So what did we think of Rhianna's Super Bowl half-time show?
I thought she sang amazingly well for someone not usually credited with being a great vocalist. I bet the high-altitude floats were really something live. On TV they still triggered my own fear of heights. An impressive engineering feat, and something worth seeing. But I do not know that they added all that much to the music and dancing.
The dancing seemed pretty pedestrian to me. There were a lot of dancers. I guess that added to the impact. I did not really get the costumes. Maybe I am just old. And, okay, Rhianna is pregnant--again. That did not help or hurt the show, to me. I must be getting more and more old-fashioned as I get older and older. Rhianna and her boyfriend are now rumored to be considering getting married, since this second child is on the way.
I guess I liked that the show was really just Rhianna and not a bunch of guest stars. It was coherent. I liked that it was greatest hits and not new stuff. Of course, she has not put out anything new for seven years and apparently has nothing now in the works. Performers get paid nothing for doing the SB. I wonder why she bothered if she has nothing new to try to promote.
I wonder why a good SB half-time show seems so hard to pull off. To me, Prince was by far the best one and he did it in the rain.
I basically like Rhianna's music. The songwriting on and production of her recordings seem excellent. The best money can buy. She is easy on the eyes and seems to have a warm personality that seems to come out in her vocals. I guess I thought this show was okay, not great, and it must have cost a fortune.
