Black Eyed Peas - most boring and awful halftime show in ages. This sucks. Pure suckage.

[Rabrrrrrr]

I mean, the Black Eyed Peas are major suckage anyway, but this is even beyond their usual.

What the fuck is this?!?!?!?!

Pure shit. And they're only a couple minutes into it. Fucking hell.

Oh boy, and now Slash is on! :eyes:

Bring back Prince!

[YellowRubberDuckie]

1. I don't know, Fergie is doing a good Axl Rose.

LOL

[johnnie]

2. This is pure crap

I'm not against this music, but this sucks. And Fergie destroying Sweet Child of mine is just as bad.

[Haole Girl]

3. It is like a nightmare

Maybe I'm just old, I dunno. :-(

[YellowRubberDuckie]

4. No, you're not...

...they just suck. What the hell?

[Rabrrrrrr]

6. And it's not just the shitty music - it's that ridiculous dancing, and awful show on the field

with all the stupid lights and shit moving around, and the shitty godawful choregraphy.

It's like fucking community theater choreography for a musical, that isn't very good because a) the people aren't good, and b) they only have a few hours to rehearse, so they focus on the music and the dialogue, not the dancing.

It's like no one fucking cares how it looks.

"I don't know, let's just toss something together in the morning and see what happens."

[Odin2005]

14. I bet you want us youngins to get off your lawn, too?

:rofl:

[Rabrrrrrr]

If you're in the Suyper Bowl and not performing to the best of your ability, then, yes.

[tigereye]

16. it was a bit post-modernist though, eh?

well, maybe not... :rofl:

[WCGreen]

5. Usher to save the day....

Retreaded R&B Songs always make the difference.

[Chan790]

7. Tell me about it.

Fergie usually pees herself when she hits her really high notes. I've never been so disappointed in bladder control in my life.

[liberaltrucker]

8. Or Janet Jackson

:evilgrin:

[guitar man]

9. Jaysus Horatio Kee-Rist!!

I've heard better at karaoke night at 1 am. x(

[tigereye]

18. a friend's wife wondered what the drunken karaoke was

all about! :D


Again, they do have a likeable bit of the off-beat about them.

[guitar man]

28. Yeah I guess

But an act billed on that big of a show, it would be nice if they had some talent :P

[Moondog]

10. I thought it was just me. Makes marching bands look good by comparison.

[bluesbassman]

11. Might have been somewhat better if the mix was right.

All I heard was vocals. Even Slash'e bit was turned down. I can't believe it sounded like that in the stadium. Friggin' soundboard engineer needs to get the boot.

[ElboRuum]

12. Yep. TRON themed butchery.

[Odin2005]

13. I love the Black Eyed Peas!!! BURN HERETIC!!!

:grr:

[KamaAina]

39. Then again, you also like Korn and Linkin Park

And I've got proof.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=9613479&mesg_id=9613760

So there. :P

[Lucian]

44. What's wrong with Korn and Linkin Park?

I saw Linkin Park at the Xcel Energy Center last week and it was the best concert I've ever been to.

Pure awesomeness.

[tigereye]

15. Prince was so good, wasn't he?

I am having the best time laughing uproariously at friend's comments about the half-time show. To be fair, though, I think they could have picked someone worse. The light-show finally did start to frow on me, a little. I liked the guys with lit-up boxes for heads.


I just wish I could see Brian Eno, Bowie, George Clinton, even Lady Gaga, Arvade Fire- now that would be wild! Anyone interesting.

[Rabrrrrrr]

17. Prince totally kicked ass. But then, he's a total kick ass musician and artists.

What are your friends saying about the show? Are you laughing at them because they like it, or are they saying hilariously disparaging things about it?

[tigereye]

20. oh no - they hated it! We are all alternative music types

and old punk-rockers. We were trying to think of bands/acts we would love to see during the SB but never would in a billion years.

[EnviroBat]

42. And it was pouring rain on him too...

just sayin. Last night's half-time show SUCKED beyond the limits of human suckage. How the hell did these no-talent ass-clowns become popular? Oh right, I forgot, this is the U.S. We worship mediocrity, and reward stupidity...

[Rabrrrrrr]

21. I think next year Eno and Fripp should come out and do "An Index of Metals".

or just Eno doing "Ambient IV: On Land", just to blow the minds of the artless fucks in the stadium.

[tigereye]

22. oh, that would be so cool

or some squonking jazz, or Bowie, or classical, or something!

[Rabrrrrrr]

27. If Sun Ra were still alive, he could do a 20-minute version of "Nuclear War"

:rofl:

[tigereye]

31. ooh! Or the Art Ensemble! Wow.

Hell, why not just Green Day? Most people like them. (can't remember if they performed at half-time before or not...)

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

19. The Superbowl halftime show is where washed-up rock bands

go to die. That was particularly execrable.

[BOG PERSON]

23. .

[LostInAnomie]

24. Whatever! Nothing could be worse than The Who last year.

They were fucking horrible.

[Bennyboy]

25. agreed times 50...

I liked the show this year. Kind of Olympics y.....

[Rabrrrrrr]

26. Yeah, they really were. Super disappointing. But I think Blackeyed Peas exceeded that suckitude.

[Courtesy Flush]

33. I came here to say that.

[av8rdave]

37. The Who were awful, but I think the 'Peas may have just set the bar even lower

[Mojambo]

29. I realize performing at the Superbowl tends to "lame"ize even legitimate acts

but The Black Eyed Peas are a joke to an almost cosmic degree.

Can't believe ANYONE goes for that garbage, and I'm tolerant of some pretty shit music.

[tigereye]

32. I think they are laughing all the way to the bank

there's something almost post-modernist about them. A weird melange of hip-hop, rave, campy performance art and dress-up.

[TreasonousBastard]

30. I've got a bet going that sometime in the next two months...

you'll find something you like and post about it.

[AngryAmish]

34. I thought they were the best since Prince

I don't like the BEP especially but I thought it was high energy without them being surrounded by three thousand screaming idiots. I likede the Tron-guy costumes on the dancers.

[brendan120678]

35. Yeah, the BEP sucked...

Christina sucked....
What's-her-name from Glee was okay, but she's a horrible actress, and tried to "act" while singing, which was annoying.
Most of the commercials sucked. The rest were just lame (except for the young Darth Vader one).

[Bossy Monkey]

36. NObody puts Fergie in a corner! Oh, wait...

They were ungood. Agree on Prince; why not just make him Permanent Super Bowl Halftime Performer?

[LynneSin]

38. Best Superbowl performance was Prince - this has to be a halftime classic...

I remember it was pouring down rain so it made the show even that much better. And that image pissed off a bunch of fundies too.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

40. i loved it!

[HughBeaumont]

41. "This is worse and more flatulent than wash-ups in Vegas. Where's Axl??"

My quote from last night.

And, right on cue, Slash emerges from the risers, playing "Sweet Child", which Fergus proceeds to butcher in her Axl pastiche voice. Unbelievably wretched.

"Da Peas" are just shit-awful LCD garbage. The only thing that would have made it worse would be Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow coming out and singing anything.

[Lucian]

43. Prince sucks worse than the BEP.

Never cared for him. Never will.
