Bruce Springsteen's Halftime Show: Love It or Leave It?

February 1, 2009

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 thought Bruce rocked the show. It was fun and full of energy. The songs are also classics.

Love and Hate are both too strong words, I'm somewhere in the middle.

I watched, but it was terrible. especially the posturing, the crotch dive into the camera, etc etc.

Coldplay and JayZ collaborated....why not them?

Leave 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!

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.

Bruce 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)Prince was good, but Bruce ruled.

The best part was when he slid down the stage and knocked into the camera. The look on his face was hilarious!

Ever 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!

It was good entertainment and a good "show", but it's really disappointing when even "The Boss" lip synchs all but one song (Glory Days).

It was way boring. It was pretty funny when he slide right into the camera guy, but that was it.

I 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.

It 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.

OH 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.

I 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.

It 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

I 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.

Does 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.
