So, the Super Bowl XLIX happened last weekend and while it’s not a big deal to us Malaysians, the halftime show is always fun to watch. This year, Katy Perry headlined the halftime show but we all know who the true star of the Super Bowl was. No, we are not even talking about the Super Bowl’s MVP Tom Brady! It’s clear that the star to got our freak on was none other than the incomparable Missy Elliott.
When I heard the first few seconds of ‘Get Ur Freak On’, my entire body had goosebumps and I lost complete control of my shoulders. It’s been a decade since Missy’s last Billboard hit, which was ‘Lose Control’ but it’s clear to see from the halftime show at the Super Bowl, Missy has still got the star power she once possessed and is ready for a comeback.
Did it annoy me that some kids thought she was a new artist? Perhaps. Did I want to strangle the kid that said Missy Elliott “is trying to hard to be like Nicki Minaj”? I most certainly did. But what’s important is that we are ready for a full and proper musical comeback by Missy Elliott.
Check out the show-stopping performance below:
