TOUCHDOWN :: The Madonna halftime show at The SuperBowl (“Madonnabowl”) was one of the best performances of all-time. I know people expect my play-by-play, from outfit to hairstyle and song choice to shoes. However, I am not going to do that. That entire twelve minutes and forty seconds of our lives was so electric, energetic, and groundbreaking, that there is nothing I can say that will emphasize anything Madonna hasn’t already. I am just going to give my highlights as I see fit.
So, she lip-synced: big deal. Can we please remember that she wasn’t able to do a sound-check during the game? So, she used a couple of themes that had already been done by other artists in the past: big deal. Can we please remember that all Madonna is doing is showing them who can do it better? So she fell: big deal. Can anyone else come out of a fall so beautifully and with such choreography? No. No they cannot.
The song choices were spot on: album versions of songs with little twists here and there for entertainment. Brand new arrangements would have thrown off the majority of people who just want to hear the hits. I never in my life thought that I would hear the original arrangement of “Vogue” again after over twenty years. Not to mention that entrance with the feathers and choreography and video screens. So much new, brilliant, cutting-edge choreography to learn! Definitely a gay boy’s dream come true.
“Music” was great with the LMFAO inclusion. Fun and quirky, proving that she’s still hot and athletic and “down with it.” Then onto the new single (“Give Me All Your Luvin’”), then a drum-line “Open Your Heart”/”Express Yourself” interlude (which must have been a very last minute addition, because no site ever published those two in the final version of the set-list!). And to finish with “Like a Prayer,” was just brilliant.
High-energy, brand new technology, fresh and current faces to help along the way, and an amazing set-list just prove that Madonna is still the Queen, and will forever be the Queen. It was a visual and audio orgasm, and I keep on cumming.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have some voguing to learn.
Here’s one more of my gay boys freaking out over the @NFL half time show! #Madonnabowl lmao!!!!

My good friend Aliya-Jasmine Sovani sneakily took videos of my reactions during portions of the performance. Here’s one!
