I recall specifically last year’s show, but I think it’s pretty standard of the last few years, of filling out the entire field with some sort of to-do … dancers, sign spinners, ventriloquists, what the fuck ever. That’s what irritates me the most. That grand spectacle of hundreds of people doing the same thing with big smiles plastered on their faces. May as well be Up With People.
But, seriously, I’d rather get a show like Prince’s where it was basically no different from a concert but with a few Big Stadium Effects thrown in. If Bad Bunny came out on a stage with a band and just sang and played to the audience (fine, even if the fill the field to do it) I’d be more interested. But I have the feeling there will be at least one Oooooh moment that may just as well be in a Cirque de Soleil show.
Maybe I’m wrong.
