Packers should win by a TD, from a totally unbiased source:

Weirdo!
I may be the only person in town not watching the game tonight.

KO is not at a logical time for the UK
As my buddy is a Packers fan I'd better declare an intrest and wait for the headlines in the morning...
Have fun...
-
0-7 and off to the dream world... ;)
-
Boomer the dog signals TOUCHDOWN for the Pack!

I hope the Packers can keep it up for the second half. According to the Madden game predictions the Steelers win in a comeback upset.

Is Fergie a little pregnant?

Not that I know of...

Don't feel all alone - I'm not watching it either :bored:
As for Fergie - my daughter stopped on FOX between channels and it was half time so we wathced about 8 minutes of the "half time show" No, Fergie's not preggers but I am certain that she can not sing :rolleyes: And Slash, well Slash has jumped the shark for the umpteenth time now :sad:
I have to say that Tom Petty was the best lately - even better than Sir Paul
-
And a Packers win = Good! ;)
-
YES!!!!!!!!!
Been a Pack fan since the 60's. They made me very nervous in the last half, but pulled it out when it had to happen.
The Steelers have a great franchise and are probably the best-run team in the league.
The Packers are special and unique. Good for them...World Champs!

Although I rarely watch pro ball, I sometimes watch the Super Bowl. That is the first time since I can remember that the team I was for actually won. The halftime show was lackluster and lame, almost an embarrassment. Since NippleGate, it seems the primary consideration is to not stir up any controversy.

Way to go Packers! Love the old NFC teams (although we are still die hard Bills fans waiting for the next Jim Kelly!).

No such thing as a little pregnant. ;)

I have always subscribed to the theory the more dancers=less talent onstage.
-
I'm no Black Eyed Peas hater, but this was both overdone and lame. And I've heard Fergie sing better than yesterday, but it might have been nerves and bad stage sound, other bands have had issues with that too.
-
Must have been the longest 60 seconds of Slashes life! I think the BEPs are pretty clever. This over the top bit of nonsense even puts Patti Labelle's 70's wardrobe to shame.
-
They are not Prince, that is for sure, even if they swiped some of his visuals I thought. Prince can be glamorous, OTT and still have substance in music. And throw one hell of a shadow all the while.

I think this article sums up the halftime performance pretty well.
-

I found myself wondering A LOT when "singing" became more dependent on choreography and less on actual singing. Holiday Inn, it wasn't. Usher was perhaps the worst - all pose, little voice. I keep thinking Usher seems to be a decent guy, he just doesn't let his singing talent show very often.
I liked Springsteen a few years ago MUCH better...and even Prince with the phall-o-master guitar.

halftime aside, i'm glad the packers won. my all time favorite team since i was old enough to pay attention.

And I found myself wondering when melisma became something for a crowd to cheer about.
The Black Eyed Peas were awful, the halftime show as a whole was awful and Slash's appearance was just sad. But they were great compared to Christina Aguilera and her quavering voice.
-
And I found myself wondering when melisma became something for a crowd to cheer about.
I've heard Mariah Carey blamed for popularizing that - I dunno if she deserves all the blame. IMO it's obnoxious and pervasive. I thought Aguilera was a big letdown - she CAN sing, but she didn't do it for this event.
That's one reason I like surf music and 60's/70's rock. None of that crap in evidence.
-
Apparently she botched the National Anthem...? Someone else can suffer the playback to check though... ;)

She F'd up the words. Just how does one do that ? What a joke. They paid her a Million+ and she can't even get the words right. Shameful.
-
I don't know about the words (she missed one line and sang another one twice, getting the words slightly wrong, but the American Anthem has gotten through worse things I believe), but I've heard it sung a lot worse. Inter alia by Whitney Houston. That is not my style of singing at all, but considering it's done acapella, it could be a lot worse. And nobody who invited her probably thought she would sing it "straight".
-
Choice of artists aside, what really caught my attention was how wretched the sound was throughout the entire show. I heard Marooned5 playing during the pre-game and their levels were all whacked... same with the mix during that halftime production... An epic pooch screw.
Then again, maybe they just realized the futility of it all... :bored:
-
The sound was indeed abysmal. No excuse for that at all.
-
The national anthem has been botched many times. I remember when Nat King Cole botched the words badly and that had to be 50 years ago. What I object to is the melismatic singing you hear so often today. It's awful, and it's mainly used by people who can't hold key. People like Christina Aguilera. And yet plenty of people seem to think it shows talent! It's gotten to be as pervasive as autotune, and almost as bad.
-
You could always travel back in time and ask someone: Are you Mariah
Connor Carey?

Off on a training course - you're safe 'til Friday (ish) ;D
-
IMO the people who come off the best doing the US Anthem are those who keep it simple, play it straight and don't far around with the tune. Others don't come off well.
I found the sound from the halftime show pretty incoherent, but I seldom can follow lyrics in popular music.

A million + !! For that! ??? If she had any sort of character she would donate the whole nut to a disabled veterans outfit. Just saying...

I second that emotion.

Comment today today from humorist Andy Borowitz: "...the NFL announced that next year’s Super Bowl halftime show would feature Yoko Ono, a hyena, and two balloons rubbed together."
That would be an improvement.

Hard to top the nipple bowl live.

Oh- so Xtina is gonna be back next year too? :rimshot:

As long as we don't have to put up with her voice....
The hyena could do covers of Yoko's songs, no one would be able to tell the difference.
