      Blank stare.

    • Jada February 1, 2015

      Please don’t. I swear you guys have to bring up Beyonce in EVERYTHING. It’s annoying. Get a life.

      • Bravo!! February 2, 2015

        They always will come for the number 1 female in the game at the moment!!

    • You tried February 1, 2015

      @AnthonyB BURY YOURSELF & then wake up 20yeArs Later and the world WILL STILL BE PRAISING BEYONCES TALENTS LMAO GET A LIFE U LAME ASS COMEDIAN

    • SippingmyTea February 2, 2015

      Stop!! Anybody could have..

  4. gilbert February 1, 2015

    Missy clearly stole the show. That was the highlight of the entire performance, Katy did okay I guess. nothing wow or memorable besides the production. other than that everything was boring and mediocre. Good job tho, pretty entertaining 🙂

  5. musicMatters101 February 1, 2015

    It was overall entertaining and for that KP won! Performing 6/9 number 1 hits, W2G KP! Missy was on stage giving a mini show herself. Found that a bit odd, but nice of KP to share the stage.

    I sensed shade from some others too ^ Some people are so rude! Oh well. They wish they were on stage.

  6. Tyler February 1, 2015

    Missy gave me LIFE!

  7. Meteorite February 1, 2015

    WTF?! How?!

    To each his own I guess. I wasn’t thrilled.

  8. Slay_Hive February 1, 2015

    YAAAS Katy. She did really good. I was getting my life when Missy came out!

  9. TheElusiveLamb February 1, 2015

    Katy did good. I see everyone is tweeting about Missy. Hopefully, this buzz makes Missy produce her own new album? #CrossingFingers

    • Joey February 4, 2015

      Missy has a new album coming out, she already released a few singles called Triple Threat and 9th Inning. I wish Katy Perry would just leave Missy alone in her part. They are two different types of performers and Katy did not mix even how hard she tried. She just looked like a dumb ass. Unnecessary yelling and trying to fit in just made her look pathetic.

  10. CT February 1, 2015

    reeaad Anderson…

  11. QUEENLATIFAHSTAN February 1, 2015

    WHEN WILL RIHANNA?

    • Jada February 1, 2015

      What does Rihanna have to do with this? Honestly…you guys are annoying as f***. Just be happy with who’s listed or don’t speak at all. No one wants to hear your b*******.

    • Tyler February 1, 2015

      She hasn’t.
      Back to the topic AT HAND.

  12. Jenny February 1, 2015

    I thought I’d hate it, but I actually loved it. Can’t really compare it to Bey. They’re two different artists at the top of their game.

    • Jada February 1, 2015

      You don’t need to compare it to Beyonce. Katy did an amazing job as well as Missy. The end.

  13. Pop royalty February 1, 2015

    The navy is so pissed lol and the hive is hating! Katy did that!!

    • blue February 1, 2015

      why is the navy be pissed? Rihanna let go of this. And the hive were hating when bruno took the stage, bey had her moment and killed it #letitgo

  14. blue February 1, 2015

    some people are just shady…point is katy entertained which is the main focus here.

    I cant with people critising her voice and dancing, like where have you been for the past 7 years, going into this we all knew katy will win or lose depending on her production quality anything else was extra

  15. #TeamTinashe Stan February 1, 2015

    Yeah…… maybe the “yo gabba gabba” act was too much but I actually dug it. Lol but when Missy came out my entire family just got up in excitement and started dancing! Missy came in like a boss. And yea, some of the celebrities were definitely shading it though and I agreed with Tyra Banks…. like how? That was such a quick clothing change but overall I enjoyed it.

  16. DEL BEY February 1, 2015

    I couldn’t even watch the whole things, what a disney channel mess, missy absolutely killed it, ciara must be seething somewhere for not being invited to participate in ‘lose control’

  21. unnamed February 1, 2015

    i didn’t feel the nick look either. who the f*ck…

    missy was nice. i scaled hers half tho. is that weird beats?!? sorta kinda music. 😀

    • unnamed February 1, 2015

      it was a really good show tho. 🙂

      anybody thinking about rihanna watching that like normal folks in the audience?!? sorry. that’s a ‘snapped’ to add. 😉

      • blue February 1, 2015

        she and katy are friends so she was most definetly watching and supporting her gal

  22. Carry On February 1, 2015

    Justine Timbeeeeeerfake couldn’t say much cause he’s on the clock…tick tock. LOL

  23. SMH February 1, 2015

    Amazing what people consider entertainment nowadays.

