"The latter took over the arena, reducing Perry to a hypeman who punctuated Missy's raps with interjections: "Come on!" "Holla!" Moving with a sense of rhythm and coordination, Missy looked like Bob Fosse next to Perry."
Rude tbh

Not that much could be expected of Perry. She is the most underwhelming person to occupy the space of Massively Popular, No-Brainer Hitmaking Pop Diva since Paula Abdul, and at least Paula Abdul could dance. There is no there there with Katy Perry. I don't know if a pop star has ever had less there, in fact. She is superlative at nothing.

She doesn't even have enough taste to refuse to wear whatever her people are putting her in—she opened the show in a top whose 3D flames were reminiscent of a Guy Fieri bowling shirt. She flaunts tackiness (see the infantile staging of "Teenage Dream" and "California Gurls," which featured anthropomorphized beach balls and palm trees, as well as the aforementioned shark) like it's aesthetic volition, when I suspect that she actually has no other choice but to be tacky and embrace it in fake-it-till-you-make-it sleight of hand.
Missy doesn't have any songs that the GP would recognize by "the first chord" like Katy said about her guest in the interview so I doubt it.

Both of those are hits, yes, but neither have an iconic opening chord or are probably still recognized by the demographic that watch the Super Bowl, but drag, I guess

Seriously, go out and ask ANYONE on the street to name 3 Missy Elliot songs. You'll probably even get people asking who that even is.

See, Missy is the equivalent to MySpace. After reminiscing on middle school/the early 2000's for about an hour it eventually could get brought up, but just like her songs, you couldn't remember your email or password used to create your account.
A BIG deal at her peak, but now no one cares.

Stay mad, Missy is forgotten by the GP and that's just how it is.

Tbh, it's really only Work It and maybe Get Ur Freak On. Most people would not recognize Lose Control.

Lol Missy is known to some of us who grew up in the early 2000's. No one else would know her music nowadays.
She's missing from the top 5000. Clearly she holds very little relevance to the current generation so I'm not sure what some of you are trying to prove with your posts.
Even Katy said something about bringing her back to the spotlight.
But death @ the urban community not knowing Missy's songs. At the very least, Missy and her music are still remembered by that crowd. Of course, a bunch of 15 year old Katy Perry stans wouldn't know Missy or anyone else who came out around her time/during her heyday. People here need to stop acting like they are from a particular culture or community.
He shouldn't have revealed himself to be a bitter Hive member at the end. Made his worthless article pathetic instead of pretentious.
ugh. See the NewYorkTimes article as well and The Guardian from last year's halftime, I feel like these critics were all brainwashed by Beyoncé and her propaganda. It's disgusting.

Completely overshadowed.
I'm sure if you added all of the sales of each song bought with the albums, they'd be higher.
