LMFAO: 'Madonna gave us inspiring pep talk at Super Bowl'

LMFAO have praised Madonna for her dedication in creating an innovative Super Bowl halftime show.
The dance group joined Nicki Minaj, MIA and Cee Lo Green as Madonna's special guests for her show-stopping greatest hits medley at Sunday's NFL championship game in Indianapolis.
LMFAO's SkyBlu has now revealed that just before the Super Bowl halftime show began, Madonna rallied all the performers with an emotional pep talk.
"She just gave one of the most inspirational speeches I've ever heard... before we got out there. And if the New England Patriots got that speech, they probably would have won," SkyBlu told Access Hollywood.
The musician added: "She was just giving thanks for everything that was going on and just said no matter what... We worked really hard for this moment and we're just going to have fun, kill it, and we did."
SkyBlu's fellow LMFAO member Redfoo also gave Madonna sole credit for creating the halftime spectacle.
"She had the master plan... she's just a master, a genius. It's the magical Madonna," Redfoo declared.
Madonna's Super Bowl halftime show has proved controversial because MIA raised her middle finger in full view of NBC's cameras.
NBC has since apologised for airing the middle finger gesture, but the network and the NFL have been condemned by the Parents Television Council.
