Prince, Joel, Cirque – Stars All Shine

Cirque Du Soleil’s performers are amazing. Unfortunately, Miami’s drenching weather subdued their act. The aerials were smaller. The neon ensembles were displaced by the darkened skies and pelting drops. Despite dull music and the aforementioned weather, Cirque’s performance was proficient. However, the performance was less than expected.

Despite the rain worsening, Billy Joel’s national anthem was excellent. While rain drops covered his piano, Joel’s singing was understated and classic. The mood created brightened the impending doom.

Prince’s halftime was incredible. His music was energizing. His backdrop struck the perfect visual tone. Simply stated, Prince exceeded expectations. He also transcended generations. His halftime possessed a song for everyone. Prince’s show was amongst the greatest in Super Bowl history.
