Bruce at The Super Bowl....

Slothman,
It was indeed pride that I too had felt. Watching Jennifer Hudson give such an exceptional performance after such a horrible personal tragedy was more than just uplifting, it was quite moving as well.
Moving to Freehold NJ in 1967 from the Bronx introduced me to the music of Springsteen at a very early age and to see him come so far and do it with such Class and humor was nothing short of incredible. The fireworks, the laughter, the hometown hero. It was inspirational for me.
Not to mention that interception where the guy ran for 100 yards. It was a fun night of TV.

I agree.

Jennifer Hudson gave one of the finest fake singing performances in the history or pre-recorded music.

Super Bowel more like.

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.
