the set:

Honestly it wasn't that great. Her dancing was off multiple times she lost her spark and has for years. (Who do I sound like:enigma:) Before everyone quotes me a drags me this was a joke I love Gaga's halftime show and wouldn't change anything. Except maybe the set list but let's not start that. :huntyga:

 

I'm still shook over the fact that she risked it all to catch that football at the end. I literally had anxiety x83377382 as it flew at her lol. Such a dumb thing to freak out about but I always have. 

I remember so many people.

Are people saying gaga's wasn't good? :diane:

I liked this years show, even though I would've liked to see Shakira doing it alone. However, I still think gaga did an impressive job; it's the best Halftime show imo :giveup:

PS: I was rewatching gagas show yesterday night and everyone on the comments seemed to like her show the most, even though they also liked Shakira / JLO :spin:

LG had probably the best Superbowl stage. I thought Jlo's was small and more fitting for an award show.

Jlo/Shakira had the best dancing I've seen at a Superbowl. 

LG was more of a total package in that she danced well, sang well, had some good effects.

Jlo/Shakira lacked a good ballad moment. Every Halftime has that. "Halo", "Just The Way You Are", "Purple Rain", "Million Reasons" etc

Jlo/Shakira had a really nice political statement. I thought it was more effective and obvious than LG's.

LG has a better catalog. I don't know any Shakira song aside from Hips and Whenever. LG didn't need Telephone but it was still a better song selection

Jlo/Shakira get the advantage of coming after Maroon 5 so they are gonna receive extra praise for that alone.

Not only did gaga fly, dance and run around stage, she sang every single note live with beautiful tone and pitch. I rewatched it last night after jlo and I love Gaga's performance even more now.
