The music, I could care less, but I bet she brings it with the message !

Uhhhh, I just wish these stars would stay away from politics, it's a horror blue concoction and ruins it for the majority of us that just want to see the artists stick to their art and nothing more.

Me too. Then we wouldn't have a reality tv star as president.

That goes for the liberal arts adjunct professors in all the college institutions as well. Lol

She does have talent even though she goes to great lengths to hide it.

That's the sad thing about it all.

That goes for the liberal arts adjunct professors in all the college institutions as well. funny that liberals tend to be gifted with the intelligence to be professors and attend college. the rest, well you know the answer to that.

amid intense divisions over President Donald Trump, of whom Lady Gaga has been a passionate critic.

Look, I know it is the in thing to hate Donald Trump but sometimes these artists need to look at their career and fan base before getting on stage and spitting their political views. A large population voted for Trump too which may include many Lady Gaga fans. If you criticize Trump, you also criticize his supporters. The Super Bowl is America's biggest stage.

I remember during a recent spat between Israel/Palestine, one country attacked the other though it was unclear who started it and who's fault it was. The guy who left One Direction criticized Israel for it. This really hurt and may have lost him/the group many of their Jewish fans.

"Attention grabbing political views" vs common human decency this day.

Lady Gaga promises Super Bowl message of inclusion

Yeah everyone is included - except Christians, white men, conservatives, Americans who love their country, and generally anyone who believes in free speech and are against identity politics racism. These people are excluded from the inclusion.

I look forward to watching the Super Bowl. I do not look forward to political statements.

I am not a supporter of Trump, but many of the anti-Trump crowd are taking things way too far and are obviously not for "inclusion"

For example, Milo Yiannopoulos was prevented from speaking at U.C. Berkeley by rioters (who the U.S. media called protesters). While the protesters have every right to be heard, not allowing Mr. Yiannopoulos to speak and be challenged is not "inclusion".

Additionally the Irish publication, The Village, showed the cover of their magazine with a sniper scope on President Trump's left temple. Is this an example of how to promote inclusion? Although the end of the article states they do not promote the assassination of President Trump many will not read so far.

There is some truth to what Wolfpack says. The pendulum in the U.S. continues to swing further and further to the "left" and "right" and it seems that all sense of balance is lost.

Lady Gaga - you do have talent and a terrific voice. Please just sing, show your talent, and let's enjoy what hopefully will be a great football game.

No problem. Boycotting the Toilet Bowl.

Kind hard for her to make some of her fans come to watch her in any sport game. Fans prefer their team heroes interviews. I prefer to watch Matt and Tom match up.

craca - the like-ability of artists is of course subjective - and in a sense we're all correct. But the "poor woman's madonna" statement says what?

I've appreciated madonna for decades and have never begun to compare her to gaga. They are both their own selves, their own artists. How ever I believe gaga's crossover talents in a wide variety of musical forms, her musicianship, her choreography, her artistic interpretations etc have established her as one of the great 21stC performers. Not just my opinion. Look around, read.

And gaga's clever intro of God Bless America / This Land medley was not lost on many. Woody Guthrie (the antithesis of trump) wrote the classic This Land is your Land as a reaction to the popular at the time classic God Bless America by irving berlin. It's been a patriotic song of the left for decades and made esp popular by Pete Seeger.

I wonder if trump noticed it?

craca - you can't touch that - he, he!

Madonna clone??? Oh - American blonde singer, that's certainly unique.

And re great women performers of the 21st C that can write, compose, play, sing, dance, choreograph, create etc at the level of gaga - who are they? I'm not slinging - just want to know who they are, as for sure they exist.
