erm wallis on youtube a couple of years back she was doing 2 mins accoriding to the videos. Didnt watch the videos so maybe that wasnt the start to the finish. I said her sound check went around 1.44 and the last time she sang it live was 1.46.
Report Lori • February 7, 2010 9:03 PM GMT
yeah she's about 1:40 1:41 on youtube i think, will double check now.
Report Lori • February 7, 2010 9:04 PM GMT
1:40.5 at the NFL
Report skyblues • February 7, 2010 9:04 PM GMT
Yeah the video started 30secs before she sang and ended 12 secs after so that 2min one was wrong so ill take the mistake i made their.

1m36 at the World series game 3 2007
Report Lori • February 7, 2010 9:05 PM GMT
The lines for 3 years now have been based on youtube. Overs still tends to turn out okay though.
Report wallis • February 7, 2010 9:07 PM GMT
2005 NBA finals - 1min 43
NFC champs 2006 - 1 min 40
2006 baseball all star game - 1min 38
2007 world series 1min 36

So , if anything we can conclude that the more she has done it , the quicker she has been.

I was digging around as there were rumours its been prerecorded but not found anything for certain.

Not once was it near 2 minutes !
Report skyblues • February 7, 2010 9:07 PM GMT
Yeah the previous ones arnt as inspiring, ah well lets just hope its not a bad start to the nite.
Report skyblues • February 7, 2010 9:09 PM GMT
Yeah wallis i was going on video length and not the actual video as i only watched the sound check and the nfl game video. Though the others would have started as she started singing. My mistake.
Report Lori • February 7, 2010 9:09 PM GMT
Last year i spent absolutely ages on this prop and concluded not to bet on it because they'd allowed for the overs in the lines and she still sailed over by miles.

While that doesn't mean this one will necessarily, I'd rather be on o1:40 than under it. bit more concerned now I'm on o1:42 and lowered stakes accordingly, but gun to head I'd say 1:45 or so, especially with that sound check time thing
Report wallis • February 7, 2010 9:10 PM GMT
No problem sky , just didnt want you piling in to the overs thinking she had done a 2 minuter !

Amazing that there's 30 seconds difference singing the same song one year apart.

Last year the line opened at 1m54 despite the fact she was clearly going 2:14+ (and she cleared that by miles)
Report cunnybobbler • February 7, 2010 9:14 PM GMT
would think more likely to stretch it out in the superbowl more than any other event. they like making it last as long as possible.
Report Lori • February 7, 2010 9:14 PM GMT
2:04+ ffs
Report wallis • February 7, 2010 9:15 PM GMT
Thats more your black soul diva though. String it out till we are all sick to death or their high pitch warbling. I dont think Carrie will be like that but the over under time is incredibly tight now. Was better at 1m 45 earlier in the week as I wanted unders.
Report wallis • February 7, 2010 9:17 PM GMT
Lori , I was on the anthem thread here last year and everyone piled into the overs. We had all the video footage at the ready and knew the time was way under what she would do. The bookies have done their homework this year properly for the first time I can remember.

Report wallis • February 7, 2010 9:34 PM GMT
spoilsports.

Found it Lori - he didnt thank anyone (7-1) ?

The speech only lasted for two questions , one was along the lines of "that was a real team effort and anyone of your team could have been MVP" - cue discussion of the team but no thank yous. Then a chat about Dungy.
Report wallis • February 7, 2010 9:36 PM GMT
sky , I like them because even if I get everything else wrong in the SuperBowl , I can still hang around for the speech to save me !!

Actually , its the one thing that bookies dont have the edge on and sometimes you can get a result.

Im going to back "doesnt thank anyone" at 7-1 and hope the MVP speech is short and sweet. A small cover on the 'teammates' at 5-2

I had 'anything other than God' but in his rambling Brees said 'God is great' Does that count as thanking???

Made a small amount but this would cap off a nice night if it's settled in my favour.
