Ok, the new commish really dropped the ball on this one. Who wants to see that freakshow perform in front of the biggest national television audience of the year, not me!
Seriously who wants to see him?? It seems like they keep going for older and older performers. First Paul McCartney and the Rolling Stones (which are fine with me) and now Prince.
they tend to go with household names versus current talent. Prince is a household name. The halftime show is just that...a show. They care more about the fireworks and displays and dancers more than the singer's voice.
Prince tears it up on guitar on George Harrison's "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"
