Yes Another Super Bowl Half-Time Performance Gripe

No I was not offended by Beyonce's outfit. (Frankly it was HOT!) I don't mind Beyonce's music. But the overall production of the half-time show this year was awful.

1. The audio was terrible. Beyonce is a good singer. The mics were horrible off and the overall audio was terrible.
2. My opinion is they should bring more random stars into the production as it moves along. Yes they added Destiny's Child to the mix but I'm much more entertained by other elements coming in.
3. The lighting elements I thought were good but the odd imaging and graphics detracted from Beyonce's music.
4. I thought the dance choreography was very basic and dull.

I have been a part of major productions like this and I know it takes an awful lot of talent and work from all involved to pull off a 15 minute show with only a few minutes to set the stage and strike the stage. I get that. But compared to other years I thought it was pretty bad this year.

I will say that I thought Alicia Keys was amazing. Great audio, seemed to not have a nervous bone in her body. Awesome anthem.
