He didn’t shine. Oops. Need to proofread before posting.
It was better than the average Super Bowl halftime show just because it wasn’t rap and Usher didn’t lip synch, as most Super Bowl singers do, but otherwise I thought it was boring. Today’s so-called “ music” is garbage, nothing but autotuned singers performing soulless modern elevator music. And that’s not just me trying to be a curmudgeon by criticizing anything that came after my generation. The advertisers obviously agree, because they constantly use music from the 70s and 80s instead of any of the current pablum.
I was talking to a relative who is currently at college, and he told me, almost all the students he knows mostly listen to 80s alternative music.
I thought it resembled a 3 ring circus with clowns in strange costumes and then I hit the off switch
Maybe we’ve reached a point where all good music has already been written.
Bruno Mars was the best I had seen in many years. Killed it at SB 50.
Compared to that this was as bland and boring as they get.
Mars isn’t too shabby on guitar, he’s not Prince, but not bad.
hated every minute of it

Don’t do too much hating. Not good for the long term life.
I hope so, but I doubt it.
Yep, it's like Classical Music, no new symphonies are being written, people just want to hear the classics.
We’ve reached the point at which the population is not educated enough to know how to write music.
Just look at J-Lo and Shakira and their tasteless pole dancing and caged children routine back in 2020.
Not my style. Buy I appreciated a marching band, roller skates, no Satanic themes right in my face. No uber-lewd moves onstage by anyone. A duet with that girl on the piano. A couple of guys in fedoras with canes.
I probably only understood about 20% of the words, but coulda been much worse.
No huge complaint for me.
Who?
Does he work in a theater showing people where the empty seats are? When the announcers said not to miss the half time show, I decided to miss it. I am very certain that I missed nothing.
Super Bowl Halftime is when all the white people go to the bathroom and take a dump
Now AI will start generating the music, probably will be an improvement.
At least the white guys do, the women love watching that stuff.
Hubby and I hated every minute of it.

Instead of sitting there hating maybe it would
have been a nice moment or two to get up and walk
outside, breath in the fresh air, stretch/exercise
the muscles for a couple of minutes.
Agreed. It wasn’t the best halftime show I’ve ever seen, but it wasn’t terrible. It was definitely safe, if a bit underwhelming at times the audio mix at times was terrible and you could barely hear the vocals. It looked like his face microphone kept bouncing around And they were having a hard time trying to compensate.
