Lady Gaga wants to sing on the roof of the Super Bowl — and lawyers and technicians alike are trying to figure out how to make her ambitious plan work.

Gaga has come up with the elaborate, and somewhat dangerous, idea to sing from the top of the NRG Stadium’s dome in Houston as part of her spectacular halftime show on Feb. 5.

Although insiders say “her team is worried” about technical and safety issues surrounding Gaga’s scheme, we’re told the “Born This Way” singer is “all for it” and “pushing to do it.”

“They’re writing up multiple plans about how to safely get her on the roof, including potentially [cutting] a hole in the ceiling of the dome,” says a source with knowledge of the arrangements.  ...

I can't remember the last SB halftime show I watched, and am not going to start this year.

The last time I watched any of the Super Bowl halftime show was in 2006, when the Rolling Stones appeared.

Come to think of it, that may be the last one I saw, too!

The last one I watched was 1/30/00 from the Georgia Dome Live.  Performers: Phil Collins, Christina Aguilera, Enrique Iglesias, Toni Braxton, 80-person choir, Edward James Olmos.

It sucked.  But the people seemed to like it.

Bruno Mars had a good HF show a few years ago. I had to ask my wife who he was.

The halftime show is always the same each year. Black singers or white hip hop rap artist.  Never pure rock or country music.

Word has it that if this stunt doesn't pan out Gaga is going to sing in a closed pen of 50 Pitbulls with her meat suit on.

That'd be spectacular. They could cut the hole halfway through Gaga'a first number.

I'll be LMAO if she falls. I know it's not nice but...

It's the only one I can remember because I kept laughing at the fact that he is a midget.

Don't feel bad. I can't remember the last time I watched a Super Bowl.

I'll be watching the Puppy Bowl as usual.

I'd pay to see that.

I don't believe in animal abuse.

I'm ok with this.  She did a great job on the anthem last year.  Her make-up choice was questionable, but she didn't butcher the song like too many singers do. 
When she's not trying to make some "statement" she's a pretty good singer.  Plus she's really savvy when it comes to marketing and her brand.  I mean, does anyone remember what any celebrity wore to the Golden Globes a few weeks ago?  Probably not, but everyone remembers what she wore to the MTV music video awards 7 years ago.

Little Person....  Don't make me toss you like a dwarf into a tub of mud!

If I have no interest in the teams and the game is boring, I'll spend more time watching Puppy Bowl, too. Can't beat the hamsters reporting from the blimp.

I solve the awful SB ht show problem by rarely watching the SB. The last SB game I watched was when the Packers played. The time before that was the previous time the Packers played. 
But even when I was still a huge football fan forty years ago, I skipped the halftime show. I hate halftime shows in any sport. Unless there's an Irish fiddler, I probably don't want to watch it. But I won't hold my breath waiting for that to happen.

Now that I'd pay to see.

I say, bring back Homer and Jethroe.

The only thing I'm interested in, is the Post-Game if the Patriots win, when Goodell has to present the Lombardi Trophy to Belichick and Brady...Now THAT will be "Must See TV."

I knew there was a kitty half-time show, but I didn't know about the hamsters in a blimp

Bring back Up With People!

"Up, up with people
You meet them wherever you go!"

I was part of them long long ago. Thanks for the memory, lol. Now that song, which I can't remember the last time I even thought about, is repeating in my head.
