Once again, the stars of the pop, rap & r'n'b world showed us that they could dance their asses of, BUT when it came to the music it was Kid Rock who showed the world that rock 'n' roll is still and always will be KING of all music genres.
Most of you may not want to admit that, but come on, he actually performed LIVE, the rest was all lip sync (and pretty bad lip synching too (Nelly you blowed the worst)). It was a nice spectacle, but the KID should have been the centerpiece, he can do it all, and he can do it LIVE.

he was lip synching too

I think he was too. And what happened to yourJoyce pic. Have you missed all the Joyce related activities around here?

Kid Rock was lip synching, too. And I'm a HUGE rock fan, but Kid Rock is hardly at the top of the genre.

Kid Rock is an embarassment to music.

Kid Rock More like Kid Hype. I didn't like any of it. Janet was visually slammin' but man.. let's go forward with the music already. Justin looked like his luggage didn't make it off the plane with him. And P-Diddy.. Nelly.. it should have been DJ Premier or EPMD. That's Hip-Hop.

I'm telling you, he wasn't. And if he was, it damn sure wasn't as obvious as the others. At least he's about the music, not the image. And that is that.

lyricsdaddy said:

Um.. coming onstage with a US flag draped around you is not about the music. It was a guarantee that the crowd would go nuts.

lyricsdaddy said:

If he's about the music then so is P Diddy and Nelly.

got bored with it... i am an avatar whore

Either Kid Rock wasn't lipsyching, or they did a great job prerecording a live version. Alot of the back and forth spittin' was right on queue and the lyrics were changed to reflect how he was "rocking the Super Bowl" I believe.

Yeah...EVERYBODY except Rock lipsynched that one. Well, Toby Keith and Aerosmith sang live too.

American rock sux.

so does British rock.

sorry.

Kid Rock sux...Janet kicked ass and Nelly looked tasty!

That would be too much like right.

lyricsdaddy said:

And from this side, Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, John Coltrane and Thelonious Monk, among others, showed the world decades ago that jazz is the supreme form of American music. Rock wouldn't sound the way it does today without jazz.

This thread is hilarious.

If you're going to go that far back, you picked the wrong form of music, it was the BLUES, not jazz, that made rock what it is today

lyricsdaddy said:

Yeah, you're right. But Kid Rock is turd on legs.

Kid Rock has had one hit...and he lip-syncd it last night...again!!! Maybe he's had other "hits" but...maybe because he was in TEXAS last night?!?! And P.Diddy..(or whatever he calls himself nowadays) said/rapped all of 5 words last night. What is so great about that?! I don't get it...

All of the music last night sucked.

Kid Rock would Nelly if he had the chance

lyricsdaddy said:

Right on blues. And dead wrong on jazz. The influence of jazz on the improvisational, solo-driven nature of rock music is impossible to ignore if you're familiar with the genre.

I never said jazz was rock's sole influence. But as I see it, it's kind of hard to argue with the last sentence of my post.

Kid Rock was an embarrasement because I'm from Detroit.

For the record the city is not completely rednecks/trailer dwellers but you wouldn't know it from this artist.

What's worse is that he's singing songs from 5 years ago, WTF?

You must be kidding! Everybody's set sucked ass. KR's only redeeming feature was that he at least came out with a full band and not a bunch of unnecessary steppers nd rappers and tape machines. Woulda got some cred if he actually played his freakin' guitar. thw whole song or bang a piano. Somethin' more musical than that caterwauling screech.

OH and it's blues that rock grew from; not jazz. The two forms are different.

You guys are misreading or reading too much into the actual post. I never said jazz was rock's seminal influence. I said that jazz, with its improvisations and solo-driven nature, influenced the sound of rock. If you think differently, fine, but I'd disagree.
