I mean, if you have any knowledge on music, you would know that Adam was really off-key and the drums were most likely programmed.... Right -- I didn't say he sounded perfect. I said he sounded ok. Plus, the GP has no knowledge of music so my point of "the GP likely loved it" still stands. It wasn't okay, either. He wasn't a little sharp or flat, he was waaaay off. Also, he was slurring his words. A weird criticism coming from me, but a singer like Adam has zero reason to slur his words the way he did. It was an extremely phoned in performance from him. Not to mention all the audio issues..

Hoping next year is going to have a mainly 2000s or early 2010s artist.

This should’ve just been Boi and Travis. Their only 30 seconds were great.
But seriously, why did Levine think a choir was worth wasting for GLY? Is he that deluded to think the song needed a fucking choir?!

Has Drake done a super bowl yet? He should IMO.

I liked it, I thought it could of been a bit better, but calling it unwatchable is unwarranted IMO

Adam Levine has a decent voice when he wants to. His vocal performance here was lacking. But it’s whatever. We expected a mediocre halftime and that’s what we received. Why fault them for what’s out of their control? It’s of their nature.

Mediocre at best I hope they get someone like Rihanna or P!nk next
Both have the catalog of hits and have great stage presence

When you have artists putting on such grand performances as what Gaga, Katy, Beyoncé, Prince, and Bruno did, something as uneventful and stagnant as a show like this really falls flat.
It was bland.

Lol what? In 2019 no one is asking for a Christina halftime show outside of her few thousand stans. Nobody wanted Maroon 5 and only half of OutKast but here we are. Big Boi is random (though I love him), but Maroon 5 had a #1 hit within the past few months while Christina hasn't had her own hit in well over a decade.

Alsooooo, interesting how Levine can perform shirtless, but Janet Jackson has a single nipple exposed and gets blackballed. 👀

This was pretty bad.
Also how do they manage the finances for these shows? Because when I look at Katy Perry's for example, that must have cost a fortune. When I look at this, where did the money go???

Madonna, Beyonce, Katy and The Ga snickering at how male HT shows absolutely pale in comparison. The whole point of the HT show is entertainment and, like Bruno and JT, M5 couldn't touch those 4 women. I don't agree with Madonna and Bruno Mars placement here. Madonna is obviously a legend and world class performer, but her show was not it. Bruno Mars was excellent.

GLY was really fine, but that woman was screaming way too much. Maroon's highlight for me is def SHE WILL BE LOVED, love that song. Where the f is One More Night??? I watched it on YT and I skipped more than a half of the performance, and even though I love Maroon 5, this was boring.

I don't see how this was better than Timberlake's performance. At least he has charisma and Levine is an empty shell of a performer. You could have had Hatsune Miku perform and it'd be more entertaining.

Thank you, 2! I had just seen a video that somebody filmed from his/her tv. Man, that was not fun. I was SO bored. I know they have tons of hits, but I don't think it was the right choice for the SP.

It makes sense to have the worst Super Bowl halftime performance paired with the worst Super Bowl game ever.

Non-Event is the best way to describe that half time show.
Adam sounded terrible. He was entirely off and never picked it up. And he looked constipated, scared or both. Terrible vocals and a performance that never went anywhere. I find it very hard to believe anyone seriously found it even just okay.

That was really bad. I liked the JT show more than that. Again no one can top Gaga’s in recent memory.

I've never liked him cause I find him to be a douche but that was dreadful. You get what you ask for. When has he ever shown to be an entertainer?
