You’re not missing anything, it’s a kid’s program long past it’s best

It’s amazing the following it has though ... when I travelled to NZ in 09 most of the working hostel used to gather round the tv for it ... all nationalities and ages ...

As the guy with the most imaginary internet points to lose from the move, I'm totally for it.

Everyone should have the chance to talk on a level platform without fear of downvotes, just as people shouldn't alter themselves to fit in and attract upvotes.

So you want the count STOPPED whilst you're at the top?

(also agree with this though, it's better without them)

It was good, obviously if you are a fan you'll like it more so. For me, I think 2017 and 2020 were the two best I've seen though but that's personal choice. But then Jacko back in 1993 I could say too.

I had to Google who did the show last year. Was it really that good?

IIRC it was famously shite.

edit: wait a minute no I’m thinking of Maroon 5 in 2019. Last year was good aye, although I also forgot so maybe not so memorable.

Well I like both of them from previous. But what I'll listen to in which spans heavily diverse. Yours inside of rock genre fans won't see it but they might not see much worth it from the half time show.

I thought a mass load of effort went into it and it was great. I say there was more 'in it' than the jack 93 show but times have moved on from then now to what can be done.  But also, what half Time shows do we really remember?, I know there is no I wouldn't even bother with though. 

As Floorfiller said, Maroon 5 was shite but it's Maroon 5.

I've seen a few people saying that Prince's is the GOAT, but I dunno man. I watched it recently and it's very good but still just a medley of covers-fest.

It rained during Purple Rain, what else do you need.

 

You can find almost all the halftime shows on youtube since they began making it a thing back in the early 90’s,  so go and rank em. Michael Jackson? U2? Phil Collins? Shania Twain? Aerosmith? The Who? Springsteen? Gloria Estefan? Tom Petty? 
 

and Maroon 5 ended up doing it because everybody else turned them down that year.

    • as if by magic... (but don't tell anyone that it isn't that easy to just cut welfare and that maybe taxes will have to go up)
    • Lost my love of football years ago so I pay very little attention to it these days but I'm really enjoying Max Rushden's video diaries of his flat share with Barry Glenddening. I think Barry might kill him before the end of the tournament
