I guess it's okay for Alanis to do the national anthem since she's a citizen now.
I wonder what the halftime show is?
Probally the same as always... Tim Legler and Gregg Anthony picking whoever is winning to win the series, and Stephen A. picking the Heat/Pistons to win, and if its the Heat about 10 minutes of analysis of how Snaq is doing.....
Kelly Clarkson... bah!
From my perspective, much, much better this time than Lisa Marie in 2003. I had to get up in the middle of that and go for a beer.
Stevie Wonder, nice.
They could have gotten better/more popular people....I'd love to have seen the black-eyed Peas. All these singers aren't really that exciting. Their music isn't exactly very hype and/or something that will make the viewers excited and jumpy.
Oh well, at least Will Smith is Hot. He looked good in Hitch
I think it's an excellent lineup. Stevie Wonder? Wow...
If you want "hype"...er...root for LA next year.
If the Heat make it to the Finals, I think they should have Shaq do pre-game and halftime entertainment, maybe that way he will be winded by the start of the 3rd Qtr.
He could perform Fu-Schnickens every game!
I think halftime will be that chick with all the bowls.
I cant wait that finals begin!!! We have live broadcastingcan`t belive
bleh, pre game and halftime shows.
Ga a, your sig pictures are awesome.
I'm sad that Kelly won't be at the SBC Center to sing this...dang.
LOL! Oh man...how does she do that? Crazy.I think halftime will be that chick with all the bowls.
They should get that lady that kicks the dishes onto her head while riding a unicycle.
That is fantastic.
Thanks!
I think that is what Summers was talking about ^^.
Damn. I'm ripping off her material, and I didn't even realize it.
My delivery was better, at least.
Sure sure.Damn. I'm ripping off her material, and I didn't even realize it.
My delivery was better, at least.
I think Submersed should perform at halftime followed by Alter Bridge. Anyone with me?
I hate both of them...
One has a problem finding a religion....and the other one can't rap.
So do they have anything planned in the event that the series goes past four games? I bet the talent level really starts to tale off as the series wears on. If this sucker goes seven we could very well see Styx dedicating a performance of "Mr. Roboto" to Tim Duncan.
