This Year's Halftime Show
 
What do y'all think about this year's halftime show? I thought it sucked pretty hard...

GeauxForMore 02-06-2011 09:02 PM

I've seen worse.

|Mitch| 02-06-2011 09:28 PM

It was bad, but I've seen worse.

Slash was the highlight...

WhoDat!656 02-06-2011 09:31 PM

Strato was right. Slash was the highlight as far as talent, but Fergie still is hot!!

Srgt. Hulka 02-06-2011 09:33 PM

Bring back "Up With People"!! That's how bad it was.

jlouhill 02-06-2011 09:55 PM

The only thing worse than the halftime show was Christina butchering the national anthem.

You got that right jlouhill!

Jerryland's version of the Superbowl has been a total cluster****...

The only thing that would have made this sweeter would have been if the Saints had played and won and Sean Payton had a bottle sent to Jerry's Suite...

I posted that and called way before the game started. I had the tv on mute when she came on. I KNEW she was going to"jjjjj-aaa-zzz it and str, I say ssstr-essss the National Anthem. Disgusting. She does this every time she is called on to sing this song. Some songs should not be jazzed up and they don't need your signature flavor. The National Anthem, other patriotic songs, and Ave Maria should not be jazzed up.
The girl from Glee did a wonderful job with God Bless America.
Do what you want to your songs and Happy Birthday.

Half-time,I LOVED it!! BEP are now, fun and on the charts. Lots of lights and dancers. Usher is fun and now to. Great special effects with Usher .
Slash,whever someone needs hard rocking quitar, it is like call Slash. BEP Fergie did fine with GnR remake there.

I wish this year's half-time was the Saints half-time instead of the Old The Who. They just looked so old. They are and they just moved so old.
I like 60's, 70's British rock. I like some things by The Who, but they were really lame and the show was not colorful with enough lights, dancers, colors.

I agree, this didn't go well for Jerry at all. There were so many issues I do not see them getting another Super Bowl for a long time. I mean they even had seating issues, like WTH? From the beginning Jerry was just a little too ****y for his own good. Like believing his Cowboys were going to be playing in the Super Bowl in their own crib and stuff, to all the issues leading up to the game, and then the game. What a mess...

Crusader 02-07-2011 05:32 AM

Horrible sound killed it for me. Fergie should have just have stood there and I would have been completely happy...

saintsfan1976 02-07-2011 06:38 AM

Fergies boobz looked like my xmas tree

subguy 02-07-2011 06:59 AM

Really bad halftime show.....the music came form the sky, no band, and you really could only hear crappy vocals. Slash was fine but would have like to hear it a bit louder.

neugey 02-07-2011 08:14 AM

I felt it was a minor train wreck.

I thought Fergie trying to sing and dance like Axl was embarrassing.

I don't know what Slash had done to be forced to take part in this hip-hop Super Bowl - must have been something pretty bad.

Very weird when Usher came in an momentarily took over and sung for a minute or two then did the splits. It felt like he was trying to crash BEP's party.

The Tron motif was lame. Was ready to de-rez everyone but Fergie :-)

papz 02-07-2011 08:30 AM

My 2 year old loves Usher and BEP... so we thought it was pretty good. I like how they mixed some old school with new school stuff. I mean really... it certainly beats "The Who".

aquaboogie 02-07-2011 09:49 AM

The Stones in XL were by far the worst in History.

D_it_up 02-07-2011 09:53 AM

It all makes sense that Christina Aguilera and the Black Eye Peas were horrendous. To be associated with anything in Cowboys Stadium, the first requirement is that you completely suck. Like the Cowboys, for instance.

My idea for next Super Bowl halftime ...

Metallica. They are mainstream enough for most to enjoy. Three songs: Enter Sandman, Battery, Seek and Destroy. No medleys.

Just pyro, smoke, lights, crowd surfing and circle pits. No synchronized crowd dancing, no stage props, no guest stars, no auto-tuning voice effects.

All so some poor sheltered and indoctrinated kids out there can see actual rock n roll.

Work it.

Euphoria 02-07-2011 10:08 AM

These shows are what they are. Just a highlight show for an artist who may have earned it with their career. I don't put much into these things anymore. Was it really the worse NO! Was it the Best No! It will just depend on who you ask.

