Black Eyed Peas underwhelm at halftime.(Everyone agrees they stank)

On second thought, maybe Usher should have been the headliner for the Super Bowl halftime show.

The superstar had only a brief cameo in the showcase, but his tightly choreographed moves and acrobatics marked the brief exhilarating moment of a surprisingly stale medley from the normally frenetic headliners, the Black Eyed Peas.

The Super Bowl performance was arguably the biggest stage yet for the quirky quartet, whose fusion of pop, dance and hip-hop have made them global superstars. But in the massive Cowboys Arena, the group appeared to be as stiff as frontman will.i.am's plastic hair hat.

I really hate this group. They play over synthesized garbage to hide their lack of musical abilities. Plus the BS shout out to Obummer by the no talent hack Will I Am was irritating. It looks as though everyone else hated it as well.

I was intrigued by their (and the dance crew's) electrical outfits... and the idea that a wardrobe malfunction could result in a fire or electrocution. The "singing" wasn't nearly as interesting.

I guess stinking is a real hazard when you have personal habits like -

WTF?

[Cedar]

Absolutely the worst halftime show ever. Who picked them anyway?

[shibumi]

Evidently continence is not one of Fergie’s strong points.

[Salamander]

Actual skit from the movies "Vampires Suck":

They bemoan the fact that everybody mistakes them for the Black Eyed Peas.

[goodnesswins]

the electrical outfits were the ONLY thing I found interesting....

[Salamander]

Either that or she was really excited about whatever she was singing.

[Salamander]

They coulda just duct-taped Redford on a horse and saved money.

Absolutely the worst halftime show ever.

The only thing about a Super Bowl halftime show that concerns me is how long it lasts. In this case it afforded me plenty of time to run out for some frozen pizza, so I was well pleased.

Note to the Peas: “Let’s Get Retarded” is one of your song titles, not your stage directions.

I did not watch the game so I missed The Oz doing a Best Buy ad.

Ozzy rules.

I’d much rather hear a marching band perform than what they had on last night. Terrible. You just can’t call it music. Not sure what it is.

[occamrzr06]

My daughter like it.

I told her, it was just 2 black guys and a white chick you can’t sing. The lights and all the other folks was just to hide that.

My daughter didn’t believe me and now all the PC people who don’t like you saying 2 black guys and a white chick are mad at me.

Why are these people even invited to football games?

[jla]

To 3 - I wonder if that was an accident or purposely done?

They say she’s done it more than once....

[dragonblustar]

The people in the white costumes and cubes on their heads made me laugh......then I was embarrassed for them. Not a good look.
