What I mean is hasn't Prince eaten a mic or two while performing with that damn stand?

I was impressed with the mircobatics that Justin displayed at the superbowl.

I'm almost certain Prince would've been impressed too.

Let us know when Justin does something like this.

Ok ok, you guys got me.

I stand corrected.

As for the trick micstand theory I never thought of that.

If that's the case then yeah it'd be WAY easier!

I'm just more charitable in my old age.

I know the performance was missing something, but I didn't flat out hate it like people are pretending.

It was bound to happen and we all called it; They've run out of people to perform. After all these "up the ante" years of Superbowl performances it was only a matter of time before this happened.

But it's better than what Whoopie Goldberg suggested (A third year of Bruno Mars). Or what those other View clowns suggested (The Despisito guys!).

Wow. Some of these comments make me ashamed to be an old Prince fan. Been a fan since the early 80's and I have nothing bad to say about JT. He's had a fine career and has grown with each record. Not bad on the keys or guitar either. It's pop music. It is good for what it is. I view him the same way I view Bruno Mars , D'angelo, Santigold, or Portugal the Man, or any other pop act. If the songs are good great. If they can put on a decent live show (JT can) even better. If they have one foot planted firmly in the classics, even better still. Why hate on these guys? Why make it a black or white issue? Why beat up on every new act that comes down the pike from The Weekend and Kendrik to JT or Sam Smith ? Everyone knows JT is no Prince or MJ. No one ever said he was.

Why "make it a black or white issue"? Wow, I don't know what's worse, deliberate venom or willfull ignorance. Do you not recall the 2004 Superbowl? His questionable comments about race? His disrespect towards Prince?!?! Oh that's right, this is the Org where it's okay to deny racism and to diminish Prince's legacy on a routine basis....

Somebody "stoled" Justin's Suit & Tie!!! Up there lookin' like a long lost "Duck Dynasty" Relative, or an extra from "The Walking Dead"!!!

exactly Duck Dynasty!!! I was shocked to find out he was wearing Stella McCartney!

And yeah, I didn't like how it seemed like he was just pacing around while someone backstage hit skip on a CD called Justin Timberlake The Complete Singles Collection.

I’m sure they could have found someone else. But then again I’m someone who thinks Prince had more talent in his pinky finger than MJ in his whole body so...

Without Michael you'd never have heard of Janet. She owes her success to her family name. I'm not saying she didn't have any good songs in her own right, but if she wasn't a Jackson nobody would care.

If that were the case, all the Jacksons would have huge careers and be remembered individually for their success.

Sound reasoning.

Extending that reasoning, without the Jackson 5, you never would have heard of Michael, so the only special thing about Michael is that he was a member of the Jackson 5 and (insert brother's name here) younger brother.

Emma, that doesn't make much sense.

They did.

They had Cherelle. Klymaxx. The SOS Band and a stable of great acts in Flyte Tyme in the early to mid 1980's. They made great songs.

It was only when Janet came along that they rose to superstardom as producers.

I have never been a JT fan until NOW! The comments and blame game that I have read on this forum and elsewhere has turned me into a fan. I have a family member who is a huge Justin fan. All of this negativity toward him has had the opposite effect and turned me into a fan. I’ve never bought anything Justin; however, I will be purchasing this album. Since my family member has been trying for years to get me to attend one of Justin’s concerts, says he is exceptional in concert, I think I will go to a concert this time.

Go enjoy yourself.

Emma, that doesn't make much sense.

And extending that FURTHER, without Joseph Jackson you'd never hear of any of them. Jesus Christ, it's almost as if some people deliberately misinterpret what others say just so they can "win" the argument. I'll make it easier for you all. You're right, I'm wrong. Janet Jackson is a legend and a bastion of musical genius and is single handedly responsibile for the civil rights movement and women getting the vote.

You took an extreme position in the first place, which I found odd coming from you.

Everybody's entitled to their opinion, but not to let it go unchallenged.

That's all.

Yes, if not for the Prince tribute it would have been quite unmemorable indeed. Dirty Jan popping her boobie at the last shindig still hung over him too, in all her irrelevancy she's still trolling him

No idea who the audience was he was targeting.

Or what the N-Sync or whatever choreography features were about.

Bizarre to see a middle-aged-dude doing that in that way.

Feeling lost.

Hopefully, some people loved it and are really excited, just like Prince dorks used to be about his stuff.

Is 37 really considered "middle-aged"?

Maybe to a 15 year old...

The best half-time show ever!!

If Prince had lip synced Doves Cry, did Little Red Corvette lip syncing with Madonna, covered Milli Vanilli and Kajagoogoo, and closed with A Song of The Heart before taking selfies with space aliens it would still have been more entertaining than the Timberlake performance.

was there any surprise.....lolll

I didn't even watch it and still aint seen it because I know what's up.....

The Super Bowl hasn't morphed from a sporting event into an entertainment spectacle

what they need to do is scrap this current format of having professional entertainers perform and have local perfomers in the ciy that's hosting the game be signed on, a local high school/college marching band and then have some actual halftime commentary about the first have of the football game

and it's gonna be lame again next year and the year after that
