Usher and Slash Join Super Bowl Halftime Show

By PopEater Staff Posted Feb 3rd 2011 10:35AM

Usher and former Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash will join the Black Eyed Peas halftime show at the Super Bowl Sunday, an insider revealed to the AP.

The source spoke anonymously as the appearances were planned as a surprise for Sunday's game between the Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Black Eyed Peas were notably the first young group chosen to perform since Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake's instance of indecency in 2004.

Let's hope the performance goes better for Usher than his recent gigs -- he was kicked in the nose by a fan in December, then booed and walked off stage in January.

Usher is a fantastic musician and performer and Slash is a guitar hero. I like this line up.

Eh, just don't see where or how they fit in with what was already setup with BEP's. Now there just turning it into yet another smorgasborg of the least desirable's. The BEP's and Usher are OK but why Slash? I guess it doesn't really matter though b/c HT shows have been junk since Shania in Dallas. Surprised the didn't go looking for Run DmC or Milli-Vanilli!!!

Maybe it's because Slash will bring some talent to the stage. He is voted one the top ten guitarist, but then you would know that if you had any taste is music. Shania, really? And it also maybe because Fergie sings on Slash's new cd, and it's a damn site better than anything she does with the Black Eyed Peas.

I feel quite qualified to say that the sound during the halftime performance of the BlackEyed Peas (a band I like a lot) was some of the worst live event music mixing I've heard in modern sound times. They were singing to playback and it still was fraught with so many mixing mistakes it was hard to believe. If I were the performers I sure would be unhappy when I watched it played back. Oh well.....
