I thought Beyonce looked pretty chunky, didn't sing too well either, although her dance moves were alright

Remember when Peyton Manning could lead his receivers? Now they have to grab a chair and wait for the ball.

His injuries and surgery have depleted his skills and arm strength. It is kind of sad watching Peyton trying to throw an out pass. He still was able to do just enough not to lose the game so kudos to him.

Yeah it is. The one the ex-Husky McClain batted down early looked like me at 40 years old playing DB with my 5 year old son and his 5 year old friend playing football in the backyard, toying with them LOL

I'm could take or leave Coldplay, but I don't get the criticism when they're out there with a pure media creation like Beyoncé.

Yes, they were the best of the three. The whole halftime show sucked. Bruno was good a couple of years ago when he brought an actual band. Lip Syncing some crap with dancers? Pathetic and lame.

The really sad thing is that the average dude with a guitar who plays covers at the local bar would be better than any of these acts who rely so much on spectacle over substance.

I saw Wilco last week. Incredible, they should headline next year.
 
I think if they were lip-syncing, the sound would have been better. They never learned how to adjust for the crowd noise.

Her National Anthem was pretty good too. Sort of reserved and opposite of her usual pop character.
 
I am pretty sure if you like Coldplay you probably liked the halftime show, if not then you probably hated it. Is there more to discuss than that? I liked Coldplay and I enjoyed it. The real question is who won the dance off between Beyonce and her girls and Bruno and his crew.

You've got as good a shot as Wilco does at doing the Super Bowl half time show. That's not to say they're not a great band.

It's sort of bizarre that someone would praise Coldplay while calling Beyonce a media creation, when she's much more talented than they are. Coldplay seem tailor made for playing corporate outings. For every hit they have there's an indie band somewhere playing the original version. The ideal band for people who think that Bono just isn't quite insufferable enough.

I used to like Beyoncé years ago, she's horrendous now and she's had so much work done that she's hardly looks like the good looking woman she used to be. Buddy of mine has flown for her, he says Jay-Z has been nice as can be while she is a nightmare.

How so? From what I see, she doesn't fully write or produce her own music and she doesn't play an instrument. She has some co-writing or co-producing credits. But I'm not an R&B fan. Maybe I'm missing something because I just don't know any better.

Yeah, but the whole point of the halftime show is spectacle. When it's got substance on top of it, that's when it kills. U2, however you feel about them, in 2001 after 9/11 was a perfect.

Leaving aside how one feels about U2, at least they have some serious talent, and the catalog to prove it, to fall back on.

Beyonce is more talented in terms of what, looking pretty and shaking her ass? Don't get me wrong, she can sing and she's entertaining to watch, but Coldplay are much more talented songwriters in terms of their earlier work.
Don't judge a band off of the same hits that are played over and over on the radio (especially the songs performed at the half time show).

Guess it depends how you define talent. Beyonce is a performer, first and foremost. That's her job. She's become an icon because of it.

I'm familiar with Coldplay, including their early work. I think they make great music for cell phone commercials. People are free to disagree.
 
Cold Play showed remarkably small hands under the basket; Beyonce' needs to work on her footwork, particularly when moving to the left; and Bruno Mars displayed a disconcerting lack of handle for a guard.

I suspect that Bruno is the most talented of the "acts" on display yesterday, although he showed zero talent in what he actually did. It looked like a cheesy music video. So did Beyonce. Coldplay was bland and adequate, as usual, but on a day when bland and adequate was better than what the others offered...so annoying that I would rather watch people torture puppies.

U2 was very good and there have been a few others over the years. I think the NFL is trying too hard to be PC in selecting these acts. Pick a band, one band, and let them actually play.

Indeed. People seem to ignore the fact that the Beatles were hip deep in them for quite some time.

Yeah. For me, music is about 90% sound, 10% performance. The sound for the entire halftime show sucked BALLS. And they really made no effort that I could detect to improve it. Why not just have the crowd sing the songs if that's what you're going for ? Horrendous.

I couldn't really offer an opinion on Coldplay, Beyonce, or Bruno Mars because I couldn't really hear them. Which is kinda the point with a musical performance.

Bruno Mars should do every halftime show by himself from now on, he's the best at this stuff since Michael Jackson.

Not a fan of Bruno Mars. My thought last night was you easily could have substituted Morris Day and the Time doing Jungle Love and it would have been exactly the same, hair and beat.
Since it was #50, I was hoping for something cross generational like a group from the 60's/70's, someone from the 80's/90's and a current act. Instead, in my grouchy 48 year old man opinion, I got 3 steaming piles of crap. Not all that dis-similar from the quality of the game itself.

The year Jethro Tull got the award for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance Vocal or Instrumental is the year the Grammy's became a full fledged joke. They're of the same quality as the folks that bring you your RnR HOF nominations.

His lip sync was a solid 5 seconds off though

Hey I posted before the halftime show yesterday. Bruno Mars halftime performance a few years ago was great. I don't really like any current pop music but this guy does it better than anyone else currently. Heard him perform live before without lip synching and he sounded better than in the studio, not sure why he was lip synching last night.
