Madonna may have ‘looked’ toned down in her act but performing ‘Like a Prayer’ is a big middle finger to anyone who is conservative.
THANK YOU for pointing that out! There is nothing "prayerful" about that song, as I heard it? The "gladiators" were so over the top to start with (NB: that was NOT a "marching band") and IMHO, it got worse from there. The only thing the "gospel choir" singers had in common with a real choir was the robe costumes, and they could sing.
I have to hand it to the "cast" and the "star performer" for doing a credible job, and I'm not disputing their talent, but I thought the whole production was pretty disgusting, with the sexual inuendos, crotch cartwheels, etc.
Call me a prude if you want to, but I thought this half-time show was completely vapid, as well as offensive in much of the content and unsuitable for younger viewers (it ran at @ 8:10 p.m. here in Ohio)...I thought it was the worst one I've ever seen, and that's saying something, LOL!!
