I'm predicting some sort of combination of Bon Jovi, U2, The Eagles, The Rolling Stones, and Springsteen for the next five years.

Haha, actually I just googled it and there is a FB petition to get Bon Jovi for next year.

if Bon Jovi plays at halftime, I'm going to temporarily leave the country for the 30 minutes of halftime.

it would make sense because his popularity hasn't really waned at all in the Rock Band/Guitar Hero era so people would go nuts for it...but not me.

tbh i would be quite happy if the video just consisted of the bit where she's dressed in black in front of the bonfire for the entire length of the track. she is stunning.

What's extra annoying about last night's event is that M.I.A. doesn't need these cheap ploys to up her visibility, even when the stage design and costuming is best described as "GoldenPalace.com." After all, she released her first great single in years just last Thursday, and its music video had already racked up more than 3 million YouTube views even before the Super Bowl send-up. Following the rep-shattering press surrounding 2010's /\/\/\Y/\, it wouldn't be the worst idea to draw as much focus as possible back to her music.
Instead, in the few bars Madonna was kind enough to grant her during the biggest television event of the year, M.I.A.'s message to America was simply, "Fuck you." Well, in M.I.A.'s own words, the little people will never win, but they can fuck shit up. Success might be the best revenge, but apparently, being an asshole is forever.

they are going to ban all women of color from the Superbowl halftime show, aren't they
i haven't seen such shocking behavior since that dog fucked around with that dude's bag of doritos during that first half commercial.

i can't tell whether this is sarcastic or not
the coverage given to this and the words shat out about it, i.can.not.

"NBC fumbled and the NFL lied because a performer known as M.I.A. felt it necessary to flip off millions of families," Winter said. "It is unfortunate that a spectacular sporting event was overshadowed once again by broadcasting the selfish acts of a desperate performer."

Just wait until this shifts to the "M.I.A. is a terrorist" narrative that is already being teased in some corners. Heard a local deejay this morning say he "looked her up online" and saw that she is "a terrorist's daughter" with "dangerous political leanings".
