I liked the part where he said had "a Valkyrie in mind. More warrior women." I suspect that was in keeping with what he was told about the overall theme of the music: Independent Women, Single Ladies, etc.
Personally, I'm a big fan of the Valkyries and embrace this whole theme. When you consider the way warrior women are portrayed in comics and video games, the Superbowl outfits were downright nun-like.
Tastes in music and dance differ widely. That's a good thing, leads to variety and choice. I find the criticisms of the music here really stupid because it's all merely a matter of personal taste and, you know, different strokes and all that. I get my exercise dancing to Beyoncé, Gaga, and Jackson, etc, but I listen to Mozart, Ravi Shankar, et al, just as much.
Bottom line: For those who loved it, glad you enjoyed it! For those who hated it, next time just change the channel, ok?
