Be right back.
 
Verizon FIOS TV customers will be able to watch this (and the game) in 4K HD. That should add a whole new level of detail to this show.
 
Yeah, this is definitely an old farts message board. What the hell. It’s an old, fat, white guys, farts message board.

:eek:
 
Love Shakira. They could leave the other entertainer off the bill for my preference but Shakira, way cool and talented!
 
And it’s not like they’ve torn up the charts in the US during all those years.

Theirs isn't my favorite genre by any means, but JLo had 10 Billboard top 100 singles (4 #1s) and Shakira, while not nearly the same mainstream appeal due to her focus on Spanish lyrics, had 26 top 10 songs on the US Latin chart.

Both have a big following in the Latin demographic....but in the mainstream US market, not so much. Britney Spears has as many top 10 songs as these two combined.
 
I’d vote for a little Lucinda Williams just to shake things up. But I fear someone that can actually write lyrics would be lost on the SB halftime crowd.

I think they should have went to Steve Perry(since he just released his new music last year) and offered the gig for a Journey reunion. That would have brought the house down.

I went to two Super Bowls and saw the Rolling Stones and Bruce Springsteen and I have to say, it didn't matter one bit. Both were so so. For the Super Bowl you need an extravaganza. You need Katie Perry flying around or someone like Lady Gaga. It is about theatrics not music.

Live music is at best a 50/50 proposition - even the best live bands don't sound as good as they could in these stadiums. J Lo and Shakira are fine choices and they have a decent amount of hits to pick through. Acts like these, with recorded/piped in music, typically sound the best. And of course, both will bring some solid visuals ;). So, agree that Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Pink, etc. are the kinds of acts that are best for this kind of thing.

That said, I wonder if J Lo will bring out Iggy Azalea so they can perform this hit...

 
I liked it when James Harrison ran 100 yards for an interception return and then Springsteen played and Chris Berman said Harrison was born to run.

That was cool, unlike the last ten years of Superbowls.
 
I had hoped the halftime entertainment would be David Allan Coe, but I'll settle for Shakira's ass.

Just look at it. Look at it, I tell you. LOOKATIT! LOOK. AT. THAT. THING.
