Actually, you're right to an extent. Not in saying Madonna has no talent, but thinking about it.. she's always been known more for her lavish performances rather than her straight up singing ability.. although she sounds just fine, imo.
The problem is some of you are trying to compare her to actual bands, people who play instruments for a living, when what she does and what bands like Bruce Springsteen do are completely different.
Madonna sings, but also gives huge dance performances that have become her trademark and paved the way for people like Beyonce who do what they do now. If you're looking for her to sit down at a mic and play an instrument and sing a song, you simply arn't going to get it because that isn't what her performances are about. With her, its more about the show than it is about the music, and im sure the guys and gals responsible for picking the halftime performer knew this.
It wasn't a concert they were looking to put on, it was a grand, lavish performance.. and they got one. They dancing is just as big a part of it, if not more, than the singing.
There's a reason she's the top selling female recording artist of all time, and the top solo artist in the history of the Billboard charts.. and number 2 all time behind only the Beatles.. and in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
..and its not because she has no talent.
