What a joke of a half time show. What was the meaning of it?

The meaning was to cover their face in a pandemic. I can’t imagine how hard it is to put together a half time show like no other in history trying to make it entertaining while following a long list of precautions.

A regular mask would have accomplished the same thing. These were over the top and we said they looked like jock straps also.

I thought it was great & pretty epic. Loved the songs and the choreography. I mean, not every half time show has to just be "Strippers R Us" , do they?

I thought the Weeknd put on a good show. I really like his music but do agree that I didn't understand the point of the mass dancers and their headgear. Was he trying to pull an Eminem and 100 Slim Shadys?

 

[Kittyblue]

OMG that's what I said!!!

I really like his music but I thought this show kinda sucked.

I thought the jock straps where actually plastic surgery recovery bandages.

It would appear The Weeknd was playing the long con with his plastic surgery recovery and outings in bandages a month or so ago.

Alluding to his upcoming half time show.

Bandages. He can’t feel his face.

I had to google who the artist was, and I still haven't heard of him. Guess I'm officially old elevator music bands now.

I need to see a photo. I can't picture this.

Who was the 'singer'?

The Weeknd. I had never heard of him. Thought it was maybe a group.

 

[Southernmiss]

I was thinking underwear on their heads.

It was a meh show to me. His songs are not high energy halftime show type songs to me.

The Weekend

The Weekend

That's the guy's name, the weekend?

 

[BrianL]

I'm not the biggest fan of The Weeknd - and I HATE how he spells his name - but I thought the show was fine. I did really like the sets and thought the masks were cool. It was fine, though there was no big guest artist like they usually do.

So here is what he had to say about the bandages:

“The significance of the entire head bandages is reflecting on the absurd culture of Hollywood celebrity and people manipulating themselves for superficial reasons to please and be validated,” he explained to Variety.

That is his professional name. Per Wikipedia it is Abel Makkonen Tesfaye. I don’t know much about him, but heard he put several millions of his own money into the show.
