The media and a fair number of the people I follow on Twitter have been practically falling over themselves about Beyoncés performance at the SuperBowl.<\/p>\n

What???<\/p>\n

The vocals were muddy, and unintelligible. The performance itself was boring. Is it me? Or is this a classic case of “The Emperor has no clothes<\/em>“? <\/p>\n

A lot of my friends were asking if there were supposed to be poles on the stage during halftime. I must admit that I was expecting the show to end up with dollar bills stuffed in G-strings. I’ll grant you that if there had been poles on stage and G-strings, the half time show would have been far less boring.<\/p>\n

 Beyoncés a pretty lady but she’s no Tina Turner. <\/p>\n

There has been some criticism of Alicia Keys rendition of the national anthem. I’d agree that she sang it a bit too much like a ballad, but I’d have preferred to hear Ms. Keyes do the halftime show.<\/p>\n

The commercials weren’t all that interesting this year either. There were a couple of really cute ones but in general they were sort of forgettable.<\/p>\n

By far the best part of the SuperBowl (Aside from the ravens winning) were the tweets about the power failure. Here’s a small sampling.<\/p>\n

Ironic: this time around, it’s the rich people trapped in the Superdome.<\/p>\n

Obama was right. This is what happens when we all set our thermostats to 72 degrees.<\/p>\n

The power was out so long at the SuperBowl, Kaepernick had time to get another tattoo.<\/p>\n

Obama said Bush administration to blame for power outage at SuperBowl.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Check out Twitter for the whole stream, if you need a good laugh.<\/p>\n

Hope you all have a great week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
