Worst halftime show ever? (5 Viewers)

[Football Critic]

If you dont like the sound of good music, then it was an ok show.

BEP plays zero instruments, so to me they dont make the music the computer does, and that means your are not a musician.

Lyrics in their songs seem like they are aimed towards the immature, and how great can you really be if you repeat "I gotta feeling tonights gonna be a good night" over and over.

Also their voices were horrible, if you dont perform well live, you have no right to try to do the halftime show.

The people who think it was a good show, remind me of the people who think they can sing on American Idol, even tho the judges disagree.

Also these guys gave us... "Shut Up", "Boom Boom Pow", "My Humps", "Don't Phunk with My Heart" and their latest "The Time (Dirty Bit)" all great songs with great lyrics.

Mid 30's here

Basically, BEP's were exposed last night. Needed to bring Usher and Slash to liven things up, bc they really don't have much original material-and the stuff they do have, it's manufactured and been fabricated already. What instruments do they play? As other posters have mentioned, it's entertainment

That's todays music world though. Bass, some beats, some mid 80's refrains, rolled into a collaboration, and it's a hit song.

My kids loved it....4 and 6.

Clearly not everyone is going to agree on the music. I think we could all agree that nobody watches the superbowl for the halftime show.I would love to see the NFL sponsor regional high school marching band competitions, with the winners of each regional performing at the Super Bowl in competition there.

This might be the worst idea I have heard. I've watched marching bands at halftime shows through high school and college, and they're so bloody boring. It's getting to be the same thing done over and over. If I have to listen to a Lady GaGa song at a football game, I would rather she be the one singing it, rather than some 15 year olds playing it with band instruments...

But visually, can you honestly say it wasn't amazing? The stage, all the people with the neon things around it, the lighting -> all exceptional and I thought great to watch.Sounds like another old-timer...

 

[Sam Quentin]

hmm, didn't realize this thread was full of a bunch of old guys. Thought the show was much much better then years past. Just because it is new sounding music doesn't make it bad. The lighted people around the stag was crazy. So much moving and so much stuff going on. Someone took allot time and effort on it. I hope from now on the NFL will keep up with current artists.

I thought the theatrics were entertaining, but They can't rap, outside of Fergie, they can't sing, the sound was terrible...embarrassing.I'd have rather seen Justin Beiber and Lady GaGa

Lyrics in their songs seem like they are aimed towards the immature, and how great can you really be if you repeat "I gotta feeling tonights gonna be a good night" over and over. Lots of bands have stupid lyrics. Name a relevant band for me and I'll point out to you some of their dumb lyrics. And repition is nothing new....some of the "greatest bands ever" are excrusiatingly repetitious. Listen to Love in an Elevator by Aerosmith sometime....you'll want to blow your head off.

Also their voices were horrible, if you dont perform well live, you have no right to try to do the halftime show. Some of the best bands have sounded brutally bad live....especially at that kind of an event.

The people who think it was a good show, remind me of the people who think they can sing on American Idol, even tho the judges disagree. It was a visually good show if nothing else. It was entertaining.

Also these guys gave us... "Shut Up", "Boom Boom Pow", "My Humps", "Don't Phunk with My Heart" and their latest "The Time (Dirty Bit)" all great songs with great lyrics. Easy music to dance to. It's meant to be fun, that's all. Relax a bit.

 

[thriftyrocker]

It's music for commercials. They are writing it so it can be cut down to 20 seconds so you feel like you heard the whole songs. It's part of their genius because that's a main way musicians make any money these days. I thought it'd be perfect for the halftimecrapfest (very medley-friendly) but was disappointed they didn't pull it off better. Bad sound, bad vocal performance, technical difficulties. Probably would have been better if they did pre-record everything. I'm actually surprised they didn't. I am not sure BEP is really relevant. They are a pop band who were popular 6 or 7 years ago, well past their expiration date.

 

[ffldrew]

I can't understand why they don't get the Foo Fighters - Times Like These, Learn to Fly, My Hero, Monkeywrench,The Pretender, Everlong - would kill - And Dave Grohl screaming would be awesome. They play the largest stadiums in the world so they know what it takes.

 

[Amused to Death]

I'm older then the target audience of the BEP, but I thought they were a good choice. However the performance was bad and kinda proved what I think of the current generation of top 40 music; looks and dance moves first, actual talent and musical ability second. Music studios can do wonders to even the worst voices.

