When will our sport leagues learn to just hand the music and lyrics to the "stars," and say "sing it this way!"?
Does it surprise anyone that it is the most painful three minutes of screeching (cat in a sack bad), and wrong words heard since our last tour of the Alzheimer's wing at the nursing home?
The singing of our National Anthem is about honoring our nation and those that made and make our enjoyments possible. It is not about your "great artistic talent!"

I'm here typing this because the Super Bowl "Halftime Show" is the biggest pile of crap I've ever heard in my life! These idiot's sound like pigs in a punch press. I'd find an attack of diarrhea in a crowded subway car more pleasurable than listening to these afterbirths with vocal chords. Pure slop. They should get a bill from the NFL, not a check. Bill T.
-
im not even watching the game and i'm in the heart of steeler country... for shame on me.... but i would have to agree. these "singers" have no respect for the task at which they are privileged to have. instead they see it as an opportunity to make the spotlight shine on them... besides.... she has always sounded like $hit smells anyway.

pretty much, christina did a good job compared to that pile of crap.
-
This and other things are why I haven't watched a Superbowl in about ten years. That, and I don't give a shit about football...
I'd rather watch the World Championships of Curling...or grass grow
Aguilera has been over for a few years now, she can't even sell records these days. Got new boobs and they're dragging on her vocal chords.
-
She missed the lyrics, for the NATIONAL ANTHEM......so far the commercials suck also.
Christina did sing well, but she did screw up the verse.
After all, it's just the NATIONAL ANTHEM,,....

Why those petty traditional kinda sappy stuff just doesn't resonate like it used to.

Nooooooooooo! Nothing does, will or could make what she tried look good >:(
-
She's crap. Didn't watch the game other than a few minutes before the half. Don't care who wins. Thought the "group" (?) at halftime sucked big league (the blond looked like she just woke up and never practiced), changed the channel after about 20 seconds.
-
Music in a stadium pretty much sucks anyway - lousy acoustics.
Add to that a terrible National Anthem singer and a crappy halftime group and it REALLY SUCKS.
Great game though! ;D ;D ;D
-
The NFL is continuosly trying to jazz up the Super Bowl with big production numbers at halftime, and stupor star singers for the National Anthem. They always screw up.
The irony of the halftime show is that the FOX network originated the "alternative" halftime show back in the late 80s and early 90s. They provided an alternative program that lasted exactly long enough to give viewers an option to the stupor bow halftime show. Too bad they became mainstream.

It's a shame that with all the nit picking about the half time show, which is nothing but a way to kill dead time between halves, none of you felt it worth mentioning who WON the damn game ! >:(

ARLINGTON, Texas – Aaron Rodgers completed 24 of 39 passes for 304 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions, and the Green Bay Packers held off a late charge by the Pittsburgh Steelers to win Super Bowl XLV, 31-25, Sunday in Arlington, Texas.
Rodgers was named MVP.

They were all too busy shuffling their feet and picking their noses >:( We need to bring Bud Grant back to coach the players on how it is done. He used to make the team practice standing at attention on the sideline with their feet on the line and their heels lined up with the back edge. Helmet under left arm and right hand on their heart. They did this for every game regardless of what the other team was doing, and they held to the end of the last note rather than breaking it a line or two from the end.

Football hasn't been the same since coaches stopped wearing proper hats....

Blame the NFL! I asked once why coaches didn't dress in suits and hats anymore, and it was explained how it is all about the contracts with vendors. Can't wear anything that doesn't have the contracted logos in the proper place. Maybe if Landry could get Nike or Starter to put a logo on he could still wear the hat, but the suits are forbidden because they don't sell them in the pro shops.

