It takes a band like Coldplay, to watch television and fremdzuschämen for an entire stadium, a football stadium with 75,000 spectators, of which almost half pastel Signs holds up to form the words’ We believe in Love “.
But at this moment, the grand finale of the ten-minute show, it is also clear why a consensus band like Coldplay course the perfect Act is for the half-time break of the 50th Super Bowl. The annual final of the National Football League (NFL) is not just the most important American sports and television event. About 110 million annually watch. The Super Bowl is the most important American family day, central as Christmas and national holiday together for national self-assertion.
Nine months after the game there is a baby boom
it does not matter whether you are interested in football. All will enjoy the Super Bowl. In the supermarkets, there are large packs of Coke, chips and nacho dips at super prices. All media markets offer football field large flat screen TV on the dumping. The most anticipated trailer of blockbuster movies and the most elaborate Spots auto manufacturers and mobile giants celebrate during the commercial breaks its premiere.
And the NFL holds her spot all together : It shows singing “Super Bowl Babies” different vintages and to the slogan “Football is Family”. Because, according to a rumor nine months after the final in the city of the winning team especially many children are born. Ever the Versesamstraßung advertising was during this Super Bowl striking. It chattered razor, it joked beer taps, and a whole flock of sheep blared “Somebody to Love” by Queen
Lady Gaga sang the national anthem
Pre game Lady Gaga sang the national anthem – and was celebrated for the Internet. But the halftime break then was another, no less well-known stars.
Who, if not Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, was there at the beginning of the half-time show on the lawn kneel and Coldplay megahit “Viva la Vida” sing while all young people around him storm the field, are as minors always staged with arms raised and bright laughter, if they are to storm some form of stage, either the summer Olympics or “1, 2 or3″ with Michael Schanze.
and with whom, if not for Chris Martin no man wonders if he interrupts the singing short and yells at the camera:” We love you, wherever you are! ! We are in this together “(Loosely translated:” Before my love there is no escape You will not escape me! “) P11″ Meanwhile more young people put up rainbow-colored umbrellas and dancing Love
Then there was the lovely young musicians of YOLA, the Youth Orchestra Los Angeles that drew from their instruments the uplifting sounds of strength and hope and Coldplay, with “Paradise” and their current single “Adventure of a Lifetime “might enlarge A classical orchestra for the first time in the half-time show Des Superbowl
brought the luster vergang’ner days – Beyoncé
Coldplay had so willed, in view of the anniversary “the past combine with the future”, Chris Martin had previously stated. the youth orchestra has currently poppigste all classical conductors founded, Gustavo Dudamel, who also allowed to import the theme song from the current “Star Wars” movie; the YOLA was therefore “natural” for the future, so Chris Martin.
And vergang’ner for the shine day stand – Beyoncé. Only in America, where the question already applies to Opas birth as genealogy, you can announce Beyonce as a tribute to the past. And just when you do that with a British accent and look stylish separated from Gwyneth Paltrow has and just as good and noble as U2, but unlike Bono not constantly annoying with environmental protection and starving children, take one the Americans do not seem evil.
In fact applies Beyoncé’s appearance of 2013 when she denied the halftime break, even as one of the best Super Bowl shows. And this time she entered correctly with hips and hair to be swinging the pitch – but even the performance of the current single “Formation” with her co-dancers had cheerleader-like by Coldplay’s presence cleanliness. And, although previously actually still surprise guest Bruno Mars finally something “Uptown Funk” was brought into the Levi’s Stadium in San Francisco.
also, the dance-off between Beyoncé formation and Bruno boyband began promisingly – would there not suddenly Chris Martin his nose between them plugged to a common Mash-up various Coldplay songs on route, accompanied by video clips of various Super Bowl shows of recent years.
Michael Jackson was seen there, Whitney Houston, the Rolling Stones and some other variables, which once also alone stadiums filled -. but never sang before more than 110 million, so the half-Stars get, to this day no salary, but to be content grateful to the reimbursement of travel expenses
the key to the explanation of the Super Bowl
A band but lacked in retrospect. Here, the Super Bowl leaves with no better explanation.
Does anyone remember to “Up With People”? This was a tour group permanently cheerful teenager who toured in the seventies and eighties with their stage show on the globe, they always came from America and sometimes around the world, they sang along and danced in sync and all girls and some boys in the audience in the city halls from Sindelfingen to Santiago would immediately pack their bags and traveling, singing along and finally learn to dance in sync.
four times between 1976-1986 denied “Up With People” the Super Bowl half-time, as often as any other “band”. Millions of American families on their art leather sofa in Texas to sit well in the colors of their teams like the New York apartment, a loft in Seattle or on a bison fur in Alaska. Why, who can play there, on the keyboard American values can dance in your sleep needs. And best of sync.
This then also sheds new light on the excitement surrounding Katy Perry’s circus performance from last year. After Themselves in rode singing on a golden lion, you stole a fish the show – the left by two disguised as sharks dancers had almost as much trouble to remain as once Britney Spears, which resulted in the meantime the hashtag in clock #leftshark something as become synonymous with asynchronous dance.
memories of “Nipple-gate” wake
“Up with People” also explains the “Nipplegate” scandal of 2004. As Justin Timberlake pulled at her costume dancing with Janet Jackson with the teasing words “I’m gonna have you naked by the end of this song,” were a scarce second Janet Jackson’s right breast and decorated with a jewelry ring nipple to see. And once voices were raised that were reminiscent of the beginnings of the halftime shows, before the NFL noticed that her lost in the break million advertisers. As yet the brass bands of American Colleges, the entertainment disputed. So that part of America’s future, which has not managed in the football team of his university nor to the cheerleaders, but may still feel as an important part of the sports program.
” Football is Family “. Super Bowl, which means that we here in America may perhaps be unabashed bullies who enthusiastically pursue their heads, but when it comes down to it, then we smile happily in the future and dancing in sync
Just as” Up With People “. How Coldplay, Bruno Mars, Beyonce and many colorful rainbow umbrellas.