 

[theplayer11]

most of today's youth don't understand what music is supposed to be. You know, like actual instruments.

I muted the half time show after a few words, it was bad.

I'm not a HUGE Foo Fighters fan, but this is a good suggestion. They fit the bill for the situation, are widely liked and respected, very strong live, Grohl is charismatic and could pull it off, they aren't too old or too new.

What are you talking about? I'm no fan but The E.N.D. which came out in 2009 was nominated for Album of the Year Grammy and it won the Best Pop Vocal Album Grammy in 2010. And they came out with The Beginning in 2010. They are quite relevant.

 

[scrumptrulescent]

Why is it supposed to be like that? Because you say so?

 

[LargeMouthBass]

Half time show is not a concert. I love Eric Clapton or what not but I wouldn't want to hear him during the Super Bowl. Who gives #### if performers do not play any instruments? Now I understand why most of my friends didn't play fantasy football before I brought them in. Basically, many geeks and nerds play this crap...

 

[CletiusMaximus]

I pulled the ultimate old fogey moved last night - at home with just me and my 6 year old son, I was about 30 minutes behind live at the end of the half and fast forwarded the entire halftime, went straight to the second half kickoff. I was very nervous and had no interest in anything that was being shown during the break.

btw - for some historical reference (as to the "worst ever" claim), remember that the Superbowl halftime show really was just a college marching band performing until the late 80's/early 90s. I think Michael Jackson's show in the early 90's was the first real big act. Before then, I think "Up With People" (not even a band) was the featured entertainment for four Superbowl halftimes.

Correct (I looked it up earlier). His appearance was the first ratings explosion for the SB and made the game much more than just the NFL Championship.

 

[Jack Burton]

NFL you gotta have a Rock band or else it will suck.

Its the only way to go. picking the Black Eyed Peas for half time entertainment is a very poor decision. They belong on a music award show.

 

[Andrew Garda]

Meh I don't happen to love the BEP but I don't know how much you can do with that set up. Fergie sounded terrible and half the time I thought they were doing covers.... but the Tron look was fun and overall it was no worse than anything else they've done of late.

BEP is a safe 'hip hop' act basically where the NFL can feel a little hip but know that nothing shocking or horrible will take place. Nobody's throwing Ludacris or Jay Z up there any more than you'll see... crap are there relevant metal bands anymore?

Sound was awful though.

Point being, it is what it is and the sound guy needs to have ice from the Dallas stadium roof dropped on him.

 

[Neil Beaufort Zod]

This thread sounds like it has a lot of older people trying to sound "hip" by saying how much they liked those gosh darn Black Eyed Peas. In an effort to sound relevant yourself, you're defending a rotten performance and you don't even know it.

I like them, and that performance was rancid. Low energy, poor signing and terrible sound engineering. They're studio artists. It doesn't translate live.

I disagree with the first half of your assertion but agree with the second half.......or am I just trying to look hip? ps - half the thread is alleged young folks saying the alleged old folks 'don't get it' b/c they're old and alleged old folks saying alleged young folks 'don't get it because they can't understand good music'. I don't know which is which but it's very entertaining - not neon green suit entertaining....

Visually it was ok, but those lights can of been with any show mostly...and no not an old timer, just an unbias person with an opinion.

Obviously you like the BEP since you had a remark for every statement of mine, lol, thats fair as it is an opinion.Your right, a voice is an instrument, and you validate my coment that the BEP do not play instruments as they can't sing.

Stupid lyrics - Your defending "My Humps?", well if we will have to agree to disagree here.

Nice defense with the "Lots of People suck" remark...that does not make a horrible performance ok.

Just visually entertaining isnt good enough for the halftime show of the most watched event of the year.

If you were listening fairly, you can see the issue with the show last night, if your a BEP fan, or just like that type of music you may be bias.

The entire visual of the halftime show is what I thought was good. It's live at the SB, there have been many cruddy performances before them. I wasn't critiquing their vocals that hard.

I actually don't care all that much for them at all. Don't mind poppy music sometimes though.You stated that BEP doesn't play instruments a computer does, therefore they were not musicians. It had nothing to do with how they sang last night.

