The NFL held a press conference on Thursday to introduce the Super Bowl entertainment for the game on Sunday. The Who will be play the Bridgestone Halftime Show, with country star and former American Idol winner Carrie Underwood singing the National Anthem and actress, rapper and singer Queen Latifah singing America the Beautiful. The Who started their press conference playing two full songs, Behind Blue Eyes and Pinball Wizard, acoustically and sounded amazing. They answered a few questions from the media, including their British take on American football in comparison to rugby. "We have rugby, which is like American football without the breaks and the helmets and the padding", said lead singer Roger Daltrey. "It's a similar game, not the same, but very similar. And apparently they get less injuries than you guys with all of the padding and the helmets." In addition, Daltrey decided to root for the New Orleans Saints strictly to support the underdog team in the game, while Pete Townshend took the Colts, just to be opposite of Daltrey. They then closed the press conference with a full version of Won't Get Fooled Again. Carrie Underwood and Queen Latifah addressed the media together and answered a slew of questions. Underwood is excited about singing the National Anthem, but is very nervous about possibly forgetting the words on the big stage. "I think everybody is sentiment when they get up to sing a song that is so patriotic", said Underwood. "I think for me, my biggest fear is the words. Of course you sang these songs a million times and everybody knows the words, but if you are going to mess up, that would be the one time you'd do it, right? I just want to do a good job." Both, again, wanted to see a good game, but took the New Orleans Saints because they were the underdog. |
