I muted the tv during half time....I just can't stand Bruce Springsteen and can't believe he still has a voice to sing with, the way he sings. His music sucks, imo, and we all know where he stands politically.

[Badeye]

I’ve never bought a Springsteen album/cassette/cd.

He was subjected to 12 minutes of constant derision at our Super Bowl Party, and yep, we all agreed a ‘wardrobe malfunction’ would have been much much better.

‘Boss Time’ my backside.

"I hope I die before I get old"

[Loud Mime]

Bruce put out a bad product and the crowd adores him.

Barak puts out bad government and the crowd adores him.

Some people don’t know what they’re gettin’.

[blam]

Bruce Springsteen has zero talent.

He's a joke!

[Frantzie]

Springsteen sucks and he is a stooge for Obama. Playing along with Joe Stalin parrot Pete Seeger in unforgiveable. Seeger and his ilk fawned over Stalin as Joe killed millions. Springsteen is a lousy song writer, mindless and repetitive lyrics about being phony working class hero down on the Jersey Shore.

I switched to the half time at the Puppy Bowl. The refs made endless calls for Pittsburgh and did nothing about ejecting Harrison for his thuggish actions.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

His fat @ss attempting to skid across the stage on his knees should be added. That was just embarrassing. /facepalm

[wbill]

Springsteen is waaaaaaay overrated. However, I always liked "Born to Run" and Clarence Clemmons.

So, naturally, they did a shortened version of Born to Run, and put Clarence on cowbell for most of the performance.

Of the songs he did, 10th Ave Freezeout and whatever that new song was....wouldn't even crack his Top 10. Idiot performer, selected by idiots = idiocy.

[oldbill]

Somebody actually watches these halftime shows???

[laweeks]

Anybody who hates this country as much as he does doesn’t deserve a second of my time. Plus, his voice stinks . . . always did . . . kinda’ like Michael Bolton . . . can’t figure out how he ever earned a dime in the business.

Still can’t imagine why that kind of nonsensical crap is allowed to invade the Super Bowl. Do we insert a football game into the intermissions of rock concerts? Don’t think so.

Between the completely destroyed National Anthem, the pathetic refereeing, and the deplorable half-time show, I’m glad I watched the Puppy Bowl . . . it made more sense.

[Fresh Wind]

An above average bar band from down the shore. That’s it.

[TennTuxedo]

The Band sounded tight and Springsteen put on a good theatric show. However, his singing was awful!

Springteens singing had me thinking that William Shatner sang better than Springsteen.

[Cinnamontea]

I can't believe how bad Springsteen was. Sheesh, if you're singing in front of that huge an audience, do them the courtesy of ENUNCIATING and actually singing ALL the words to your songs, not dropping every other phrase. Awful. Like an American Elton John without the voice.

[MomwithHope]

He’s joined the ranks of Mick Jagger, Wayne Newton and Aretha Franklin, singers who just can’t sing anymore - give it up.

[bassmaner]

At least he didn't pay homage to Zero or take a shot at GWB, as we all expected.

That said, his voice has seen better days. Clarence can still play a mean sax, but how dumb was it to make him bang on a cowbell? ...

[ClearBlueSky]

I don’t get football. I would rather watch bowling than football( and I don’t like bowling) BUT, I’d watch the Superbowl halftime if TED NUGENT played!
You want a ‘tear-em up show’, he’s your man!
Wrong politics, I know...

Springsteen-ugh. Can’t sing-growling and straining ain’t singing in my book, looks almost as beat up as Willie Nelson.
How is the Superbowl ‘entertainment’ chosen anyway?

[KarlInOhio]

Some people I was watching the game with insisted that the volume of his singing didn't change even though the distance from his mouth to his microphone was chaging during the first song. A good person working the board can compensate, but there is still a lag while he notices that he needs to crank up the volume. No change in volume at all is a sign that the singing wasn't coming from his mouth. I wasn't paying enough attention one way or another.

[SparkyBass]

#1: showing up.

[HungarianGypsy]

Except for him singing with his eyes closed and looking slightly surprised to see an audience when he opened them, I didn’t think he was too awful last night.

[N. Theknow]

2) He sticks poor Clarence on COWBELL.

Cowbell was appropriate considering the BS halftime.

Can't spell Bruce Springsteen without BS.

Who is the idiot responsible for booking halftime and National Anthem acts?

Thank you God for inventing the "mute" button.

[McGruff]

I rather enjoyed it because

1: He just shut up and sang. No praise Osama comments like someone else did.
