I missed the 1/2 time show, had to do laundry ( first time this year! )
I didn't know it was Beyonce, I've never heard any of her music but I have admired her pictures.
I wish they would have a competition for the best high school drum marching band and cheerleader squad to do the halftime show.

The Who did it one yr and they were lousy too. I cant recall a half time show in recent history I've liked.

Yeah! Like, Beethoven.  =D

You mean Ludwig van Beethoven? We just use his last name, he used his full name.

I'm not a die hard fan by any means, but enjoy watching the game every year ( didn't even know who was playing until a few days ago).
What is with these crappy " performers" and burlesque shows?
Kids watch this for crying out loud.

Agree that the music wasn't my taste. Slightly less ADD than last year, from what I understand.

Re the indecency. The women wore tights underneath their outfits, dude. All that was shown was a mild amount of cleavage, everything else was covered. And I've seen a lot more at any mall. That's fairly standard, because it's easier than using double sided tape to hold weird costumes in place. Allows more range of movement, even without worrying about clothing moving in directions you don't want it to. Yes, I've been in a couple plays and musicals. The dancing didn't seem especially provocative.

While granted it's not a costume one would generally wear on the streets, it's not exceptionally indecent on a stage.

Do a quick youtube search for "kylie minogue agent provocateur commercial". That would probably be "burlesque show" level of racy.

Bono. The Edge (still only counts as one!).  Madonna.  Cher. Oprah. Ochocinco.

Call it a matter of taste.  I think the most pretentious ones are also the most annoying.

Or Leonardo da Vinci?

"da Vinci" means "of Vinci", which is a town in Tuscany. Which makes me laugh whenever I hear "da Vinci Code", "da Vinci Treatment", etc. You'd think folks would learn the meaning of the words they use in a title or name of a product/business/process.

if you ask me, it's the logistics of the performance that is the amazing part.  how easy is it to take an empty field, turn it into a stage with all the support lighting and sound wired, have your performance, and remove it again in 30 minutes (and not damage the playing surface in the process)?

All legs aside, I thought she sang and danced her very nice ass off. Unfortunately, no wardrobe malfunctions. I'd take her boob over Janet's any day.  >:D

I did concur with wmennors "all it needed was a stripper pole" comment though. maybe a few too many pelvic thrusts for the younger crowd. I wander how many mommies and daddies chased the kids into the other room during half time.  :lol:

Don't need to.  Every frame of it was burned indelibly into my brain 11 years ago.

And have it all WORK without a hitch. I can't imagine what it must have been like to put that all together. I wonder if there were any unseen/unnoticed glitches. There's always at least one. lol

Please tell me what mall you go to, as I want to hang out there all the time. ;)

Never heard her sing, but Beyonce is sexy, and so was that show.

The load monitoring system noticed an abnormality in their power systems. Said system then opened a breaker (as it is designed to), causing power to be partially cut to the Superdome in order to isolate the issue. It was on the Superdome's side, not their power company's side.

I agree with the general consensus that it was Beyonce's fault. Given all the power that show must have sucked up it could quite easily have overheated things and popped a breaker.  ;)

One note, I'm sure as hell glad the Ravens won in the end because if they had lost after that whole power thing the incessant whining would go on for months.  [barf]
