OK, disclaimor if we have Beyonce fans on here, you won't like it!
Now, I have never even listened to Beyonce music, but I thought, "What the heck, lets give it a chance".
1. I didn't hear one song that I would want to listen to twice. Was this the best material that Beyonce has done? Music is going to hell.
2. Technical note: Beyonce's vocals were too buried in the mix. I tried it on both the little speakers on my TV and the full stereo version. yeah, I know, it was a stadium, but I have heard other half-time superbowl shows, and the mix was MUCH better.
3. To her credit, she danced well. Must be there to take attention off the fact that the songs are, well to put it as cleanly as possible, "poo"
It has been a current thing for the last few years that, to appeal to a younger audience, they get someone from the last 5 or 10 years ago to perform, but this is a big mistake., It would make much more sense to have someone perform with a track record of, lets say thrity years or more. Take Cheap Trick, for instance, still rocking after all these years with rock anthems that would have the whole stadium going full tilt!
Anyway, that's my opinion.

Out here its "Rugby", thats the number one sport.
I remember way back in 1997 ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif) I was working for an airline at the time and was looking after a number of ATR72 aircraft on tarmac, when one particular aircraft was just minutes from leaving its gate. The pilot saw me from the cockpit and was waving frantically to get my attention. My first thoughts were "whats wrong now" I boarded the aircraft which was a full flight and heading direct to Auckland, anyway I made my way through the cabin got to the flight deck, the captain saw me took his headset off and turned to me with a serious look, and said....so what did you think of the "All Blacks Vs Scotland" game.
Here is me thinking whats wrong, and all he wanted to do was talk about rugby, anyway we had a quick chat about the game, Scotland lost by the way ![[Frown]](frown.gif) then I suggested that its time to get going, so he replied, we will catch up later. I walked back through the cabin and by this time everyone were in their seat belts, all ready to go. One of the cabin staff said...is everything ok...I replied yes everything is fine. ![[Smile]](smile.gif) I could not say, we were just talking about the Scotland game......ah memories ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

Here's another airline story for Graham.
About 5 years ago I was in Charlotte North Carolina waiting for a US Airways flight to London Gatwick. I arrived at the gate at boarding time, and we waited, and waited. The airline rep got on the speaker and announced that there was a mechanical problem with the plane, an Airbus A300, and they would have to fix it. An hour later she came back on the speaker and announced there would be a further delay of 2 hours because the pilot now had to take a test run to 45,000 FT to make sure it was OK to cross the Atlantic! ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)
