Same stage, same pyro and he couldn’t even lip synch his own song correctly. It was a total bobo production.

The country acts were decent, but I'm biased as I do like country music.

The funny part is Bad Bunny was done, and the game coverage resumed before Kid Rock even took the stage, so I missed his actual performance.

Make no mistake, The TP USA halftime show was a Whites Only show whose message was one of White Supremacy in that America is only for whites and if you aren't white, you can't be a real American.

I was somewhere where they flipped to it and having liked Kid Rock as a kid in high school back in 99 when he came out, I was interested from a nostalgic perspective. That said, the whole thing just seemed a little off. Had they just been putting on a country concert it would’ve been fine, but this was a halftime show of the biggest event of the year and every artist came out and sang 2 full songs like it was contractual. By the time Kid Rock, who was the actual headliner came on, halftime was almost over and it was 25 minutes into the show. The Kid Rock performance has probably been discussed already. He’s a 55 year old man jumping around and head banging like he’s trying to be 30 again, lip syncing poorly and then only got the same amount of air time as the warm up acts. Like WTF??? Not to mention you go from Bawitaba to a minute of violens playing while he does a wardrobe change to sing a very slow song to end it. You’d think these people would want to end on a high note but nope. It probably appeased those that wanted it. I just thought it was a mess just from a production standpoint

It was awful.

Saw one country singer sing something like

...i like to catch my fish
...i like to drive my truck

LMAO, how original

Then the "star" of the show, Milli Rob Ritchie, aka Kid Rock, took the stage with what looked to be cutoff jean shorts and proceeded to sing a song from 1999 (you know the last time he was relevant), a song he wrote where he lip-synched the recording. TPUSA is so out to lunch they have no idea that a current "controversy" with rock bands (lets just assume Rock is rock) using backing tracks, I'm talking backing tracks to enhance the performance, not to outright replace the music (unless you are Motley Crue), and the fans hate it. But in Maga-Ville they probably don't care because it was the "all (white) american halftime show" is all right even if the "musician" is faking every fucking word.

As I asked on another thread, IS THIS the best you guys got?
