Worst. Halftime show. EVER!!! |
|
What corporate Reugnican drone put that abomination together? I know this was sort of covered in a couple of other threads, but they don't even come close to getting at how truly awful this was.
Kelly Clarkson. Who the hell is this chick? First her mic won't work, thank God for small favors, then when she gets one that works, it miraculously has 3 voices coming through it, one of which (I'm guessing the live one) is horrendously off-key. Not that the song deserved any better treatment than that, but I definitely agree with the guy in the stands who managed to get picked up by the TV mics during a quiet moment shouting, "Get the fuck off the stage!!!"
Trace Armstrong. Another WTF? "This song is about me"??? I've heard some hokey, jingoistic nonsense in recent years, but this POS made Lee Greenwood and Toby Keith sound positively talented and intelligent. Terrible, terrible, TERRIBLE shit. However, not the worst thing of the night.
Jessica Simpson. Some no-talent sister of a no-talent, manufactured celeb wearing some sort of D&S outfit as imagined by Pat Boone and the right Reverand Jerry Falwell, comes out singing a vacuous piece of pop fluff, backed by a guitar player in a mohawk and a drummer sporting a huge anarchy symbol on his bass drum. To make matters worse, she has the audacity to have a bunch of faux-Smells Like Teen Spirit black-clad cheerleaders "dancing" all over the stage. How fucking stupid do they think we are?
Good thing I got the satisfaction of watching the crowd boo to their heart's content when it was done, because that is 15 minutes of my life that I will never get back. I miss the days of Steven Tyler singing naughty stuff to girls who should be thinking about prom dates, or Janet's malfunctioning tit.
Even Eisenhower didn't envision this in his warning. The coup is now complete.

Not that I agree that there is anything to distinguish them from one another. :-)

only about 30 seconds of it....couldn't understand what was going on...or, for that matter what wasSUPPOSED to be going on....said a quick :wtf: and turned the TV OFF! went to bed early (I had been up since 2AM so it was probably a good idea).
Whoever scripts those half-time shows should be banned from producing ANYTHING for TV ever again.

I have no idea why I sat staring at my screen throughout.

.... the audio of Ms Simpson "singing" on Stern this morning.
I can sing better than that - the woman could not carry a tune in a bucket :)
She's had months to take voice lessons or whatever. I just don't understand who she is "friends with" to get her 15 minutes extended for so long :)
Pop culture in this country is as dead as the Dem party. If you want to find an artist, don't bother looking on TV or radio - they are just not there.

15. What was she doing???? |
|
That was just awful. She was yelling and screeching and grinding. OMG. I wonder if she thinks she sounds good? I actually felt bad for her watching that video...she looked so shocked when they started booing. Why would her dad/manager/whatever allow her to go on stage when she is so bad?!?!

16. Money, money, and more money |
|
Despite her lack of talent, she's made more in the last year than most of us will make in a lifetime. I'd be glad to make a fool of myself if I was getting zillions for it.

I wonder if this incident will quietly end her "career"? They haven't said anything about it in the msm. :shrug:

18. Her 15 minutes are probably running low |
|
She's not as attractive as her sister (IMO, others will probably disagree), and the "punk" act (she used to be a clean cut blonde when she started) isn't working either. I don't hate her or wish harm on her, but do think she is extremely overrated and wish the MTV culture would quit showing her.

9. What about the dancing football players in black? |
|
Yeah the Anarchy sign was hilarious...Mom what is that? I don't know dear they never talked about it on Friends :shrug:
Ashlee- See she is the BAD GIRL of the family. What you saw was like an open handed slap in the face to anyone who didn't get it before--she is being forced down your throat and you idiots are buying it. Like that is new.
Trace Armstrong-Good lord I am pretty sure they make jeans in your size pal.
Kelly-American Idol. Unfortuneately this appears on one of the TVs in my apartment, regularly. She appeared on the finale last year and looked like she had been on a 10 month pill/booze fest. She looked better last night.
