Lady Gaga SuperBowl

[SonofMammaMiaSam]

I watched something else during the Super Bowl  and taped it to play tonight.  How dare you spoil her song choices for me.

Let it go already

Jane2 said: "^ huh? Where were you when she ended the set with a full version of Bad Romance? That was the highlight for me. And how about Born this Way? I think she did mostly old songs of hers.

 

I never said she didn't sing either of those songs.  Did you read what I wrote? I was asking why she omitted Edge of Glory. 

 

[SonofMammaMiaSam]

Tongue in cheek, Jane. 

[Jane2]

Adam Greer-what you did say - "she didn't sing any of her greatest hit" can be misleading in that one could think you left off the "s" if you meant hits.

I see what you mean.  It was a typo, which I've now edited.  My apologies.  I was saying I found it odd she didn't sing her biggest hit, which is unquestionably Edge of Glory. 

 

[Jane2]

Yep, I got it!??

[ErikJ972]

Did Edge of Glory ever even hit #1 on the Billboard charts? I don't think that is her biggest hit.

I thought her halftime show was meh. 

It was depressing that Coke, Budweiser, and 84 Lumber chose to be bolder in ther commercials than Lady Gaga did with her half time show.

[Jay Lerner-Z]

She did in fact sing a little of Edge Of Glory.

I always regard Born This Way as her biggest hit, I think it's the one she's most associated with.

[Brave Sir Robin2]

"I found it odd she didn't sing her biggest hit, which is unquestionably Edge of Glory."

I'd say Bad Romance is her biggest hit, with Poker Face, Born This Way, and Just Dance next. Although I do love Edge of Glory and was surprised she didn't perform it! I feel bad for whoever is the next halftime show act - they have big shoes to fill. (My bets? Bon Jovi, Rihanna, Usher, Britney) 

 

I thought Gaga was perfection, and I loved that her costumes and designs from all of her different eras melded so well in to one show. The set list was top-notch, although I was caught off-guard by the inclusion of "Telephone" over "Edge of Glory" or even "Perfect Illusion." Her voice and dance abilities were in peak form, she looked great, and definitely inspired many young entertainers tonight. This will go up there as one of the best halftime shows of all time, with Michael Jackson, U2, Prince, and Beyonce.

I was about to say Telephone is my favourite Ga Ga song, then Poker Face, Thats what makes her so great. So many fans have different fauvourites.  It shows how versatile she is.

According to Billboard, this is the list of her top 10 charted hits (as of Dec 2015): http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/6813645/lady-gaga-top-10-billboard-hits

I don't know if it changed much since the release of Joanne.  That only had two singles released, correct?  I admit I have yet to listen to the album.

 

[RippedMan]

Not surprised she glossed over Joanne. That whole album is meh.

She did "Million Reasons," though! And I quite like Joanne...it's easy listening. But her other work is far more "Super Bowl"-y, with the possible exception of "Perfect Illusion."

[songanddanceman2]

Not a fan of hers but thought she did great, Madonna, Gaga, Prince, Jackson

do you know what "unquestionably" means? her biggest hit in terms of sales is Bad Romance, which has been certified platinum 11 times by the RIAA. in terms of chart positions: Just Dance, Poker Face and Born This Way were all #1 on the Billboard chart. Edge of Glory is a good song, but it is not her biggest hit.

USA Today reported her digital sales spiked almost 1000% the day after the Super Bowl.
