Twohour Event Broadcast Live Open

Based on headlining draw alone, organizers could easily have renamed this years event yawnapalooza. The two-hour event was broadcast live on an open signal on hbo, and it featured a mix of historical speeches, presented by stars like tom hanks, and classic anthems like u2 ,s surging martin luther king, jr. It came just before the halftime show of the super bowl featuring legendary rocker bruce springsteen. Blige got concert-goers dancing even obama, who grooved in his seat during her soulful version of lean on me. And again, the scene with lil kim, biggie and me in the studio i wasn t aware of what was going on, but i would say overall they did a great job.
