Maroon 5 Couldn't Put On As Big Of A Performance As Lady Gaga

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.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

1. When you have to provide an "interesting fact" for your first day ice-breaker.

2. When your professor is babbling on and on in his lecture.

3. When you edit your friend's paper and they get an A.
