Ale-Alejandro

Wow, 8,5 mil viewers less... shocked.
That's like a whole European country not being here for Beyonce.
The numbers are not good, I'm afraid.

Last year the games were between no.1 RIVALRIES, and it was really intense. This year, the teams were kind of random, and there were no hype around it whatsoever. The play before Bey's performance was sooo boring and lackluster.

Not a good excuse though. Madonna did higher than the overall game's average, Beyonce did lower. No matter how you spin it, Madonna wins.

Um she was higher, did you not see the part about her outperforming the first half of the game? This SB didn't have as much hype as last year.

this is stupid anyway, Beyonce has received massive acclaim for her performance. what exactly are people trying to say that her performance was a flop?

So Madonna did better than a much more hyped SB? The Queen

Acclaim for Beyonce comes from the same brown nosing Hollywood figures who learned from Keri Hilson that if anyone says anything bad about her, his/her career is done. I don't know how you gauge the general public perception but it isnt necessarily aligned to the acclaim from media sources. I mean, I can use Yahoo comments to discredit her performance.

Anyways, why didn't Beyonce release or perform her new single? That right there would have shot her numbers up.

Better half time show than last year according to critics

It's not about how many people saw your show, but who actually enjoyed it

Considering she delivered one of the 5 greatest halftime shows ever up there with MJ, Prince and U2 -- I don't think Beyonce has anything to be upset about.

LMFAO! Because I'm sure Michelle Obama and Oprah were horrified that their careers would be over if they didn't rave about Beyonce

and Yahoo? lol try using Facebook, where she was THE most talked about part of the game and where the phrase "killed it" had 40,000% increase

satellites.™

104 million people.

Yes because the GP cares about these ratings

The only people making a big deal about it are the stans

I still wanna know why the Medonsters are so bothered...

Billboard is trying too hard. All they have is the CBS Releases which is a great source of info, but.... The 48.2 is from overnight ratings. The overnight numbers are unofficial and often flunctuate a good bit.

For example, the overnight rating for the entire superbowl was 48.1/71. The actual rating was 46.3/69.

We'll know how Beyonce really did (how much less than 114 million; an increase or decrease from thew first half) around noon tomorrow when the online publications post the official numbers they've recieved form Nielsen .

ETA:

Bruce Springsteen 95.7 (2009) (-3.0 from actual SB Avg. Total)
Blackeyed Peas: 110.3 million (2011) (-.7 from actual SB Avg. Total)
Madonna: 114 million (2012) (+2.7 from actual SB Avg. Total)

Jaxsin

Still proud of her

Imogene

There numbers don't lie.

@ anyone who thought she can beat Madonna. Whether you respect her or not she's been long enogh in this biz to get more attention.

nvd vabweve NOT you blaming the teams.

Everyone watches the SuperBowl no matter who's playing.

THE NUMBERS ARE NOT OFFICIAL!!! Lets see tomorrow.

Absolute death at some of you. Of course Madonna is a bigger draw than Beyonce. However, I personally feel Beyonce was LEAPS AND BOUNDS more entertaining than Madonna. But whatever.

Let's not even pretend that the halftime show is the main reason that most people watch the Super Bowl anyway. These girls are not to thank for the 100m+ or 110+ viewers.

I'd peg it as about 80 million people comprised of men and women who would watch the Super Bowl regardless of whether Bey, Madonna or Lindsay Lohan performed at halftime and an extra 20-30m entertainment freaks that tune in just for halftime show and commercials - 500 of which being ATRL members - who are no doubt probably the only 500 that actually give a **** about this comparison article.
