I actually watched the half time show again because of this thread...

With that said, Madonna has always been about theatrics... I even went to one of her shows around 8 years ago here at MSG in NYC so... it was an all out show. Honestly, I thought it was terrible and not because I don`t like her tunes because I do like her songs! I don`t like the theatrics.... and thats exactly who she is as a "live" entertainer.

I was talking to a group of people about this yesterday and several women thought I was putting her down for being an older woman. It has nothing to do with that. The last time I saw Tina Turner around 3-4 years ago, she was rocking and she was actually singing and dancing! I love Tina Turner. To me, Madonna cannot hold a candle to Tina Turner. This is where I`m coming from. I guess I was expecting an actual live performance from Madonna but thats not who she is.
