Mixed reviews for Madge's Super Bowl half-time show

Eli Manning and the New York Giants defeated Tom Brady and the New England Patriots again, getting crowned Super Bowl champs for the second time in four years.

And while the pre-game entertainment, including Kelly Clarkson's rendition of the American national anthem, went off without a hitch, the same can't be said for Madonna's half-time extravaganza.

The 53-year-old pop icon did a mash-up with L.M.A.F.O. and was joined on stage by both Nicki Minaj and M.I.A.

With Madge shuffling around in her stiletto boots and nearly falling backward at one point, her performance is getting mixed reviews.  Some are saying she was noticeably nervous, while others say she did a stand-up job.

Meanwhile, NBC is apologizing after singer M.I.A. flipped the bird and appeared to swear during her performance.
