Worst Halftime EVER (1 Viewer)

Who in the hell picked the Jonas brothers for a NFL game, poor marks all around.

Can anyone think of a worse halftime show in recent memory?

 
you're kidding right?

try talking about the good half-time shows it's a much quicker discussion. what was that last one that had a bunch of ghetto bimbos up on stage "singing" god only knows what? :barf: oh yeah janet jackson ring a bell?

ps but the 10 seconds of it I managed to tolerate I agree it was pathetic.

I remember some guy named Usher a few years ago making me want to vomit out my soul. I've been muting them ever since. Pop music is unlistenable, across the board, it's for kids and morons. I mute the National Anthem now too, sadly, thanks to the skank who whored it up in a Dallas Monday night game earlier this year.

 
I don't care for them, but they didn't suck. Geez what'd ya want, a Victoria's Secret Christmas lingerie preview? :thumbup:

Well...Watching some beautiful women prance around as snow bunnies isn't a bad idea afterall... Unless you like guys (Not that there is anything wrong with that).

Easy tiger. I'd watch that...
Hey dude, I'd watch that too. :rant:
:rant: Hot women are something we can agree on...

In recent memory I would have to say the halftime show for the Lions-Titans game with Jesse McCartney was just as bad. I think it was arranged that way so all us guys watching the game would get up and do something else since it's Thanksgiving. Ha!

I would say alternate diff HS or college bands in there but I know people would shoot that down in a hurry!
It's not about what people want. Disney is paying big money to get these "artists" out there.
Isn't there someone willing to pay "Big Money" to get some "Quality artists" out there?Jonas Brothers playing Guitar Heros - "Artists" :excited: :unsure:

Real bands have comparatively little financial backing. The last remaining real big money rock bands don't really need the publicity or headache of the Thanksgiving halftime show, they'd rather shoot for the Super Bowl or not bother.Super Bowl halftime shows have been fine by me lately. I like the old school rocker resurgence we've seen there, after Justin and Janet showed us how seriously pop dreck peddlers take their craft.

 
It's as if the TV execs think there's a bunch of 15yo girls watching. :popcorn:

Thank the maker (of Tivo) for Tivo.

 
I'm not sure what was worse, the halftime show itself or all the comments Joe Buck and Aikman kept making about how good the Jonas brothers are.

 
That was the worst I have ever witnessed. They were terrible. Why did the NFL decide to let an act like that on stage? Did the target audience for the NFL change to 10-14 year old girls?

 
The NFL knows they OWN us... so they get announcers they think will draw "non-football" fans, and do half time shows like this in an attempt to expand their audience, and their revenues. It sucks. They sold the game... and the game sells itself. Now they want people who could care less about football to watch.

Still, with the idiots they have doing the studio talking head schtick, who cares? I don't watch the likes of Dukes, Kornhulio, Neon or the rest of the "scream at you" knuckleheads they actually pay to :thumbup: at us. I did have a good laugh at the teeny boppers they trotted out there in color coded T shirts... that was funny.

 
Really not much use in complaining about it. It would be nice for grown up dudes like us - their core fan base - to get somebody cool and respectable like Kings of Leon in there for a kickass halftime show, but... halftime shows, especially at Thanksgiving, aren't for us. Never were, never will be. It's all about amusing the casual family viewing public, and more importantly, making easy money from the Disneys of the world.

Like I said before, I'm just happy they've put some decent acts in for Super Bowl halftime. We can thank Janet and Justin for that. Tom Petty only gets a halftime show because gimmicky top 40 artists can't help but do stupid crap.

 
What about the National Anthem before the Cowboys/'Hawks game? Demi Levato from Camp Rock with who? The Jonas Brothers!

Does the NFL really think that getting Disney Rock is going to increase their viewership?

And talk about a horrible National Anthem...Before the Detroit game was pretty bad

We watched the halftime shows and the Demi Lovato national anthem at my house. They actually drew a bigger crowd around the tv than the games. The Jonas Brothers were the most popular.

 
Never heard of them before tonight. I should have skipped the game if this is what America considers talent.

 
I'm pretty sure that this band is of the variety where 9-14 year old girls are into so i'm not sure who thought that would be a good target audience. On the other hand I don't watch halftime shows so if some people were entertained then more power to them, it was probaly a thrill for some kids out there and Green Day and the Rolling Stones likely declined to perform at halftime.

Instead of complaining, get up and move around a bit for the 4 minutes and 20 seconds.

We have a winner.Half time isn't for "us" when it comes to these games. Maybe if the (first two) games had been more watchable this would be a non issue?
