Megyn Was Underwhelmed By World Cup Halftime Performers Madonna, BTS, and Bieber (But Not Shakira)

A word on the World Cup. Congratulations to Spain and its fans. Personally, I was rooting for Argentina because we have beautiful friends from Argentina, and they were so sad, so sad. So I know how important soccer is, football, to basically everybody outside the United States and several million inside the U.S. as well, though I don't think we compare to the enthusiasm in Europe and South America and beyond. So in any event, I did watch large portions of the finals and large portions of the World Cup. And I have to say, I agree with the critics of the halftime show. It was terrible. First, they opened up with Madonna, who I don't know what she's doing, people. And I don't even know if she can still sing because she only ever uses the track and does the lip syncing. I have yet to hear the actual Madonna's voice in the past decade or so, but here's what she looked like. Okay, I liked that song. I remember it when I was married to my first husband, literally 26 years ago. It's fine, but I feel like the World Cup could have gotten more relevant talent, right? Lip syncing, of course, because again, we have no idea whether she can still sing. And the dancing was lame too. I'm not gonna lie. That's the one thing Madonna really kind of could do all along, not there. I don't know what she's doing. She's just squatting and of course, writhing because that's her thing these days. Then after Madonna, we saw BTS, one of the biggest bands in the world. And I'm not gonna lie, no offense, Bonnie. My friend Bonnie loves them and I get it. They are very talented normally. I don't know if they were phoning it in, but both the lip syncing and the dancing look like a college boy band imitating BTS to me. Look at this. So the acrobats around them are doing a good job. The actual band, look how they're phoning in even the motions. This is no Michael Jackson at the Super Bowl, people. Look at them, they look tired. It's like they had jet lag or something. Not impressed. Again, if I wanna hear a lip sync track, I'll just press play on Spotify or Sirius. Why do I have to tune into that? Then came Justin Bieber and it was a beautiful song for Christians. But I'm just gonna tell you, it wasn't the right song for the World Cup. It slowed everything down. It was a ballad. It was a ballad that has sort of a sad, holy, holistic feel to it. In the right mood, it'd be the perfect song. But at the World Cup halftime show, here's a little of that. Okay, you get the gist. It was too much. It was too sad, too slow, too somber. It brought the room down. And then thank God for Shakira, who I must say, saved the day. Look. As you watch this, she's 49. She was great. Great. The right vibe, a great song. She looked amazing. I cannot believe she's 49 years old. She's moving around like she's 29 years old. Congrats to her on not showing us her vag this time like she did at the Super Bowl. With JLo a couple of years ago, it was classy. She had on sort of a hula outfit, which was totally fine, kind of saucy, but not too much for her age or for the setting. And she sang a great song. Again, I think that was also a track, but I forgave it because the dancing was good and she sold it. We really, really value your input and your support.
