I like Usher so I was hoping it wasn't going to be that bad but like @Mrs. Lemon-Lime: said 4 songs back to back was a bit much. Is he releasing an album soon or something? </p> <p>@katsupgirl: It did feel like it was 'The Usher show', not July 4th celebration. I actually flipped to my local channel during his 3rd song. </p> <p>The fireworks were pretty to watch, though. It was much better than my local fireworks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/macys-fireworksa-little-annoyed#post-907869 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 11:23:35 +0000 katsupgirl 907869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I guess I wouldn't have minded the lack of patriotic songs if it wasn't so obviously the Usher show. Placing one at the beginning, one in the middle and One at the end would've made it less annoying and less egotistical. I'm going to play my America mix all day today to make up for it. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/macys-fireworksa-little-annoyed#post-907297 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 07:09:21 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 907297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Jimi Hendrix's rendition of our national anthem played first. Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert's rendition of a America the Besutuful played. There was a chorus God Bless America. The patriotic sounds were in the set. </p> <p>I agree four complete Usher in a row songs were a bit much. I was expecting Mr. 305 Pitbull since the beginning started off as top 40 dance music. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/macys-fireworksa-little-annoyed#post-907210 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 03:45:45 +0000 spaniellove 907210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wasn't paying enough attention to catch the 4 Usher songs but I remember commenting to DH that the music wasn't choreographed to the fireworks as well as it usually is, plus it was so overly geared toward young people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/macys-fireworksa-little-annoyed#post-907106 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 22:09:43 +0000 katsupgirl 907106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He definitely could've picked better songs from his catalog. I thought it was pretty ridiculous that he was tasked with creating a playlist and chose to include 4 of his own songs. These weren't even patriotic songs. It was more of a club mix </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/macys-fireworksa-little-annoyed#post-907093 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 21:56:05 +0000 plantains 907093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought there were a bunch of traditional songs. I don't know, it was a good mix for me. I think he could have chosen four better songs from his catalog though, those four were not my faves. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/macys-fireworksa-little-annoyed#post-907088 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 21:52:44 +0000 BSB 907088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A FB friend was also annoyed by the Usher songs and lack of traditional songs. I didn't see it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/macys-fireworksa-little-annoyed#post-907084 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 21:45:57 +0000 anewme 907084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usher curated the playlist for the fireworks this year. That's probably his stamp on this years fireworks display. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/macys-fireworksa-little-annoyed#post-907070 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 21:27:17 +0000 katsupgirl 907070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you watch the Usher fireworks show? I'm a little annoyed. Where were the American anthems? Why 4 usher songs in a row? And since when does Jay-z trump Frank Sinatra?!? Also, where was my Bon Jovi or duh Katy Perry? Am I the only one? So offended and annoyed! </p>
