I was impressed by that as well. Never thought these words would go forth from my mouth, but I liked Lady Gaga's performance. I thought it was one of the best half-time shows ever.

As others have mentioned, I also immediately noticed that she wasn't lip syncing and that she has an excellent voice. I'm so tired of the manufactured pop stars that can't even carry a simple tune outside the studio without technological trickery.
