It is confirmed that Madonna will be performing at the half time slot of the 2012 Super Bowl in Indianapolis next February. The superstar will also be launching her new album that time coinciding with the prestigious musical showcase.
What should Madonna do to make her half time treat for the football fans a hit? Here are some of my suggestions:
Cover Up
Everyone’s eyes are ready for any wardrobe malfunction during the half time show of Super Bowl ever since the incident in 2004 involving Janet Jackson and Jason Timberlake. But Madonna has been an intriguing personality since she begun with things ranging from black Christ, kissing another female singer during an awards show, and releasing a book about analingus and sadomasochism. Ah, it will be nothing shocking if she flashes her chest.
Duet
How about a duet with other music icons like Michael Jackson. You know the kind of duet done by Natalie Cole with his dad Nat King Cole on video? Imagine the King of Pop on the big screen. Or maybe do a cover of one of Jacko’s songs.
Do it with Gaga
How about Madonna swallowing some of her pride to do Super Bowl’s half time show with the Italian-American performer Lady Gaga. The stage will be so unpredictable with the music icon and protégé sharing the spotlight.
Tomorrowland is probably Europe’s most exciting dance festival (maybe second behind sister-party Mysteryland in The Netherlands?), and each year it seems to be more exciting than the year before…

All musicians and singers dream of the day when their hard works is validated through a record deal. Knowing how to make that dream come true is vital to prevent wasted energy or resources on the road to successfully recording. These are three basic ways one can successfully achieve a record deal.
First, create a product that is going to attract the attention of record labels. Having a demo of one’s best work is crucial to getting the attention of those in the music business that can potentially sign you. The music should represent a band’s best production, so investing in quality recordings is critical. Once the demo album is recorded, it needs to be released in several different formats to accommodate the variety of tastes particular to record company’s preferences. For example, some labels will prefer a physical copy included in a press packet while others will desire an email with a link to a website that hosts the album for downloadable listening. Good music can be easily overlooked if the demo is of poor quality or if it was not shared in an appropriate format.
Second, create a proven track record of activity and self promotion. Labels will do a lot to produce an album and support a musician, but they want to know they are investing in a group that is committed to their own work. Playing concerts, keeping websites updated and maintaining a presence in the music world are all ways that a group can prove to a label that they are committed. Bands that find ways to have their music played on radio stations or by DJs will build a following that will translate into noticeable opportunity for the record company. Record companies want to nurture new talent, but bringing experience and proven dedication to the table will make a label more likely to see financial potential in an unsigned band.
I’m not going to talk about the real issue here (yes, I am a poker player, and yes, I lost money on black friday) – but I do want to share this absolutely genius satirical song by the one and only MrSrslySirius.
“Seizing some assets, yeah!”
“Campaign donations, yeah!”
Oh and there’s more genius on his YouTube channel…
There are many reasons why I think a child should learn to play an instrument. Learning to play a musical instrument gives a child a life-long skill.

Learning will not take place overnight but requires daily practice to improve their skills. Daily practice teaches a child that discipline and practice pay-off with vast rewards.
I’ve been a huge fan of Belgian singer Steffi Vertriest for ages, and I can’t wait to see her live again soon. This, however, is a video of her covering Loving You by Minnie Riperton.
