2011 Grey Cup Halftime Show....
Moderator: Team Captains
bachman was part of the best two half time shows in the last 2 decades, with the exception of Shania.
Personally, I would be happy with Jim Brynes or Tom Jackson.

I liked the tunes, but seeing some rockin' old guys is not for me or for my kids...
How about the future of pop. She's a hologram on stage with real musicians and a sold out audience with glow sticks...her managers will never worry about rehab...

I'll admit, I didn't see the half time show, but from what I've heard Bachman-Turner (minus Overdive) were excellent. The Grey Cup is a celebration of the uniquely Canadian game, and embracing Canadian traditions and history is part of the festival. That doesn't mean I want to see Trooper or Chiliwack play at every Grey Cup half-time show, but occasionally if you can roll out an icon of Canadiana rock & roll and make it work, that's a great thing.
Now despite what I have said, AC/DC would be MASSIVE for the 2011 Grey Cup! If they decide to go Canadian I would want to see Neil Young (electric not unplugged) or Rush.

Have to admit that I am not in the demographic that the CFL wants to impress, but I absolutely thought that the Bauchman and Turner halftime show was great. Not to impressed with the TSN hostess who pronounced it Buckman, but we are apparently in very different age categories. Really the CFL is trying for a younger audience outside of the football core and I am not sure that the graybeards grab their attention. Lets put it this way, my children weren't buying what my wife and I were selling them at halftime.
Entertainment value = an all time low
yeah but, if children knew what was best, they wouldnt need parentsRammer wrote:Have to admit that I am not in the demographic that the CFL wants to impress, but I absolutely thought that the Bauchman and Turner halftime show was great.

Did some one say AC/DC at the Grey cup halftime show, yeah that would be pretty sweet, I'm assuming the sound would be better to, with the new roof.
Some of my choices for Canadian talent would be The Hip,and Rush.
Bachman and Turner were great and I agree with pennw, what was that pregame stuff, I also turned the channel.
Scott Ackels probably is a good one to write to cause he is GM of the Grey cup committee.

I'm young, and I think BTO was good. The anthem was butchered, however.

I thought there was nothing wrong with the anthem. Then again, I don't believe most Canadians are accustomed to hearing the anthem in two different languages. The Trews, while not my preferred music, and I don't know how well they know French, was pretty pleased.Anglophone wrote:I'm young, and I think BTO was good. The anthem was butchered, however.
If you want butchered, I'll point you to the Vancouver 2010 Opening Ceremonies or when that guy in Vegas tried to sing it to the tune of O Christmas Tree

I don't care at all about halftime shows. Frankly, I would rather watch the TSN panel dissect the game. I thought the Black Eyed Peas in 2005 were about as young and hip and international as the Grey Cup could get. A group that appeals to a similar demographic would be better than a recycled Canadian act from the '70s or '80s.
