Gene Simmons: Madonna Is Inappropriate for 2012 Super Bowl

By Larry Yepez Jr.

By now you've probably  heard that the Queen of Pop will be taking center stage on football's biggest night! For the first time ever, Madonna will perform at halftime of the 2012 Super Bowl in Indianapolis.

Like for most things in life, there are lovers and there are haters, and unfortunately the haters have started to speak their minds saying that Madonna shouldn't be performing on the big football day, February 5, 2012. Those in fury over the announcement include Super Bowl fans and some celebrities.

TMZ is reporting that the KISS frontman, Gene Simmons, has come out against Madonna, saying that she isn't an "appropriate act" for the Super Bowl.

"I love all karaoke singers, I love all the girl singers who get up and sing with tapes ... shame on you! By the way, Madonna's terrific ... I hate the tapes," said Gene to TMZ.

Apparently, he feels as though Madonna will lip-synch through her performance. He would rather see a real band play because they will actually perform and not lip-synch.

Madonna's romantic drama W.E. will be hitting theaters two days before the game. She is also currently recording an album that’s slated to be released in 2012, so the timing is perfect for 53 year-old diva to plug her new tracks at the game.

The Superbowl sis the most-watched event of the year, and the queen of pop is going BIG! Madonna will be working with a Cirque du Soleil team to create what promises to be the most stunning half-time act ever seen at a Super Bowl game. Her longtime collaborator Jamie King, who recently directed the Cirque’s Michael Jackson The Immortal World Tour will be part of the team for this gig.

Moment Factory is the company in charge of putting together the show, and the company's creative director, Sakchin Besette, put his input by saying that they're "extremely excited to be working with someone as creative, talented and visionary as Madonna." He added,

"[We] always look to engage audiences with something they have never seen before, and we are certain that this show will thrill spectators."

One thing is for sure, Madonna is one heck of a performer and she has probably more lovers than haters rooting for her and excited to see the show she will put on for the Superbowl Spectacle.

Do you think Madonna is an appropriate singer for the Super Bowl?
