Halftime ratings DOWN from last year

Ratings. Although Sunday’s Super Bowl broke a ratings record in metered markets, Deadline reports that Beyoncé failed top last year’s performer, Madonna, in ratings measured during the halftime-show half-hour. Beyoncé’s halftime show, which occurred in the 8 – 8:30 PM ET time slot, scored a 48.2/71. That’s down from the 48.1/72 of Madonna’s 2012 halftime performance. Madonna had 114 million viewers, more than the actual game and Beyoncé had her ratings go from 100 Millon to 95 Millon during her halftime performance.

I like Bey more but she picked really bad songs. Wtf was up with her song with Sean Paul?

That one still baffles my mind.

baby boy is a great song
lillylilacs 4th-Feb-2013 07:27 pm (UTC)
I was so confused when she started singing Baby Boy.

And to this day whenever I hear the phrase "baby boy" the song gets stuck in my head, but I never even really liked it lol

Edited at 2013-02-04 08:00 pm (UTC)
malocudoviste 4th-Feb-2013 07:29 pm (UTC)
it's a great song,but she should've done run the world instead
filmfreakfranco 4th-Feb-2013 07:29 pm (UTC)
baby boy >>>>>> anything from '4'
tiki876 4th-Feb-2013 07:30 pm (UTC)
mte like when was the last time sean paul was even relevant?
brenden 4th-Feb-2013 07:30 pm (UTC)
baby boy was the shining moment of that show tho
nene718 4th-Feb-2013 07:31 pm (UTC)
baby boy is flawless bye
ediesedgwick 4th-Feb-2013 07:32 pm (UTC)
I wish she hadn't ended with Halo. I hate that song sfm

pistol_eyes 4th-Feb-2013 07:39 pm (UTC)
The setlist was all wrong lbr
ohmiya_sg 4th-Feb-2013 07:46 pm (UTC)
I didn't even know some of them. It was a bad call for a show watched mainly by non-fans.
finchandreese 4th-Feb-2013 07:47 pm (UTC)
I LOVED her song choices!!! Except for any acapella beginning that is NOT Crazy in love and is followed by those horns. It just doesn't work. Love on top didn't work.

I LOVED Baby Boy, that dance is just heaven when B does it lol.

And End of Time OMFG that DANCE!

I hate Beyonce, because she's such a narcisst but she gets me stanning HARD whenever she performs.

The only pointless thing was putting those two backup dancers (one of them can't even dance) up on stage.

Edited at 2013-02-04 07:47 pm (UTC)
licorrice 4th-Feb-2013 07:52 pm (UTC)
imo she should have done get me bodied or countdown.

I love baby boy, but she should have not done it.
gaga 4th-Feb-2013 07:56 pm (UTC)
i love that she brought back an old obscure one for the fans, baby boy was my shit in middle school
lucciolaa 4th-Feb-2013 07:56 pm (UTC)
I wish she chose Diva for one of them.

demiiiiii 4th-Feb-2013 08:06 pm (UTC)
ia. i found it underwhelming for that very fact..amazing, but still not the best choice in songs.
putyohandsonme 4th-Feb-2013 08:10 pm (UTC)
Yea a lot of people at work said they hated the music but like the dancing and that the music was too loud they couldn't hear her singing, I haven't watched yet so I have no opinion.
hisjulliet 4th-Feb-2013 08:17 pm (UTC)
wrong. that song is flawless.
these_eyes_lie 4th-Feb-2013 08:19 pm (UTC)
Yeah, I've never even heard of "End of Time" before (Sorry 4 fans). Crazy In Love is such an iconic song for her--putting it as the second song was a mistake, imo. I looooved the opening, though.
rogue 4th-Feb-2013 08:21 pm (UTC)
she needed more end of time, countdown, get me bodied

nobody asked for baby boy. nobody.
laceandskin 4th-Feb-2013 08:23 pm (UTC)
Baby Boy is a flawless song.
sugary_placenta 4th-Feb-2013 08:58 pm (UTC)
Baby Boy and the DC "reunion" were the best parts of the show tho.
_xxtom 4th-Feb-2013 09:35 pm (UTC)
Baby Boy/Dutty Wine was the best part of the whole performance
but ending with Halo was a mistake tbh. And she should have done Lose My Breath with DC
justyourfaceha 5th-Feb-2013 03:07 pm (UTC)
The only song I don't think she should have done was End Of Time. It's an okay song but no one really knows it unless they're a fan.
spartacus 4th-Feb-2013 07:26 pm (UTC)
I thought Madonna's performance was more entertaining, even though Beyonce's was great.

spartacus 4th-Feb-2013 07:36 pm (UTC)
Idk why people are surprised they are being compared. Next year the performance will be compared to Beyonce's.
filmfreakfranco 4th-Feb-2013 07:35 pm (UTC)
same, i don't think Bey's setlist and song order did her justice
grammaire 4th-Feb-2013 09:04 pm (UTC)
Agreed.
oh7 4th-Feb-2013 09:22 pm (UTC)
To me, Madonna came off as an old woman trying to be hip.
whatyawaiting4 4th-Feb-2013 10:54 pm (UTC)
Beyonce's was great but Madonna's last year was much more creative and entertaining. It just felt like a different league than any other halftime show!

goldengal1193 4th-Feb-2013 07:26 pm (UTC)
I liked Beyonce's way more than I liked Madonna's.

If I get beyonce tickets I will be seeing her and lana in the same month and will probably die so get your epilogues ready tbh.

distant_lines 4th-Feb-2013 07:28 pm (UTC)
I felt like they didn't spend enough time on some songs. It was like they were trying to fit so much in, that you wound up with a lot of nothing.
bostongirl2003 4th-Feb-2013 08:45 pm (UTC)
ia, and the audio for me was so bad I could barely hear her.
speedychi 4th-Feb-2013 07:28 pm (UTC)

Bey's half time show was the first one I have watched since Janet Jackson's nipple.

lol me too.
foryoursake08 4th-Feb-2013 08:15 pm (UTC)
I watched Tom Petty a few years ago, but otherwise Bey was the first one I've watched since like the 90s.

whitegirlthin 4th-Feb-2013 08:30 pm (UTC)
I just realized I only watch the Superbowl Halftime if there's a female Pop star performing. Britney, Janet, Madonna, and Beyonce are the only ones I've ever cared to watch.

I'm stunned by how many people in the UK stayed up for this.

still cant believe i did stay up for it,american football is boring as hell
m_h_p 4th-Feb-2013 08:05 pm (UTC)
Haha, I just watched lots of documentaries on BBC iPlayer while occasionally checking Twitter to see if the first half was over.

Still have no idea how NFL works.
wasster 4th-Feb-2013 08:16 pm (UTC)
I actually found it genuinely entertaining(meaning the entire thing). Though we were all drunk...so I guess that helps.
anchors_oceans 4th-Feb-2013 08:35 pm (UTC)
sucked. i've been tired all day and can't shake it. :(

Ikr?! And they say it's National Hangover Day in the US... Try doing it Europe! ;)

mte, i didn't enjoy the game as much as last year and though I liked the halftime show I don't feel like I should have bothered staying up

Switzerland here, I did it for the football. Went to grab a bite during half-time, then came back for more football.
leopard_legs 4th-Feb-2013 09:16 pm (UTC)
I haven't seen any of it yet :( I was going to record (partly because I've got weirdly into american football from Friday Night Lights) but Schindlers List was on

I made my choice!