Actually I thought the Who last year was perhaps the worse I saw.

foreverfan 02-07-2011 10:08 AM

Shooting up now means the enima bag. - The Who

Yea, last year was a little tired. The Who was a little too old.
This year, does anybody think that the crowd was that interested?
I'd be pissed if I paid $2000 a ticket for that show.

They should have went some where in the "Middle" and go with.... Boy George.

They shoud have cut away from Christina's butchering and played this on the 60 yard long monitor.


Or this...


Or this...


Anything but this debacle...


AsylumGuido 02-07-2011 10:26 AM

I loved The Who and totally hated the show this year. My wife told me before the game even started that she was expecting the halftime show to stink and pointed out that she was right after it was over.

neugey 02-07-2011 10:30 AM

Christina is such a gifted singer - all she has to do is dial down the histrionics and sing soft and gentle. But I guess that's not her thing.

Danno 02-07-2011 10:35 AM

4 bands, 1 in each corner of the endzone, from 4 different genre's of music, 1 or two songs each...

New Artist/Band
Classic Artist/Band
Country Artist/Band
R&B Artist/Band

Something for everyone.

ClintSaints 02-07-2011 10:36 AM

I thought The Who was pretty bad last year. In terms of pure performance level, I thought Prince was probably the best of the last ten years. Btw, I thought Fergie was off last night. The visuals were kind of fun though.

Oh, and, Geaux Packers!

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself

Or this...

YouTube - Faith Hill National Anthem

Or this...

YouTube - Carrie Underwood - NFL National Anthem

Anything but this debacle...

YouTube - Christina Aguilera National Anthem - Super Bowl XLV Screwed Up HD



You just listed my favorite renditions of the National Anthem in exact order, Sarge. Whitney's version STILL sends chills up my spine. Christina, on the other hand, should be drug out into public and be shot several times in the throat to save us and herself from any further embarrassment.

OldMaid 02-07-2011 11:30 AM

Whitney Houston, followed by Beyonce, Faith Hill, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson were the best of singing the National Anthem according to you tube.
Lea Michelle, actress from Glee, did a wonderful, outstanding job of singing America The Beautiful.
I agree Christina's was the worst, but I did not even hear her sing. I left the room.
CA singing the National Anthem and murdering and disgracing it is not new. She does this. Lakers Cham. game, CA sang Nat. Anthem, and it was horrible. A disgrace.
Over stressting words. Repeating words.
Why is the girl asked to do it over and over again.
I think after this disgrace, artists should be a requirement that is to be sung properly and if the person wants to add her own spin, change the words, well, don't be allowed to do it.

Write up about her SB performance...

totally stunk it up, miss augualaria

saintfan 02-07-2011 01:17 PM

Somebody said Metallica - and I'd go for that. Nothing against the BEPs - some of their songs are okay, but jeesh they just cannot carry it 'live'.

I was thinking this morning...the NFL should just get somebody like George Strait and park him on the logo on the 50 yard line and give him an amp and let him do his thing for about 20 minutes. There is something to be said for keeping it simple.

Get some real players you know? Metallica would be good. Hell, they could have drove a couple miles down to Austin and found 50 club bands that could have carried it off brilliantly.

Ima tell y'all what. That chick trying to sing Sweet Child of Mine...I don't care how good looking people think she is (looks kinda ho-ish to me, but that's just me), that woman wouldn't make it on American Idol. I know lots of sweet looking ladies that can sing, so how did she ever become famous? Who'd she blow? Seriously...

Ashley 02-07-2011 01:22 PM

HA! Jerry Jones Superbowl show! Way to take the stage Jerry, your death star halftime show=

I totally agree. I get so worked up when people try to turn the national anthem into some hip-hop song. It totally disgusts me. :argue:

saintfan 02-07-2011 07:41 PM

Unless your name is Ray Charles, you probably ought to leave the Motown out of the National Anthem. Pick a note and sing that note. All this wallering up and down...well, thanks hip hop is about all I can say...

No, wait, here's how it should be done for you young up and coming singers. Pay attention and LEARN HOW IT'S DONE:
