Prince at Half-Time

[jjreason]

Guess my thread over in the "music" section is a duplicate, as this discussion is well underway.

I'll echo my over there sentiments here though (GNT would, which makes it okay), and say he rocked. I loved the Foo cover - thought it was the highlight of the set in fact.

It was as boring as every other half-time show.

Yep. Not even Janet's tatter at half time was exciting for me.


I'll wager Newsbot was excited though.

I'm upset. They could have arranged to have an Ashley Simpson wardrobe malfunction or something cooler like that!

I'm assuming you mean Janet Jackson?

You wanted a wardrobe malfunction on Prince? Hm, suddenly Tycho, so many things i thought I knew about you and your antics just flew out the window.

didn't do it for me. was working a Super Bowl Party so I basically just heard a few snipits as I was cleaning up the food. I think the best Halftime Show I have seen was the year with Paul McCartney.

How about Billy Joel singing the anthem ? He sounded a little off-key in the begininng.

[Tycho]

No. Prince is disgusting! And I'm not into guys.

Next, I'm also not into Janet Jackson. So I just picked Ashlee Simpson as a quick resort.

I'd volunteer Lindsey Lohan, but I don't know which one of the teeny-boppers are bad singers and which ones are just bad actresses. I don't think I'm attracted to any of the current "stars," or at least I don't pay much attention to them. Kristin Kruek (Smallville) is still my style.

EDIT: I just thought of something that would be disgusting, but nevertheless funny - a Donald Trump / Rosie O'Donnel mud wrestling match at the 50 yard line! With the crowd calling for blood and hair pulling (not to mention the destruction of the comb-over) that would be entertainment. They could pipe in Metallica for the occasion: "Aint' My B***ch!"

They should have consulted me on the entertainment options for this show. I'd give America what it's begging for!

I noticed that as well. It almost sounded like his voice cracked a bit.

[JediTricks]

Yeah, Billy Joel's voice was cracking at the beginning, and was flat throughout.


I think Prince is a great musical artist, but he totally flopped yesterday. He was playing the guitar for sure, but there were parts that he was faking as well. But nobody would fake playing THAT sloppy, and Prince brought no energy to his singing either - I suspect the rain bummed him out and killed his guitar playing as well. I was actually quite surprised at how badly Prince did with this.

How 'bout the shadow antics with his guitar ?

It was okay I guess, but totally unneccesary to cover 2 lackluster songs when he has so many of his own good ones to play.
