So, I am not a big Rihanna guy, but let’s give her some credit; she performed before the biggest live TV audience of the year pregnant. The set and supporting cast were spectacular, but her moves and energy were muted. I think we can forgive that. Also, she has not toured for 7 years or performed

A local TV critic noted that the production values of SB commercials used to be so much higher than they were for TV series and that made them stand out so much more. When there’s a big controversy over a referee’s call in a big game I assume it’s coming from bettors who lost money from the decisi

All the channels available to me in Canada did not provide the USA commercials. I think we got a couple of them, but not all. Halftime show was quite the logistical, lighting, and cable performance. Her voice was amazing as well. /Doug east...@mcd.on.ca On Sun, Feb 12, 2023, 10:47 p.m. Kevin
