that was really sick with kids of all ages watching. Im sick as to what we have turned into in pop culture. That was just absurd. really sad day for CBS and America.

What can we expect from this style-over-substance generation, they of megalomania, hype, lyp-synch, trashy retro duds(looked like shit the 1st go-around), and songs written for by Diane Warren to be performed by lip-synch/no instruments played to weak dance steps taught by unemployed Broadway dancers.

Groban was good though during the pregame.

Norah Jones, Groban, Outkast(best funk since Prince in his heyday), and the White Stripes, are some of the few acts that the kids of today love, that I like.

Alt-rock, Brit-rock, Garage, and Alt-country rule!

The NFL also needs to ban fireworks at halftime, it never clears until mid-4th qtr.

Horsehoe - The ban fireworks idea is the best one I've heard all season. How dumb is it to pollute the air for 70,000 people.

Statement by NFL Executive Vice President Joe Browne regarding the Super Bowl halftime show:

"We were extremely disappointed by elements of the MTV-produced Halftime show. They were totally inconsistent with assurances our office was given about the show. It's unlikely that MTV will produce another Super Bowl halftime."

Give me a break - they're blaming MTV for this trash-filled half-time show??? M-T-V??? What the fuk, the NFL never saw an MTV Awards show? Didn't see the Britney lesbo kiss, the sex shit for the young crowd? Had NO CREATIVE CONTROL over what MTV might produce for the biggest televised live event in the world (World Cup excepted)??? That's the NFL's and CBS's fault, not MTV - bunch of finger-pointers. Anyone stupid enough to lie down with dogs shouldn't blame the dogs for the fleas they leave with.

p.s. This show was tame if it had been on HBO or at a concert - my point is about airing it on world-wide TV with tons of children watching.

Wil, besides making folks choke on smoke every year for $500 per seat, you would think the networks & Sabol/NFL-Films would tell the Commish that it kills viewing quality & makes for bad future film archives.

It barely clears outdoors any better than it doesn't in Domes.

Damn right. What do you expect from pop-music? The entire industry is based on marketing and hype. If you want more money/attention, you just gotta kiss Madonna, get naked, etc.

Hmmmmmmmmm. Maybe Janet was jealous of all the attention Michael has received in the last couple months?

You're right, shoe - I was watching it in high definition and a guest was asking what's wrong with your picture - and people were buying high-def TVs just for the Super Bowl. Let's not forget the bad shape of the field where people were slipping all over during the game.

When the NFL refers to "elements", I think that's the nice way of saying "Janet's booby". Other than Janet's booby, the halftime show wasn't any worse than the last 2-3 years.

I'm sure MTV had to provide CBS/NFL with a script. And I'm sure Janet's booby wasn't in the script. But did MTV know that Janet's booby was gonna make an appearance? We'll probably find out in the next couple days.

lol, well, I have to admit I missed the last few half-time shows, but I'm referring to the lyrics they were singing that were about sex and the freaky sexy costumes (lingerie/bondage(?)-like) that Janet's dancers were in - as I said, tame as shit except when kids are watching - CBS is going to be inundated with complaints on this one.

Whatever happened to "Up Up with People", or "We are the World"?

Brit-rock is the best. Blur, Radiohead, etc.

If they had booked Radiohead, none of this would've happened. I seriously doubt Thom Yorke would've exposed his booby. Hmmmmmmm. Then again, Yorke probably would've told the audience that they're living in a fantasy world and the big corporations are gonna eat us and enslave our children.

Granted, he would have a somewhat valid argument, but I'm sure the corporate sponsors would call CBS and tell them to get Yorke off the stage.

Another example of more not being better...WTF, this is not the MTV Music Awards? This hip hop sh1t sucks! I turned it off when I saw Janet and Justin, like someone said Vince Lombardi would be turning in his grave...

Atleast Aerosmith had the balls to do it live...And did a good job....

The only halftime show I ever felt was worth they hype....U2 a couple years ago singing "Where The Streets Have No Name" ,while the scrowl of WTC victims wound skyward!! Now that was quite a performance!

Not this RAP CRAP BS, this halftime show sums up where the NFL has gone, between this and the endzone celebrations which have turned into personal commercials, something has to be done to get back to just playing the game...This game was a great showcase all by itself, we didn`t need Janet Jackson`s staged tit to spring out!

Al Sharpton has some words of advice for Travis Scott.
Earlier this week, it was reported that the ASTROWORLD rapper was tapped to perform at the Super Bowl 2019 halftime show, alongside Maroon 5. Though Scott's involvement has not been confirmed, many people have expressed their disappointment in the move and have encouraged the Houston emcee to bow out of the event. Sharpton echoed these concerns during a brief chat with TMZ, insisting Scott's halftime performance would effectively endorse Colin Kaepernick's unjust treatment.
The civil rights activist urged Scott to follow in the footsteps of other entertainers who have chosen to boycott the Super Bowl. Celebrities like Rihanna and Cardi B have reportedly rejected halftime show offers out of support for Kaepernick, who was allegedly blacklisted by the NFL for his on-field protests against police brutality and racial discrimination.
"I think anyone that goes into the halftime show is in effect directly violating those that want to raise the question that the NFL should come to terms with what they have done and continue to do to Colin Kaepernick and those that protest on criminal justice issues," Sharpton said, suggesting Scott's participation would be hypocritical. "[...] You can’t tell people to stand for those that take a knee and don’t go to the games and then say 'but somebody ought to perform there and entertain.' You're drawing TV viewers, you're bringing supporters, and I think that you can’t have it both ways [...] You can't fight Jim Crow and then sit in the back of the bus."
You can check out Sharpton's full comments above.
Meek Mill has also weighed in on Scott's reported Super Bowl performance, insisting he is cool with the rapper but didn't understand why he would accept such a gig.

Variety also reports that JAY-Z has tried to convince Scott to back out of the performance, which makes sense considering Hov has become one of Kaepernick's most vocal supporters.
Scott has yet to address the reports about his rumored Super Bowl performance. The game will go down Feb. 3 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
