For me, there are 2 ways to do it. 1: Making the show (personally I don't care much about choreography and big special effects, they often feel empty for me. I prefer the more personal and spontaneous artists, but I know what you mean and know that a lot of people agree) 2: Making the recognisable. The legends. This could both be pop (like Madonna) and rock (Springsteen, Stones, Macca and so on) It's a matter of considering what's important, as there are both the young and the more mature and I guess more and more money is in the hands of those who prefer the younger music. Personally I keep dreaming. Could be artists like Metallica, AC/DC or The Black Keys but also more pop-like artists like Beck or The Killers But then again. It's only 12 minutes, and next year I may be watching with friends talking through all of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I thought too, until I actually started watching it and I realized it's much more than that It's action-packed, the action is simply packed in shorter, but more explosive moments. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Monzanator 3,594 Posted February 12, 2019 #125 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Kyler Murray has announced he wants to be a NFL QB after all. Wonder what numbers he puts at the combine where he finally gets measured too (5'9" here we go). Woman kicker Kareem Hunt has been signed by the Browns (by his old Chiefs GM Dorsey). He still hasn't been suspended but that's to be expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympian1010 7,477 Posted November 24, 2019 #130 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Nobody Wins (as usual Harvard/Yale students using irony in a very clever way): Protests are definitely becoming more frequent in US sports. The athletes, and now the fans. From the NBA to the NFL to the NCAA. I fully expect to see podium protests from US athletes at Tokyo next year. “Sport has the power to change the world.
