The amount of 40 something and 50 something year old white guys in this thread is really showing

Lol nah, I'm 36 and like a few of his songs but that was awful.

 

[Border Vol]

When was the last time people collectively enjoyed a halftime show, really?

Hating on the halftime show is about as American and Super Bowl as the commercials.

The last interesting one was the Janet Jackson nipple halftime show of the Patriots-Panthers Super Bowl February 2004.

I am that and I love me some jayz and this guys music isn't bad but this performance was horrible.

Jay z with Lincoln park if Chester was still alive would be amazing.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

I think it was a better "show" than most of the posts here are saying. But, yeah, I think the music sucks

None of it made sense.

 

[99gator]

I bet Shakira and Jlo would be a good 1/2 time show

Stripper poles always make for a good halftime show

 

[Border Vol]

Why are the dancers wearing jock straps on their head?

I remember Prince had a good performance, Tom Petty was good as well. Honestly, most of the rock bands have at least been decent. Can't think of many others that I liked. Most of the new popular music that is selected for the halftime show is horrible. Of course I'm a metalhead so I won't be seeing my favorite music played.

Music is bad; performance is sh*t

I’m 26.

It was bad.

 

[NEO]

U2 was really good. Tom Petty was great

U2 and Tom Petty are always great!!!!

I can't believe I forgot those 2.

Tom petty could sing a song while sitting in a chair the whole show and he would be amazing. Top 10 favorite artist of mine.

We prefer musicians that are actually playing instruments

Either I am officially old or that sounded like the same bad song for 15 continuous minutes

Jay-Z is like 48 not helping your case there

 

[Zues1]

This cat put up the money for his performance

The last interesting one was the Janet Jackson nipple halftime show of the Colts-Bears Super Bowl February 2007.

That was Panthers-Patriots Super Bowl

 

[VOLnVANDYland]

The finale salvaged something.. but good lort...

Atleast I didnt say Boney M.

All though boney m would have killed this stadium with some crazy like a fool.

 

[PA Vol]

Prince, Michael Jackson, RHCP, Mars, the Who just off the top of my head.

Hell even Black Eyed Peas was decent.

This is baaaadddddd.

I thought people panned The Who performance? I do remember the Prince one, now that you mentioned it. That was good.

 

[BreatheUT]

What was going on with Romo's pants?

Wrong year.

Colts-Bears halftime show was Prince.

 

[zjcvols]

I thought people panned The Who performance? I do remember the Prince one, now that you mentioned it. That was good.

The Who one was beyond awful and the Black Eyed Peas was also bad.

Prince is the GOAT and my favorite 80’s artist by far and his show was also awesome.

Think it was due to backlash from Jackson and them picking a safe old rock band.....if my memory is correct.

 

[Plecoptera]

I'd love to see Iron Maiden or Sabaton do a halftime show.
