Superbowl performance- a bust?

After the most watched even on television, the Superbowl, there is always a buzz about the half-time performance and the commercials. You can read about many of these ratings on The Washington Post Website. One user says:
"The Peas don't possess even a fraction of the musical credibility owned by recent Superbowl halftime performers like The Who, Bruce Springsteen or Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. But the abundance of Tron-esque effects in their performance, not to mention the trademark Peas spunk, managed to make this halftime spectacle more entertaining than expected."
I don't know how you feel about this quote, but I'm going to have to agree. Although I enjoy listening to the Black Eyed Peas' music, like I Got A Feeling, Where is the Love, Let's Get it Started, I don't think that they are a very talented bunch. In concert, their voices sound horrendous. Especially at the Superbowl. The only reason I was entertained was because of their energy, and surprises, like when Usher and Slash showed up on stage. Most of all, I liked their dancers that lit up. What did you think of that? My favorite was when they all got together and made green arrows pointing to the stage. I also loved when they all swayed together and made pumping hearts. The idea was very cool, but could have been preformed better. Definitely not my favorite Superbowl half-time show. My favorite might be Michael Jackson's performance, but it's hard to tell with all the superstars that get on stage. 
Here is an image of the Black Eyed Peas lit up performance:
