hiram.k.hackenbacker Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 (edited) Probably one of the worst openings I've seen for a while, but I didn't really have high expectations from Coldplay. Don't really know what the organisers were thinking booking them. Thought things were on the up when Bruno turned up, but he trotted out the predictable and Beyoncé certainly didn't add anything. Oh good, Coldplay are back on. Yawn. Edited February 8, 2016 by hiram.k.hackenbacker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrismanbass Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 admittedly i'm watching on my macbook but the mix sounded pretty shocking from here not enough vocals generally and generally pretty mushy but yes a pretty forgettable halftime show rescued by some old favourites coming back to steal the show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subbeh Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 It seemed to me that the organisers had little confidence in Coldplay and they almost seemed like an after thought once thunder thighs and Bruno Mars (who I thought was great again) turned up. I think the show needs more energy that a band like Coldplay can give even with Chris amped up and bouncing around the place. That bit right at the end with the three of them singing to the camera with Chris Martin squeezed in at the back summed it up, an afterthought at what was supposed to be their show.

Dad3353 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 (edited) I thought it lacked that little '[i]je ne sais quoi[/i]'; now let me see... Quality..? Yes, that was it. And musicality. It lacked that, too. And interest. And good taste. And... ([i]wanders off, reeling out a long enumeration of elements likely to endear one to a performance[/i]...).

I say the biggest international pop hit of the past year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] It was a strange one granted, but it was quite close the majority of the way through. More about which defence would fold first. I think Cam Newton let his side down. He looked defeated before halftime even. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratman Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 It was a lesson in great defense. Neither offense was allowed to play their normal game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitz666 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 The Metalica gig from the night before "too heavy for halftime" was soooo much better.... Enjoyed the game as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I poo pooped the whole thing until I watched Brunos clip. Even though no one was actually playing live, I have to give it to Bruno for his ability to capture that 70s funk groove. If you were listening they through in 8 bars of James Brown's "Super Bad" Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
