    Washed dishes at halftime but I could hear it. I thought her, hair do, was right out of a Dr Seuss book.

    I have heard that Ragged Old Flag somewhere else. Might have been on one of his albums.

    Dancers impressively sharp and in synch, best I ever remember for SB. Entire production was mostly entertaining. She had more hits than i remembered. However the butt cheek grab & hold and crotch rub with hand smelling was distracting to put it mildly. But I’m not really the tgt market.

    I’m guessing this was about that iffy defensive holding call in a tie game.

    The NY Post agrees.
    “Low energy and disgusting. Why did she grab her crotch, then smell it!! Horrible show for our kids,” a disappointed fan tweeted.

    Another added, “Apparently I’m the only person in Twitter who thinks Rihanna’s halftime show was terrible. Why is she touching her crotch in a show kids are watching? And why are her backup dancers dressed like hazmat COVID freaks that do those gross brain swab tests?”

    “Probably just me but I found Rihanna’s halftime show crude and lackluster,” one person wrote. “I don’t think rubbing one’s crotch and then sniffing your fingers amid a sea of pelvic thrusts-hers and her strippers-is art, much less entertainment.”

    I was focused on the lack of skin but neglected the dreaded pelvic thrusts. Did some people try to cancel Elvis for that, too?

    That was excellent. No country fan, but I was moved, though not to the extent of Nick Siriani

    Of course the HT show was another lip sync clown show. I can't stand artists lip syncing their own music.

    Perhaps the only redeeming factor was Ri Ri not even really pretending.

    Conversely; props to Chris Stapleton and Little Baby for actually singing live, without a net.

    It’s what liberal America wants and loves. Why promote peace and love when you can promote smelling your vajingo in front of everyone.
    Libbies just see the big picture. It’s genius.

    Is it a sign of liberal low testosterone to cry at a football game? He was crying for America, but also there is no crying in football.

    Her performance is getting mixed reviews on the web. Don’t think this will be remembered as one of the best Super Bowl half time shows. She looked like she just wanted it to be over.

    I'm going to have an interesting conversation with a client of mine on Saturday. He is the senior vp of standards and practices at Fox. He is the censor.
    I would bet money the crotch grab was not done during rehearsals. LOL

    I liked it. She hadn't performed live in 7 years so I think she did a good job. It was obvious she was pregnant pretty much immediately.

    Yep, wife loved it, but she is a big fan of his. He is getting a lot of props nationally, while R is getting mixed reviews.

    Not my thing. Cool production at the start. But not enough to keep me to watch. I flipped to the AKC Dog Show on ESPN after 2 minutes as it was just not for me.

    Add crotch h
    I agree but its a necessity in these types of elaborate shows, they’re running around jumping from prop to prop and in most cases not very fit so they’ve got to be gassed. More so if your 5 months preggers. I like the old school Big Bands like U2, Coldplay, foo fighter where music lakes center stage.

    I thought all the music was pretty low energy. Its the Super Bowl, where is the aggression, the excess, the crotch thrusting, the blatant jingoism? Instead we get tasteful, mournful acoustic guitar renditions of all the national songs like its an NPR tiny desk concert and a phoned-in half time show with no surprise guests. This one couldnt even coast on nostalgia like the West Coast Rap one last year. Even the flyover was all chicks. This is the future the liberals want. I give it a D+. :)

    Last year's sucked as badly this year's--just instead of having one still-in-her-prime starlet pretending to sing her music, you had like 10 washed up has beens make believe pertend singing their pre recorded piped in hits.

    Stapleton n lil baby--the stuff you scoff--actually sung.
