You know what really grinds my gears? Madonna is performing at the friggin' Super Bowl this year. What kind of an idiot came up with that idea? What a way to connect with typical NFL fans, geniuses. You know who should perform at the Super Bowl? AC/DC, KISS, Cheap Trick, or Jimmy Buffett, and it's a damn tragedy that none of them have in the past. I don't know about you, but I will be watching something else during halftime while pounding a six pack of Pawtucket Patriot. And that's what really grinds my gears.

I'm really surprised AC/DC or Cheap Trick haven't been asked to do it yet. Both would put on a good show that would appeal to a lot of NFL fans. At least more-so than Madonna. They're also older groups that would fit with some of the other acts NFL has chosen to go with lately.

ZZ Top did it in 1997. So I can understand the NFL not repeating an act. That being said, I saw them in concert last year and they are still amazing. There are so many better options that the NFL could be going with.

Regardless, nothing is worse than the show from 2001: Aerosmith, 'N Sync, Britney Spears, Mary J. Blige, and Nelly. MTV should never be allowed to produce the halftime show ever again. I love Aerosmith, but that was a travesty of a show.

Damn...I remember watching that game and how we had a rare Seattle snow fall that day, but I wish I remembered that halftime show.

/Just checked Wikipedia.
//ZZ Top didn't perform the entire show. :-(

NeoCortex42		2012-02-03 12:46:05 PM

I just read through the Wiki page of halftime shows. The theme of this year's is W.E. The NFL is really losing it with its attempt to pull in people who would never watch a football game. The odds of me sitting through the halftime show just dropped to zero.

You know who would be a great fit for the Superb Owl halftime show?

Nickelback.

I think that Prince's half time performance was the best half time show ever.

Jimmy Buffet? He'd sue people halfway through his song for singing along.

Because the idea is the halftime show is for the people watching the Super Bowl who don't like football. You know, all the women. Guys get the game, women get the halftime. Been that way for years.

The big draw for women is the commercials. Seriously...have you met anyone who watched the Super Bowl just because of the half time act?

I will be, or more accurately I will watch the half time act only. I'm not going to lie, I'm a huge Madonna fan, since her first album. I'm really looking forward to this and you haters aren't going to take away my enjoyment of watching a good entertainer do her stuff.

"Enjoying cigars"? Is that the code name for it these days?

You know what? I am not a Madonna fan. Her music just isn't my thing. You know what else? She is going to put on a balls-out show, it will be produced and choreographed to within an inch of its life, and the quality will be through the roof. It WILL be entertaining. Remember the Black Eyed Peas? Remember the "make it up as you go along" piece of crap they put on? Yeah, that's not gonna happen when one of the most professional people in the business steps onto the 50 yard line.

Oh for fark's sake, get a grip.

Not liking Madonna or her music or her doing the halftime show or thinking she's a scabby old rat bag (tm Monty Python) is not hate. It's not even close to hate. This is what hate looks like:

globalvoicesonline.org

Tusti's slaughtered by Hutus in Rwanda in 1994. Using "hate" to describe the reactions to a farking pop singer is obscene.

On a side note -- does it seem that the *new* Madonna single today sounds remarkably like an *old* Avril Lavigne song?

Madonna has got to be taking something. She looks ready to sprout a penis, and I say that as a person who likes athletic looking women.

Have you ever watched his SB Press Conference, it's also amazing and he blows the roof off for a room full of journalists. He played Johnny B Goode to start it off...then later plays guitar with one of his dancers tucked under his arm.

That halftime show almost didn't happen, one major power cable was cut and a guy had to stand under the stage holding them together. Really interesting article on the stage design and show setup:

What an asshole. Mohr stole that joke from @kellyoxford on Twitter. He follows her, or used to.
What a lame ass comedian.
