Those are geezers.

So you're looking more at 100 year olds.

We Tivo'd through halftime.

Damn... missed it.

We Tivo'd THROUGH (that means fast-forwarded) the halftime so as not to SEE Beyoncé... No one howled.

I think Springsteen's great.

I love the Black Eyed Peas.

I love the Who.

Madonna was pretty good last year.

But Beyonce's music was better, her sound was better and the dancing and other aspects of the show were just plain higher and better than in recent years.

It was so much better than previous years, it should be watched for comparison's sake.

Husband enjoyed the visuals but thought the music was bland and uninspired. We are in our late fifties and rock and roll and blues fans. Different strokes.

who knew.

DVR'd through it. We purposely turned to the game about an hour after it started so we could FF through the commercials and halftime. Got to real time about halfway through the fourth quarter.

Some of us just don't like her songs. Doesn't make us old turds.

than she is a great musician or vocalist.

Her voice is alright, but I just don't prefer the 'pop' vocalists. I guess that makes me a old turd, but hey I was one from the childhood. I hated 'pop' then too.

Although I do find the sudden power blackout to be of considerable interest.

to elaborate on what exactly you mean.

If you aren't "chicken".

i'll give em a pass on that. the choreography wasn't exactly family friendly though, IMHO

and since most of the show was dancing..... i thought it was a bit adult for a national audience.

Just because someone else has an opinion about her preformance dosen't mean you have to be such ajerk about it.

Turds? Seriously? Opinions dude, it's a good thing. UGH

nt

That is what her performance costumes remind me of. FWIW, I am not an old turd.

I just think her performance was not all that good, but there were some highlights.

Costume wise or vocal wise. To me, she will forever be the greatest.

Beyonce is too screetchy for my tastes.

Although I'm glad to know exactly how you feel about other people.

I think you should rethink your post, and rethink about your ageist views.

Remember, one day you'll be old, too. Are you just going to be - in your words - an "old turd"? Having "Vapors" over any young thing showing skin?

Interesting, in that your avatar has a pic of an "old turd".

Beyonce is pretty damn HOT

someday she`ll mature and become a good singer. while she`s got that bod there`s no reason not to flaunt it. hell tina turner still can kick ass.

I've seen the concert from Arnhem, the Netherlands.

But then again,

Oh wait, he has actual songs to perform so doesn't rely on selling it with T & A.

you'd see at the Oscars.

I saw her on some daytime program, and apparently her M.O. is to wear three pairs of "tights" or other stocking-like undergarments that are virtually opaque. So, she's not "showing" anything. She's completely covered, in tight-fitting and shiny clothing.

On that same program, her mother was appearing--she designs her clothing; the idea is to make it appear that she is "showing some skin" but in actual fact, it's all a mirage. No wardrobe malfunctions with that young lady.....

There's a ton of "flesh colored" fabric and clear strapping holding those costumes up...and many of the contestants are "spanx'd" and corseted to beat the band.

The viewers only THINK they're seeing something, but they aren't!

You truly can see more skin if you go to even the senior citizen beach!

I simply wasn't impressed with her performance. She's a middling talent at best.

She absolutely killed it. KILLED it. Dead. And she knows it. She is a gorgeous and talented woman. I'm no fan but I can freely admit that she killed it with that performance.

No, I wouldn't let my 6 year old watch it, but she killed it. The Beyonce-hate around here is overheated, needless and stupid. It's also a bit suspect in my book.

....I'm 62 and I've seen a lot worse than that tame halftime stuff. It's the 30s to 40s Christian Fundamentalist Taliban who get all twisted about this kind of stuff, not those of us have been there and done that.

Throw another hook in the water....maybe you'll catch something next time.

I'd love to see them get a current, modern band like Muse or the Foo Fighters in there (Muse would be absolutely amazing), that would be an absolutely kick ass show. I'd like to see AC/DC as well. Iron Maiden would be a pipe dream...

with REAL ROCK

the first time, BON was with them

i was them on the "for those about to rock" tour -- think it was 1982.

please

If anyone is indifferent, does that make them a middle age fart? Is there a sliding scale of chronological poopiness available for a contrast/compare?

I am curious because I'm 70 and couldn't care less. In fact I'm not quite sure who this person is. If she flashed her lady parts in front of millions of people, BFD.

Inquiring minds ....

meh

In other words, a fart in a wind storm. However, the name calling is unnecessary.

Not me.

Nice name calling and broad brush stroke there.

that you might live to be an old turd, or did you mean, old fart? goodness gracious...

And technically I am an old fart at 55.

Using the term more as a metaphor for the reaction to Beyonce and all her skin.

I was surprised to see so many "get off my lawn" errrrr Progressives here on DU.

not pole dancing!
