The Super Bowl Halftime Show was aggressively promoted and hyped. The star was Rihanna Fenty, a huge hip hop star with many top hits and a net worth of $1 billion. Her show lasted 13 minutes, seemed longer! It was her first live performance in 7 years.
She sang aboard cabled platforms above the football field. That was dramatic at the start but got monotonous halfway through the performance. She lip-synched the performance, and you could tell, and didn’t really dance much, grabbed her crouch, patted her pregnant belly several times, and applied her own brand of make-up during the show. The vocals were hard to hear and background music score seemed similar for every song.
She was dressed in a red 3XL Hazmat suit slightly open in the front to show her plastic boobs and baby bump. She was accompanied by troops of large white Energizer bunnies in white fluffy coveralls. It was hard to tell the sex of the bunnies, but it appears each was wearing a white sport bra. See photo above! The bunnies had dance moves, mostly their legs, and the synchronization was good. If the show had great theatrical significance, it was lost on me. I flat, did not “get” the performance.
Guess you can tell I did not like the show!! Very disappointed. Over the years, I have seen much better shows. But the media will not criticize a pregnant, Black woman. Next year I’d like to see a great rock band or a country star.
PS- Rihanna was “forced” to perform from cabled platforms due to poor field conditions for football. The NFL can’t get anything right!!!!
