Super Bowl LVII - Chiefs vs Eagles in Glendale
- Thread starter JohnnyTheBone
- Start date
Probably because there was a pregnant lady lip syncing and walking around up there.
If you’re a fan of her’s, it was probably fine. It was pretty boring, at best.
Other than Prince and U2 (I was there for the latter and the opening win of the Dynasty , most have been ok at best, unwatchable at worst.
edit to add Bruno Mars—who was light years better than I was expecting.
This opening drive is going to be huge. 3 and out vs a sustained drive to take it back to one possession will obviously tell us a lot. Lots of pressure on Reid, etc to make a stand with the momentum and injury status shift.
It wasn't. It was really, really low energy because Rhianna didn't even try.
She's got great songs, so the music was stellar, of course. But it wasn't a great show. And the dancing was generic and also hard to even see.
Disappointed in the 1st ha;f/thwo-thirds (as a Navy-ite), but Umbrella and Diamonds (without the distractions) brought it home!
Yup. This condensed format also shows how her catalogue is banger after banger. Who gives a shit if she's lip syncing.
So did they open the roof just for the show? Why not play with the roof open? The weather is magnificent.
Despite having a floating three dimensional choreographed dance, they inexplicably followed a red-clad Rihanna with closeups over a glowing red platform.
Edit: the sound mix was dogshit too.
I was at the Tom Petty halftime live and kind of wish they DIDN'T do that one live. I mean the Super Bowl venue is setup to host a football game, so this isn't an ideal setup where a band can have their own tour sound guys and production staff. That's why a few rock bands do well but pop acts with choreography play best at halftime shows...
Roof has been open. They mentioned it right before the opening kickoff.
I know, right? I was in the midst of telling my wife that story when the peep hole scene popped up.
I thought Bruno Mars was very good as well.. also thought Justin Timberlake was very good.
Wasn't the greatest Rhi performance ever but I thought it fell solidly in the "fine" category.
Katy Perry knew the assignment. Left Shark stole the show, but you knew she'd do well when she came out on a giant robot lion for "Roar."
For the record, (1), I agree, but (2) my list was based solely on whether the Patriots won or lost. Not as funny in execution as it was in my head.
