L1- The Super Bowl!

Who doesn’t love the super bowl? I don’t even watch football and I still look forward to it. For me it holds a lot of family memories. My dad’s birthday always takes place during the super bowl weekend. For many years we held a family party and would watch the game together.  My dad would always make a cake that had an exact replica of the field and team logos. While my mom and I were preparing the appetizers and the taco bar for dinner.  Overall it was just nice to be surrounded by family, food and a great game to watch. But the game of football doesn’t interest me, the halftime show and commercials are what I’m interested in.  Last year had some of the best commercials. My favorite was the volts wagon with the little kid obsessed with Darth Vador and was trying to use the “force”.  Another one that I enjoyed were the Doritos commercials. I thought it was a very clever idea to have an average office man and a little dog obsessed with the chip. I also thought it was smart to have a few short commercials showing the product instead of one long commercial.
The half time shows are one of the most talked about things about the super bowl. This past year the queen of pop preformed, Madonna. I thought her entrance was over the top, just like her. Even though it was clear she was lip sinking it was still a remarkable performance. For having one rehearsal and no sound check before she went live, it was truly inspiring.  I thought it was great the way she mixed between old and new music, and added some other musicians from other genres.  She and CeeLo Green were incredible when they sang Like a Prayer together as the last song.
Over all I think the super bowl is getting bigger and more impressive every year and I can’t wait to see what they do next year.
