That was the most horrendous halftime show I have ever seen in my life. What on earth was that? Jesus Christ. I wanted to kill myself at times. The funny thing was when Landon Donovan was on the field. The said his name, and no one cheered. Then this little girl from Andover came up, and the whole crowd give her lots of applause.
What happened during the halftime show? I saw nothing on t.v. I saw a bunch of people running around similar to that of the all-star game (except I was at the all-star game)
It was a joke. There were two people who were playing with fire. Another was spinning a big silver box, and the final person was gyrating in a circle. At the same time about 200 girls were twirling around. What happened ot Puddle of Mud. I could have sworn that was the halftime show. I have no clue who they are, but it could not have been worse then that.
MLS is known for its halftime shows. Do you remember Christina Aguilera at the first MLS Cup? Hard to believe that they landed somebody so famous. I guess she wasn't so big when they got her.
It looked like an astounding collaboration between the North Korean People's Performance Art Army and Criss Angel.
I was thinking a bush league version of "Cirque de Soleil" meets "Up With People." I don't know who came up with idea but it stunk. I'd rather see a mini youth soccer match taking place... that would have been much more fun. The Magpie
"Hooray For Everything presents its 'Salute To The Western Hemisphere'...the dancin'est hemisphere ever!"
Actually it was MLS Cup 99, also at Foxboro. We sat on the opposite side of the field and, since we didn't realize who she was, we watched for only a few seconds before wandering off in search of more beer. In an amazing coincidence, I was in Pittsburgh in either '91 or '92 (I can't recall which) for the playoff series between the Pirates and the Braves and little Christina Aguilera, a local girl barely in her teens, belted out the National Anthem. I don't remember much of that performance, either, because we were off in search of more Iron City. That means that I've seen Christina Aguilera twice, each time without realizing it. Is this a great country or what? Thank you MLS!
I think most people just stared incredulously at the stupidity of it. The only fun part of it was when the guy in the center almost ran over one of the girls with that contraption he was in and when the muskets went off after the fireworks. There were some people picking up the fireworks platforms when the muskets went off and they ran away and dove for cover because they thought the platforms that they were picking up were still firing off.
Maybe some of the skills competitions that are done at the All-Star game would work as halftime entertainment.
I say ban anytype of halftime show that has dancers, cheerleaders, acrobats or musicians. WHO CARES. I much rather watch dogs chase frissbees or watch 10 year old kick penalties.
