Fair point. He's been there before.

You're right; not many big names left. Has Taylor Swift done one?

She hasn't and quite frankly, she would be a much worse performer than Timberlake. Taylor Swift is nothing worth watching live from what I've seen. Would've been cool if Metallica performed alongside Gaga earlier this year.


I don't disagree about TS but she's a tentpole act for the industry.

She doesn't seem to have much interest in it.

Metallica would have shaken things up a bit.

^^I think the NFL is not going to have that much of problem with Justin in the general public, not like with people and the president complaining about players protesting the anthem & flag. Trump talking about he would fire the protestors and calling them a name. I think patriotism fans are probably a bigger thing than Janet fans and might have a bigger influence on the NFL overall.

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

I hope he does his new cover of A Change Is Gonna Come, then maybe SexyBack and like an Nysnc reunion. You know, a great inconsistent American shitshow. He needs male rappers and Joey Fatone and like no women on stage OR maybe Janet in one of those full body suits she is all about these days via satellite.

His music is just aight but JT is one smart motherfucker. He knows how to play it perfectly so that he has respect from both the R&B/rap audience and middle-of-the-road general public that watch his movies

RnB audiences do not respect this bum. He was also in a serious of bomb films because he cannot act.

THe NFL is trying to appeal to as much of the American public as possible, not just fans of one particular genre of music.

What a bunch of losers. As if any NFL fan really wants to see that wanker. And that aside, why is he allowed back, when Janet supposedly is still a persona non grata? The only way this could be right is, if she gets a guest spot.

Because he played the corporate game, the victim role and agreed to apologize on national television during the Grammys. After Janet did her personal youtube apology for all offended, she refused to apologize again as Justin did. She was uninvited that year and apparently ever since....

America is harsher on women and America unfairly harsh on ethnic people...Does he make an argument for white privilege here at the end?

It's hilarious to me that this guy once worshipped the woman publically but after this...she's "ethnic people." GTFOOHWTBS lol lol lol

Justin Timberlake Super Bowl Halftime news sparks #JusticeForJanet outrage: 'White male privilege, ladies'

-

Justin Timberlake will headline the 2018 Super B...ftime show in February — but many Twitter users aren’t willing to look past his performance alongside Janet Jackson at the 2004 Super Bowl.

-

Using #JusticeForJanet, people are calling out the NFL for selecting Timberlake given his involvement in Jackson’s infamous “wardrobe malfunction” during the Halftime show 14 years ago. Near the end of the number, Timberlake ripped off a piece of headliner Jackson’s top, revealing Jackson’s right pierced nipple as about 90 million viewers watched live. As a result of the scandal, a.k.a. “Nipplegate,” CBS was fined $550,000 by the Federal Communications Commission and a five-second delay was instituted for halftime shows. Jackson arguably faced the brunt of the blame, as the years following the incident saw a downtick in her career as Timberlake flourished.

-

A rep for Jackson previously claimed that only part of Jackson’s ensemble was supposed to be removed, saying the malfunction “was not intentional,” and both Jackson and Timberlake have apologized for what happened. Still, fans are demanding an apology from Timberlake and the opportunity for Jackson to return to the Halftime stage.

-

-

I guess the folks demanding Justin have Janet on stage doesn't realize it's not up to him.

Though seeing Janet back on the Superbowl stage might be good for us, she does have a successful tour and well recieved new album out.

Plus a new baby and she looks like a million bucks.

I think she's good.

Justin Timberlake’s Super Bowl
October 24, 2017 at 12:27 AM by Lainey

It’s official. Justin Timberlake will headline the halftime show at Super Bowl LII in Minneapolis. I’ve written about this already – twice. I wrote about it when the rumours first started back in August and again a month later when it was reported that JT was in final negotiations. So I don’t want to repeat what I said. Because…again… I told you. I told you back in February, after the last Super Bowl, when he appeared in a Super Bowl ad for some energy drink he was promoting. This is what I told you:


JT wasn’t at the Super Bowl. But this ad gave him a presence at the Super Bowl. And anytime he’s comes anywhere near the Super Bowl… well… if you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you know what I’m thinking.

#NeverForget

So he gets to make money from the Super Bowl and …what about Janet? Is anyone asking Janet Jackson to front a Super Bowl commercial? Has anybody asked Janet to front anything since he exposed her nipple over a decade ago? That would be no, because she’s permanently banned from the Super Bowl. Meanwhile, he gets to make Super Bowl ads and it’s only a matter of time. A matter of time before he gets invited to be the halftime performer.