I'm not defending My Humps at all. Just stating that you could pick apart lyrics from any band. I don't think BET claims to be amazing lyricists.

It was entertainment. Nothing more. I don't disagree that it sounded bad, but it wasn't that bad to watch imo.

The previous 3 before this have been brutal in my opinion. Stop throwing old rockers at us. It's boring.

 

[DoubleG]

This thread is hilarious. -Crotchety old men who think anything after the early 70's stinks.-Guys begging for old headbanging bands that haven't been relevant for 20 years.-Name droppers who want more obscure bands that the masses haven't even heard of.-Tough guys who say it was wrong for BEP to be on stage but Fergie was hot and should have taken clothes off.It's a SB halftime show. It's entertainment only....not supposed to be a concert. It needs to be more visualy fun than anything else....which this was.

I'm 40 - my sister is 30 - my brothers both in their late 30's - all of us have kids ranging from 1-15. The halftime show was liked by all.Was it great? No. Was it fun, entertaining and visually pleasing? Most definately.ETA: In answer to the original question - No, it was not even close to the worst half time show ever. It was much better than watching 65+ year olds wander around the stage singing (trying to sing?) 3 minute+ songs from 30 years ago.

 

[GroveDiesel]

I can't understand why they don't get the Foo Fighters - Times Like These, Learn to Fly, My Hero, Monkeywrench,The Pretender, Everlong - would kill - And Dave Grohl screaming would be awesome. They play the largest stadiums in the world so they know what it takes.

Exactly who I would like to see.

And I think it's a joke that the younger posters here seem to think that the "older" crowd is just out of touch. No, we just know sucky music. And the BEP suck. Especially live. Nobody here would have ever clamored for Third Eye Blind. They were a very good studio band, but they absolutely SUCKED live.

There are plenty of current artists that are popular with younger people that would have been excellent choices. Beyonce & Jay-Z would be awesome. If you want to get super current, Taio Cruz would be an excellent Super Bowl act. Linkin Park would be a half decent choice too.

I would imagine that these would be a lot less likely, but there are several really awesome Christian rock groups right now that have some great stadium rock type songs that I wouldn't think would offend anyone either.

all would really rock in a halftime concert.

 

[Cenobite]

Judging from the responses, I am older than most. I have no problem with BEP performing. They've been around and have had some major hits for a number of years. I'm just glad that they don't select someone relatively new and give them the honor of performing at the SB. So far, the half time shows could have been far worse than what we've seen/heard.

 

[KiddLattimer]

They're studio artists. It doesn't translate live.

I like most BEP songs but they were just a bad idea for a short set. They would be better off lip sinking to it than doing the terrible job that they did. BEP sucked, The Who sucked... can we just have Tom Petty just do it every year?

 

[Raiderfan32904]

The halftime show was never for us guys. It was always for the women and little girls that put up with us guys drinking and going crazy over every play. It’s their time to let off some steam. At the party I was at, we all watched in the garage on a projector screen while the women and girls had their home version of “The View” in the kitchen while the game was mostly ignored in the living room.

But when the Black Eyed Peas came on, the girls in the living room were having a pajama party sing-a-long and whooping it up, while the guys were kicking back and throwing down some Buds and eating Doritos. So for those who complain, remember that you aren’t the target audience.

 

[Debeucci]

It'll never happen because they're british and the rednecks will throw a fit...

but MUSE would be the perfect superbowl halftime act...

 

[Debeucci]

Studio artists

Old timers, get with it. The BEP are what music is all about in the 2000's. Just because in your days it was a bunch of grown men with long hair rockin electric quitars doesnt mean it still holds. Todays music is BEP and Usher, and as much as you dont like it, music is shifting towards the entertainment aspect and not just guitar riffs and good lyrics.

Wait...did you just imply that BEP and Usher has good lyrics?I'm in my mid thirties, so I guess I'm an old fart, but popular music that you hear on the radio these days has gone to hell in a handbasket.

Ladyhump...seriously? Let me take random words tha rhyme and stick them together. See, this is what happens when we stop funding education in this country and start babysitting our kids too much way into their teens.

 

[gandalas]

Meh...I was entertained.

