@amujinx @filmfann You are both correct I did have the game wrong. It was not the Superbowl.
But I still stand by my comments. It was disrespectful. The promoters had a chance to had a chance to take either the high road or the low road and set the tone for their game and how the public perceives the participants. Clearly someone in head office thought the public would favor the lowest possible road. Sadly they are often right. I guess there was enough backlash they realized that was an incorrect assumption. It’s a good thing, too, or the following year we’d be subjected to the likes of her having a “wardrobe malfunction” at every show.
@amujinx I think both are egregious errors in judgment. Selecting someone to sing who does not sing well, when there are so many talented, respectful and, dare I say it, deserving people, shows an error in judgment by the promoter.
A good singer who does not know the words shows their own error in judgment. The singer know well in advance that he/she is selected for this honor. Rather than clubbing, or whatever, the few days before they should have been practicing over and over. I know when I have to make a short speech I spend the time to prepare and practice. There are no errors – ever.
If this is how they butcher a stationary, 2 minute performance of a well known song that has been planned well in advance, what must their on stage performances be like? Are they completely lip-synched and dubbed?
