MERGED-->ALL Superbowl Halftime show 2003 Discussion - Page 3

skirkham2002 · 01-27-2003, 10:03 AM

The bar is pretty high after last year so I dont envy anyone who's trying to match U2.

I was impressed with No Doubt, they always sound great live and are a really tight band (they dont get that much credit for being talented musicians but they are). Shania lipsync'd a horrible song, and Sting was good but seemed a little out of his element, looked like he would have rather been having tantric sex with his wife....overall I give it a grade of "C".

Desire4Bono · 01-27-2003, 10:09 AM

It was funny that U2 was good enough to stand on their own as "the" act but they had to be replaced by 3 others! I thought the "feel like a woman" and "just a girl" themes were dumb considering football is a 'guy' sport. Of course girls like it too, like me, but it was a dumb idea. Unless just everybody was doing their best known hit and that just happened to be it. Sting annoys me the way he rejects Copeland and Summers. He's a lout, and arrogant, stuck on himself windbag and he looks like a puke. I can't believe he really is considering snubbing his old bandmates at the HOF induction and they were asking Bono to sing for them! IMO everything he's done since he left The Police sucks. *hides from sting admirers*

Oh and did you notice they had the same brand of paid fake fans they used for U2 last year filling the audience?

Sting saved the day
Gwen was cute.

Shania was a Pop Star which is part of society.

that didn't bother me at all...she could have been singing Jingle Bells and it would still make me want to jab my eyes out with a hot poker.

joyfulgirl · 01-27-2003, 05:34 PM

So, there was like a game yesterday and stuff?

elevation2u · 01-27-2003, 06:32 PM

last year was great

no doubt about it, and it probably will be one of the greatest super bowl performances

and i hope i dont get beat up but as a big Police fan I was actually really pleased when Sting came out, gwen stefani kinda ruined it not to mention her voice during Just a Girl

.

I live close to the stadium so I really wished i couldve of just gone there to watch Sting

I thought the Super Bowl Halftime Show was the most original and entertaining experience I've had in a long time. It made up for a lame-ass first half, and everything from the jokes to timing was pitch-perfect. I mean, how can anyone say that the performers were missing their cues. Come on, Saturday Night Live's cast did a brilliant job

They deserve a spot in Super Bowl history for their coverage.

As for the OTHER Super Bowl Halftime Show, I didn't watch it. I'm not falling for that one again. I still remember how awful Michael Jackson was back in 1992 when the Bills played the Redskins.

With the exception of U2 the halftime is something to miss.

cujo · 01-28-2003, 12:14 AM

My country has been known to disown its "greatest" performers. I do not refute that comment. In fact I fully support it; on behalf of all Canadians, take our Shania, Celine, and Avril, and keep them for all your superbowls.

We don't want them (well at least the intelligent people who neglect the elevator renditions of "my heart will go on"... if I hear that again my BARF will go on).

Anyway that's enough from up north. I would now like to politely thank America for taking our unwanted and embracing them as their own pop stars.

I salute you

skirkham2002 · 01-29-2003, 10:20 AM

Cujo, dont forget the "Barenaked Ladies" another prime example of Canadian musical genius.

In spite of all these terrible bands/perfomers Canada did somehow manage to produce Daniel Lanois who, of course, really is a genius.

cujo · 01-29-2003, 03:26 PM

Ahh... I stand corrected, but there is an overwhelming supply of pop that we pump out. Sometimes I do neglect the quality acts like Lanois, Cockburn, and Joni Mitchell (I think she's Canadian?)... but they deserve better.

Bono's shades · 01-29-2003, 07:17 PM

Isn't Neil Young from Canada too? If so, he's another one your country can be proud of, cujo.

cujo · 01-29-2003, 11:43 PM

yup, he's a canuck too... I was just listing a few of our best. It would have taken a while to list them all. I'm sure we're proud of everyone deep down. But it's like Bono says about fame in Ireland... people walk by the big mansions and look up and say "Someday I'm gonna get that Bastard"...

something like that