I don't watch it for a great musical performance...there is no way that those conditions would ever make it possible, but I was entertained (while trying to figure out who the heck the guy with the light-up suit was...I thought there were only 3 members in the Black Eyed Peas?)

see how it says shifting TOWARDS the entertainment aspect and not the guitar riffs and good lyrics? That is implying that it ISNT about the lyrics anymore. And as I agree that most of the lyrics are the dumbest things ever, some of the artist are very clever at making a play on words.

 

[bonesman]

Anyone remember the BEPs before they had commercial success (or Fergie)?

They were one of the few hiphop acts (along w/ the Roots) that performed with a live band.

They had songs w/ some pretty deep and positive meaning (for hip hop)... like this one:

I actually bought their first album in the late 90s... now I can barely listen to their crap.

 

[Sam Quentin]

This thread has a lot of younger guys attributing the lack of musical ability on display last night to a bunch of old guys. The SB has had "current" pop acts on before, and the "old guys" have not leveled this much criticism.

They flat-out sucked yesterday.

 

[Debeucci]

Performance aside...it's kind of a disturbing trend in music, especially the past few years. I can't stomach a lot of the stuff they play anymore on the radio. I think it was last week, there was some song about macaronni and cheese...really?

And one of the supposed biggest stars is named Ke$ha. Yes...she has a dollar sign through her name.

Bah, whatever...screw these whippersnappers. Let me go get my cane.

 

[Northbound Train]

Do you get paid to be a little #####

 

[Ghost Rider]

They should just go ahead and book Muse for the next year Super Bowl right now. Their popularity is rising by the day, they are spectacular live, and they would bring the house down. NFL, make it happen.

 

[qimqam]

Thought it would be terrible ... Turned out to be one of the best I can remember.

I can't think of any that were any good ... Would have been better without the talentless Usher.

Bye the way ... I had no idea which one of the 5 or 6 black guys in white outfits was Usher

 

[patrickmcgroin]

[The Moz]

Doesn't Axyl own the rights to GnR songs? If so I would be shocked if he doesn't sue Slash for butchering the song having Fergie do it.

Woud of been great if the HT show was a GnR reunion though

 

[KentGraham10]

Everyone at my Super Bowl party thought it was terrible, ages 13 - 50. I'm 20 myself and I actually preferred the older bands that played recently over BEP. Don't get me wrong I don't mind listening to BEP, its not about their music, its about their execution at a half time show. They should probably concentrate on bands that are still successful who put on great live shows. They have a year to find one, hope it works out.

For halftime, you could always go back outside and yell at kids to get off your lawn for 20 minutes.

Marching bands bore me too, but I'd be happy to see the Stanford one do whatever they wanted for the Super Bowl. I'm sure they'd come up with something more entertaining than whatever happened last night.

 

[Hybrid]

Not liking a performance inherently makes you an old timer? I'm 20, so I guess I have an old soul? The "music" was terrible. The visuals are good just about every year. Everyone at our college Super Bowl party thought they were just awful.

If you want to see a good performance, watch Prince's a couple years back. He proves that you can sound good in a large stadium, so stop using that as an excuse.

With that said, even though I love them, The Who and The Rolling Stones have been pretty terrible the last couple of years as well. Why can't we get a band or artist that actually sounds good live? I like the ACDC and Foo Fighters suggestions. Carrie Underwood isn't a bad idea, since she can actually sing.

And to all the young folks - please stop criticizing the "old farts." Frankly, it's embarrassing and disrespectful.

 

[theplayer11]

anyone see the youtube video of the 2 kids that made a "hit" pop song in 8 hours? I guess they used what is popular now, half rap, some chorus and

it sounds pretty good(if you like that crap). Point is, they aren't talented, know there aren't, but just wanted to prove how easy it was.

Today's pop is computer made and vocals enhanced...it's all about looks and show, very little talent.

[Jules Winnfield]

I honestly enjoyed it... Not sure about all the hate.. Some people just love to hate and I feel sad 4 u.

Not true.If you honestly think that Fergie singing Sweet Child o' Mine was good then you're quite young and can't realize it when crap it on the screen. Then again I see how you used a 4 for for and I gotta be sure that you must be a teen or in your 20s

 

[MNTom]

Thought it was pretty good. Much better than dragging out a bunch of old as dirt rock bands which they've been doing lately. This was entertaining and at least The Black Eyed Peas are relevant in 2011.

The top two tours of 2010 were Bon Jovi and AC/DC. I would say that the "old" rock bands still have relevance.
