kenfxj Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Eh. She has some catchy, if somewhat disposable, pop tunes. Could be worse. I've only been inspired to watch three of the last ten halftime shows. This will make it three of eleven. I'm sure the wife and daughters will watch. I'll spend halftime in my private reading room.

hurricane hugo Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 1. At least they've picked someone used to lip-syncing in her live shows. 2. I liked her 1st album and loved her 2nd. The latest is pure garbage, though. 3. What does the Super Bowl have against pop-country/bro-country? http://blip.fm/invite/WorkRelease Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcadmus Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Do the people who pick the half-time entertainers actually watch football and know who the fans are? I've resolved that for that 15 minutes of my life I'm going to do something else instead.

Nicklab Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Eh. I find myself caring less and less about the NFL these days. The domestic abuse scandal really cast the league in a poor light. Then the NFL wanted to charge the artists who were considered for the halftime show. The only part of me that has any interest in the Super Bowl broadcast is the fact that I work in broadcasting, and it's the single most watched live event every year. So from a business standpoint I have some measure of interest. But that's really where it ends.

kenfxj Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Big sporting events like the Super Bowl and the Olympics aren't programmed for sports fans. They know we'll watch anyway. Push the button Frank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremy c Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I think they want to get the non-sports fans to watch the super duper hype bowl. The sports fans will watch it no matter who the halftime act is. Free download of my cd!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

butcherNburn Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Does it really matter? Even on the occasion that there is someone I would like to see it's far from good. I don't necessarily blame the "artist" for that either, it's the situation. If I do watch the halftime show I am usually hoping for the most fabulous disaster that doesn't actually injure someone. To be honest, I'd rather watch a 15 minute documentary on how all the people involved pulled off the show logistically. Setting up, tearing down and one of the most watched performances of the year in such a short amount of time is impressive on it's own. If you think my playing is bad, you should hear me sing!

Imogene Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I think its marketing. Not enough 14-16 year old girls watching football apparently. That's a huge demographic and they all have smart phones. Bingo! Sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenfxj Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 It screws up the players a bit too. They've played their whole lives with a 15 minute halftime, they have their routines, they're all warmed up. Now you ask them to pretty much sit there for an extra 15-20 minutes they don't like it. But alas, the Super Bowl isn't really about football and football players anymore, not to the league office at least. Push the button Frank.

I have pretty much quit watching football. I prefer hockey. Football hasn't been about football for a long time. The NFL exists to facilitate fantasy leagues.

Imogene Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I love football. The NFL is filled with almost super human talent. I'm a fan. But like most others here, couldn't care less about this superbowl half-time. There will be no other games that day high lighted at half-time. No Strahan, Bradshaw, Long or Dungy. There will be just another bubble gum pop machine pushing pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul K Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Well, the Stones one year, the Chili Peppers another year, and Bruno Mars another year aren't bubble gum pop bands. And Sting. Don't forget Sting. The Stingmeister rocked it. I stopped watching football about a year or two before the concussion syndrome thing first hit the news after I attended a continuing education class on MRI's, brain trauma, and M.S. It was a "stunning" lecture; I remember it like it was yesterday. Things are just the way they are, and they're only going to get worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imogene Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Yeah and I remember Paul McCartney, Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen too. Not BBgum pop.
