Good Morning , Blinders!
Congrats to all of our Baltimore Blinders out there! We hope you enjoyed yesterday’s Super Bowl (brought to you by the Budweiser, Doritos, and the Church of $cientology).
We’re curious as to what all of you thought of Beyonce and the halftime show. Awesome or awful? 100 comments of any kind about the game or the halftime show will get you a mixed BG12345 today!
Love, Ace
UPDATE: You got it! Let’s start!
Great game!!
Awesome! She’s so bootylicious.
Beyonce = meh.
Game: Drama!
Halftime w/ B= Yawn!
Awesome, she was phenomenal
Best half time show in a very long time!! The game was good too.. I mostly show up for the food
Meh. The halftime show really needed more ass shaking, crotch flaring and hair flipping.
She’s overrated.
She should have lip synched. Or they could have brought someone in who was relavent. I thought I was watching the half time show from five years ago.
her booty shake surely caused the outage!
Meh. Not a B fan.
Game: Awesome! Perfect end to the Ray Lewis era.
Commercials: Loved most. Clydesdale was my favorite
Beyonce: Meh – She danced more to a track than anything. It reminded me of Burlesque.
Michelle and Kelly bouncing out was incredible. I would love to see a Destinys Child reunion.
Liked halftime show & the Twitter reaction to the Blackout was hilarious!
the power outage was pretty nuts
And what was with her crazy eyes throughot the whole thing? She was channeling Rmaona Singer from Real Housewives of NY.
Being from the UK, I didn’t watch the Superbowl – but I did see a clip of Beyonce’s performance this afternoon. It seemed to have a little bit of everything ~ music (live/pretendlive): check! Lights and effects: Check! Clothes that barely cover her foof: check!
So all in all, not something I’d write home about (but then I’m not a Beyonce fan).
The show and her performance were phenomenal. You gotta love a girl who can kill dance number after dance number in stilettos.
She did okay, but no new music and the same old choreography from her videos and previous performances. I still say Prince had the best Superbowl performance. Also, Keyshia Cole was rather tasteless for what she said on twitter about it.
i’m not a fan, but the show was great.
Amazing. Queen B
Awful. Please let her reign be over already. And I blame her electronic double profile and lights show for the power outage.
Listening to the CBS analysts during the power outage was awful.
Loved the Destiny’s Child reunion… but I’m a big 49er’s fan so…. haha great game though!
Beyone had a really bad set list, and writhed around more than she sang. Last year’s half time was better.
Game was TOO LONG. Needs to be held on a Saturday!
Liked most of Beyonce’s show–the older music the most, but had to fast forward through some of her newer stuff. Loved Destiny’s Child reunion.
The halftime show was not well received at our party. We were happy when it was over.
I am sad about the game, but will always stick by my team. 49er fan for life!
The power outage was the lord saying, “no ray lewis, you killed a man.” but baltimore won anyways.
I lean towards awful…..more precisely too staged……
I flipped it on after halftime and half the stadium was dark, so I took it as a sign and hit the hay.
beyonce was amazing! i don’t get why everyone is saying “meh”!
Halftime show didn’t do anything for me. Sad the 49ers lost.
Superdome wasn’t ready for that jelly blew the power out lol
Destiny’s Child looked smokin’ hot. Looked like they were having fun too.
Half and half on the halftime. Too much show not much go…
It was amazing that the ravens won the superbowl at beyonces concert. yay
I loved Beyoncé’s performance, glad to see Destiny’s Child reunited even if it was brief. Bummed that B didn’t do Run The Wold though, it would have been awesome with all these dancers and lights
awesome
The game was boring at first, then awesome. I was not impressed with the commercials this year. Beyonce was amazeballs.
Good
The game got pretty exciting toward the end! Didn’t really pay attention to the half-time show. My favorite part of the whole thing was the Budweiser/Clydesdale ad. *sniffle*
According to the Craig Ferguson show, the power outage was caused by Craig charging Lucy Liu’s cell phone
Beyoncé.
