As I stated on my Facebook,I wasn't sure if I was supposed to be watching a concert or something on Cinemax. Overexaggerating a bit but I think you get the idea. Beyonce is talented and pretty,no doubt. It just came across to me that she was trying to make it a "Look at me" sort of thing the way she was performing. As opposed to what, "look at the floor"? I am not really following on this part. She is supposed to get your attention and hold it.

Didn't watch most of it, but what I did see was alright. I'm not really much of a Beyonce fan, though.

I'm not a fan of Beyonce or her style of music at all, but I thought it was really good. I also thought it was obvious that she was singing live over a backing track.

It was better than the last few years. I'm just glad Alicia Keys was AMAZING doing the National Anthem. Agreed. Her rendition was the best in while.

I believe Michael Jackson's and U2's halftime performances will always remain the best in terms of energy, excitement, and hype wise in my opinion. But Michael's will always remain the top one given how popular he was, the build up, and it lived up to everything that was to be expected.

It was pretty underwhelming, it was good but not great. I don't see why it matters whether she lip synced or not, it's not a Milli Vanilli situation as long as she's singing to her own voice who cares, especially since she was dancing too. As for the DC reunion, Michelle Williams was dancing like a senior citizen & their mics were super low I couldn't even hear them during single ladies. Kelly looked great though.

Springsteen sang live, but the band wasn't actually playing. He even admitted to this. bummer. guess there just isn't enough time to set thing's up? That is the reason, according to Super Bowl producer Hank Neuberger. He says there is just no time to set up so many musicians in just 5 minutes (which is the limit they have in order to adhere to constraints).

I laughed when Kelly and Michelle's mics seemed to be turned waaaay the f*** down. Logan Sama (Grime DJ) tweeted about it during the game, saying "Kelly got the par off mic. Big the MCs who know about Mic 3." Had me dying.

She was okay. Far from the worst half time performance ever, but not the best either. Beyonce is a decent performer, but I thought it was too much flash and not enough substance.

I am not really following on this part. She is supposed to get your attention and hold it. No,it was more the way she was doing it. It's the way she just presented herself. It seemed like she was trying for it to be more about her than the performance. As I said,she is pretty but it seemed to me like she was trying to make it more about her sexiness than the actual songs. The outfit she was wearing and just the way she would turn and make the expressions towards the camera just came across as something she didn't need to do. Someone mentioned Alicia Keys and she did it right in my opinion. Very classy. I'm not saying you can't have any sex appeal with your performance but Beyonce was just overkill for me.

I've seen plenty of beyonce performances and she did what i expected. I didn't expect anything ground breaking so it wasn't a letdown. I saw massive amount of candy for my eyes and that's what I watched for. She even went through the trouble of having multiples of herself for my perv pleasures. And it's not like her music catalog is filled with world crisis averting powerfull compositions. It's Beyonce.

Side note: Looking on FB/Twitter, I love how anyone that didn't like the show are "haters". I mean, it can't be that we weren't entertained by it. It HAS to be that we're jealous. Also: Anyone that uses the phrase "haters gonna hate" deserves to be tortured.

I can't stand Beyonce. So, I will quote a lyric from hers as to what I think of her popularity, "I can have another you in a minute. Matter of fact, she'll be here in a minute. Replacing you was so easy!"
Let's get someone who's sell by date hasn't passed next year. There's got to be a good Rock Band out there that would be good to put on there.
