Super Bowl Review

WAY TO GO, PACKERS!!! I'm not one for sports, and I rarely watch football, but this was a fun game to watch!

As for the half time show, The Black Eyed Peas did their job. They entertained. Their song choice was great, and Slash was a nice breath of fresh air and was a great pick. Usher was un-necessary and didn't seem to fit. Perhaps the most thrilling part of the show was the epic flash mob that featured hundreds of talented, lit up dancers. (It almost looked like the show was sponsored by TRON: Legacy...)

It's too bad the Super Bowl producers can't catch a break. For the past few years, they have recieved slack for pre-recording and lip syncing their performances. This year, they go live again and they experience technical difficulties (both with turning mics on and off and with auto-tuning not sounding the best). I do give the producers credit for being bold and going live. That's never an easy feat.

As for the best part of the Super Bowl, the commercials, audiences certainly had their fair share of laughs and entertainment this year. Check out my list below!

Top 10 List:

1. Best Buy - "What's a Bieber?"
2. VW - "Little Vader"
3. Doritios - "Grandpa"
4. Carmax - "Feels Like"
5. Chevy Cruze - "Facebook Status"
6. Bud Light - "Product Placement"
7. Chevy Cruz - "Retirement Home"
8. Budwiser - "Tiny Dancer"
9. Teleflora - "Your rack is unreal"
10. Coke - "Guards on each side" (typical warm, fuzzy, feel good Coke ad!)

Honorable Mentions

The X-Factor - "He's Back" (mainly because it was cool with awesome effects)
NFL - "Best Fans Ever" (TV clip montage)
Chevy - "Great idea for an ad"
GoDaddy - "Joan Rivers"
Pepsi Max - "Jogger"

For some reason, Ozzy Osbourne just knows how to make a good Super Bowl commercial!

This upcoming week is going to be full of tons of events, so stay tuned and watch my tweets for more updates soon!!
