Bruce Springsteen and his band just performed at halftime of the Super Bowl. They played four songs, including "Glory Days" and "Born to Run." What did you think of the performance?

I'm not really a Bruce fan but it was enjoyable. I was watching more for Max and LaBamba though
1i changed the channel. even though he won a GG the other day for his song, i'm still not compelled to watch him during the 1/2 time show. i think that they should have done what they did in the past and do a duet...pair him up with someone who's relevant right now.
2I liked it. I don't often listen to Bruce Springsteen, but I enjoyed it.
3Sorry I'm so bored with the Super Bowl I'm watching Puppy Bowl instead. I bet even Mickey Rourke would rather watch Puppy Bowl, even though Springsteen wrote the song for the movie Rourke just won Golden Globe's best actor award. Remember just a few weeks ago when Rourke made his acceptance speech: "...sometimes when a man's alone, that's all you got is your dog." Rourke's got the names of his seven dogs etched inside one of his rings: Loki, Jack The Great, his "wife" Angel, Chocolate, Mow Zone, Knee Knee and Rome. If you want to know how he actually gave one of his chihuahuas mouth-to-mouth resusitation for 45 minutes, read:

4I loved it! I love his energy! He was amazing!
5uh Sharon what does Mickey Rorke and his dogs have to do with anything?
6Oh gosh, it's probably a bad sign that I was completely sober the whole game, and left right after helping clean up, and I came home and couldn't remember who had performed. Leave it, it was boring.
7Better than the usual half-time show, for sure. But the game was THE best part of the night. Yay Steelers!
8that was such an awesome game!! I thought Bruce Springsteen was awesome, we actually kicked people out of our party because they came over and tried to watch the tennis. they came to a superbowl party! hello! he rocked the house yay Steelers!!!
9We didn't watch the halftime show. They had a special Wipeout episode that had us cracking up!
10It wasn't all that entertaining, honestly, I was laying on the couch and fell asleep during the halftime show. Not a good sign, not at all.
11It was okay. Prince really nailed it, though.
12Does it matter that Springsteen has no friggin' voice left?
He CAN'T sing, and wouldn't make it past the first round of American Idol.
The half-time show SUCKED!
How 'bout next time they get someone who can sing - to, uh, SING! The decision-makers seem to be in the habit of bringing on legends like Springsteen and McCartney, even though they're well past their prime.
No matter how BIG they are or how great they were in their heyday, if they can't sing NOW, they shouldn't be headlining the SuperBowl.
13I thought it was great...Bruce Springsteen is my mother's favorite singer, so I grew up on his music. He's not really a personal favorite of mine, but I *do* enjoy listening to him perform.
14It was pretty decent although the best part was when he slid into the camera on the side of the stage. His face afterward was priceless
15I have no idea whteher it was enjoyable or not because I finished some house work and took a shower during halftime. I had no interest in watching the Boss.

17Loved it - it was so fun and high energy!
18OH NO!! That was so painfully embarrassing to watch! Who wants to see some old guy throw guitars, jump onto pianos and slide his crotch across the stage while pretending he's young?! It was beyond horrible!! I cringed the entire time between my spurts of laughter. What a mess.
19It was good. The Boss can still Rock. He is a great Entertainer. Even My Husband who does not like him can he did a great show.
20I didn't watch it. I switched to the Puppy Bowl's Kitty Halftime show. Although that bored me to tears as well, it was hilarous watching my cat watch the TV... and try to get into the TV.
21Leave it!! I wasn't entertained or impressed.
22It was way boring. It was pretty funny when he slide right into the camera guy, but that was it.
23never been a fan of bruce. actually, i find it him quite annoying.
24It was good entertainment and a good "show", but it's really disappointing when even "The Boss" lip synchs all but one song (Glory Days).
25Ever since the Janet episode they have had the worst line up of acts. Remember when there were CURRENT hit makers like No Doubt on the ticket? Seriously...let's get someone who isn't hitting the early bird special at Denny's!
26The best part was when he slid down the stage and knocked into the camera. The look on his face was hilarious!
27Bruce rocked. He kept a light, fun-spirited attitude, and gave 110%, unlike some of the recent half-time shows, where all the music is pre-recorded, and the performers just sashay back and forth, doing intricate choreography (Brittany, etc)
28Prince was good, but Bruce ruled.
Wow--I have to agree with ilanac13's comment! If they have to have someone as washed up as Springsteen perform at the Superbowl, they should have paired him up in a duet with someone who's actually relevant right now. Maybe they could have found someone who's just released an album that gets five stars from Rolling Stone and is number one on the UK's charts? Or they could have gone a different direction and found someone who just won a Golden Globe for best song? Or maybe a completely different direction and gone with the musician who recently set the tone for the Inaugural Concert with an extraordinary performance?
Oops. Nevermind.
29Leave it.
They should have had something NEWER and FRESHER...maybe more than ONE performer?!
Super Bowl commercials and half-time shows are sadly declining in my book.
I'm a Miller Girl but Bud needs to ditch the horses and bring back the frogs!
30Coldplay and JayZ collaborated....why not them?
31I watched, but it was terrible. especially the posturing, the crotch dive into the camera, etc etc.
32Love and Hate are both too strong words, I'm somewhere in the middle.
33I thought Bruce rocked the show. It was fun and full of energy. The songs are also classics.
