MJS Posted October 1, 2021 Posted October 1, 2021 Maybe they should have people from multiple genres to appeal to the largest crowd instead of throwing all their eggs into one or two baskets. Not that it matters. Nobody cares about halftime shows. 3 hours ago, Chicken Boo said: In a league that's 70% black, it's about damn time! I don't think players are who the halftime shows are for. 1
Rocky Landing Posted October 1, 2021 Posted October 1, 2021 This is a great lineup. Snoop, Dre, and Blige are legends. But Kendrick Lamar brings current relevance to this show. And, he is amazing in concert. Bit of a LAMP here: I've worked on somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 music videos with Snoop Dogg (several with Dre, as well), and have turned down a blunt from him not once, not twice, but three times. 1 4 3 3

I'd rather see Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jerry Garcia, Jim Morrison & the Doors... Now that would be a halftime show! Maybe they could add Kurt Cobain for the younger crowd. Yes is still touring. They were California too right? What’s a Kendrick Lamar? Edited October 1, 2021 by Governor

Nelius Posted October 1, 2021 Posted October 1, 2021 (edited) Man I was kind of hoping for old elevator music Coldplay for the 8th time. Great music for scraping paint off your walls. Meh, they're all okay for the most part except Eminem who hasn't aged gracefully at all in my opinion. He's just too corny, a 90's relic like Limp Bizkit and Jncos. I can't take him seriously, especially when he squints his eyes and makes his please take me seriously face. Edited October 1, 2021 by Nelius
Draconator Posted October 1, 2021 Posted October 1, 2021 This is a solid lineup. I'll be watching. Hopefully my cat won't block the TV like she did for last years halftime show, which during that time wasn't bad at all. I had better entertainment watching her clean herself rather than watching The Weeknd. Good kitty.
reddogblitz Posted October 1, 2021 Posted October 1, 2021 Yawn. Not gonna watch it anyway. I have no desire to watch pop stars lip sync with backup dancers. I still think Weird Al would be great. 2

Country singers have been singing America the Beautiful at the opening pretty regularly. Luke Bryant, Carrie Underwood, and Faith Hill come to mind. Plus Kid Rock and Shania Twain have done the halftime show. Country is currently the 4th most popular genre in the US. Rock and Pop have been dominating all things music at the super bowl for some time, while rap and hip hop have been very much neglected considering they are the number one streamed music genre and number 2 in actual album sales. https://www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/nearly-a-third-of-all-streams-in-the-us-last-year-were-of-hip-hop-and-rb-music/ 2

I was actually get it ready to post about selling some memorabilia I got at the nfl auction at that super bowl on here. Then the next year 28 , I actually took mu parents to the Georgia dome and the half time show was all country performances. Bills were up at half and I went to get some stuff to eat etc, and halftime was not memorable. I do remember how the half started and then Thurman fumbling again and from that point he was out of the game mentally. Went to the NFL experience both years before the games and that’s how I got the memorabilia NFL auction. I was looking at stuff and Michael Jackson was in a tent right. Next door in Pasadena playing stuff of the thriller album! Will never forget 27 as the setting was beautiful ( terrible game) halftime was amazing. No way to easily leave seats in the rose bowl as you have to completely leave thru tunnels under ground to get to concession stands and people are really packed into tiny seats there. The Georgia dome was not so impressive and the dummies set off fireworks with tons of smoke pregame and the haziness never cleared to almost halftime. Yep , check google and history again , but you are mixing up performers. Have lots of pics from the Pasadena game because that setting is amazing. Had crazy experiences at both ( met jags owner Wayne weaver in Atlanta , had MEAN JOE GREENE , come up to my girlfriend on the plane flight to Pasadena and literally ask , as he was smiling , for her autograph because she looked like a young Hilary Clinton and she was on the cover of a mag he was reading at the time ! Haha!). Forgive me for correcting things but being at both was a great personal time for me and I still remember them because of the Bills and those amazing trips to those games. Best wishes, at least we both know how it felt coming out of those stadiums after the games ,,,,terrible ! Holy cow...I had to google it and of course you are right. It's amazing how memory works, or rather doesn't work. I can remember so many details of the Super Bowl in Atlanta but my brain apparently juxtaposed Michael Jackson from the prior year onto my memory of that game from Atlanta. Point being, I blew off the half time act. At least I remembered the pre-game show accurately. I am sure I also remember the hangover the next day after my buddy and I downed a bottle of JD in sorrow after the game. 1

Big Blitz Posted October 1, 2021 Posted October 1, 2021 This is going to be one of the best halftime shows ever. I'm not kidding. 3 1 2 1 1
MiltonWaddams Posted October 1, 2021 Posted October 1, 2021 When I read the lineup this afternoon, I was elated. Guaranteed that California Love gets done. I’m thinking Snoop does the Tupac part. Legitimate lineup of mega stars. I know it won’t appeal to everyone, but I am glad it’s not Drake. 46 minutes ago, transient said: ~~Checking Google to see when the Black album was realeased~~ Uhhh… it’s 30 yrs too late. 🤷♂️ Current Metallica sounds more like Nickelback than the incredible band that released And Justice for All, Ride the Lightning and Kill em All. Glad I saw them in the early nineties but don’t see the attraction now. 1 3
North Buffalo Posted October 1, 2021 Posted October 1, 2021 Meh, but I am getting to be an old fart... sigh.... who?
BillsfaninSB Posted October 1, 2021 Posted October 1, 2021 Let’s not and say we did. The halftime show, and many other reasons, are why I always liked the conference champion games a whole lot better.

That’s as old-school as it gets. Great set list on that tour, and of course that sick Battery.
Gugny Posted October 1, 2021 Posted October 1, 2021 I am not a fan of rap music, but if I have to listen to rap - it would definitely be Snoop and/or Eminem. I don't know much about the other artists, other than their names. I'm pretty excited about this, actually. I bet it turns out to be pretty cool. I've given up on anything ever coming close to the Prince halftime show. He set the bar and I don't see anyone reaching it. But everything Snoop touches is gold, in my opinion. I hope he gets the most time.
Freak-O Posted October 1, 2021 Posted October 1, 2021 If you live in Europe the halftime show starts in the middle of the night and it's quite the challenge not to hit the hay then since it's ridiculously long.
Arkady Renko Posted October 1, 2021 Posted October 1, 2021 Curious whether there will be a backlash about Eminem given some of his lyrics in the past (e.g., Kim, Criminal.)
