Super Bowl vs. ‘Idol’
It’s the one TV event that pulls in audiences larger than even “American Idol.” And it’s on today.
Like many Americans, I watch the Super Bowl for the commercial breaks. And the halftime show.
I always am fascinated by how much the 30-second commercials cost advertisers. This year, the Super Bowl spots sold for as much as $2.6 million. In comparison, advertisers who run during “Idol” breaks on Fox are paying an average of $620,000 per spot.
As far as the halftime show, I think next year’s show would be a huge hit if it was a combination of mini performances from all six “Idol” winners. Not that I think Prince will put on a bad show during today’s game, I just think things haven’t been as interesting since the Janet Jackson/Justin Timberlake snafu.

Your damn right things have not been as interesting since Superbowl 04 and Janet & Justin’s so called snafu. It been a snore fest…..Cry havoc and let loose the dogs of BOREDOM.

Please! I’d rather see good, solid performances by people like Paul McCartney, the Rolling Stones, and Prince any day, rather than Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake! I don’t care what body parts they show! Prince did a great job last night!