Quit bitching about Aguilera, at least she sang it in English. :(

It was on TV, you didn't see it? :P
-
Aguilera messed up the lyrics as she performed her "urban yodeling" of the National Anthem. :'( No big surprise there. And yes, I'm old. But there is a right way to respectfully sing our Nation's song and urban yodeling ain't it. >:(
The half-time show??? Think back and try to remember when one of these has been worth watching. I couldn't, either. ???
The game??? I really thought the Stillers could still pull it out until that final interception. :P Yes, I am disappointed. But not as disappointed as my pal from Pittsburgh. I haven't heard from Haz yet. I hope he's gonna pull through. :-\

I couldn't tell.
-

Dude, I don't even own a TV. ;D
The music show used to fill the dead space between halves is aimed at attracting younger viewers, your kids probably thought the "Black eyed Peas" were great, although some one mentioned that the acoustics there stink.
I mean come on, would any of you have watched Janet Jackson if her boob didn't get shown ? ;D
And as bad as whats her name did, I bet it was still better than Roseanne Barr.
Don't make me post that video ! :-X
-
Speaking of Janet Jackson, Why does the NFL keep letting these degenerates play when year after year they keep embarrassing the league?
-
Ms. Aguilera sings far better than I so I have no complaints about her singing. I thought she was trying to hard but I can't do any of the notes she did so no harm no foul. As far as the halftime show that is just fluff for me so I just ignore it and fast foward through it, thank you DVR! I watch football for the game and of course the cheerleaders.

I couldn't agree more. "Artists": The national anthem ain't about you and your performance. I thought the girl from "Glee" who sang immediately before Christina stunk up the stadium did a FANTASTIC job.
The half-time show??? Think back and try to remember when one of these has been worth watching. I couldn't, either. ???
The only thing that MIGHT have given that half-time show some redeeming value would have been had Fergie experienced a Janet Jackson style wardrobe malfunction.

I suspect the cat is heavily medicated after that game. ;D

After reading all the posts on this thread I didn't find one the gave a reason why I should care who won the "super" bowl. About the debacle that was the singing of the National Anthem, I make it a practice to not watch that for any "sporting event". (That is in quotes because I think any time the players in a sport are paid more than the President of the country that removes what they do from the realm of sport.) The only time I've heard the National Anthem song correctly, in recent memory, was when it was done by a soldier was a great voice. I didn't watch any of the pre-game, game, or post game but I did see some of the joke on the news this am.
Pecos, who still wants to know why he should have spent any time watching 22 men trying to injure each other.
-
I watched something more interesting than the Stupid Bowl but I can't remember what it was!
Now, if they were playing Australian rules, THAT would be worth watching. Doubt any of those women with long hair playing in the NFL would bother to show up!
The NFL, MLB, NBA and the NHL have become jokes in the last twenty years. Not worth my time....

Typical pop singer caterwauling.

Will.i.am changes lyrics to send message to Obama
By Chris Chase
It wasn't quite a wardrobe malfunction, but Will.i.am had an off-script Super Bowl moment of his own during the Black Eyed Peas' performance on Sunday night. The singer delivered a message to President Obama by changing three lines to his band's hit "Where Is The Love?" during the 15-minute medley:
"In America we need to get things straight / Obama, let's get these kids educated / Create jobs so the country stays stimulated."

I would have more respect for a guy who came on this forum and asked how to load the .25 ACP for a Raven semi auto with a Lee Loader, than some idiot from the "Black Assed Pee's". As General George S. Patton once said, "All right, now you sons of bitches know how I feel"! Bill T.

Should be called the Brown Eyed Queers. Bunch of f*ckin turd burglers w/no talent.
Sorry, was that insensitive?
-

+1. Not very many folks doing what they were supposed to be doing. How many folks in the audience do you think even knew she screwed up the words?
-

Insensitive, no. Accurate YES.

Back to Aguilera. I did notice her make up was lacking the classic coppertone colored lipstick outlined with dark brown pencil to emulate a relaxed sphincter anus look. Bill T.

Is Christina 'Merican or American?
Did like the patriotic theme in the beginning and the reading of the Declaration of Independence. Also found the hairs on the back of my neck stand at attention when they recognized Medal of Honor Recipient Sgt. Guinta and mentioned former Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrel.
