Not sure why, but if you want to listen again you can. Always here about how bad it was.

Don’t watch the show. Never anyone I’m interested in watching.

It’s a great time to take a dump.

I would like to watch the Jennifer Lopez performance. I wonder if it will stream worldwide.

Well the one with Prince singing in the rain in Miami was epic. Can’t name another good half time show.

That was definitely something else! Purple Rain is a favorite song of mine. Always has been. But that particular performance of it...by far my favorite!

Prince was amazing, Gaga a few years back was also amazing, really enjoyed her show.

Probably one of the more memorable SB performances I can remember.

Most other years, I have mainly tuned out once the teams head to their respective locker rooms.

Haha yeah the guy's a superstar, no doubt about it. I'm hoping we keep him for the duration of his career like the Patriots did with Tom Brady.

WTF even is a “visual album”? Is this a new and complicated way of referring to a music video? What am I missing here?

 

[dazz87]

Who would you pick?

Mmm couple of bands like Guns N' Roses or Aerosmith.

 

[44267547]

Who would you pick?

Justin Bieber. Everyone loves the ‘Biebs’, it’s a known fact.

I would rather sit in a room with no windows watching paint dry for 12 hours before I would ever watch a performance on him.😁

I think they were trying to get artists with hits from this millennium.🤪 Yes, I know “Jaded” is from 2000. Yes, I did my Wikipedia research before posting this.

OK Grandpa.

better than any of these crappy artists we have now........

Okay boomer 😂

 

[Allyance]

Think Lady Gaga did a great job considering the pain she was in due to fibromyalgia, it is not just the music, but the performance. Has to be more than just a concert.

I'd venture a guess it'll be a series of music videos, one per song, in an album, arranged so you can play individual songs, or run the whole "album" through to get the entire original performance.

 

[dumastudetto]

Half-time show is legendary and its great to know we'll be able to relive the moment on Apple TV.

Considering Pink Floyd made one in 1982 and Eurythmics made one in 1987—I'd say it's not "new and complicated".

I unironically love the Biebs. Can’t wait to throw a few hundred dollars at him later this summer when he goes on tour.
