Halftime XLVI: Almost No Drama


What a great performance by Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton at the start of Super Bowl XLVI, and Kelly Clarkson just killed the National Anthem. 

Madonna had a great halftime performance with special guest surprises by Nicki Minaj, M.I.A., LMFAO and Cee Lo Green, but it wasn't completely drama free.

At one point Madonna stumbled (3:40 in) but recovered quickly, but the real eyebrow-raiser was when Madonna's guest, M.I.A., flipped the bird (8:05 in) to an NBC camera.

Oh yeah, by the way, Giants took the lead with 58 seconds remaining to win the game 21-17.
