I'm sorry to bother you all, but I have to say this:

I think U2 just achieved the most awesome halftime in the history of football.

Who cares about the game (Go Pats!!!).... U2 was there!!!!!

Pretty soon it will get so far out of hand the game will be an afterthought. Instead of "did you see the halftime show"?, it will be "did you see the game"?

LOL! Well, since the Bucs blew it again and Philly didn't make it in, I have to say I am watching because of halftime and commercials this time around.

<---GO PATS!!!!!

A lot of people who constantly make it clear that they don't like U2 will say "No", but as a big U2 fan I'd have to say they kicked ass. The only bad thing IMO was that they couldn't stay out longer. ;)

While I'm sure some here would have preferred to see Britney out there lip-syncing again, I'd have to say I like watching people who have talent.

if it's talent you wanted, maybe a nice orchestra would have been nice :)

i don't really like u2, and this one didn't change my mind. the names in the background was cool though.

Yeah, U2 was pretty good. But I'm disappointed in the commercials. So I stopped watching about 10 minutes ago.

While an orchestra has more collective talent:

1) It's not something people are going to get hyped about at the Super Bowl.
2) I'd like to see you play the guitar HALF as well as The Edge. ;)

there are plenty of exciting classical pieces. there are plenty of bands with talent that i think would have been better there. clearly you think that they were the best choice, but i guess we're just different like that.

huh? i never said i could play the guitar, much less well.

ehh, it was pretty good, but that act is so overdone... It was like the elevation tour all over again. The heart shaped stage, the projected September 11th victim names.... the same exact act they've been doing the past few months. I was hoping for something a little more original & new.
