Super Sunday

The Super Bowl is playing on television (cable).  I am glad that the Green Bay Packers won. Aaron Rodgers played a good game as GB's quarterback. This was an interesting football game but had a poor pregame and half time entertainment. This along with all the other misfortune that Dallas has had to endure leading up to the game. The worst snow in a long time that had delayed flights and fans from arriving into Dallas. The 400 plus fans that had their seats taken away from them at game time due to a fire marshal ruling.

Christina Aguilera sang the national anthem for the game opener. She sang the wrong words to the anthem, which made all the news networks. She left out the words "O'er the ramparts we watched" and replaced them with a verse that she had already sang, but she even changed the words for that to  "What so proudly we watched," instead of "What so proudly we hailed".  If she forgot the words, that's fine. Our anthem is considered one of the hardest anthems to sing. Many singers have forgotten some of the words. Don't say it is a remix or artistic license as Deion Sanders tweeted. Any purposeful change to the words of the national anthem is a discredit and dishonor to our nation.

The Black Eyed Peas were the half time show.  The glitz and light show were impressive. This however did not cover up their technical difficulties. The microphone for Fergie could have been turned down a notch or two so she could better blend with the other singers. The "V" in love during the song "Where is the Love" was half lit. Then to have Slash and Usher show up for two of the songs. Did they need that to take your mind off their mediocre performance? Hum....Maybe?
