I didn’t expect last night’s super bowl game to be so close. With the Pittsburgh Steelers dominating the first half, I thought the second half was going to be a snooze-fest. Fortunately, I was wrong and the 4th quarter ended up being very exciting to watch. highlights included Santonio Holmes’ last minute catch in the endzone, Kurt Warner’s passes to mega-talented Larry Fitzgerald and of course the 100 yard interception by James Harrison that ended the first half. Now that’s what a super bowl should be! loved it!

as for the musical performances. Journey (with Arnel Pineda) performing Don’t Stop Believin’ during the pre-game show – was a bit underwhelming. Not sure if it was the setting, the crowd or the band, it just felt a bit off. Don’t get me wrong, I saw Pineda with Journey over the summer and they rocked but this performance was just “meh”.

As for Bruce Springsteen – it’s too bad they only allotted 12 minutes for the Boss. Springsteen knows how to engage the crowd and I just love watching him perform. the band’s performance ranks right up there along with U2 and Prince for the best half-time shows ever.
