14 DAY TRIAL // After the rather disappointing performance of the Black Eyed Peas at the Super Bowl XLV, it would seem that organizers are bent on making next year’s edition better. Reports say that Madonna is likely to perform at the halftime show.
NME says that various voices online are saying that Madonna has already been signed for next year’s show, even though her rep wouldn’t say anything about it.
It could be that a confirmation is yet to be made by her management because there still are some details to iron out, voices online are saying, hoping that, indeed, the Queen of Pop will take the stage at world’s biggest sports event.
“According to sports site SB Nation, the iconic singer has signed a deal to perform at Super Bowl XLVI,” NME informs.
“Spokespeople for the NFL have declined to comment on the report, while Madonna’s representatives told Entertainment Weekly that there is ‘nothing to confirm at this point’,” the same report adds.
“Madonna recently revealed she’s planning to release a new single, taken from her pending 12th studio album, in February or March 2012,” NMW further says.
Seeing how the Super Bowl XLVI will take place on February 5, performing at the halftime show would offer the singer massive exposure to promote her new album and the upcoming singles off it.
An announcement is bound to be made in the following weeks.
As noted above, last year, the Super Bowl delivered some underwhelming performances for some music fans, as Christina Aguilera fumbled the lyrics to the national anthem, while Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas sounded worse for wear at certain points in their performance.
To make amends, Fergie issued a statement after the show, saying people shouldn’t be quick to judge her or Christina because, at the end of the day, there were still “only human,” as we also informed you at the time.
