Madonna‘s newest single featuring Nicki Minaj and M.I.A, ”Give Me All Your Luvin’,” hasn’t necessarily been received with open arms, but in attempt to please the masses—or to at least entertain the girlfriends of football fanatics—Madge took over the halftime duties. She played some of her classics, “Vogue” and “Like A Prayer,” and special guests Cee-Lo Green and LMFAO joined her on stage as well. Give the spectacle a watch below.
What really has people talking is not so much the performance, but M.I.A.’s middle finger to the millions of viewers. Most people probably didn’t even notice it live, but check out that moment out in the video below. Right as she says, “Yeah, I don’t give a ish,” you can see her flash the finger.
Respect to M.I.A., she manages to feature without looking like a complete sellout. Hopefully a big year for her, she could really kill it.
The whole thing reminded me of Kylie Minogue’s last tour.
jb,
i dont see how you could say that when this whole thing feels like such a forced publicity stunt. didn’t she just drop the single for her new album?
Publicity stunt or not. She’s on stage with Madonna and Nicki. And today it’s alla bout M.I.A. The least known one of those.
At first, I thought it was just her saying the big F U to people watching for something to happen. Especially with three women obviously going to perform, and I think the first women since Janet. But I’m naive.
