I didn't enjoy the entire superbowl. Not a single commercial was memorable, or with me right now. The game was sad and one sided, while the commentators just kept trying to suck off KC.
And as far as the halftime show, I didn't like it. Now, as far as the music goes, I never like the music. But usually the music at least brings with it some amazing visuals. It usually feels like the biggest performance of the year.
Instead, they had one move. Yes, the dancing in colors to eventually form a flag that waves IS pretty cool.....but you got a 20 minute performance. That visual is a minute at most. What else ya got? Oh, just a lot of dancers marching down the street.....still forming a flag. Oh, the majority of your show is the flag? Yeah, it was kinda cool the first time....but that CANNOT be your only move. I forget who was billed as the official act, but there was one that broke down into a whole bunch of singers. You had jay z and eminem, and mary j blige and snoop dogg, and it just kept changing styles. That one was kinda cool.
I think that's what I want in superbowl halftime shows. Larger than life productions where you get lost in the theatrical production of all, and it becomes an ensamble cast of artists and styles.
I want one where TLC leads into Lady Gaga, leads into Destinys Child, leads into Beyonce, capped off by GWAR.
Imagine that halftime show.
"Not a single commercial was memorable "
The fact that commercials are seen as anything else than annoying is already strange to me. But reading that it really is seen as an entertaining part of the Super Bowl takes it to a whole other level.
I despise commercials generally. But the Super Bowl is when marketers used to bring their A-game, with a very different feel from usual ads.
Now they just bring A-listers instead, put them on the screen and say, “Look who we hired! Now buy our product.”
