(sorry, JT)
And, what's the frequency, CS? Feelin' proud about those Buck$Fifty raises yall got from the Kleptocracy this week?




This one was bad but I really though last year was pretty well done. Lady Gaga put on a good show.Pwns wrote:For once, I agree with Ahold Guy.
The last decent one was the Tom Petty show, but that one was especially "bleh".

You're right. I've obviously erased everything to do with that SB from my head.Vidav wrote:This one was bad but I really though last year was pretty well done. Lady Gaga put on a good show.Pwns wrote:For once, I agree with Ahold Guy.

It's not a sign of age, it's a sign of crotchety old age. Cappy doesn't like the old fart bands or God. I didn't think it was bad and my wife liked it. She's younger than me though, by a month.andy7171 wrote:Timberlake was great last night. As was Gaga and Prince in recent years. Bruno Mars did a fantastic job also.
For once I agree with GF. Its a sign of getting elderly.
And I think Aho Old Guy is Cappy in disguise.



The band wasn't live, people noticed the trombone player wasn't doing any sliding.BDKJMU wrote:Didn’t watch the halftime show. Was he a lip syncing fraud like so many in the past have been?

They were meh. The Eli Manning commercials were weird but I laughed when they went into the Dirty Dancing number.Ivytalk wrote:Commercials generally sucked, too.
The thing about JT - is that he's one of those few guys that can actually sing. He doesn't need auto tune.BDKJMU wrote:Didn’t watch the halftime show. Was he a lip syncing fraud like so many in the past have been?


"Timberlake rocks"?GannonFan wrote:If you didn't like the Halftime show then you're basically just saying that you're old. Timberlake rocks, and he put on a great show and touched on so many of his hits, I'm sure mostly songs very few people here know. It's just part of getting older.

Dave Grohl runs around the stage, playing solo's and while talking to the fans. Your local high school can march around and play trumpets, trombones, horns, etc...∞∞∞ wrote:The standard around the world is that lip syncing is acceptable during choreographed performances. America is one of the few places that actually gives singers grief for it, even though it seems like an unrealistic expectation to have performers singing, dancing, and running around everywhere at the same time. I imagine Broadway singers would have a tough time with that much action, let alone your regular pop artist.
JT was definitely lip syncing last night, but it's a whatever in my opinion.

I don't think you can compare a rock artist running around on stage (and stopping when he feels like it), to a highly-choreographed and sometimes physically intensive performance. Fair or not, pop and hip-hop come with an expectation of intricately choreographed dancing. For. Every.

You missed the point. The point was that it's totally possible to sing, play an instrument and move around. I've never been, but I bet when he was with n*Sync, he sang and danced. It's a skill. Singing and dancing is a skill. Otherwise, all those folks on Broadway are con artists.∞∞∞ wrote:I don't think you can compare a rock artist running around on stage (and stopping when he feels like it), to a highly-choreographed and sometimes physically intensive performance.

It's very much about the entire performance rather than just the songs.

Just admit you hate Americans and be done with it. Your mom has won the battle.∞∞∞ wrote:The standard around the world is that lip syncing is acceptable during choreographed performances.
