John Mellencamp, Faith Hill, and Kelly Clarkson?
I dont get it, they never actually get musical acts that I or any normal person wants to watch or listen to. I know they must be catering to middle america or something but surely youd think maybe an actual rock band or rapper would be better suited to the NFL fan, what do you think?

i like some rap more like wu tang clan and older stuff but it doesn't take a genius to figure that a large portion of people who watch the NFL like rap too, so why the hell dont they get rappers? is that just too bad for the 'prestigious' NFL image?

marcscz - i agree with that theory BUT like i said the NFL image is shoddy as is, idk if white women will necessarily watch even if reba mcentire is singing
why not just please the fans you have, because ill be honest, im not going to watch the pregame crap and i might miss the game completely tonight, i guess im in the minority there

Due to the fact that the "pre-game crap" is in Indianapolis, Indiana--John Mellencamp--an Indiana musician--is the headliner. Faith Hill is to appeal to the "country music" fans--a large percentage of Americans, plus she's attractive. Kelly Clarkson appeals to the pop culture/ pop music "young adult/teen" crowd. Also, if you listened to any of the local coverage, you would've heard an up-and-coming rock band called Hinder. They were actually very good. Lighten up. It's just some fun before the NFL season. It's not some kind of personal vindetta against fans of rock or rap. It's just a way to celebrate the Colts superbowl win one last time and to celebrate the kick off to the season. It should be a very fun game to watch--after all, FOOTBALL is what it should all be about--NOT the music. That's my opinion anyway.

Yes, I agree. However, the league is trying to attract people from other "market segments" hoping that they will watch the game as well and get addicted to the hype and game action. I guess they are trying to get more women and teenagers to follow the NFL. They already know that their target audience will be tuned in no matter who is performing.

Because most of the people that attend these events are middle to upper class white professionals and they don't want their children listening to rap music. Janet Jackson was the last black performer they will have for a while and what did she do to screw it up for the race, she flashed a little breast.

Rock is an american genre of music.. the NFL is an american game... Why can't they put the two together? and btw.. a man watching football doesn't really want to see Faith Hill do they?

Yep. Do remember though! These are the people who hire the Rolling Stones, Prince and Paul McCartney for the Super Bowl.

You are a Roy Orbison fan and you want to hear a rapper? I don't get that either.
