I thought he was great. The song selection, energy and showmanship all first rate. It had a carnival, circus vibe going on. Appropriate for the venue I think.
I thought the performance was pitiful all around and sounded like ****. What was up with the the guitar swinging, throwing (the guy almost dropped it) and the stage slide. It looked to me Bruce tied a good buzz on before the show. I have to think he might be a little embarrassed after viewing the act he put on.
Both Jennifer Hudson and Faith Hill had to submit a tape of their performances (for lip synching) 1 week before the super bowl as does everyone who performs there every year. I guess it is up to us to determine if they used it as this person on TV did not say, I could not tell.
Why did they not book the 'new look' Jessica Simpson? Same quality of music, but a million times better to look at.
Actually they should have just canceled the super bowl and let Bruce just do one of his concerts, they would last about the same. Early Bruce is much better than late Bruce especially 'the river', Early Bob is a 1000 times better than the late stuff, his voice is now shot, sounds more like a cat being strangled.
