A Super Mess at Halftime at the Super Bowel

First of all let me say I am not a resounding football fan, but I do watch the super bowel each year for the half time show and commercials, but this year I was particularly interested because two great teams were playing each other and the hype that preceeded it all week.

The game itself was exciting and enjoyable I thought, but the entertainment was atrocious. First of all Christine Aguilera opened with the Star Spangled Banner which she's done before without a hitch, but this time she flubbed the words and at the super bowel no less which must have been a huge embarassment for her. Instead of "'O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming" turned into "what so proudly we watched at the twilight's last [unintelligable lyric]." Luckily, Aguilera had the quick, crowd-rousing "rocket's red glare" line to follow it up, which she nailed and got the packed Cowboys Stadium quickly on her side. Backstage she wouldn't talk to anyone and later released a statement apologizing to everyone for letting down America and said it was from the excitement of the big game. I don't blame her for when the whole world is watching you it is bound to shake you up inside. Don't feel bad Chistina we understand and forgive you.

What is not forgiveable though is that atrocious half time show by the Black Eyed Peas. It amounted to be one big headachey, noisey, screeming banshees with hip hop (rap) music thrown in surrounded by overly annoying special effects. And where did they get those hundreds of dancers in whiteTron like costumes that lit up dancing around the stage? Did they place an ad in the paper saying "Dancers wanted for the super bowel half time show. No experience necessary. Will train. Apply within."? To make matters worse they had Slash from Guns and Roses appear and he seemd way out of place and added nothing to it. You couldn't even see him up close or hear him play above the noise. Then they had Usher come out dancing and doing acrobatic splits to his song which was barely recognizable. Adding to all this annoyance they had to get politcal and added this verse (which I didn't realize until I read it afterwards) "Obama,get these kids educated/create jobs so the country can be stimulated." Why do these entertainers always have to bring in politics? Don't they realize they're political morons anyway? What a super mess this whole thing was. Check out some of the comments below and laugh:

This was the first and the last time I’ve heard them. Awful comes to mind. They should stay out of politics too.

You’re right. Must we be constantly reminded of “Dear Leader” both before the game and then in the lyrics of the half time entertainment? Honestly, it’s a football game. Obama should Just. Stay. Away.

They do look a little old to still be believing in the tooth fairy theory of job creation.

“Intertainment” (which is what the BEP’s provided) is a low quality generic substitute for Entertainment..

None of them are that talented and it shows in a huge venue like the Superbowl.

I guess no one stopped to consider that they are not musicians. They are nothing more than an overproduced product. You know, like the power rangers.

Zzz. That show felt like it lasted forever. It defined boring and yet managed to be tacky.

Next year’s Super Bowl half-time show will feature Clueless Comrade Barry, Dingy Harry, Nancy “Smiles” Pelosi and Hillary “They Were Shooting At Us” Clinton in black and silver KISS costumes “singing” (or should that be properly referred to as “mouthing”) the words to Государственный гимн СССР into an auto-tune mixer over a disco beat with 20,000 Useful Idiots wearing neon-like LED-enhanced Nineteen Eighty-Four Thought Police costumes and jumping up and down like Devo dancers on meth.

The press is just in a tiff that they dare say anything that could be construed as negative about Obama.

The fact this already pathetic band said anything sounding like support for the most pathetic president in our lifetime Obama GUARANTEED that they get a pathetic review when 60% + of this country can see through his BS and knows how pathetic he is.
