Ray of Light. What is this list.

At least Madonna and Shakira are avoiding the worst of the backlash. Madonna was lucky she went first. Her pre-recorded segment set the tone; it was the rest of the show that utterly failed to match it.

Aside from Tug of War, I have all of her albums, including all the Side Bs. And while she definitely does have some songs that stray outside of the topic, you have to admit that the vast majority is about unrequited love or puppy love. She's amazing at it. I guess I'm just looking for more Western Winds-type stuff out of her in the future; we have enough Fake Mona Lisas at this point. I think now that she's married, she's gonna shake things up a little bit. At the very least, her marriage and her becoming a mother are going to add a whole new dimension to her words.

This is why it should have been a finale performance with just Shakira. She had the most global appeal out of all the acts there, and she has the kind of vibes that make sense for a FIFA event.

My only issue with this queen is that she could stand to have more variety in her lyrics. Unrequited love is a great topic, but it's not the only one out there, and she rarely strays away from it.

To be fair, this isn't fully on the fact that it's the finale is in the US. Chris Martin is British, and I believe he was the one to bring the idea to FIFA. They should have had hired Harriet Cuddeford, who did Bad Bunny's show. Or just done a finale show. Honestly, thank God.

Harm. Plus the bad press of the space flight.

Hung Up, Danceteria, La Isla Bonita / Whenever Wherever, Dai Dai, Hips Don't Lie. Done, go home. Like this could have been a slam dunk. Chris needed to pull off a Bad Bunny and instead he gave us middle school graduation.

This should have been a finale show with just Shakira.

I feel so bad for the Muppets having to be associated with this.

Confessions II era over!

I'm still not convinced she actually showed up at all.

I'III""MMM WHEEEEZZZIIIINNNGGG

Bad Bunny didn't kill at the Superbowl for these people to do this garbage. The way Madonna showed up for two seconds and then went home. She wasn't even in the finale.

The was the worst piece of crap I've ever seen, and the performers were not at fault.
