I thought the show was ok. They had serious sound issues, and the BEP probably aren't the best band to have live considering their reliance on electronic effects. I did think it was cool they were going back to the old style to where it was more then just one band doing a set of their best known songs.

I agree - Whitney set the bar pretty damn high.
Jennifer Hudson came pretty close, though.

The BEP were horrible. They are NOT a live band. For me, the best halftime show in recent memory was Prince. My Gawd, that was an awesome show!
CA singing the Anthem was a FAIL from the beginning. Lea Michele should have done the Athem as well, I thought she was decent. Hell, a Glee halftime show would have been better.
Slash and the lightup costumes were the best part of the halftime show. I was excited when Usher showed up, but then he didn't actually DO anything besides dance a bit and say 4 words.

Usher is a tiny li'l dude. If Prince ever has a garage sale Usher can wear his stuff.
Slash was definitely the highlight. The BEP weren't great, but I am glad they stopped the classic rock trend.

I can't recall ever being really impressed by Super Bowl music and so I guess I didn't think of this year as exceptionally bad.
Christina did look like a complete mess, though...that part was exceptionally bad.

I guess I don't get why they recited it anyway - what was the point? Football is nowhere near as noble as the Revolutionary War.

I guess I missed the Declaration being read. Was this before everything, or was it mixed in with the anthem, etc?

The sound wasn't great but I LOVED the dancers in their white light up suits. It looked awesome.

the sound was horrible, 400+ people didn't get seats, Jerry charged people 200 bucks to stand outside the stadium plus 1000 bucks to park...what else could happen last night that Jerry Jones could possibly overcharge for?

Indeed! The best rendition of the national anthem I've heard was from a boys' choir at a baseball game a couple of years back. There was harmony, tempo, and no freaking "how hold can we hold the note on 'freeeeeeeeeeeeeee'".

Everyone would sing? Before my time... Now, some people don't even bother to stand.

That's what they do here! The athletes and people in the stadium (and at home!) all sing the national anthem. Love that!
