Lady Gaga at the Superbowl?

[Mr. Man]

Perhaps the half-time show is more geared to the people watching on TV than the fans in the stands, who will all be too hammered to care whether it's Lady Caca or the Stones.

I think your on to it Baub. The Dir. of Entertainment for the NFL is a woman and she says 40 to 45% of TV viewers are women. She maybe placating to that audience.
Bet if we could watch the Neilsens we would see a drop in men over 30 watching and an increase in teenage girls watching the halftime show.

As was said earlier in the thread, she's actually wildly talented. Not at all my cup of tea (seriously, not a fan), but can't deny the talent.

Whenever they book dumbass pop acts (Black Eyed Peas, Janet Jackson, etc.) I am convinced it's done to bring in more than just the average football fans. For example, a lot of the ladies I work with will be watching the Super Bowl just for the halftime show.

Me...I won't be watching any of it.
Only a few weeks left until the Daytona 500.

It took years of hearing my daughters music to come around and finally admit I like some of her stuff.

Then again my IPod has everything from Slayer to The Bee Gees...

It's better when there is an audience!

Eh... This isn't about Nu talent

Super Bowl is, and always will be, about $$$

So doesn't matter who is performing just as long as it's a big enough draw to get ppl to watch


And further to this football matter: REDSKINS! HAIL!

[Ms. Denmark]

I'm no teeny bopper but I can sing along with a lotta Gaga songs . And yes, she is very talented** Still she seems at odds with rabid football fan's taste.


** BTW Mr. Man has been known to agree with this.

Sometimes I hear it first on XRT but they too keep me young

Twenty One Pilots
Catfish and the Bottlemen
Greenday
Whitney
Gotye
Kings of Leon
Lorde
Sia

the list goes on

And as someone mentioned its marketing. Last year NASCAR brought in Taylor Swift to sing at an event, it was their most attended event in years, I can't remember how long but she was the reason. Its all about trying to generate interest an new younger viewers to replace the old.

I am a car guy through and through, I have very little interest in NASCAR. I've been to a few races and appreciated it but will not go out of way to see one - or purchase a ticket (have only gone when given a ticket)

I'm not much on teenie pop, but I caught myself singing along to Taylor Swift Shake It Off.

[Rlutterb]

so long as she keeps politics out of it, who cares. what America needs from her is a good wardrobe malfunction!

[MOTOWN]

I never watch the halftime act anyway that time is for checking Super Bowl squares!

[dohc324ci]

Gaga can actually sing. Google accapella Lady Gaga.

[Mr. Man]

Sing, can't sing isn't really the point. If she were singing at a sissy sporting event like basketball I'd say no problem. Football is Metallica, ZZTop you know a testosterone driven sport. Football used to be a get down in the mud, dirty, bloody, ruff and tumble step on guys fingers ala Conrad Dobler, fight with...well everybody Lyle Alzado, pound Earl Campbell up the middle 40x a game, Reggie White kill the QB, play with Jack Ham broken fingers sport. A game Art Donovan could be proud of, then came the advent of AstroTurf and the sissifing of the rules. You can't touch the kicker, no touching the QB after he throws the ball, boo hoo we don't want our overpaid sissy players to get hurt. It's been a slow slide downhill ever since. Next thing you know teams will be disbanding their scantily clad cheerleaders.
After typing that all out now I understand the choice of Lady Gaga. Football has become a sissy sport.
