Prince has game!

rz...I was thinking just the opposite. One of the worst.

Give me "Strawberry Beret" anytime.

Agree with rz. Prince is quite the showman and presence. I was skeptical before it began.

Prince is a freak. However, that was more entertaining than I expected.

However, CBS gets an F for the game so far. Microphone problems, sound gets loud then soft, sound went out completely during the Bears' second touchdown.

Commercials were very good early then they all turned into ads for CBS shows.

Good Rex better show up this half.

Da' Bears need Jim McMahon to come out of retirement and finish the game at QB position.
It's De ja vu all over again with Mc-daddy back in a Bear's uniform peace Colt fans

Pappi,

That's what my mom said about me

Very good halftime show...
...Prince has toned down his act...but sure can sing.
(but I missed the 800 # so I can call and vote for him, though)

I surfed the internet for baseball scores; Prince is too weird for my tastes. He took up valuable commercial time.

Prince is one of the most talented musicians on the face of this earth. He has never received enough credit for his ability as a natural master of "all" musical instruments. His ability rivals Jimi Hendrix with a guitar and very few could have pulled off that half-time show in the pouring down rain. He's the most, IMHO. peace shep

PS(I would've chosen someone different for the Super Bowl Show though)

Prince is HUGE in Miami, he performs here a lot. It was a good choice, though I had to go out I missed it.
It is POURING, so I can see why they are having problems, something no one expected for an outdoor game.
Our perfect weather went haywire today!

Over 60 percent of the Super Bowl fans are not from Miami, rather, from all over the country. For this reason, IMHO, I believe the Super Bowl selection committee should have considered other candidates for the job. This is not to say I don't feel the talent of Prince and I definitely give him his much deserved props, however, this is the Super Bowl Half-Time Show and 1999 was over a long time back JMHO

Sincerely,
Shep Cares

Shep,
You have a point, but he has a presence down here that was very conducive to the "pre" game partying that was going on down here.
The ideamI think is have more of a family type of half time show, but maybe you would have preferred Janet and Justin?

You're right TPM I didn't think about the street parties and so-forth. He probably did draw a crowd everywhere he was...very interesting fella, I watched his movie for the first time last summer and the relationship with his unsung hero and father had a huge impact on my feelings about Prince. That was really sad the way his dad went out...especially with all that talent. Glad to see Prince has been allowed by the powers to be, to pursue his dream without someone interferring. peace shep

Actually Shep, I don't really care one way or the other, because tonight means NO MORE FOOTBALL and on to the BEST SPORT there is..

BASEBALL is BACK!

TPM said it all!!

REgardless of how Prince performed, I think a south Florida Super Bowl deserves Jimmy Buffett at half time.

rz1, sometimes I wonder what some of the regular posters look like...now I wish I didn't know!!!

BTW, it looks like Bad Rex showed up in the second half.

Prince,.....got game???

Hmmmm,...well if judging by the 15 set up, but empty chairs, placed strategically in front of a semi fuzzy tv,....which stood very close to 6 baseball cages full of college and HS winter league baseball boys hittin' & pitchin' their hearts out,...last night, I'd say Prince was a dud.

Some kids would occasionally glance over at the tv to check out the score,....but other than that, these Kansan boys were all about baseball last night,..God love em'!!!!

They made this mom heck-a proud!!!



rz1,....rz,..rz,...rz,......Prince? Really????
Best show ever??? Really?????? ( biiig sigh )
Oh my oh my,.....were gonna have to chat about this!!!


P.S. I'm more with o6catcherdad on this one:

Yeahhh babah!!!!

Interersting fact about Prince that many might not be aware of--when he started out nobody wanted him and his talent---he went into a studio and did his thing---played all the instruments and voices and then put out the album---the rest is history

He is a masterful performer, have seen him in concert a few times, and a musical genius


Sure beats todays " music "!!!!

Did someone actually write that this was the best half time show ever? Seriously, nothing will ever beat U2's post-9/11 performance in Super Bowl 36.

What is U2 an Irish band doing at the Super Bowl anyway?


Let them play at the S O C C E R Bowl

Who else would have played brilliant throughout the weather conditions? To sing Purple rain while raining was pretty cool to see. If you guys can't appreciate a guy singing, playing guitar( pretty good player as well, and dancing at the same time then I do not know what to tell you!

Prince was great!

That would be me

Maybe I overlooked U2 because the game itself succked and I was even rooting for the Colts.

You don't have like Prince he should be respected for his talent and the fact that he performed better in those conditions than both teams.

I'm not a Prince fan, but even if I were, I could've done without the visual of the back lighting of him with that weird prong of his guitar located in a suggestive position. Instead of a "wardrobe malfunction", I felt like we got a rather prominent "instrument misplacement".

rz1,

Just so you know, the folks down here think it was one of the best halftime shows seen and can't stop raving about Prince. For those who were at the game and reporting, said the rain was intense and he pulled it off well considering the circumstances.

Most feel the whole thing was well put together.

Midlo

For Prince that was mild---you had to see his concerts early on---a sexual as they could get---but the man is a musical genius and YOU DO NOT READ ABOUT HIM IN THE GOSSIP COLUMNS

Midlo,

Very observent. I guess my attention to detail was a little skewed.

U2 was best show ever, but Prince rocked Miami last night. It was a great performance, and his eyeliner didn't even run in the Purple Rain!

Admittedly I'm not a fan. I do agree that he did better than either team, however.

No, you don't read about him in the tabloids. Anymore.

I don't know if any of the American Idol contestants were watching last night, but Prince showed how it should be done. I did not know he could play the guitar like that and he had tremendous stage presence. He played an interesting version of All Along the Watchtower that is much slower than previous versions. I was surprised at how well he performed.

Had to have been waterproof!

As far as some of you thinking the game was a bust, the weather was terrible, the field sloppy and wet.
Give the guys a break!
