It would be great if the halftime show was about FOOTBALL.

You mean, like make it about the cheeleaders and such?

to her credit,Madonna at least had a cheerleading segment in her SB appearance

Why are Coldplay planning to bring Beyonce out as their special guest?? She already did the halftime show a few years ago!! Must this woman be a part of every big performance?! Give someone else a chance....sheesh!!

I blame Cold play for that. There dumb as hell. Why allow another singer who did half time 3 years ago to take up YOUR MOMENT? Its the same silly thing Justin Timberlake did when he made his comeback. He did a joint concert with Jay Z.Lady Gaga did a similiar thing with Beyonce. Why do these artists allow the Carters to piggy back off their success? Are they that intimidated? It wouldn't be me, I tell you that! I be damn if I share MY once in a lifetime Super Bowl MOMENT with a singer who is overexposed 24/7 and who performed there 3 years ago

where is Taylor Swift? Why wasn't she asked?

This may be the first year that I turn off the damn TV during halftime.

Do ya'll really think the industry feels Beyonce is better than Michael Jackson, Prince, Stevie Wonder, Beatles, etc? I don't recall any of them getting this type of ass kissing treatment. I don't even think Elvis got this type of treatment! Beyonce is running the music industry, she can do whatever she wants! I want to know why though? It can't possibly be because they think she is better than Mozart Is it because of her money? Last time I checked Madonna was the richest living singer. She doesn't sell a lot of records like Adele or Taylor Swift:-P Her last number one hit was 8 years ago. So what other possibilites could it be? I want to know the science behind this conspiracy.

I don't think Katy's performance was terrible at all

Coldplay is better than U2. Crotch rot is better than Yonce.

She's not Halftime Show material but then again neither is Coldplay.

You mean like Chubby Checker, Carol Channing, Mickey Rooney, Up With People, and this

I wish they would do a battle of the bands type format like Duran Duran vs Guns N Roses or Metallica, Foreigner or something. Are all of those guys still performing?

I dunno....that seems more Super Bowl-ish.

[Edited 1/9/16 15:41pm]

Santana!

ZZ Top!

Earth Wind And Fire!

That was a different point in time for the Halftime Show. It wouldn't be for another 8 years when MJ performed where he set the standard for superstar performances that is still in place today.

Looks like more work was put into the 1985 show to me than the one Mike did and the ones after him. A more famous person does not make it better than a less known one

I like that idea I wish they would ask more od school bands to perform....Hall and Oates would be a perfect choice.Imagine them doing an 80s-themed halftime show.

I'm glad she wasn't asked. She's not Halftime Show material

I'm not a huge fan of hers,but I'm curious to know why you don't think she is "Halftime show material" To me,she seems exactly the type of performer that they would ask to perform.I could imagine her performing and bringing out a surprise guest....Kanye West! LOL

They have lots of choices but they aren't giving it enough thought.

I've seen Beyonce perform more times than I care to remember.......she's played out, enough with her already!

MotownSubdivision said:

When did I say MJ's performance was better? I was referring to the fact that before 1993, the Halftime Show was performed by lesser known/ less popular acts.

You said the modern superstar performances has a standard that started with Mike, which implies the earlier ones didn't. Like they were just thrown together with not much thought to it. But to the average football fan, the acts today are no more relevant to them than Carol Channing was in the past and she performed on several halftime shows and so did Up With People. I've been around NFL fans and they generally did not care about the halftime show, only the game.

The media/industry is always talking about how this generation doesn't have alot of talent BUT there are other talents out there if they were given these same opportunies to show their talents. I am not sure why the industry ONLY wants a few acts to get these opportunities when there are far more talented singers and performers out here, just give them a chance!

Jaziman Sullivan KILLED it at this years Soul Train awards. I thought it was better than anything I have ever seen Beyonce do! Man, just imagine if she had performed at the Grammys or at the Stevie Wonder tribute. Gurl can SANG and is a good performer. Its really sad she will never get the same opportunities to show her talent