Just Beyoncé
only thing worse than the outage was Phil Simms’ ineptitude
Not a big Beyonce fan, but it was entertaining to watch.
Baltimore Blinder here..
Bey’s Halftime performance was okay.
Not impressed.
Kelly Rowland looked hotter than any of them!
Apparently, she danced until her feet bled!! Whatever. Happy snowy Monday, Ace!
A lot of wiggle, bump and grind, and not much singing.
Wasn’t able to watch the show because i live in Europe.
I didn’t watch the Superbowl but I did see Beyonce and Destiny Child’s performance on YouTube. It was FANTASTIC. I’ve never watched halftime performances before and I was absolutely blown away. It went off without a hitch, really entertaining and Beyonce’s vocals were wonderful. Really great:) Also saw one of the Ravens make a snow angel in the confetti…pretty funny
Never been a fan of Mrs. Carter… Ms. Bey…. I wish she would go back to where she came from… but she isn’t wanted in Houston either. As for the power outage, I think it was meant for the halftime show (to put us out of our visual misery) and ended up delayed by accident.
All in all … glad its over (just like Sean Paytons suspension!!! woootwooot).
game was good, beyonce was bad
I’m sure Beyonce thought she was awesome!
Beyoncé is Jesus.
Can’t stand Beyond or Baltimore. I watched the Puppy Bowl, the Kitty Halftime Show and a Law & Order marathon
loved the game
halftime show wasn’t spectacular, she mostly just grunted
Glad the Ravens won, although neither team rank among my favorites in the league. Beyonce “performed” to be sure, but it just screamed “Look at ME, see I AM talented, and to prove it, I’ll deign to grace you with as many digital versions of myself that the electrical circuits can handle”(which is apparently, like, 6). She will also let hints drop and anticipation build about a DC reunion, when in reality the mics for both Kelly and Michelle were turned so low that they really only served as accessories on either side of the “star” for less than what, 2min? God forbid those 2 think they might be able to share their 2min of stage time with Bey as equals!!! After the inauguration debacle and ensuing backlash I’m glad Bey acknowledged those she offended people by going out of her way to “prove” she was truly singing live. Although my offense (as I believe many others were) was not that she can’t sing live – but that during arguably the most prestigious opportunity in her career – she faked it, and did so proudly, with flourish even. Alicia Keys proved Bey’s point better than Bey did, she sang the anthem live while playing the piano, her voice wavered, was off key at times, but was throughout – 100% genuine. I haven’t noticed any articles (yet) drawing attention to Keys less than perfect rendition, and I hope there aren’t any. I will take a genuine, live, heart felt rendition over flawless and fake any day of the week. No one credible would argue whether Beyonce has talent, I just wish she had a little more heart, was willing to be just a little more human – on her own – and not just when there’s a public outcry about it. Alright I’ll stop, *stepping down from my soap box.
Totally agree!
omg I know, right? Kelly looked way hotter and her and Michelle both sing better live than B does. Thats probably why they were turned so far down. That was embarassing. Her ego has just gotten out of control.
I think you hit the nail on the head. Beyonce can definitely dance but her singing…meh. When it was over, I was thinking of that gymnast from the olympics this past summer with that whole “not impressed” thing.
Loved Beyonce, she killed it!!
It was alright.
Considering they thought she was the very best they could find to be the halftime entertainment, I suppose she fulfilled her duties acceptably.
Loved Flacco’s comment, “It was f____ing awesome!” because it was. Hated the prudes who came down on CBS for not censoring it. How do they think they got here? I self-censored myself from typing the actual word Flacco said, I wouldn’t want Ace to get in trouble for something I did.
Halftime show was decent.
Had to watch on Youtube since I’m not from the US, but I liked it. Can see why the power went out though, don’t want to be the one paying the electricity bill for her performance.
Better than the Madonna half time show.
