Lady Gaga GOES HIGH And Wins The Superbowl!

I was a bit worried that Lady Gaga would go all leftist politics for her Super Bowl performance tonight. Instead, she managed to get her political point across without attacking the office of the POTUS, or anyone else. She began with patriotic montage of God Bless America and This Land Is Your Land on the roof of the stadium.  The Woodie Guthrie classic is a nod to the protesters who often sing This Land Is Your Land at rallies protesting our current government.  It was beautiful, classy, and inclusive. And her voice is AMAZING. And she did it all in a Versace jumpsuit while blue and red drones flew behind her in the sky.  Blue and red drones, together.

Then she literally jumped off the roof and landed on a huge tower where she belted out Poker Face. I was still weeping from the patriotism stuff. I don’t know why but songs about my native country always bring tears to my eyes. Even moreso now that we all seem to be so divided. Maybe it was the blue and the red drones in the opening all flying without blowing each other up.

When she finally comes down to earth she sang Born This Way. A not so subtle nod to the gay community and our concerns about gay rights going backwards. But it also seemed to be about refugees, and well, the whole world.  The weeping continued, with me. It was just a very poignant way to protest without being vulgar and divisive.

When she sang, Just Dance I wondered how they rehearsed the people in the crowd right up by the stage. They all had lights and all were in sync with the choreography. It was about this point where I started my comparisons to the  Olympic Games Opening Ceremony in Seoul.  Every dancer, every light waver was in sync.

By the time she got to the piano to sing Million Reasons,  I was astounded that she had breath left in her body. But she did. In fact she could not sit still. It was so astounding to me. I do not think she missed a mark or a football or a mic drop or a step the entire 13 minutes.  I was glued to the screen.

She also sang Telephone, Paparazzi, and  Bad Romance.

I was missing a friend who is no longer with us tonight. He would have loved this musical performance. I hope he saw it from heaven.

If you missed the show, you can see the entire event below. Go full screen. It’s incredible.

    I thought the exact same thing regarding her mid performance ballad and having the breath to pull it off, I was amazed that she went from such a high intensity musical performance and dance choreography seamlessly into that!! Talk about an great performer!! Amazing as always!!

    I also appreciated that she didn’t make it into a direct political statement, yet still made a clear mention of issues important to her as well as her fans.

    She was perfection. A certain Diva that had a recent live TV kerfluffle could take a lesson…I’m looking at you, Mimi!
    No lip synching, killer dance moves, writes her own songs and plays instruments. Plus, she did it all by herself without other artists performing. You have to be in hella good shape to have that kind of vocal stamina and she did not miss a beat. Beyonce and Katy Perry cam both take several seats. My beloved Falcons fell short, but Gaga took the sting out of it.
    I think that UF would be pleased indeed.

    She is certainly a brave woman to jump off the roof of the stadium hanging by 2 wires. Prince and Gaga are my half time heroes!

    This is probably the best halftime performance in years and I think everyone can relate to it a bit. You want vocals? Got it. Visual effects? Got it. Politics-wise, she did the right and appropriate thing. The first segment on top of the stadium was beautiful and much needed in this day and age.

    Loved it. Thought it ranked with one of the best performances ever. My favorite part has to be when she said hello to her parents.

      Agree on acknowledging her parents. She was magnificent. What a game. Commercials were lacking though.

    It was amazing and she set an example that I hope other celebrities follow that we can protest and make a point without being vulgar and angry. She sent out a message, and it was heard. No name calling, no nastiness. That’s how you do it. When you get Madonna and Ashley Judd out there making fools of themselves, the message is lost and it incites the other side.

    I cried too. It was the best half time performance I’ve ever seen….from start to finish.

    The term “leftist” being used as an insult is always funny to me.

      Oh thank you so much for posting her amazing, astonishing performance. Although we watched and taped the game, my husband was so upset we lost he deleted the game. I had planned on watching her performance several more times!! Her voice is by far the best of any female vocalist singing today!! Bravo Lady Gaga, you killed it.

    Since I wasn’t rooting for anyone until finding out that Atlanta had not won a Super Bowl, I was hoping they would win. I’m so sad for Atlanta fans, and for those who aren’t, congrats. Lady Gaga was spectacular, and I get the emotion. It was perfection.

    I loved it and completely agree with you. And, if I may, I found her performance to be not political, but more all-inclusive, empowering and loving. I would be SO much more supportive of the current protesters if I didn’t have to hear or see about their pussies as much as their feelings and beliefs. I’m a strong woman, but I see much more effective ways to get my point across than wearing a costume of a vagina with teeth.

    I am not a big GaGa fan and I thought she was awesome.

    I really don’t think our country is as divided as the media and agitators ( many of whom I suspect are paid) want us to think. We may not agree on everything, but I think there is much we do agree on, and we can always just agree to disagree.

    I mean, look at this site. We are made up of different races, backgrounds, orientation, political ideology, religion, etc., and we can all agree that most of the Real Housewives are assholes. Let’s start there and begin the healing. ?

      Not to be too political but I I’ve been at a couple of protests – women’s day and a No Wall No Ban protest this weekend. Nobody was paid. That concept is just silly. It was friends and neighbors peacefully expressing their opposition to the travel ban.

      A counter protest Trump group used bull horns to drown out speakers and yelled at them to leave the country. Maybe someone paid them ??

      Lady Gaga made also her view clear in a peaceful way. Doubt anyone paid her extra for that. But she earned a lot of respect!!!

        Half time performers are not paid but exspenses are covered.

    I thought her performance was Super Bowl worthy and she did a great job. Sporting events are not a place for politics and people don’t want to spend thousands to attend a game and be lectured and I was so happy she didn’t go there hard core. It was a good game even though I was rooting for ATL. It was a much needed break from all the nonsense.

    Gaga gave such a beautiful performance.
    I loved when she yelled out:”is everyone having a great time? Let’s ALL have a great time!”
    She was patriotic and inclusive without hitting us over the head with it. Well done!

    On a recent interview she was asked what she was doing to prepare. She said she had being doing stairs flights until she mastered being able to sing while climbing stairs.
