People at my (stuck up, egotistical, only-do-what's-"hot") school were going around saying "That was the gayest halftime show ever." Number one, I hate it when people call something 'gay'. Number two, IT WAS PAUL, DANGIT! I went into a "It was most certainly NOT!" spiel the first few times, then just resorted to my all-purpose phrase to all Beatle naysayers: "Eff you."

Baha I switched channels last night, and there was Paul McCartney in his bright red sweater, on the tv. I screamed and crawled over to the tv.

People at my (stuck up, egotistical, only-do-what's-"hot") school were going around saying "That was the gayest halftime show ever." I heard that 28328323 times today. "I fell asleep, it was so boring!" I was like ugh, go away. |

I heard all these crappy reviews on halftime at school today. I was like f*** off. It was great. But one of my friends, who's anti-Beatles, said that was the best halftime she'd ever seen |

Thanks Min for posting those great pictures!!! Okay, let me show you something. Normally I'm not an agressive girl (except against Icee and Crow sometimes   ) but now I really feel the need to slap this woman or kick her in the ass. Paul McCartney's safe halftime show offended no one, but bored many
His performance appeared to be aimed at pleasing FCC, not the TV audience.
By Mekeisha Madden / The Detroit News
Rock legend Paul McCartney proved that safe isn't always a good thing.
No, McCartney didn't flash a mammary gland, a la Janet Jackson, but more jaded viewers might have preferred that than the boredom they endured. The Super Bowl halftime show should be something viewers anticipate, not an opportunity to finally check the batteries in their home's smoke detectors.
By the time McCartney, 62, sang "Hey Jude," even the young people who were presumably paid to cheer and clap in the front row seemed to suddenly go off the clock.
Not even McCartney's stiff-armed wave could pump life into this performance.
The Fox network and NFL officials wanted a squeaky clean halftime show and they got it in spades. The most controversial part of the one-time Beatle's show was McCartney's cross-shaped stage. Maybe that could offend non-Christians or something?
This wasn't even a show custom made for classic-rock lovers or families. Clean doesn't have to be dull. McCartney's show was clearly for the Federal Communications Commission. Hopefully it enjoyed the show.
For the FCC and parents alike, anything is probably better than pop singers Justin Timberlake's and Janet Jackson's sheepish looks after he ripped off her latex breast plate.
Fox even passed on a beer ad that mocked the wardrobe malfunction. (CBS, the network that aired last year's Super Bowl, got slammed by 540,000 complaints to the FCC and thousands of dollars in fines that it and its affiliates are still fighting.)
There weren't any lip-synching controversies this year. McCartney's voice sounded authentically raspy and worn. Maybe he should have had a hot spot of tea.
The better show was Alicia Keys pre-game performance of "America the Beautiful" with blind and deaf children from the late legend Ray Charles' former school who signed and sang along to pay tribute to Charles.
Although the appearance of actor and former rapper Will Smith, who introduced the "America the Beautiful" performance, served no real purpose other than to plug his movie "Hitch" (oh yeah, he's from Philadelphia like the Eagles), the segment was the only redeeming show the Super Bowl had.
The very first show, which featured The Black Eyed Peas, Charlie Daniels and Earth, Wind & Fire, fell flat, especially when it closed with one of the Peas wishing everyone a "Happy Football" What?
But at least that was mildly entertaining, if confusing. McCartney was just ho hum.

Well, if they wanted some HONEST cheering and clapping, they could've called up the gals from the LIB forum; we'd have shown THEM cheering and clapping. You can reach Mekeisha Madden at (313) 222-2501 or mmadden@detnews.com. [/i][/quote] You can BET I'll be reaching her...I mean, yeah, she has a right to her opinion and all that, but really... |

I think we should all write a huge email to her...
my contribution?
"Uh, lady? Are you blind, honey? Did you miss all the people, young and older, screaming and clapping? Did you miss the fireworks? Did you freaking MISS EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THE DAMN STADIUM SINGING ALONG!? Don't be an idiot, honey. Dont be a hater, because you probably like some kind of crappy music that could never live up to Paul, or the Beatles. Or even Charlie Daniels."
God....WHAT A BITCH!!!!!!!!!1111!!1!!1
