Yeah, that was pretty terrible. The vocals kept cutting in-and-out and none of them can sing without a computer synthesizing it. And the wardrobe was historical if that is what they were going for.

historical or hysterical? huge difference.

I liked it.. despite the autotune.. I don't understand all the Internet hate for it.

I pretty much hate all pop music.

Im not a fan of BEP but wow that was bad. Even my girlfriend who is a huge BEP fan and all my friends who were high at the time said what the fuck was that. The commercials this year were even worse with the only exception being the House commercial IMO.

Exactly the show I was thinking of. Prince rocked the hell out of that place, but he is talented. The micro-organisms in his shit have more talent than tbep.

The Doritos commercial where he started licking that dudes fingers was pretty funny

it was worse than terrible. i kept hoping it was the last song then they would start in on another. B.E.P. should stick to lip syncing.

When slash started to play SCoM I thought oh shit if axl rose pops up this will be the best SB Halftime. Then fergi tries to sing SCoM; and it got even worse.

I am with ya! I can NOT believe they allowed her to screw up a classic song! That was by far the lowest point, imo... sucked overall!

I didn't really expect an auto-tune rap group to sound good live, but since their mics weren't on half the time its hard to tell. That is besides Usher, his mic was actually off 100% of the time. I thought their glowing space suits were great but the sound mixing was just appallingly bad and jarring throughout. Usually when that happens they fix it but it just never got better.

Did anyone else sort of cringe at the jobs and stimulus line? Sounded pretty forced.

I actually like some BEP songs, but this pretty much devolved into an amusing train wreck by the end.

Christina Aguilera: Your tits are great and you can sing but please just sing the god damn national anthem without trying to hip it up or whatever it is they always do to butcher it.

it was pretty terrible audio wise, but visually it was pretty damn cool imo.

i also loved the 80's throwback dancing when they did the Time of my Life song ... everyone doing the running man owned.

I loved Springsteen a couple years back, and I even liked Tom Petty. The Who were terrible. This was embarrassing. And I like BEP.
