I thought the reading of the declaration of independence during the fox superbowl pregame was particularly nice. Tastefully done I think, not too showy, and certainly better than past ones that have featured various hollyweird celebrities doing the same old same old.
They even took a little time to do a real interview of Pres Obama but except to note that he seemed irritated that he had to dress in a suit to watch the game, I won't mention what else he said due to rule #14 :)
What did YOU like or dislike about this year's superbowl pregame? I'm glad I tuned in, if for nothing else but the reading.

Worst. National. Anthem. Ever.

I hate it when people try and make the national anthem sound like a pop song. Its the national anthem, show some respect.

I think she got the words wrong too. Wasn't listening too closely but my brain stuttered about halfway through and it sounded like she totally messed it up.

don't call him Shirley :furious

Say what you will about Whitney Houston, but her performance of the National Anthem was by far the best I've ever seen. :aok. It seems like every else tries to do it as well,but never comes close.
Agreed,I wasn't really moved by her rendition. Whitneys to this day gives me the chills

She didn't sound any worse than if I'd been the one singing it... Plus that wasn't the superbowl. Rosanne probably shouldn't have been allowed to sing it. For a well known singer to ruin it at the superbowl though... Horrible. Someone should have told her to just sing it straight up, neat and as cleanly as possible.
Edit: On further review, the ruling on the field stands. She totally forgot the words and sang the same line twice, worst ever ruling stands.

whitney houston is very over-rated

Bah, another blown call from the replay booth.
I read all four of your words in your original post several times.

"superbowl" didn't appear in it. I'm lodging a formal protest with the commissioner.

See Rule #14

I'm gonna hold further comments until the post-game because the court of public opinion is far more concerned with impressions and the emotions of the moment, than with your mere "facts". Plus if I'm fined I can make it up with a little extra endorsement work.
I want to know how much Eminem made for the claymation voice acting. What a racket.

That was on cspan a month ago.
yea, but to read it here would've gotten it out to people that are blissfully ignorant of what's happening........ :noid
-
This halftime show is a good example of why they normally lipsync this stuff.
-
Worst ever. Wife and I looked at each other during it: "she forgot some lines".
I hate the "countryization" of the Anthem. Just sing and recite the Anthem.
-
Worst. National. Anthem. Ever.
Agreed.
Oh and the half time show blows chunks.
-
The National Anthem is about America, not glorifying Christina Angulera. It was horrible! I cannot stand it when they 'trick' it out.
Just say'n....
Boo
-
are they trying to market the Superbowl to 13 year-olds?
honestly, that ridiculous voice-phazer thing the lead guy was using made me want to puke.
angulera screwing up the anthem did make me puke :furious

Black Eyed Peas were better than The Who last year.

Blasphemy.
Drugs must be getting really expensive for Slash to perform with the BEP.
-

Agreeeeeeeeeeeeeeed!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Half time show was way better than last years. I liked Slash but no one can ever pull off Axel Rose's voice. I've never heard anyone even close so all should stop trying to sing his songs
On a side note I won $75 so far in office pool!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
they should've read the constitution too.
That would've taken hours!

-
Is anybody really that surprised that the "entertainment" sucked?
-
Half time was painful I don't know why they never bring in someone with talent.
They could go with anyone from Boston to breaking Benjamen and it would be better than the BEP
Or even bring on a skynard cover band and do freebird cripes that show sucked
Game was good though
-
I thought having SSgt. Giunta there was pretty awesome. :salute

Yes it was, but it was a disgrace for Christina to mess up the national anthem in front of him.
-
Ended up being a decent game and I enjoyed it. I liked the reading of the Declaration of Independence....that type of stuff always brings a tear to my eyes when it's done tastefully.
Halftime show....the lights were kind of cool but I have to agree with Choker.....My wife said the EXACT same phrase about no one being able to pull off Axel's voice.
The Post Game show was pretty poor if you ask me. Roger Staubach actually looked as though he was irritated by having to bring the Lombardi trophy through the players up to the "stage". I may have heard him incorrectly but it seemed as though he just wanted to get the hell out of there.
Final thought.....I was kind of shocked to see them do the presentation in what appeared to be a Stainless Steel "Extra Wide" Bagel Toaster. WTF was that thing they were on top of....I really thought that this was a giant toaster!

CNN reported that she claims she was caught up in the moment and lost her place. Well, if she'd just sung it straight instead of trying to glitz it up, it wouldn't have been an issue.
-

Agreed.

The game had to start sometime on Sunday.
So, who do we put on the cross for the worst National Anthem in super bowl history and a horrible half time show? Further proof the NFL is clueless about how badly they need to get LA a football team, the entertainment industry is tired fo waiting and starting to leave them behind.

Edit: missread this. you wanted both national anthem and halftime show. As far as halftime it was Aerosmith with ahem, N'Sync and god help us Britney Spears. As far as the anthem, anyone that tries to glitz it. Whitney Huston did a good job with it a long time ago but that started this trend of who can glitz it up more. Just sing that darn song.
-
I didn't catch the pregame, but walked into my friend's place just in time to hear the butchered anthem. As for the half time show...my god. I couldn't help but think how many young children (or let's face it, adults) would have nightmares about the box-head dancers and/or Fergie.
Ah well, at least the game result was good. I would have grown concerned had I heard Big Ben say he was going to Disneyworld again. A bit too target rich, in AH terms. :uhoh

Big Ben: throwing picks, assulting chicks.

I hate when they try to add a bunch of chords to the end of lines. The bombs bursting in air-yeah-yeah-oh-oh-yeah-yeah-yeah-woo-hoo-yeah-oh-oh-ohhhhhhh
-
Sing it straight. Don't try to junk it up. Your 'talent' adds nothing to the song.

We were cheering more that the Stealers LOST, than we were cheering for a GB win! :x