“Good Morning Baltimore”
Did not watch but from reading various blogs, if you’re not a Beyonce fan or just didn’t like the show and post a comment be ready for the inane attacks accusing you of being a hater, sorry…a hater! and or your old or racist. It’s called an opinion. Let it go. Move on.
mhh didn´t watch it, rather watch an ACDC dvd than Beyonce moving like some kind of sick animal on stage
bring on the blinds!
didn’t watch. dislike Beyonce, dislike football even more.
Halftime show = a whole lotta awful
The only great thing were special effects. The Destiny Child “reunion” was boring and insulting too Kelly and Michelle. Since the whole thing was beyoncefied it made the other two look pathetic, and they are not. She had to do really well bc of the hoopla from the lip service last month, and she performed nicely…..but safe, boring, and outdated ~like her hair cut and color. I was super stoked to see her, but was left disappoint and trying too hard to justify way she didn’t do anything new or memorable.
Basically it was a.flashback of her same dance moves we’ve seen Sooo many times… guess this new mother doesn’t take her job as seriously as she used to???
Bored with Beyonce, but at least the game was good!
lots of wiggling and less singing. Well played, Bey, well played.
Bored with Beyonce
I didn’t even watch. haha
Be~YAWN, indeed. It was however a fabulous display of ego run amok, self congratulatory narcissistic back patting, a blatant display of contmempt for the fellow members of DC who helped her get where she is, and an utter validation of why I have never heard her music before last night. Since Prince did his magnificant show, the halftime shows have been going downhill…
A lot of booty shaking and mediocre singing.
I thought she was great – very entertaining – she’s beautiful, she can dance – and she blew the lights out.
In the immortal words of Homer Simpson…”meh”
Awesome! I surely couldn’t do it! Kudos Bey!
Bleh!!!! Didn’t watch…i was too busy catching up on Dexter & drag race
Love B but she is becoming too egocentric for my taste. Its not always about her…..
Great game…..sad the 49ers lost:(
Went to a sausage party, played poker, had a blast!
Game was a nail biter.
Wish B would go way of Paris Hilton = disappear.
Great performance, crazy fourth quarter
Truth be told, I was not impressed with Beyonce’s performance. It seemed basic and boring. And her weave–damn, girl!!! That thing looked sad and dirty!!!
I thought so too it needed some oil sheen asap!
Kelly and Michelle handled it!
oh my…..Alicia Keys NAILED IT last night!!!!
Beyonce barely even sang…and I love how Michelle and Kelly’s mics were turned waaaaay down.
Also, I’m very sad my Niners lost.
Next year.

Diden’t watch it…but I would like a mixed BG12345
power outage was interesting! Halftime show, not so much!!!
So, so full of herself.
Not my taste- I prefer less show and more music, but the outfits were pretty cool.
Awesome game! Leerey from Baltimore!!!!!!!!
Not a fan. Good game at the end, but I thought Beyonce’s performance was tired, over-dramatic and erratic. Poor Kelly and Michelle had to come onstage for that?! Their sound (microphones and volume) was so much worse than B’s. Probably by design. Not good, and what was that weird crotch touch/point (?)for no reason?
She is terrible.
She tried to prove something, not give a performance.
She looked amazing – especially after having a baby just a year ago (wink!). Thought she was thoroughly entertaining. I’d rather see a show with less singing than a lot of singing and more standing.
Wait…There was a football game at that Beyonce concert? #teambeyonce
So glad the Raven’s won!!! As far as Beyonce goes, surprisingly, I did enjoy the show; I’m just tired of hearing about her!
good
Ray Lewis really killed it out there last night…allegedly.
Games went from ho hum to fabulous full of drama, fun
Beyonce was underwhelming at best
are we certain it really was Beyonce last night and not a surrogate?
My nine-year old daughter said during the half-time show, ” This has way too much heiney wiggling.” I’ll take her word for it.
wow lol that’s classic!
