Since many of you indicated on the thread about Nelly Furtado in the Events forum that you didn't like her halftime performance, I'm curious about what you feel was the best Grey Cup halftime performance. The poll options are only for the years that I was able to get information for. If you particularly like a certain halftime show that I haven't listed, you can mention them.

'The Guess Who' in 2000, I suppose. I don't really like anyone else on that list.

I can judge by our roofgater that the halftime show isn't geared for true Lion fans, as more than half the room left as it came on. So once again the halftime show isn't meant for us and I am fine with that, although the Guess Who would be my choice to listen to, I still went with Shania as I recall her porduction being the best enjoyment for myself. :wink:

I saw them but I certainly didn't hear them. The acoustics at BC Place are atrocious.

The Guess Who was the best and only halftime show I've seen. I've always gone for pee/beer/food runs during the rest.

Where I was sitting during the halftime show this year, it sounded really clear (I dont like Nelly Furtado, but it was loud and clear). But then I saw some of it on TV, and it sounded like crap! I donno if it was just the mic's they used at CBC or all the speculation might have been right, that she did a Live performance for TV and a pre-recorded one for the Stadium.

Oh and as for best half time show... I have no clue.
