So, was anyone else disgusted by how terrible the Black Eyed Peas were? Slash was the best part, but Fergie pretty much ruined that too lol.

Yeah...I tried to avoid it at all costs but my daughter wanted to see the show.... hearing THE riffs form "sweet child o mine" and seeing Slash emerg caugh my attention but it all quickly vanished with Fergie's rendition of the song! And Usher you freaking kidding me what are the demographics of people who watch NFL football.. I want a Led Zeppelin or Ac/Dc halftime show...:D

By far the worst halftime show I can remember.
I'm not a peas fan, but nor am I a Prince fan. Yet I thought Prince was one of best shows in memory.
Fergie is nice to look at, but her voice was horrible.
It was the first time I was wishing for the use of a harmonizer.

I too thought it was terrible, but then I didn't expect much from the black eyed peas to begin with. I also thought Slash was the best part of the show.

Ugggh I have no idea how anyone can find Fergie attractive - just a nasty lookin Ho-Bag IMO... And her Voice Sucks @$$.

And its pretty easy to tell how much editting and dubbing all their albums get with the way they sound live... AWFUL !!!!

Although I have to say, I love to play Boom Boom Pow on my main system - the bass in there is ridonculous... :eek:

This is worse than Jackson/Timberlake or Prince with the phalic guitar?

I believe they have auto tone built into the mic's nowadays for most hip-hop and pop artists.

Music isn't what it was 30-40 years ago (*I'm 38).

Dreadful show.
I too was hopeful when I heard the opening riff of "Sweet..." but then Fergie opened her mouth and ruined it. Her hip swishing copy was weak as well.

Over dubbed/electronic music = CAN'T SING ! ! !

Audio was all F'd up...sound engineer?...sound testing?...

I couldn't watch the whole show. Watched a dvr'd show for a bit then back to the game. I dvr'd the game and started the show 30 minutes in...fast forward through most of the commercials...they were not that good this year...thank the electronic gods for fast forward and the dvr.

I would not miss it if there were no more half time shows.

Not a fan of his but the Prince show was...:cool:. I did prefer the first half show...however the second half show had me a little concerned but in the end...happy that the PACKERS WON and Aaron Rodgers as the MVP..:)..

BTW...how did it all look on your new plasma...:)

Come to think of it the BEP played a Grey Cup halftime show in Edmonton(I believe:eek:) in the winter no less and they sounded awful...I guess it wasn't due to the cold after all...:D.

I got up to the point (wincing the whole time) where slash started playing and heard "Awwwwoawww sweet child....." . Said aloud "STFU ***** your ruining a good song"......then went and played video games for the remainder of the half time show.



Oh and for the anthem...
Your a ******* professional performer.....even if your not patriotic enough to know your countries national anthem by heart at least rehearse the song so you know the ******* words

Ditto on the crappy half-time show. I gave up and went and packed my suitcase for my travel today. When I left the room, my tone-deaf 5 year old was dancing away to it. But I consider that a good thing so the monster would get worn out!

But the Packers won! Yeah! So now I sit in the Minneapolis airport wearing my "G" hat waiting for my connecting flight. But Green Bay wins!

All the money Jerry spent on Jerry World and people got kicked out the seats, people got hurt by falling snow and ice, 40% of the entrances were closed due to the falling ice and snow, the half-time show sucked, and celebrities attending couldn't tell you who was playing. Maybe we need to skip hosting the biggest game at the Jerry Worlds and some place where real fans can attend and would attend like Lambeau Field or Soldier's Field. No problem with snow or ice, thousands of volunteers would clear that up in a couple of hours. That and the locals know how to drive in 3 inches of snow.

Their sound crew should be fired, and never allowed to work in the music industry ever again.

The 1/2 time show was terrible. I'm also getting a bit tired of hearing professionals screwing up The Star Spangled Banner. Who the **** is responsible for picking these people/acts? At least they didn't have Cher with her droopers.

Every performer has a bad day but there was so much wrong in that performance it was mind boggling!:eek:

Good thing it's not my kind of music...I can laugh about it.:D

This is what amazed me. All I could think of was Jamie2112 either laughing or crying over how screwed up the production was.

That would be my comment, too.
The show wasn't that bad. The lighting effects on the people was interesting and the floor setup was good. It was as if every remote microphone didn't work. At least the artists weren't lip-syncing this time, but at get better quality wireless mics next time. :mad:

Too bad they didn't use wiring from Transparent or Audioquest.
But not that bad? For perhaps the biggest performance of an artist's life in terms of viewership, I'd hope they wouldn't tank as badly as they did.
