Wow.. VOCAL COACH STAT.

I know they are not vocalists, however....come on.

I was just praising Stacie about her vocals back in the day when she was with Wild Orchid; but it seem like she was slipping on a couple notes. They exaecuated the visual great...but the harmonizing was terrible....

I wished Usher stayed on stage

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!

eek By your post one would think both are dead; last time I check Axel Rose is still alive!?!? confused

Certain part of their vocals were good, other parts...hhhhmmm. All those people in the stands must have made them nervous. I wonder what would they say to each other if they watch a recording of their performance? lol

So this is what pop music has become now?

I couldn't watch the whole show, it made me sad. All singers who can't sing.

There was nothing fun, nothing wild about it.

It's really sad

20 years ago, they would have been boooed from the stage.

Awful. Some interesting visual things, but let's face it: none of them can sing, in particular Fergie. She's just dreadful.

I loved the choreography and all the lights, loved all the razzle dazzle. The energy was good. However, something was off with their mic's the whole time. Only Will.I.AM's mic seemed to be working. I could barely hear the others. It was really awful. Now the few times I could hear the others, Fergie in particular, it sounded like she was trying to oversing. I wasn't impressed.

It was just okay for me.

I didn't bother watching the Half-Time show. The Superbowl itself, either.

The only Black-Eyed Peas songs I've ever liked were "Let's Get it Started" and "Hey Mama".

They've always kinda...bored me.

It looked like Tron at the Superbowl. I did like the lights and dancers. Though...Fergie messed up those notes big time. I almost had to put it on mute to watch it.

Fergie butchering "Sweet Child O'Mine" disbelief

Slash should've been turned up and done a long-ass solo a la 1995 MTV VMA's - 15 years ago but still legendary!

Even Usher couldn't save them, thank heavens he was only on briefly - I ain't an Usher fan but if this was his show, it would've probably been A LOT better than this dross...

In short, this was a God-awful halftime show, but then again after Prince a few years ago, it was always gonna be hard to beat (Kool-aid free).

'dre

As far as I'm concerned, unless Prince is performing in the halftime show, there's no reason to watch the show or even the game at all....unless the players are playing in the nude. In honor of the occassion though, I did watch a group of men play with balls last night.....on a gay porn site on the internet. lol

To be honest i really dont like any superbowl performance, they are overblown, alot of times have pre-recorded music and vocals, backing tracks, plus the camera work is terrible on it, and honestly is nothing but boring grandstanding, and YES i am including Prince's performance in this too, i thought he was off quite a bit with is performance, his choices of doing 2 covers was POOR, and the band sounded very very weak.

The ceremony those people put on is probably the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life. But then, to the chinese I don't think failure was an option!

the staging, costumes, and LED lighting was incredible.

Overall, it was entertaining.

I love when they did the running man.

Maybe it's unfair to compare any show to that one. But I was watching all those dancers thinking "they're not even close to being in synch"
