OT: Super Bowl Halftime Show
So since the game and the possible worst call ever are being analyzed to death, what did everyone think about the halftime show? I was surprised as to how good Katy Perry's voice sounded (and I'm a neutral listener of her stuff) and liked they didn't focus too much on her, well, chest. Though while I thought the dancing sharks and lion were cool, the effects were overdone. Pretty good overall still. Although it doesn't compare to, IMO, the best halftime show ever of U2 in 2002.

There Was One...
There was another tweet last night which had me on the floor honestly, and it contained an obscure Pokemon reference with regards to Perry's outfit. Basically, it was a still shot of her and then below that a rendering of Magmar, whose coloration was suspiciously similar to that dress.
"RT For Katy Perry, FAV for Magmar" or something like that. I wish I had saved it.

As I understood it
The NFL wanted a percentage of the performer's Box Office for concerts after the Super Bowl for a certain period of time. I don't know that they ever released details of the percentage or the time. The NFL's argument is they were helping to promote the performer and wanted a cut.

I think I saw an article a few days ago that she made it clear that she would sing most of it and only lip synch when it was necessary.

I don't know that I'd
call myself a "musician"; I mean, I don't make any money at it, but I perform regularly, and if you couldn't see that she was lip syncing during some of the close ups then you just weren't paying any attention. It confused me because there were parts where her lips completely missed the cut and it was blatant, but then later in the same song you could actually see her flex her diaphragm to match the inflections (so she was actually singing). I'd think switching on and off in the middle of a song would be more distracting than riding the "The More You Know" star, but she's a professional I guess. Either way, great sound or not, I didn't care for it. Way too over the top and weird.
February 2nd, 2015 at 9:34 AM
#58
Obviously
She was blatantly lip sync'ing the majority of that. Her voice was noticably different between the singing parts and the live mic parts where she yelled out to the crowd. Also there were parts where there was no movement whatsoever in her throat and upper chest while she was "singing," no variations whatsoever when she was singing and moving around.
This came up a couple years ago with Red Hot Chili Peppers not even having their instrumetns plugged in. They pre-record most of the live music at these events.

I'm not much of a Katy Perry fan, but judging based on production, it was fantastic. The lion was weird, but interesting nonetheless. Loved the 3d effects during the chess piece part. The singing sharks and beach balls and trees were freaking hilarious. And the finale was straight out of an episode of The Simpsons, at least that's what it felt like. I admire that Katy tried to sing parts of it live. It is what it is, a production, not a concert. It was entertaining, bottom line.

Mute.
I continued my streak of hitting the mute button as soon as the half was over. Don't care about the halftime show at all. I don't think I missed anything. I was at work, so I just went about working. When I have been at home I've just provided my own halftime music show... which is better than anything I think they could pollute my ears with anyway.
The shark costumes looked cool, but I bet they were still cooler with the audio muted.

No way, the best part of the sharks was the people inside of them simultaneously opening/closing the mouths in sync with the words in the song. Hilarious, I tell ya!

I thought it was great, very entertaining, and I imagine the fireworks were cool from inside the stadium. I didn't love her costumes but they seemed "her."

The Sharks were best part of the Super Bowl and the random ass missy elliot cameo was hilarious. I was pleasantly surprised because I was expecting 0 shark costumes

Whatever you think of her
Whatever you think of her music the whole thing was delightfully entertaining, which is all it's supposed to be. No one's there for high art or musical sophistication. The fireworks part was pretty awesome.

Show was good. If you had it on mute. The sound was horrible. Could not even hear what they were singing. Lenny wasn't even playing his guitar it wasn't even plugged into anything. And he didn't even sing one of his songs.

Not gonna lie, I never heard her singing
I and everyone else in the room were too busy shouting "WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!" to hear her actual voice.
Not a Katy Perry fan at all, but it was a damn fine spectacle.

Halftime
Did anyone else notice that Katy borrowed Jim's flight device to get around the stadium ?

Grade: B, I needed post-show Soundgarden to kill the earworms
I'm not a Katy Perry fan but her show was well done. I liked the trippy asynchronized dancing sharks and the dazy, dreamy beach balls. I really would have loved to see more Lenny Kravitz and Missy Elliott ... they were my favorite parts. I was surprised to see Lenny showing more chest than Katy, who was rather demure. In the end, my ears were rebelling against the perky pop assault and I craved some Soundgarden and Metallica to kill the earworms.
My favorite past halftime shows:
2002 U2
2007 Prince

People would probably be ok with just fireworks and/or explosions.

It is the Super Bowl After All
The NFL has so much invested in this "spectacular" event that it had to have a middle of the road performance that would not offend anyone, yet somehow producie a spectacular entertainment event.
It seems to me that Katy Perry delivered the intended objective. It's sort of hard to not like her.
She was probably the best guest prognosticator on College Game Day in the past several years.
