The New York Giants are Super Bowl champions once again.

Giants quarterback Eli Manning was the game’s MVP once again.
And 53-year-old Madonna performed acrobatics and dramatic dance moves once again.

The half-time performance included a compilation of Madonna’s best-known sing-along-hits, as well as new releases, and featured cameos from younger chart toppers including LMFAO, Nicki Minaj, and Cee Lo Green. So does this mean Madonna’s still got it? Listen to the interview
