^^ Thanks for the video, darkhorse! Well done editing it! A jumping crowd is a delight to see. ^ I don't know how the guy can shout like that when it's quiet Sweet selfie moment! If someone should happen to find a video of when they set up the stage and things, I'd love to see it. Logistics is fascinating lol.

Thank you for the youtube upload, Darkhorse. Sorry I don't know your name, I'm V. This is beautiful and what I expected from my band. If other people don't like it, that's just too bad. Beyonce should have just been an accessory in Up & Up, just a longer version.

Well, I don't like it. I dreaded the Super Bowl from the beginning, didn't think it was for them and still wish they'd said no. There. It has nothing to do with their performance, which I thought was great (other performers weren't needed or at least should have been limited.) I'm very proud to be a fan and will give them my undying support any time of any day. I love the boost in sales and love the great tweets and good reviews. However, without rehashing my distaste for the Super Bowl halftime show in general, I dreaded backlash, and I can't help it, I simply don't like people trashing something I love, especially since they have no idea who they are trashing. I just hope Chris means it when he says that this kind of stuff doesn't bother him anymore. I'm taking a breath and trying to take a page from his book. Sorry for the rant.

Backlash? Nothing compared to what Beyonce is being accused of. Our boys will be alright.

You're welcome, guys. Call me darkhorse for now - I don't mind that at all. I might reveal my name later... perhaps when I get to meet one of you offline.

John Oliver is so great at skewering things that need to be skewered, but not our boys! It seems like Seth was trying to be nice about the situation, though.

I have never heard of the guy... so who is HE to say this stuff? Everyone is entitled to their own opinions of COURSE.. but seriously. How rude. I only watched a couple of minutes and turned it off.

Can I express what (I assume) will be an unpopular opinion about the halftime show? (Sorry, I haven't read the rest of the thread since I 've been away from the site for a while)
I don't think Coldplay really fit the whole super bowl image. Of course they performed well, but they're too genuine and rough around the edges. I feel like Beyonce and Bruno Mars worked better because they're straightforward pop, matching outfits, dance routines etc. They just came off as a bit cheesy in my opinion, like they were third-wheeling at some weird Beyonce-Bruno Mars date.
I'm aware I'm making no sense but its Friday afternoon and my brain is mush lol :P
Edit: my phone corrected super bowl to super bowel... finding that more funny than I perhaps should be considering i leave school in 15 weeks
