Must Read | The Who Slam Their Own 'Disappointing' Super Bowl Performance
The Who Slam Their Own 'Disappointing' Super Bowl Performance information from www.spinner.com
The Who's singer Roger Daltrey has hit back at the negative reviews of the rock band's halftime Super Bowl performance at the Sun Life Stadium in Miami earlier this week (Feb. 7).
Speaking to ESPN, Daltrey -- who along with Pete Townshend, are the only two remaining original members of the iconic band -- has spoken out about their five song appearance.
Daltrey berates the critics saying, "It didn't even feel like a concert. It's a television show. And what can you do in twelve minutes?"
He continued, admitting that the show could have gone better, "Cameras were everywhere, I was so blinded that I couldn't see. And I really wished the crowd would have gotten into singing the songs with us more. That's how it is in Europe for our soccer matches. I wanted more banter."
Townshend added, however, "We were trying to put on a good show, we had as fun as we could have. Miami is so different these days." He also said, jokingly, "Now Miami is fun and hip and I'm too old to enjoy it."
The Who performed 'Pinball Wizard,' 'Baba O' Riley,' 'Who Are You,' 'See Me' and 'Won't Get Fooled Again.'

Must Read | Did Facebook Force An Employee To Leave “The Bachelor”?
Did Facebook Force An Employee To Leave “The Bachelor”? information from www.allfacebook.com
If you’re a viewer of the relationship reality TV show The Bachelor, you probably already know that fan favorite, Ali Fedotwosky, left the show this Monday night, claiming that her employer wanted her back at work. Her employer isn’t just any old company, it’s Facebook, the company that just cracked 400 million users worldwide. But is there more going on than appears?
According to Silicon Alley Insider, Facebook issued Fedotwosky — a 25 year-old advertising accounts manager with the social networking giant — an ultimatum to choose between her job and the TV show. She supposedly chose her job (I guess those internal stock options are more valuable than being on the show?).
Wait, there’s more. Buzzing forums, Facebook fan pages, and entertainment magazine websites suggests that host Chris Harrison has been claiming it’s not over between Ali and the current season’s bachelor Jake Pavelka. Some viewers are speculating that Ali used the excuse of her employer, Facebook, threatening her job just to bluff Jake into picking her, and that it backfired.
Now according to another article on the Alley Insider site, Facebook says that they did not force Ali to quit. Other sources say Ali actually ran out of vacation time and had to make a decision to return or quit, with no current option for unpaid leave.
There’s further discussion below a photoshopped photo on Facebook itself that the show’s host might be right, that Ali, will return to this soap-opera like saga, but not to The Bachelor, rather as the next Bachelorette. Of course, the rumors that she has a brand new boyfriend in real-life might affect that possibility.
So maybe Facebook isn’t the monster some people were trying to suggest? Didn’t reality shows used to get taped weeks or months before they aired? I guess it’d be hard to capitalize on real-time social media feedback if that where the case. If you want to be part of that feedback, or tap the current discussion amongst Ali’s fans, check out her Facebook Fan page, which at this writing was nearing 8,000 members.