Hate NFL. I was sleeping through it
So awful. All the folks in the house who weren’t watching kept coming into the room saying “who’s that? she sounds awful.” the destiny’s child mash-up was poor. did they turn off the other girls’ microphones? It’s was like watching a Beyonce music video … whoop de-do. all Beyonce, all the time. seems like she had a set of pipes once but she just sounded like she was huffing and puffing on stage. maybe some lip sync would have been a good thing.
Over produced, over lit, over time, over it.
109 yards, blackout, Beyonce, Ravens won, Flacco will be in touch with the FCC soon
love this!
Ravens Rocked it! Beyonce…emmm not so much….
I didn’t watch. Not a fan of Beyonce.
But my Ravens won! Yay!
I’d rather watch paint dry. But I would love BG12345!
I am sick of Beyonce and I am an African American. She wears the same blond wig/weave time and time again. Her dance moves are always the same (gyrating and booty popping) and the outfits are always scantily clad. Why can’t she change her choreography? She is not dancing because I have been a skilled dancer for years and all she does she shake and twist her head! I am tired of the same old thing. She needs to reinvent herself. I find her boring! The performance was mediocre and she was gasping for air. Not one of better performances.
Thanks for being honest. BTW as a skilled dancer can you recommend good starter dance classes for a 45 yr old woman who has never taken any, has some basic rhythm but is always much better in her head ; ) A friend who is a professional ballet dancer suggested ballet and go from there but even that seems intimidating…belly dancing ala Shakira style?
Cannot stand Beyonce. Ooh, lookie here, we’z all about sex and bling but we’z jus’ like regular folks. Oh, please. Thanks for that great, inspirational message.
The dancing/choreography was great. But she’s a singer and the songs were terrible – So, If the show was about dancing I’d give her an A+ but as for music and singing….FAIL.
Was she lip synching again? I can never tell……It looked real tho.
The best part about the show was Kelly Rowland and that goofy outfit she was wearing. The bottom half of the swimsuit gave her a granny booty. Saggy and wrinkled.
She’s awful…can’t sing, more ego than talent, all she knows how to do is wag her vag
yuck. Now JHudson…that’s another story, that girl can sing!
Absolutely agree! But what happened to her face? Maybe from losing the weight? Not saying she’s still not beautiful.
Baltimore here!!! You should’ve seen the city last night after we won! Incredible! GO RAVENS!
I thought Beyonce kept up the energy, but I wonder if the other two from Destiny’s Child were pissed that their mics were turned down so that Beyonce was still the loudest. But after the whole did she or didn’t she surrogacy thing and the lip-synching, I kind of lost respect for her. If she used a surrogate, great. It’s still her child. But to say she didn’t….that’s what makes me scratch my head. Maybe someday we’ll have the answer.
Did her performance have anything to do with the blackout? Does that mean New Orleans won’t be hosting the Superbowl ever again? Did we find out the cause?
NFL officially stated she did not cause the outage. But her show was using its own generator and she blew the electricity out twice in rehearsals there. News reports incorrectly implied that an Oct 2012 memo alerted officials hat a power failure might occur. Memo was true but the city immediately funded an equipment parade which was tested several times successfully before the Super Bowl event. Further two owls were played there and inal four national event with no power outage problems. They are still investigating the cause since the new equipment reacted appropriately to the power failure abnormality.
I thought it was the best show in a long time EXCEPT for her outfit was a little inappropriate. I thought it was okay until my 8 year old boy made the comment that he could see her booty. The way he said it, you could tell he was uncomfortable with it. Sad they can’t even do a football game family appropriate. Then again, the cheerleaders look like strippers.
Game got interesting in the second half. The halftime show seemed very outdated, like something from the plastic excesses of the 1990s.i don’t think she sings well. Jennifer and Aliia re far more talented. Finally someone sang our national anthem with appropriate reverence. Thank you for that Alicia. I Leo think the consumes and especially the sexualized dancing and gestures were so inappropriate for prime time family viewing. I would rather they invite school bands to play and do field formations that are creative.
