Super Bowl

[No Contest]

How about the national anthem? Christina Aguilera really screwed that up didnt she? Not only forgot the lines but did the typical r&b oversinging, which always sound like shit. Plus she looked a mess. The Black Eyed Peas had a bad halftime show as well. It wasnt horrible as far as visuals, but the songs I am sick of pretty much. These guys used to be a underground type hip hop group, now they have just totally sold out on all levels.

The Black Eyed Peas were poor I thought, I've never been big fans of them but they sounded terrible live. It was a good show with Slash and Usher coming in, but they're not the best performers live and those songs got boring sooooo long ago. With the national anthem though, I hear that the NFL had some timing issues and were over running or something, so she had to change it up slightly to get them back on track? Not sure if there's any truth to that, but she didn't sound great either

The Black Eyed Peas were never really stacked with much talent, except for the girl. What they have had is very good stage presents and usually just put on a good show. The problem they had was the sound people were completely off. Maybe they were drunk or something.

I heard on the radio that the Superbowl had 111 Million viewers. That is the most watched in US history. They said it was house holds and not TV sets. To put a little perspective on how big that is:

Ranked (15) 53.6 million - Super Bowl XLIV (New Orleans Saints vs. Indianapolis Colts)
Ranked (1) 50.15 million - M*A*S*H series finale: "Goodbye, Farewell, and Amen"[31]

32.30 million World Cup 1966 (England v. Germany) 1966-07-30 BBC1
32.10 million Funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales 1997-09-06 BBC1/ITV

Ah... just so you know, this is not world-wide viewership, it is just in the US market share ratings.

Which is why boxing should be back on mainstream tv.

Which is why boxing should be back on mainstream tv.

For mainstream tv, (Prime time) boxing would have to consistently do better than 4 million. 1-2 million will get boxing close to mainstream tv but your still talking cable or niche markets. Networks want hits on prime time which means they "want" better than 8 million for the finals or championship fights. If Pac/Mosley get 8 million viewers on a mainstream tv for a CBS network replay of the fight, then everyone connected to the boxing industry will absolutely go nuts.

The eminem/chrysler/detroit commercial was BAD FUCKING ASS.

3 turnovers, 3 touchdowns, that's about everything there is to say about this game, wouldn't it be from it, the Steelers might have pulled it, they didn't, I am still a bit gutted but the Packs deserve the win, fair enough said the man in deception.

Those viewing figures are amazing, I wonder what the worldwide ones were?

I think it must be difficult to get the sounding right when they have to rush to get everything set up on the field at half time, they don't really get much of a chance to make sure everything's tuned in properly before the show starts. The visuals were great, the stage set up, the dancers in front and Slash and Usher both coming in. But yeah vocally there's only ever been Fergie who has pretty good voice I think
