The Weekend

most people would say
 "" if i have to sit and listen to that again I'll cut my ears off"   

I thought the Weeknd was excellent. Good to see modern R&B chosen as genre along with a performer from this Century. Silky smooth voice. Creative in what he did with social distancing and covid. Like how he integrated his stance on superficial beauty of plastic surgery of having face bandages on his dancers which were functional face masks (brilliant). He has worn bloody face bandages on himself (like on SNL), but the choice of not wearing was smart as that would really freak out ’Merica. Sound quality is always problematic in a stadium like that. It was no Prince and not likely in the top ten superbowl shows, but it was decent modern R&B. Sorry most of you were dissappointed, maybe next year they can drudge up some lily white big name from the 70’s. The major beer sponsors should be back, maybe Bruce Springsteen again. Gratuitous cheap DWI shot, sorry Bruce Luv ya!

The Weeknd has more talent than most here, that’s for certain. 

I had never heard, or heard of, Mr. Weekend before the Super Bowl ads. I was looking forward to something new and entertaining. I saw something new but not entertaining for me, nor for the other viewers in the room. I did not like the show. I did not like the songs. I did not like the masks, too close to reality and disconcerting. None of the viewers in my home could understand the lyrics. It was a waste of a lot of money and hype. It was one thing, safe. No controversy that I saw. No sexy dancing. No profane or questionable language. Just boring to my household. Hope next year is better.