  24. gina February 1, 2015

    That nickelodeon mess will be forgotten by Friday.

  25. sleazy February 1, 2015

    Ms beyonce still slayed tho

  26. OMG Logic!!! February 1, 2015

    Basic Perry tried. Good thing Missy was there to save the show.

  27. Dossome February 1, 2015

    Ms.Timberlake better stan for Missy.That’s what you do when invited to guest a Half-Time

  28. Slayty Perry (Superbowl Queen) February 1, 2015

    Those who are salty can remain so. Katy did her thing and killed it. She brought out the best production set than any other artist has in the past. She slayed for a pop star who many don’t consider an “entertainer”. Now we all watch as Teenage Dream, One of the Boys, and Prism rise on iTunes 😉

    • OMG Logic!!! February 1, 2015

      Girl bye. Her production was nowhere near the level of Madonna’s. You’re right though, she did her thing which was to show up and deliver an utterly basic, generic, forgettable performance.

      • WHO ME? WHO YOU, NIGGAA? HA HA HA! (QUEEN SLAYZEALIA) February 2, 2015

        Chile, Madonna’s production was so freaking expensive and extravagant that nobody gave a flopping fu*k that she was lip-syching her aSS off. Her entrance was the best entrance of any of the super bowl main and guest performers of all time, in my opinion. She came out looking like an Egyptian/Roman/Greek queen/goddess like “I own all of you b*tches. Now get to work and drag this chariot.” She once again proved why she is the queen of pop. Her money and power both showed that night.

  29. Miss Kenya February 1, 2015

    I thought it was cute, well put together. Missy did her thang!

  30. Lmfao_Hoe February 1, 2015

    From her Ladies Knight Out performance at Soul Train, to the Superbowl. I hope Missy ‘ s singles rises to the top including albums, and that maybe she’ll consider dropping an album n tour. Its obvious now the general public misses her presence and songs. Missy Elliott = Talent over popularity. Her comeback should remind this new generation and new acts why aint nobody fckin’ with her musically at all.

  31. Paws February 1, 2015

    That s*** was Horrible,no point in people lying for her… Them outfits was horrific that crouching tiger hidden dragon was a mess, her vocals were a mess aka recycled but missy definitely saved her life TBH Lenny was cute but yea it was awful my family was looking at me crazy like “wtf are we watching” lol smdh 4/10 (only because missy)

    • WHO ME? WHO YOU, NIGGAA? HA HA HA! (QUEEN SLAYZEALIA) February 2, 2015

      Come on. It couldn’t of been that bad. It was nowhere near the level of Bey and Madonna’s performance, but I think it was tolerable. LOL, even Rih Rih’s next year will be better. I bet…..like Ciara’s invisible superbowl performance.

      • Paws February 2, 2015

        Oops lmfao not c-error

  32. Diamond Princess February 2, 2015

    Ms. Justin throwing shade at Katy, say it ain’t so? Miss thang needs to sit down somewhere, like people give 2 f-u-c-k-s what she thinks after what she did to janet. B-itch ass cracker f**!!!

    • LB February 2, 2015

      Girl let it go, it happened some years ago. Get over it, he did

      • Diamond Princess February 2, 2015

        You need to let that avi go of that s-issy lookin man!

    • Absolved February 2, 2015

      Shut up. You sound dumb.

      • Diamond Princess February 2, 2015

        Right…. Which is why you commented on my dumb post right? Go read a book F-AG BIT-CH!!!

  33. LB February 2, 2015

    Missy stole the show TBH, if that b**** don’t announce a tour after this, Imma be in her mentions.

    She clearly stole the show.

    Katy, well it was a kid bop performance, it was good for her, the production was fantastic though.

  34. LB February 2, 2015

    I caught that shade Mzz Timberflake, trees b****, There’s no sunlight with all these trees

    • Diamond Princess February 2, 2015

      Funny… You told me to let it go yet you’re calling him a Miss as well for his comment? Isn’t that exactly what I did? Bye Felicia!!!

  35. Rosie February 2, 2015

    Just watched. Missy stole the show easily. Just amazing how all of those songs are 10+ years old yet everyone knew them, I thought some of you said she was forgotten?
    Katy’s vocals were OK, not as bad as I was expecting, but the production was spectacular (on par with Madonna’s imo).

    • Mark111 February 2, 2015

      Missy is the Queen of Hip Hop. No one in their right mind forgot her.

    • LB February 2, 2015

      The production was AMAZING, I say it was better than Madonna’s especially considering I got my life on the dark horse part.

