Concert for Valor...just my $.02...

Watched this last night and overall it was pretty good IMHO...

Jennifer Hudson's National Anthem brought me to tears, slow start and finished strong. Girls got pipes. Not since Whitney Houston's performance at the 2002 Superbowl, after 911, have I seen a better performance of our National Anthem...

Jamie Fox was trying to hard and missed the mark...

Springsteen, Grohl and Zac Brown version of Fortunate Son was at the edge of all their vocal ranges, but decent...

Springsteen's 12 string acoustic Born in the USA was not my favorite version...He has preformed it that in the past...better version on the concert DVD Live from New Your City...2000, I believe...

The Black Keys are a band I am just not familiar with, but liked the drummer and his transistor/Dick Dale guitar sound, kind of refreshing...

Jessie J. was another artist I was not familiar with...also decent...

Metallica's for Who the Bell Tolls...way too long...lots of mike problems throughout their performance...nothing stellar here...

NOW...this is what really bothered me...F'bombs from George Lopez, Metallica and Eminem...totally uncalled for...call me old school and I know it was on HBO...but really, this was not the place...all I could imagine was little kids watching this with their parents...not cool...
(It also bugs the hell out of me, that every grade school kid KNOWS what to do with an erection that lasts more than 4 hours)

For me the best part of this were the Veteran stories...truly inspirational and me proud to be an American...

Thanks
Mark

Ps. Is Spielberg's hair going the way of the Donald???
