Superbowl Halftime Flop?

Perhaps it was just my local, or even national, audio hookup. But, here in Toronto-area Canada, I could barely hear any music during the half-time show.The voices came through loud and clear, just sans any music to drown out any minor vocal errancies.I'm not a big music guy, and I like pretty much everything. The Black Eyed Peas aren't especially higher or lower to me. I like the songs and think they have a half-decent beat to go with them. Sure, they can't sing. But who can these days anyway? I still think they're "whole package" is just as good as anything else I listen to.But the result of listening to just the vocals and having no music at all just destroyed the facade completely and the truth of their horrible singing came through without anything to temper it.Did anyone else (I'm mostly curious about the US) have this same audio issue?It was pretty entertaining making fun of the vocals for half-an-hour, though
"I bet they think they're putting on an awesome show! Just wait 'till they get home and listen to the recording!!"

Poo.
I mean... good for you...
I suppose, by taking my initial feelings after hearing that, this means I generally want everyone else to wallow in the same torture I had to endure? Nah, I didn't even know 'till this morning. Probably 'cause I don't really care about the words in anthems, especially in some other country's.
But, now that we're mentioning it... I seem to recall the camera going onto one of Green Bay's guys at some point during the anthem and he was all looking around with a "did that just happen?" kind of gaze... perhaps that occured at the same time as they lyric mishap?
Maybe not, but that would be funny Yeah, I wasn't expecting awesomeness... just acceptableness.

Yeah, noticed that too. Didn't have an issue with that though. Minor hiccups can be forgiven when they throw a stage together that quickly, I suppose. Oh? Yeah, I never knew that. Probably on account of me not hearing any music for the entire session...
I thought that was the best-of-the-worst as far as the singing went, though. My favourite joke of the halftime show:"When did the Black Eyed Peas pick up Dynamo?" (Dynamo is a sub-villain from the old Running Man movie)

Actually, the quality of that video is towards what was coming out of my TV. Even in the video I'd say the "music" is too low in comparison with with vocals. Does anyone else think so? Or am I just a horrible music critic in the general sense? However, the end result on my TV was much worse... could hardly make out the guitar at all, and the vocals were even more powerful.Karaoke is right. Now imagine karaoke night with the music removed...

Oh, I've been meaning to mention it and I keep forgetting...I think your dinosaur avatar is hilarious!But... I also really like to play Little Big Planet 'cause the guy's legs go all loopy when he jumps... my mommy says it's 'cause I'm special

Pssh... they have to wait at least 10 years 'till they can try that again.
...not that 10's a round number, that's just the actual IQ of folks that called in to complain about it.Seriously, I never got that.Boob on tv?!!! O.M.G. I am gonna light some fires!!
However, watching grown men lose their temper and punch each other in the head is just peachy-keen? C'mon... double standard much?...I'm referring to that one punt return. I think it was the Pittsburgh guy getting behind the Green Bay guy and trying to push him into the ball? Well, the GB guy didn't like that... you see, that's just a bit too much physical-ness in a physical-game like football, so he turns around and cuffs 'em one upside the head.Yup, much better to teach kids that rage-retaliation is just a minor penalty... but sex-education means bad half-time shows for the next decade!One day, double-standard... I'll get you!