This, then, should not be a surprise. How is it a surprise? White men who step on women succeed all the time. White men who step on black woman succeed even more. It’s gross. But what’s grosser is that it’s actually not that gross for a lot of people. Probably for a majority of people. Those are the people who are excited about this announcement. They’re the people who keep telling the rest of us to “get over it”, it happened a long time ago, and that we all need to move on. Because “moving on” is its own privilege. Two people were up there on that stage on February 1, 2004. One of them, at the time, was the bigger star. In 2004, Janet Jackson was the legend, one of the most successful women in music. She and her brother, Michael, endorsed Justin Timberlake. THEY HELPED HIM WITH HIS CAREER. How did he repay her? By running for cover, the weasel punk f-ck that he is, and leaving her for dead. Two people were up on that stage that night. One was blacklisted and banned. The other was invited to every party and would go on to become one of the most successful solo artists of the decade. Not everyone, then, is allowed to “move on”. The same people, over and over again, get to “move on”. Others have to keep eating sh-t until someone else decides that they’re ready to be let out of the doghouse.

Is it possible that JT will invite Janet to join him at the Super Bowl, to right the wrong, to formally apologise for what happened? This is what’s been suggested. He would need, though, to clear it through the NFL and Pepsi first. Which would mean that Janet would need PERMISSION from the NFL, the people who blacklisted and banned her in the first place. Just the thought of this makes me sick – imagining Janet having to SEEK PERMISSION, like approval, like a “pass” from those people to be allowed to come back.


Do we really want that for her? Do we want to put her return to the Super Bowl in the hands of a group of white owners sitting at a boardroom, deliberating over whether or not to grant entrance to Janet Jackson? I want you to picture that. I want you to picture those men, smoking their cigars, inflated by their self-importance, gathered together judging Janet’s suitability for the Super Bowl in between deciding what to have for lunch and where to take their mistresses for dinner. Like THEY get to decide whether or not she would be welcome? As an act of magnanimity?

F-ck that. F-CK THAT SO HARD.

And also? If not them, who else do you think will get all the credit, and I mean ALL THE CREDIT, if Janet actually shows up to perform with him? When has Justin Timberlake ever walked away from taking all the credit, and turning any situation into a showcase for himself?

Finally, there’s another factor to consider: the NFL’s ratings have been on the decline. And players continue to kneel during the national anthem. These have been the major headlines surrounding the league for months as deep divisions between owners and players and players and fans continue to dominate the discussion. THAT’s the Super Bowl Justin Timberlake is stepping into. That might be the only positive takeaway from this story?

A lot of the general public turned on Janet. That has nothing to do with the NFL or CBS getting sued or Janet & Justin giving an apology. They didn't turn on Justin, a lot people still bought his records after the Superbowl. He still got on TV and got movie roles and recieved radio airplay. The NFL has no influence on Janet and Justin getting on the radio or the public supporting them. It's like many football fans don't seem to care about what the players do, in which some have done all kinds of things like beating spouses/girlfriends. Except maybe Michael Vick's dogfighting, and he was later forgiven and allowed to play again after he got out of jail. Men are more likely to be forgiven. People know about Trump, but they voted for him anyway. People complain about women breastfeeding in public and shame them. It was the Dixie Chicks who was banned on country radio stations and some country fans turned on them too for talking about Dubya. So it's more society than the NFL.

I so agree. I just think they should allow her to get back on that stage and then she should tell them to go fuck themselves.

So what? She's still selling out arenas. Despite postponing her tour twice. Her last album was a #1 album and she's still Janet Jackson.

Janet's fans going to see her concerts has nothing to do with with Justin being invited to perform at the Superbowl and Janet's lack of Top 40 radio airplay afterwards. Or Justin's popularity today with the mainstream and his ability to get a lot of promotion. Which is what you asked about. That's why I mentioned the Dixie Chicks were also banned from radio stations at the time of their controversy. But they're still popular on the concert circuit too. It's like during the Hollywood Studio days when actors & directors were blacklisted for accusations of being communists.

Justin was recruited to sing on this and it was years after the the wardrobe malfunction.

Justin also performed at the 2013 BET Awards. So it's not just the white audience.
