Lady Gaga's Super Bowl halftime show has been the best show is several years. Starting with God Bless America, and ending with Bad Romance, Lady Gaga set the bar exceedingly high for all future halftime shows. Actually, it was even better than the last several shows before her. Gaga's halftime show defines just how powerful of a performer that she is.
She starts her show at the top of the stadium and comes catapulting down, amazing her audience!

Gaga also included one of her newer songs, beautifully singing at the piano. She let the music be the star.
Even without the upbeat dance moves, she kept the audience's attention with her beautiful voice and EMOTION attached to the vocals. I felt little to no emotion from Levine. I'm unsure if this is a result of nerves or if he isn't as skilled of a performer.
Gaga's dance crew was also immaculate, giving the show so much energy. You may not think it is a big deal, but background dancers can really make or break a show. A show is only as strong as their weakest performer... we're looking at you Left Shark.
Maroon 5, and even last year's show with Justin Timberlake was nothing compared to Gaga. Levine fell so short of the bar set by Gaga, it is actually disappointing. The only impressive thing he did the entire halftime was show the audience all of his tattoos. The tease of the Spongebob reference wasn't even fair!
Let's try to do better next year, I want a performer that makes me want to watch the entire halftime, not wondering when it is over.
Maroon 5, Travis Scott and Big Boi have nothing on Lady Gaga.
