In my opinion, the NFL arrangers bombed on the half-time show, the music was not bad, but for those fans at the stadium and the general TV audience, the music was too deep in Hip-hop.

Was so lacklustre. Good thing the SB headline acts don't get paid otherwise KL would have had to return his cheque.

just because you did not enjoy something does not make it the worst.

the fact you think jackson was entertaining while separating him from the rest of the show speaks volumes.

I do not care for rap....barely understood a word of what was said....but I thought the presentation and execution was exceptional.

All the frantic dancing and jumping around is not entertainment.

this was well thought out and executed and told a story which i understand the genre is bout.

I thought the backdrop was excellent in telling a story.

it was artistic. samuel l jackson was added for you and others who do not understand that different is not bad. and you still missed it.

Best platform with the most eyes to get a message out considering the state of America today.

Kudos to the NFL for sticking with the plan.

Concurring, the show was so bad that I must be getting old but I couldn’t understand what this guy was saying and when did music leave music? Next year they should get some Caribbean artists, Rihanna, Sean Paul, Romain Virgo and some Soca stars.

Yes he was. Jay-Z and the other people in charge of halftime music and entertainment could have done a better job with acoustics and his mic volume but it is what it is. Kendrick was rapping about social justice, politics, oppression, revolution and the effed up state of the world. But it's sad his message went over the heads of many. cool

The half time show is the only thing of interest in these "super" bowls.
What the heck is it with running around a field with an egg shaped ball under your arms.
Mericans dotish yes. Thats a sport?
THey should use real eggs to make it interesting. An ostrich egg maybe! lol

Just be happy that you could 'hear' what he was saying. I couldn't decipher a single word. Maybe that's why I fell asleep during the 'performance'.

Not a big k-Dot fan but the show was excellent. Still I dont expect it to appeal to most watchers especially those of a certain generation. Its just that the general superbowl audience want a show where they know the songs and can sing along or at least know the beat and alot of people of a certain age only learn about Kendrick from Not like Us last summer so it wouldnt have the same appeal as the Rhi Rhi or Usher or even the Dr Dre halftime shows.

Kendrick's performance at the Superdome was heavily criticized by viewers who were left underwhelmed on Sunday night.


This sums up the show...big grin
