I like her and fine when her songs come on the radio, but boy was that a nondescript halftime show.

 

Then I go online and everyone's saying how wonderful it was.

 

Am I missing something?


She is clearly pregnant. Like 4 months or better. What more did you want her to do?

Yes appears so, but the whole production was flat.

What did you expect the talking heads to be like “yeah I honestly didn’t think she was that great”

Reaction on the net and a Google search mostly positive.

Was asking reaction here as yes usually interested in seeing the halftime act as the Bills aren't playing.

 

For all the hype it was one of the worst ones imo.

 

I thought it was a stunning spectacle. C'mon, floating stages? That's cool.

The whole floating platform thing seemed promising at first, but they went absolutely nowhere with it.  Her performance seemed flat and uninspired, and the Michelin Man dancers were ridiculous looking.  Not a fan. 

I missed Michelin Man dancers?

 

Thank goodness for YouTube.

Yes you are missing something because she killed it.

The NFL aren't idiots. No one act will please everyone so they choose the one that will generate the most buzz and appeal to a younger demo. 


I think there’s a real possibility they werent expecting something so flat when it was agreed to. 

 

if her own capability was going to be that impaired by the pregnancy, the contingency had to be to bring in a bunch of stars. Hell she’s performed with everyone and they were all there. 
 

there was some disconnect. Kanye going nuts, jayz having tidal as an apple rival, Eminem being in last years crew etc… all impacted the stars around her potentially. 

 

there’s no way that was the biggest show on the biggest stage that producers envisioned,

I’m not a pop hater… but… the stages were cool. The production was meh. She as a performer wasn’t particularly engaging. She left a lot on the proverbial stage. 
 

what did she personally do exceptionally?

She was clearly lip syncing most of the time. I think they had her live voice once or twice for a few seconds, but that's all.

 

There were so many times where she left the mic or lowered it too soon, but it didn't impact the vocals at all.

 

That's what i don't like about it. Don't be a wuss. Sing it live.
