I know, what dud I am huh!?!
Well, just for the record, it was fine. I saw nothing wrong with it, except she barely sang the songs.
That's all folks, not much more to say! For me anyhow.

(41,997 posts)I haven't seen an entire halftime show in years. To me, one is interchangeable with another.

(41,997 posts)From what I understand, it was just another halftime show, no better or worse than any other. I don't quite get it either, so I stayed out of it. I'm waiting for it to go away.
It's not like she's a controversial figure or anything. Just a pop star. The first time I really listened to her was at the inaugural address. She has a beautiful voice.

(7,237 posts)Football glorifies and rewards male violence and don't even get me started on the problems I have with the sexed up NFL cheerleaders
Male violence plus women as decorative accessories equals Madras is not interested

i was disappointed. i was frustrated. i thought it was just me. i could not hear her when she was singing and there was not a lot of singing. and i didnt find a good beat in the music. toward the end of the show i mumbled that her dance really was not appropriate for the mass audience..... i am not sure what she was doing that pulled that comment from me, but wasnt a big deal. and though is was stripper costume, i thought it modest and ok for dance and wasnt bothered by the outfit either. i get what people are saying, but personally i thought it not bad as a whole. the flinging the hair thing was too much. a couple times, ok. but... again, just not a big deal.
over all though, i was not impressed with her, not the show.
then i went into a thread that said her she is in a gown. she sang and i was able to hear, and judge her voice. i thought it was good.
the super bowl is the highest watched event across the nation with such a diverse audience. a performer, i feel, has a responsibility to take their audience into consideration. and if not, will get the criticism along with people that loved her.
overall, a meh for me.
i feel we dont get to the issue when talking about the "nipplegate". we act like it was the fact that we all saw a nipple. that was not an issue for me. on that one, i felt that it was planned. the dance and song the two were doing, i felt that when he ripped the garment it purposely took the whole of the garment and she not very well, pretended a coy modesty. that is what bothered me with the jackson thing. i do not believe it was an accident. and with the white man/black woman act, it felt like history and black woman having no control. that is why i was bothered with that one.
