It's hard to believe that the half-time show started out with college marching bands as the performers considering today's spectacles. Where would you rank the Black Eyed Peas' performance among performances of the past? Check out Wikipedia's list of past shows here.

Thank GOd Usher and Slash showed up. Fergie butchered everything. She doesn't even qualify as a back up singer. I was embaraased for her and all them. Just shows to go how talentless the Black Eyed Peas are. The are studio artists, not true performing artists. Love live show, it shows the masters of music like Usher and Slash. Fergie, dear, you Slashed Sweet Child O Mine. Pun intended. OUCH.
Couldn't agree more.....why did they have to turn her mic on.
It was a horrible show......You call that music.....Its a bunch of crap....
