Im sorry... but as a musician im qualified to say.. THEY FRIGGEN SUCKED!!! If they wouldnt have been wearing those skin tight pants.. they would have been booed off the stage, for sure! And they stole that chit from "David Lee Roth" back in the day!! Remember those white spandex pants he used to sport??? OOOOOOMMMMMMMMGGGGGGGGG!!! He was never off key, but if he ever would have been, not one broad would have noticed it!!!!

Bunch of musical savants those Jonas brothers. If only I was a nine year-old surdo-mute I could have enjoyed it.

for a halftime show? do these guys really appeal to a NFL watchin crowd? I bet they had to bus in the teenyboppers What is really sad I normally never watch sports on tv but I did watch the game yesterday due to my son asked me to sit and watch it with him. Hummm the half time was a big disappointment to me shshshh I mean heck I would have rather watched anything but what they had at half time shshshhs

for a halftime show? do these guys really appeal to a NFL watchin crowd? I bet they had to bus in the teenyboppers I was saying the exact same thing at work the other morning when my friend said they'd be doing half time show for the super bowl.. My comment was along the lines of 'thats where the NFL keeps going wrong, they bring in shows NOONE watching these games really wants to see'. His reply to that was 'But they're the hottest group around right now'.. I couldn't help but just shake my head and walk away ashamed. lol I thought Springsteen was doing the halftime show for the Super Bowl this year (again, not the brightest choice, in my own personal opinion). Jonas Brothers....'But they're the hottest group around right now'....until next week. None of these flavor-of-the-week "bands" in the past 15 years or better have any longevity anyway. Any guesses as to why that might be?

Any guesses as to why that might be? how come bands with no talent make it..i see your point. the music industry has become more like how good you look and what sells even if they have no talent.

Any guesses as to why that might be? because their voices change? because there fan base grows up? because amreicans have short attention spans ?

You are correct (you get a gold star!). The music industry is no longer about talent, it's all about money.

The half time show choice could be related to any number of choices... ~maybe the people that watch the game are not that interested in the half time show and bringing in the biggest teeny bopper band of today may help with viewer ship during the half time show...? ~maybe they can sell different ad time during this show and increase the revenue...? ~maybe everyone else was busy or too much money...??? However....IF I was a bar owner...I would be pretty thrilled about this cause I could run a bunch of in house promotions and and sell more drinks cause the crowd would not be watching the show... who knows what/why... just makin a couple of guesses....

I think it was when Frampton live did so well that the companies tried to duplicate the success and could not they moved to the next big thing I don't think so. "Frampton Comes Alive!" sold over 16 million units worldwide so far since its release in '76, and as of this year, it's still the fourth biggest selling live album ever. People are still buying it. Frampton himself is still selling out concerts (I saw him twice within a month of each other a few years ago -- both shows were standing room only). I think the problem lies in the fact that there is no such thing as a "talent scout" anymore. Record companies used to employ people who went out and scoured up and coming acts to bring before the company president, who would give the okay if he (and the board of directors) felt they were a viable enough product, and would be lucrative enough to sell records. People no longer need that today. Anybody can make their own music on their home computer today. The middle-man is completely cut out, and in fact, no one needs to shop themselves around to any of the major record companies anymore. They can mass-produce their own material and sell it themselves at a substantially cut rate. Personally, I think people have become so desensitized as to what true talent is anymore, that all they know is the fodder that's been offered to them over the past 20 years. Very few artists to emerge over that span of time have really had anything to actually "say", and the ones that do often fall by the wayside for not being "commercial enough".