      Other than that, the vocals were basic, the Nick Jr segment was horrible, the last part was good production wise and Missy Elliot saved the whole show.

  36. WHO ME? WHO YOU, NIGGAA? HA HA HA! (QUEEN SLAYZEALIA) February 2, 2015

    Chile, stop the mutha fuuckin tracks right now! When OG R&B/Soul slay-vocalist legend queen ANITA BAKER gets on social media to say god job, you know you did something right. I think Madonna’s and Bey’s performances were better (obviously, theirs can have much better production because they have more money), but I found myself singing along with katy to every song. I really hope those were he 100% live vocals and not pre-recorded. If they were, her voice has improved drastically. I guess that’s what a break from touring does to your voice. Next up…..Queen of the digital age, Rihanna for the 2016 superbowl. Can’t wait! Special guests might be Kanye and Jay-Z im sure.

  37. Mark111 February 2, 2015

    It was a good show tho. The haters are comparing this to the GREATS (MJ, Janet, Madonna, Beyonce, Prince and so on.) But you guys forget that Black Eye Peas was garbish, The Who… who? Bruce was lackluster. So this wasn’t epic, but it was pretty fun. I just wish that Missy did the whole damn show, lol. I think they’re running out of people. I want Linking Park next year.

    • LB February 2, 2015

      It’ll probably be Mzz Swift next year. Cannot wait for white girl awkwardness and cuteness lol.

      It was ok, as long as Mzz Perry remains Grammyless I am content.

      Missy killed the whole damn thing though, I screamed when she came on.

  38. LB February 2, 2015

    Missy’s part though, I’ve just all of the sudden noticed how mediocre Nicki, Igor, Azealia and every other FemCee is.

    Oh Missy, how I wish you would come back with those amazing hits you used to slay us with. Pass that dutch is still my jam.

  39. WHO ME? WHO YOU, NIGGAA? HA HA HA! (QUEEN SLAYZEALIA) February 2, 2015

    It might be either Taylor Swift or Rihanna for the 2016 superbowl. Those are the ony people I can think of that haven’t had their turns yet and people actually want to see.

    • Tyler February 2, 2015

      I hope not. Usher needs to perform!

      • WHO ME? WHO YOU, NIGGAA? HA HA HA! (QUEEN SLAYZEALIA) February 2, 2015

        Usher was the guest for the Black Eyed Peas’ performance in 2011 and even then he focused too much on dancing and let the playback heavily-carry “OMG”. How are you a singer first, but you’d rather dance and can barely sing your own song because you’re too out-of-breath to feed in a microphone? I’ll pass on him performing in the future everytime. Lol!

  40. Mark111 February 2, 2015

    Brittany Spears has to be the most humble entertainer in the world. You never seen or heard her be shady, rude or bitter. Even when others like XXLtina, P!nk and Avril Whovin came at her, she always kept it classy and she always been sweet. I think that’s why so many likes her, even if she can’t kill the stage like she use to, you like her as the person she is. Some should take notes.

  41. LB February 2, 2015

    Not going to lie, I actually want to see Mzz Swift next year. It would just be so…..different.

    • WHO ME? WHO YOU, NIGGAA? HA HA HA! (QUEEN SLAYZEALIA) February 2, 2015

      I’m so ready for that whiny, flat voice to struggle to sing “We are never ever getting back together”, “i knew you were trouble”, “blank space” and “shake it off”. im sure that she’d more-than-likely end her performance with “love story”. She’d sing that song decently because it’s sort of mid-tempo and she usually does a good job at it.

  42. cake like lady gaga February 2, 2015

    i loved it. katy slayed. i give her a 10/10.
    .
    lenny wasn’t neccessary and missy must stop clinging to other artists for relevancy.

    • Tyler February 2, 2015

      Your fave is clinging to Tony Bennett for dear life…so whats the f****** difference?

      • cake like lady gaga February 2, 2015

        like your fave clinged to gaga in 09?

    • Rosie February 2, 2015

      …but your fave is clinging to a certified legend to his death bed. At least Missy is an actual icon and not a fad?

      • cake like lady gaga February 2, 2015

        and you are clinging to my reply box for dear life. the obssession though!!!!!!!!!!!

  43. FutureCIARA February 2, 2015

    They tried me, had me waiting for Ciara to pop out the ground when LOSE CONTROL came on….

    Next year boo!

  44. MISHKA February 2, 2015

    Katy put a *surprisingly* great show.

    Production, costumes and lighting, everything is amazing.

