Super Bowl 1/2 Time Show Opinion?

[russholio]

I haven't watched a halftime show in years. I get that everybody's tastes vary. Why can't they vary the shows to reflect that? Seems like it leans heavily toward rap or pop/dance club stuff year after year.

I did not watch it but lets be real, the intended target audience isn't going to be posting on JohnDee snowmobile site.

Sorry but this one’s too funny! On a side note I’m a Kendrick Lamar fan, have been since his song humble came out a decade ago. There was a much bigger message to the performance, and I think a lot of you would’ve appreciated the performance more if you understood what it was about.

I understood the symbolism, but most of what he said was completely unintelligible. For an artist to be understood, we need to understand what is actually being said. Most of it sounded like incoherent mumble. What I really didn't like about it was there no melody, very little accompanying sound or instruments (in some cases just clapping), just him rapping. Most of it really wasn't music, it was like a spoken word performance. I listen to all genres of music, including rap, I didn't dislike just because it's rap. But the interweb now says you're a racist if you didn't like it.

Very true. But we are also considered as a part of "Fly-Over Country" by the national media. Frequently ignored up until a recent election which proved our sizeable numbers. If they want more eyeballs on their commercials, and we know that they do. They may want to broaden their entertainment choices.

FWIW, Kendrick Lamar is the farthest thing from woke, and there’s a reason hardcore lefties are losing their minds over his performance. It’s not just the old white people who don’t like him

No gary, they don't care, period. And we will continue on being who we are, count on it.

53.5% players to be exact. The U.S. population that identifies as Black is at 14.4%

Okay thanks gary. I had no racist intent whatsoever, but was just curious, as I've never been concerned with it. I'm somewhat surprised it's only 53.5% as I would have guessed it to be higher? Seems most all of half time performers or whatever were indeed black, or of color. As for the 53.5% black players we all very well know why that is, as it's just plain talent. No way around that. The black, or of color College, NFL QBs has really came into being these days. No DEI as I can see. Goes back many years before DEI came into focus, being imo.

Didnt watch...Got started on my Hyfax R&R...Won $250.00...Really thought those 6-4 numbers were going to be junk...(3rd Qtr)

I did not like it, RAP is not my genre. I'm not a big country fan, but would have preferred it over RAP. Last 5 years SB show has been RAP. IMO, most of this is cRAP! It would have been much more entertaining if they put up a huge screen and played the best performances from years past because IMO the last 5 years sucked.

My family loved the show! I'm 39 years old and like Kendrick's music. A lot of storytelling in his lyrics.
NFL knew it wasn't going to appease anyone past 50 years old.. Any they don't care one bit.
Remember the "boycott" of the NFL a couple years ago? Neither does anyone else looking at the viewership. 126 million people watched the SB.
I agree variety is good though. I dj professionally and switching things up and reading the room is key. You cannot appease everyone.
