The Material Girl finds her way -- to sports’ biggest stage.
The Super Bowl halftime show this Sunday features Madonna, in a performance she promises will be ‘the greatest show on Earth’.
But is the Super Bowl the wrong forum for the occasionally controversial performer?
In a highly controversial wardrobe malfunction at the 1984 MTV VMA’s, Madonna flashed the audience during her performance of ‘Like A Virgin’, which instantly got everyone talking.
Super Bowl executives fear another media stunt -- a potential repeat of Janet Jackson’s 2004 nipple-slip. Super Bowl executive Joe Browne says there were plenty of promises made by the producers and artists for that show, too.
“We were extremely disappointed by elements of the (2004) MTV-produced halftime show. They were totally inconsistent with assurances our office was given about the show.”
Entertainment Tonight reveals what we can expect this Sunday.
“They gave you a list of rules; ‘I’m sorry, you know you can’t say, oh no, we have to ok that song etc’. Well for sure, no nipples.”
The Huffington Post estimates--with all the buzz and hype being generated around the singer’s Super Bowl performance...
“...the promotional campaign will reach more than 150 million people around the world.”
So, with well more than 100 million viewers tuning into the Super Bowl this Sunday, the question remains: will Madonna stage another stunt of her own?
