Speaker 1 (00:00):
Are you so cryptic about it? Ed Sheeron Halftime super

(00:02):
Bowl Show. I don't know what he said, but you
just asked me what I like to see at cheronan
at Super a halftime show.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Yes, I've been a fantasy. I feel like it could work.
What do you mean, why are you so? What's the
problem here?

Speaker 3 (00:14):
Okay? So I feel like everyone can agree the ultimate
super Bowl halftime show requires a perfect mix of a
few things. Hit songs obviously that people know, fashion and spectacle.
Those are kind of the three main ingredients. And Ed
Sheeron's response on if he thinks that he'd be a
good choice for the halftime performer has a lot of

(00:35):
people praising him for his self awareness. So he said,
I've had this conversation before. I don't think English artists
are like I mean, there are some that have the
pizazz of super Bowl fireworks, dancers, blah blah blah, but
me going up there and be like, here's the A
team and here's perfect, Like, no one wants to see that.

(00:55):
He went on to say that if Beyonce was doing it,
and he came out to saying like his duet with
her perfect, that would make sense. But him doing it
solo is not something that he's super interested in, and
people really took what he said and had a field
day online. They have been praising him about not having
an ego and being super self aware.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
Also, people were.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
Saying, not naming names, but few past headliners could have
used that same level of self awareness.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (01:21):
Yeah, but people are like really praising the fact that
he's like he.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
Does he does have self aware I mean again, guys,
know this could work.

Speaker 4 (01:30):
First of all, Ed Sharon is a remarkable performer and captivates.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
I think what he's saying is it's normally a spectacle Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
And he wears his like normal garb with.

Speaker 4 (01:39):
His mind to be so spectaclely though.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
That could be the thing. He could utilize the foot pedal.

Speaker 4 (01:46):
He can get the whole arena or the whole stadium
to start like and then they become part.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
Of the song.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
Everybody's gonna say it was so boring, it was so this.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
He has a lot of tempo songs.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
Yeah, the risks like he's like he he gets himself
so well. Yeah, he makes sense. I love it. I
love him as so. I think it'd be fun to see.
But I get that, like you want a spectacle. You
don't want, not you some people would want. He doesn't
need to why he doesn't need to take the risk.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
And people are so critical of the super Bowl halftime show,
like everybody has like a thing to say about it.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
He just produced the super Bowl halftime. Shown't come out once,
like he could pick all the other artists make it.
Expect to him come out and play one. I could
do it, but he doesn't want to.

Speaker 4 (02:37):
Yeah, I understand, Yeah, yeah, I think he's being just
you know, he's playing it like that.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
No, no, no, no, he's honestly that self aware. You know that.
I think so, I don't. We don't know that.

Speaker 4 (02:48):
We talked Sharon on the regel.

Speaker 2 (02:51):

him in like three years, before years. That seems like yesterday.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
It does seem like yesterday.

Speaker 1 (03:00):

me for a long time.