    I got my life three times:
    *When Lenny hit them rock vocals on “I kissed a girl”
    *Wehn the crowd sang on “California Gurls”
    *When I found out Missy actually had a medley #Winning

    All that being said, they did a good job by picking Katy Perry. She can’t dance and her vocals are annoying but everybody knows her songs so it’s always a win.

    Not bad for an artist who got denied by two major labels before her big break.

    For next year, they better book the one and only KANYE!!!

  45. Theman February 2, 2015

    Her performance was way more interesting than Beyonce’s !!!! She was singing at the end of her last song. She’s a beauty.. She did her damn thing !!!! Katy & Bruno >>>> recently… She’s a perfect pop artist.. She did an amazing job !!!!

  46. cake like lady gaga February 2, 2015

    the best superbowl show i have seen in a while.
    .
    kiiii at the lana fad rey stan perched on TGJ criticising katy. the kii is that katy is 100000x the performer its fave is. Lana could never put on such an entertaining show. and not at her last tv appearance being in 2012. i get why the fad rey stan is mad lol

    • WHO ME? WHO YOU, NIGGAA? HA HA HA! (QUEEN SLAYZEALIA) February 2, 2015

      Do you think Gaga might get a chance to do the superbowl? If she does, I hope she’ll perform bad romance and just dance.

  47. cake like lady gaga February 2, 2015

    and kiiiiii at @LooseBottom listening to G.U.Y.

  48. @RealMattPhoenix February 2, 2015

    Giving this woman credit where it’s due.
    I think I can g into Katy perry again as long as this was the last era to host the Disney gimmick at her age.
    |
    I’m agreeing with cake lmao. When will lana FAD Rey?
    |
    I will literally scream is kunty gets a Grammy before lana!
    |
    That said, in 2016 I think we’ll either see Taylor, rihanna, gaga or nicki minaj.

  49. BamWamm February 2, 2015

    Katy did very good..im not gonna lie..it was getting boring UNTIL missy came out..But overall Katy Perry did her thang.

    She is number #5 for best halftime shows..

  50. Navy Nick February 2, 2015

    It was cute; entrance was sick (outfit not so much), but she changed and was adorable…singing?! Eh (theatrics took control)., but Missy honey!!!!! I wish Ciara had came out during Lose Control!!!!!!

  51. BamWamm February 2, 2015

    Your guests shouldn’t be more exciting than YOUR own performance when you’re the headliner..Love Katy Though

  52. MisdamenorFan February 2, 2015

    Ya’ll was blind but now you see. A TRUE Icon doesn’t have to push music every 10-12 months to remain relevant and to all you haters that consistently said Missy wasn’t relevant now. Eat a big ole donkey dack!

  53. S****** Blonde February 2, 2015

    Missy and Lenny were the best thing of that children’s birthday party, at some point i thought it was Missy’s halftime show, the visual were on point, still my fav halftime show performances are the ones of Prince, U2, Paul McCartney, Madonna and Bruno. Who will perform next year?, i hope they stay away from these pop girls, time to bring Legends again, or maybe JT 😀 but i have a feeling that is going to be Taylor, imagine the ratings, America loves her.

    • JOHNVIDAL February 2, 2015

      It was so damn basic it is sad. I agree with your picks for best halftime shows.

  54. cocobutta February 2, 2015

    What made it interesting was the song choices and production.
    She made it more of an family orientated event, which gave it a different, cool & fun edge to the half-time show.

    Loved Missy but thought maybe she was allowed one song too many songs which made more of a Katy & Missy HT Show rather than a Katy featuring Missy.
    That being said she deserved her shine so WORK IT Miss.

    Big up to Katy for doing a job well done.

    • MisdamenorFan February 2, 2015

      Don’t try it…

  55. JOHNVIDAL February 2, 2015

    All those props were kind of shady for the most part LOL I can´t!

    OMG It was BAD! Worse than what I expected
    Totally lipped (at least I thought I was going to enjoy seeing her struggling face trying it).
    Weak catalogue.
    Lenny didn´t fit there.
    Missy stole the little thing there was to steal.
    Without the theatrics it was nothing, literally. Bruno slayed this s*** last year, Beyonce slayed and Madonna slayed (if you want someone who totally lipped it, difference is Madonna was actually moving like crazy at 55 years old, theatrics were way more outstanding and creative and her catalogue murders Katy Perry´s).
    Overall, I think my favorite from these last 4 years has been Bruno Mars.

  56. Blue Ivy Rodriguez February 2, 2015

    I’ll save my judgement when I watch it
