Half Time Horror

Approximately 111 million people tuned in to watch the 2011 Super Bowl, Black and Yellow (Steelers) vs. Green and Yellow (Packers). Fans anticipated an intense, thrilling game, but did not anticipate the ghastly performance at half time by the Black Eyed Pea's. Back in the days of Elephunk and Monkey Business, BEP was a great new "phunky" band, however, they managed to ruin my expectations of them in this last performance. Let's start with the costumes, they LIGHT UP. I understand that we are in the age of technology, but really, that is over the top.

As the four belted it out on the stage, the field around them was filled with glowstick people dancing in the shape of arrow keys. I am not sure if they kept pointing at the stage so that the audience stopped looking at the ground out of embarrassment for them, or if they were actually part of the act.

The only female group member of the Black Eyed Pea's the G.L.A.M.O.R.O.U.S. Fergie. I have honestly never seen this pop princess perform worse. In 2005 in San Diego Fergie actually peed pants while on stage.

What makes me so angry about this Half Time Show was that Fergie absolutely ruin "Sweet Child of Mine" by Gun's n' Rose's. This song may never sound the same to me again. Her vocals throughout the entire show were either too loud or totally off key. I could not have been more disappointed.

What saved the hole show was Usher's appearance at the end to perform OhMyGosh. "Oh My Gosh, i have to save this half time show!". The good news is that the third and fourth quarter of the rest of the Super Bowl had every one at the edge of their seat with a three point game for the Packers. This totally put the Half Time Show Horrors out of our minds.

  1. Good blogging on the Peas embarrassment, Chloe.

    Are you sure Fergie wasn't experiencing "crotch sweat"? Ha.

    To make this blog excellent, "caption and credit" all of your photos here, right?

    I look forward to reading more.
