In the end I do agree with you, and maybe I am exaggerating a bit te impact of the number of songwriters.

Again, that's just ignorance on their behalf. The usage of samples doesn't take away from the artistry, it merely contributes to it.

Super Bowl halftime show acts are reveled in September and October each year, so we'll find out soon enough if Adele will do it. I sure hope so!  According to HitsDailyDouble, Adele will have to choose between Grammy and Bowl performance because the former airs on CBS and the latter on FOX.

Wait, the Grammys and the Super Bowl are on the same night?
And the more I think of it, the less I want her to do it. At first I was really into the idea, but now I think it's better to wait for a better time.
If she does do it, I'll still be here for it of course.
Edit: wait, no they're not, why would she have to choose between the two then?

If they do really demand one network or the other, I feel she'd go CBS and Grammys. She has no history with Fox, will want a big performance of likely Hello after the issues last year/to compliment noms, and if an NBC deal is still in play (though I'm not sure if it is, last thing they did was the extended RCMH in early May), HDD mentioned a provision that specifically allowed the Grammys performance on CBS previously.
Rihanna at Super Bowl makes more sense to me here honestly. I don't see 2017 being Adele's only opportunity.

Also what time do you guys recommend to get there in time?

Someone PLEASE answer my question 
My shows tomorrow and I'm freaking out

So friends had pre sale and the girl I bought the ticket for the first night had general. We all waited in lines the only difference was whether you had floor tickets or in the bowl you got to wait in different entrances but there were no just pre sale lines.

About when to go in Paris we went early but we started queuing when the doors opened cause it wasn't standing si what's the point later realised I should have gotten in line early cause the litho was sold out by the time I got in.
Also looks like they go crazy for the merch in the US & the lithos sell out quickly. The rest of the merch is available at the staples store so you'll be able to buy stuff anytime I guess so yeah..

Bey Admired, to clarify, I wasn't trashing Beyoncé. I stan for her, and I loved Lemonade. I was simply stating the fact that I cannot comprehend the idea of having so many different songwriters on one song and actually making it work. Clearly, it does for her, but I don't understand why they would feel the need for so many songwriters, nor do I understand how on Earth the end product ends up so good with so many writers (sometimes too many people is not a good thing). Regardless, I've got nothing against Lemonade and I'm not saying that it shouldn't be nominated because of the amount of producers and co-writers on the album. But I do think the Grammys take that into account (it's not the only thing, but they do consider it).
Also... If Adele has to pick between the Super Bowl and the Grammys, she should do the Grammys, and I think she will. It makes more sense, and like Daydreams said, this is probably not her only opportunity. However, I'd rather not have Rihanna do it. I really want to see P!nk do it; I think she'd be perfect for it!

Question! Some of the Daydreamers have managed to get videos where they can hear the soundcheck happening. How early would you have to be there in order to hear the soundcheck?
Also, does anyone have any suggestions for how to take good pictures with your iPhone for the concert? I'm having my parents and sister take videos so I can enjoy the concert, but if I want the pictures to turn out even remotely good, I'm going to have to take them (unless my sister takes them, but she's going to want to film). I'm in the upper bowl, so I don't know how to get decent pictures of her... Anyone have any tips?

We heard the soundcheck like 2-3 hours before the show
About the pictures stay hands, nice angles and a good camera tbh even if you're in the bowl the projection of her face on the screengrabs id big so youd be able to take some good pics i hope if you got a good camera with hd zoom even better

Not sure about the sound check but for pictures the iPhone doesn't have many settings for things such as exposure etc. so you may want to try a third party app such as Camera+, Photo Camera or Procamera7 (I haven't tried any of them personally but here they provide more options). If you don't want a third party app than make sure to hold the camera as steady as possible, use bursts, make sure HDR is on, and click on the screen in order to choose where you want the focal point of the picture (by default it puts the focal point in the center but sometimes you can get better pictures if you move it around in a dim environment. It should show like a yellow box I think). Sorry, if this doesn't help at all but that's all I got.

Oh okay, my friend got us tickets in two different sections, two seats on each section, both in the bowl I think. So I sounds like I'll be fine. Thanks

Super Bowl >>>> Much more exposure and would have a much bigger effect than the Grammys.
