BillyVance 34 #6 February 8, 2016 muff528 I guess I'm the only one who actually liked the halftime show. I'd missed the entire first half and turned on the game during the halftime show, and wondering just what the fuck was Beyonce singing? Something about negroes, mississippi nostrils and shit? I was just dumbfounded... Then again, 10 years ago Janet Jackson had a wardrobe malfunction that may or may not have been intentional... You just never know with the Super Bowl ETA: I figured it out with a little research... This is what she sang... and I'm going to assume she toned it down some for the halftime show... but still... http://www.lyricsmania.com/formation_lyrics_beyonce_knowles.html"Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanuckInUSA 0 #7 February 8, 2016 I became a Broncos fan in the early 1970s when I was a child (for a really silly reason) and as a life long Broncos fan I have suffered more disappointments than I would like to remember. But it has been fun to watch this defense this year. I am not about to say that the Denver Broncos 2015/2016 defense is the best ever. That would be wrong as it is extremely difficult to compare teams from different eras. But this Broncos team can join the list of exclusive defenses that dominated the game and won championships in past years. Teams like the 1970's Steel Curtain, the '85 Bears defense and the 2000 Ravens defense come to mind as similar dominant defenses. However the 2016 Broncos and 2014 Seahawks can sort of be compared as there is only two years separating these two dominant champions. In 2014 the Seahawks with the best defense in the league schooled the best offense in the league to win Super Bowl 48, and yesterday the Broncos with the best defense in the league schooled the best offense to win Super Bowl 50. The only difference I see is that the 2014 Seahawks offense was better than this year's Broncos offense. But defense wins championships and this was quite the turn around from the lessons learned with that nasty defeat two years ago. PS: half time show was pretty lame. Expected so much more for a Super Bowl 50. But I don't watch the Super Bowl for the half time show. I watch it for the game. Oh and now I need to recover from a day of poor dietary decisions.

muff528 3 #8 February 8, 2016 Well, I rarely listen to lyrics in these types of productions. I thought the "sound" and the overall production was very good. I usually don't even listen to the words of any song until I've heard it a number of times. About the memes. I thought the one about Newton handing more footballs to the Broncos than to the kids was priceless. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

muff528 3 #11 February 8, 2016 Just saw this on facebook ..."Peyton Manning has now beaten every team he's ever played at least once in both college and pro football ...except the Gators". Don't know if there's any truth to that, and I'm not going to look it up, but I'm going with it anyway. Maybe someone else can disprove or verify. edit to add: OK, Nebraska too.

The embellishments still made it a "performance," which it is not supposed to be. The National Anthem, as part of a ceremonial event, is not to be "performed" -- it is to be "sung" or "played." I just can't condone the personalization. It is presented to honor the country, not to draw attention to the presenter. That being said, yes, she has a beautiful voice, and for a performance, I'll admit it was an excellent one. When Jimi Hendrix did his rendition at Woodstock -- in that context, I say, go nuts! That's an appropriate place for a performance (it was part of his set, not a ceremonial lead-in to an event). So, if Lady Gaga wants to perform her version in any other venue and under different circumstances, I would be pleased to hear it again. I also loved her red eye shadow and blue nail polish.

Just askin.I didn't hear the World Series singer, but they usually sing it per the written score. Opera is a quality of voice, like playing a different instrument. It is correct if it follows the score. Marine Corps Bands (and other service bands, I'm sure) play the score as it is written, every time.

Just for arguments sake: . . . how can you say that the way you interpret how the notes go together and in your tone are the correct intended way. I suppose we'd have to ask the composer, and the lyricist.
