    it doesn't look like their putting that much effort into the singing yet it's coming out perfectly.

    they're bouncing around and there's no fluctuations in their voice.

    it sounds exactly like the cd.

    that's all i can think of for now

    and when she first went into the crowd with the people at first it looked like she forgot she was supposed to be lip synching for a second hehe. .. and its pretty obvious she is when you dont hear any sound from all those people around her when she left the stage

    Well, when she started walking through the crowd and didn't even bother moving her lips to the words for a few seconds, that kind of gave it away...

    Crappy Superbowl
    Crappy Superbowl halftime
    Mostly crappy Superbowl commercials
    Crappy performance by Steve Francis in a crappy Rockets loss...

    WORST....SUNDAY....EVER!

    Any Sunday with a football game being televised is a good Sunday. Remember that over the next few months when we're all forced to spend our Sundays watching crappy reruns on TV and being bored out of our minds.

    No more Saturday/Sunday football marathons for months.

    I think I may be depressed.

    Lip sync is wussy, but you couldn't even hear no doubt. Which is why I thought they stunk.

    Michelle Branche has always sucked live. Trust me. You were lucky to get the lip sync. But her performance with Santana was my favorite.

    I always like Bon Jovi, but I'm biased cause I got his home phone number from my brother in law.

    The one thing I've been wondering: did the guy who publishes Maxim produce the Super Bowl?

    I mean, a quick look at the line up:

    Celine Dion
    Dixie Chicks
    Shania Twain (doing "Man, I Feel Like a WOMAN")
    No Doubt (doing "I'm Just a GIRL")
    Sting (doing a hit from the 80's - he also did Roxanne during the pre-game)
    Bon Jovi doing the postgame
    Styx during the pregame
    Half-naked women in nearly ever commercial
    Beer commercials dominating the timeouts

    It's like a 34-year-old, former frat guy decided to re-live his glory days in the 80's and broadcast them on ABC during the Super Bowl.

    Gee, why would the NFL EVER want to gear it's programming towards 34 year old males?!?! :D

    You work at home...Watch a couple hours of daytime soap operas and count the number of commercials for cleaning supplies and feminine hygeine products....

    Yep....and the funny thing is that they pay people big bucks to show them how to market themselves. I could have told them for almost free: More beer, More T&A, something to appeal to the few football chicks that doesn't offend the real market, and.....more beer and T&A.

    Yeah, but isn't the Super Bowl supposedly the most watched sporting event in the world? I understand this attitude for a normal Sunday game, but this is the game that used to have Up with People as the halftime guest and the groundbreaking commercials like Mean Joe Green or Macintosh's destruction of the Evil Empire.

    I've got to believe that there are more children and women watching this game than any other football game, maybe any other sporting event throughout the year. Yet, even Monday Night Football doesn't seem this slanted.

    Just a quick note on the commercials. We don’t get the same ones in Canada, or most other places I suspect. They replace them with local ads. Some stations run highlight packages of them later, so we do get to seem them, just not during the game.

    OK musicians, what do you think???

    Personally, I don't see anything wrong with vocals not coming through perfectly, but maybe Shania was live afterall.

    I saw this on another board (total-cfl.com if you happen to be a CFL fan). It seemed to me that there was a lot of tape and not much live, but I could be wrong. Apparently they lip-synch to a metronome in their ear so perhaps they’re on beat enough to be able to fade between live and tape without it being noticeable, but that seems like it would be pretty tricky to me.

    I'm trying to understand how Jeff connects Maxim magazine to Celine Dion or the Dixie Chicks.

    If they had a pregame assassination of Celine Dion, then maybe Maxim would have sponsored that.

    All Superbowl halftime shows bite.

    SNL was hysterical.

    "Gollum loves Tampa Bay"
    "GOLLUM HATES THE BUCCANNEEEEERS!!!!"


    Speaking of halftime commercials, all those anti-pot ads were somewhat comical when you realize that you could easy put "beer" in place of "mar1juana" on them.
