[eoMMan]

Would love to see Jay Z and Kanye out there too. Maybe do All Of The Lights?

 

[rockaction]

Kanye

He's kinda toxic at this point.

 

[TripItUp]

It's Ri-Ri time!

 

[culdeus]

Anyone explain why they dressed her like a who in the promos?

 

[belljr]

I just need some Love

 

[jamny]

Gus!

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

She’s no Linda.

 

[The Dude]

Kinda stinks so far

 

[The Kerminator]

I think the mystery UFOs that have appeared over the U.S. and Canada recently has just been solved

 

[Ilov80s]

Didn’t know this had its own thread. Great songs from top to bottom, I prefer Rihanna over Beyoncé but Bey is won the halftime battle. Rihanna is a little low energy tonight.

 

[Ilov80s]

Kanye

He's kinda toxic at this point.

No way anybody would trust Kanye right now to go on live TV during the SB.

Pretty clear she's pregnant, so not surprising.

 

[jobarules]

It's funny how the whole world found out she was pregnant at the same time.

Last song Diamond was epic

 

[johnnycakes]

I don't get it. It's not music that is technically talented; Rihanna is not especially interesting... not sexy, not provocative, not edgy. It' just noise and lights as far as I can tell.

 

[TripItUp]

Social media is abuzz

Abuzz with what?

Strongly disagree to much of this

 

[fruity pebbles]

That’s she’s pregnant. Gonna be awkward if she’s not.

 

[eoMMan]

Kanye

I hear you, but it’s hard to deny that he wouldn’t have made it more interesting and/or entertaining.

 

[jobarules]

Are you nuts? She oozes sexy.

 

[Ray Barboni]

I don’t get it.

You probably could’ve stopped there.

 

[Ilov80s]

I hear you, but it’s hard to deny that he wouldn’t have made it more interesting and/or entertaining.

Yes but we probably don’t need a man in the middle of the most watched show in the world going on an antisemitic rant.

oozes sexy? Puhleez.... I've seen lot lizards that are sexier than her.

 

[dkp993]

Last years show straight dominated this. I started playing games on my phone 2 mins in.

She was hotter before she decided to get a million tattoos, imo. Go watch the All The Lights video.

 

[TripItUp]

wow, no love for all the bangers she just rolled out and nailed vocally?

 

[rockaction]

wow, no love for all the bangers she just rolled out and nailed vocally?

Uh, dude, she was lip synching.

 

[culdeus]

Dunno if it was the mix or what, but her vocals were turned down and the shots were so wide I don't know how you could tell if she was singing or not.

 

[TripItUp]

whoops!!

 

[dkp993]

100%.

 

[Orange&Blue]

It was okay, but diamond was pretty awesome.

 

[Captain Cranks]

I gave it a 6, but would have been lower if I didn't like Rihanna. It was pretty boring, honestly.

 

[DA RAIDERS]

This

 

[belljr]

I don't like a lot of pop music but I Rhianna......

Don't forget Whitney lip synced the national anthem damnit

 

[ChicoCat]

Thought the floating around was pretty cool. She did a'ight.

 

[titusbramble]

Not sure what was worse, the half time show or that late holding call

 

[Skipdog77]

Seeing a brief glimpse of Nuno Bettencourt on stage was the highlight.

 

[Skipdog77]

Dunno if it was the mix or what, but her vocals were turned down and the shots were so wide I don't know how you could tell if she was singing or not.

The couple of shots where she pulled the mic away from her mouth but the vocals continued loud and clear were a pretty easy tell.

 

[James Bond]

I have to say I was underwhelmed.

 

[The General]

I thought she was going to pass out a couple times. She is preggers so guess will give her a pass

 

[shuke]

It was a total ripoff.

I was rooting for her, but there were at least a couple dozen instances of this. It was embarrassing.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Yep. There were numerous moments where we could hear her singing and the mic wasn't even close to her face, but in all fairness, the NFL makes everyone do it this way. There was an article the other day that said artists are not given the choice to sing totally live when doing the halftime show. They can sing live over their pre-recording backing track they do in rehearsals, but no one is allowed to sing totally live at the Super Bowl.

Prince. That is all. Best ever. Period.

 

[fruity pebbles]

Seemed like the entire show was an extravagant pregnancy announcement

Not sure that’s even fair to compare. Prince was a true artist, Rhianna is an “entertainer”. Hell she didn’t even write her biggest hits.

His is the best halftime show ever. zero lip sync. Pouring rain.
