because of you i have to watch old fucks perform boring at halftime every superbowl and there will never be a current day pop performance ever again

2/3/2008 7:34:58 PM

2/3/2008 7:36:58 PM

Trade one shitty genre for another, eh?

i vote for a memorable outrageous pop performance. but not ashley simpson style. take it back to janet and justin. or just justin will do.

2/3/2008 8:37:01 PM

What is there to be upset about? Please name ONE, quality modern day pop artist who could possibly give a good performance for all viewers like the classic rock does.



YOU CAN'T!

prince >> tom petty

2/3/2008 9:00:12 PM

tom petty was great

2/3/2008 10:22:22 PM

they sounded tired. absolutely no energy.

until the very end... MAYBE.

2/3/2008 10:23:19 PM

I could either hear Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

or Hannah Montana/JoJo/Whatever worthless forgettable piece of shit won American Idol this year


I'll take Petty

2/3/2008 10:29:50 PM

YOU GET THE BEEEEEST OF BOOOTH WORLDS

agreed.

It's Tom petty you fags. He doesn't bring hardcore energy. He brings a great sound with better than average lyrics. Anyone who doesn't like Tom Petty can dig the dildo out of their ass and eat it.

OMG it WAS tom petty. well in that case, i take my comments back

2/3/2008 11:45:10 PM

do you not love america? are you a fag? i mean... those are pretty much the only 2 scenarios i can imagine where someone wouldn't like tom petty. and neither of them are desirable.

classic rock isn't for all viewers. maybe the biggest group since the average american is a 40 year old white male but there are so many people that give a shit about tom petty. if you don't like classic rock, you're screwed every year.

why not just do it like they used to. have some big stars from a few different genres perform, then have an oldie come out and join them instead of one persons concert.

and justin timberlake was great.

2/3/2008 11:49:10 PM

eh i'll give you wildflowers. but in all other tom petty respects, yes, i guess i am a huge faggot

2/3/2008 11:49:47 PM

^^ so you're in the fag column, then?

i couldn't care less about a half time show. i never watch it anyway. but if you don't like what they're showing, why don't you just change the channel. the goal of the super bowl is not to please everyone.

I know some shit... and one of them is classic rock. Tom Petty is pure fucking class.

2/3/2008 11:54:07 PM

tom petty was leaps and bounds better than that mtv shit they used to have.

leaps and fucking bounds.

2/3/2008 11:56:19 PM

sorrrry i forgot to jump on the trendy music bandwagon by badddd. dmb for next super bowl performance.

wildflowers. i bet a lot of people that listen to tom petty don't even know what that is. they prob just have the greatest hits and then talk about how amazing he is.

for me, this isn't a debate about whether or not tom petty is good. it is whether or not THAT performance met my expectations for the super bowl (which is typically about extravagant and/or memorable performances all around)

2/3/2008 11:57:58 PM

the simple fact that he played the entire time he had made him better than most. his performance was obviously about his music and that sets him above and beyond 95% of the people that could have possibly played the halftime show.

props to that girl that sang the national anthem though. that shit was good.

2/3/2008 11:58:30 PM

mmmmmmm

2/3/2008 11:59:09 PM

i hate when they stretch out the "braaaaaaaaaaaave" too long and change the pitch 435781367458 times during that last word

2/4/2008 12:00:28 AM

of course not
who does??

2/4/2008 12:01:13 AM

but her style of the anthem was definitely better than about 99% of the other times i've heard it at big games. she did a good job of promoting herself without completely butchering the intent of the lyrics.

2/4/2008 12:01:58 AM

^true. the only complaint i had was the way she did "brave," but definitely better than most natl anthem singers.

2/4/2008 12:03:24 AM

great performance tom petty is the man everyone i watched it with enjoyed it

2/4/2008 12:07:40 AM

remember when britney spears performed with aerosmith?
that was pretty bad

2/4/2008 12:09:44 AM

^^ periods are your friend.

2/4/2008 12:16:29 AM

betta have u naked by the end of this song...

2/4/2008 12:21:25 AM

i was pleased that the girl singing the national anthem actually had the vocal range to do so. normally, this is sacrificed for the sake of celebrity.

2/4/2008 12:28:42 AM

Tom Petty is awesome

2/4/2008 1:11:45 AM

what did he end up singing?

2/4/2008 1:25:14 AM

Tom Petty is awesome, but not football music.

2/4/2008 1:28:56 AM

^And Timberlake, Janet Jackson, etc. are?

It is a halftime performance isn't that the point?
