THEY BLEW!!! They should have studied MJ, Janet and Prince's SB halftime shows before they attempted to go out there.

The LOOKED cool...but sounded horrible. Didn't come close to Prince's...his half time show was by far the best ever. U2 & Springsteen were great oo.

Usher could have been a show by himself, not a BEP groupie.

I say put Kanye, John Mayer, and Diddy and have a toast to the talented douchebags.

But they sucked.

They sucked hard.

They were really, really terrible. In all respects.

The fact that they had to resort to a COVER with the only musicianship of the show provided by someone else in Slash for a 10-minute slot shows how bankrupt of ideas and talent they are.

Now wait a minute. no no no! I'm not going to defend the musical chops of the Black Eyed Peas, but The Rolling Stones halftime show was worse than this. And there were worse halftime shows back in the late 1990s. Most of the people dissing this show probably aren't fans of current artists anyway, so no discussion of the positive aspects of the performance will convince them otherwise.

Okay.. I thought last year was the most boring Halftime show ever!!!!

No offence to Sprinstein but he is boring as hell...

Now while BEP is not exactly phenomenal, their show is a vast improvement from the snoozefest from last year. Fergie sound like she was a cat in heat but they did their thing. It was fun!

I will say, though, that if this is what it takes for there to be a massive BEP backlash, a la Ashlee Simpson, I'm all for it. evillol

I don't know about you, but I got a feeling I never what to hear that damn song ever again. And hell, I wrote better song lyrics than, "Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. And do it. And do it. And do it" when I was in junior high.

Why the fuck were half the songs they sang covers??? Don't they have enough hits? I know Prince's Halftime Set had a bunch of covers, but at least he didn't butcher them!

Patrick Swayze and Axel Rose are rolling over in their graves!

JERKIN' EVERYTHING IN SIGHT!!!!!

True, last year it was boring as hell.

I do give credit to the Black Eyed Peas for at least keeping the entertainment factor, although their singing was an entirely different story. Still the futuristic look and presentation was cool.

I think they've turned into what they criticized here. They've "fallin down" below sea level. lol It's odd that a lot of their 1990's stuff seems to be talking about the present day group. biggrin

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

I was impressed that they had the most people dancing out of synch that i have ever seen!

What the fuck, it was a lot of flash, and absolutely nothing behind it. PERHAPS entertaing to see the spectacle in person, that is the best I can say about it.

It takes me back to Janet's halftime show, thoughout which I kept thinking "this is the worst shit of all time" And that was forgotten among the backlash.

Are these really the best entertainers we can come up with?!

Without kissing Prince's ass, he did the best job I can recall. Not because I was amazed, but because it simply did not suck! It's either dull old rocker, or a musically devoid pop/R&B performance. Prince is the only one to make actual music and not be boring. Bruce came close, but his singing was a bit off.

The only thing worse than them was Usher. What the hell was he doing there for 5 seconds?

A good half of it was taken from someone else--G&R, Dirty Dancing, and the surf guitar song
