I agree -- the dancers with the lights in their costumes was terrific! I don't think anything like that has EVER been done before!

And the orginal Tron movie was also epic! 25 or so years ago...

I'm thinking for BEP's, it's more like:

Super Bowl -> ............................................... {cue the crickets} ................................

It must be difficult to put on a good halftime show, because so many are so bad. The visuals were pretty good, but the music sucked. If they can ever make Gaga wear clothes, she'd be good.

I was just glad they didn't have a bunch of washed up stinky hippies from the 60s up there.

I agree! What a horrible venue for a musical program. You'd have to be nuts to agree to try to perform music in a football stadium unless you're a marching band.

You mean the likes of Neal Young, Eric Clapton, Aretha Franklin, Chuck Berry or Carole King? You must be yoking.

Yes everyone sucked, including Christina A. the ONLY person that could sing was the chick from Glee....

Next time do you think you could "American" the whole thing up a little more...!?

Maybe we could send down some Canucks next time, maybe Nickleback or even KD Lang

I think you're missing the point, anyone with talent who could sing and actually play an instrument would have been an improvement

I agree that the music totally sucked balls. The lights and stuff were cool, at least the geek in me liked it. I hate the BEPs, and didn't care for the political message either.

I have to laugh at the suggestion of having Aretha Franklin or Chuck Barry sing. Might as well give the football to OJ or Walter Payton and tell them to run it in for a TD.

I'm biased. They should get Rush to play the halftime show. Their fans span a few generations, Rush still tour, their chops are impeccable and they never put on a bad show. I doubt they'd ever do it, but at least it'd be a professional performance by some guys who always deliver.

Agreed on Rush!

They seriously needed to "Rush" the BEP off the stage. That sucked!
