Today, super bowl is THE most American event. Most watched, most money changing hands, most hyped, etc.

It is America condensed into 11 hours (Fox coverage all Sunday), and the half-time show is the pinnacle. Including the twerking.

If you want to know see America's future, watch the super bowl.

Some SENIORS might ENJOY the "humping part".

I’m a little puzzled by all this interest in a seemingly non event.

Nothing more American than that. Except maybe urban streets filled with vagrants and fentanyl.

You won't find this kind of buck-wild entertainment in (actual) conservative Russia or China, no sir!

Because we have the FREEDOM to do whatever we want!

USA! USA! USA!

Yeah...so this made me go back and look. I do hate the whole crotch grabbing thing. Think Michael Jackson started it maybe. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but watching the playback just now, I was taken aback. I don't think she was "sniffing", more like zipping her lips or shushing up. STILL....not classy, rather gross and totally unnecessary. Look, I like a lot of the music now, even some rap, and a lot of the singers. Where they mess up is not playing to their audience. I don't care for it, I know it's a "kid" thing, BUT the Superbowl was the time to show up with some class. Even the costumes and most of the dancing could be forgiven but any lewd gestures should have been left out for this venue. Too bad for her, I thought she was better than that. Of course, I remember Madonna on a bed in one of her acts on TV also. Anyway, just to be clear. I don't care for racism but I don't care for this kinda crap either. It is low class, for sure.

She's an amazing singer with a record of winning Grammy's. The stage was fantastic as was the production.
Sometimes I'm still amazed at the way people can be so mean.

How about Beethoven's Fifth with ZERO dirty dancing ?

When you have to say it, well that is how it comes across. Sad

I thought it was HORRIBLE! Totally disappointed. The half-time show could be so much more to so many more people watching. Seems like year after year they just keep going with the same kind of shows… the ones that only appeal to the younger generation.

I get it that all are welcome to express how they fell but all the negativity has become a mass that outweighs any positivity.
Yes its 2023 and the days of seeing performers we are "used to" have come and gone. The younger generation expresses themselves in ways many of us don't understand (or care to) but I remember when I was growing up and my parents would say much of what is said here on this forum. I may not be as old as some out here but it's be time to embrace some change and open ourselves up to new things.

Go Steelers!!!

My parent's generation hated rock and roll because it was "the devil's work". And the Beetles were blasphemous. And the Rolling Stones were godless socialists. And rap music would weaken the country and cause a civil war. And Elvis Prestley was a good guy who joined the Army and was a true American - he just gyrated his hips too much and maybe drank too much. Joan Bias was a communist. And etc, etc.
........Go Steelers....."Iron in cans means jobs in steel".......Long Live Rocky Blier and Franco Harris !

It was great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!no matter what tight asses say

[meme5x]

Totally agree.. thought it was inappropriate!

That was a good and educational post. Kudos. Twerking to the grave (or ashes).

Kids are still kids and want THEIR own SPECIAL music. I like that they seem to give a dung pile about the environmental mess that our GENERATION has handed them.
