I doubt it, but why compare?

I doubt also. A great as Prince is, Michael has always been more popular around the world

There are 2 many factors UNRELATED 2 the actual performance 2 compare. In 1990, people did NOT have the entertainment options that they do now, Tivo, Direct TV, the Internet, X-box, etc.....just way 2 many factors 2 compare.

That said, I KNOW u will try anyway.

You know he is going to bore us with Purple Rain, once again.

Can't forget the confetti dropping during LGC

I really hope that the preachy moments are kept to a minimum (my preference)

...and to answer an earlier poster, P "can't" (in relation to his ability to move) as fluidly as he once did, but that is just my opinion (I last saw him in 2000 or 01 April/Atlanta/Hit N Run Tour)

When I first saw this I thought Michael Jordan has retired and he played basketball But why wouldn't Prince top dude. He will drop the jaws of all those football fans in the halftime show with a combination of funk,rock and soul. I cannot wait til the game cause I will watch this one over and over.

OHHH I can't wait Prince is going kick some @zz.

their FEET like u did us. I will never forget.

LETs GO CRAZY GO GO GO !!! THEN GIVE THEM DAYS OF WILD
SAY ONE MO JAM ONE MO JAM 4 PRINCE AND THE BAND.

Bring the powder.



Nobody can b u but u

I don't think that Prince can match MJ's superbowl draw--I watched it in '93 with my folks as a kid--and I don't know. Michael was pulling all the stops. Fondling his balls--which I like--moonwalking, the whole deal. Alot of the stuff that makes Prince scandalous, he doesn't do anymore. And then the censors are still up in arms after Janet's "nipplegate scandal". I dunno, it's a shot in the dark. I know it'll be a good show, but MJ magnitude? (I don't think MJ can match MJ's magnatude. Though I'd be in the front row screaming like a bitch for either him or P.)

Bottom line, Prince will do good.
MJ good? I dunno.

Prince is about music, not low level tactics. Anyone can do what MJ did but no one can make music like Prince does. America will rock when they hear real music.

why is he wearing capri pants

asg said:

you know you wrong 4 that!!

hey if prince can wear 8 inch heels, of COURSE capri pants are fair game. i think he knows he can't rock his "butt out jeans" tho. lest the FCC lose their minds. they'll definitely INSPECT his 'drobe BEFORE the show.

Prince is da man, but he won't outdo Mike even with all the "differences" factoring in from the 90s on viewing habits etc. Dallas is an extremely popular theme, but what made MJ's performance so memorable to me is his ENTRANCE. that was captivating and unexpected, the melo drama of it all, removing his glasses... but THEN the audience participating with the signs in Heal the World, he MADE everyone pay attention because he INVOLVED them.

as much as i don't want him to, he'll open with LGC, it's his most popular "opening line" ever but from there i hope he surprises and funks us all up.

OMG if he opens with "dearly beloved"....Imma be doin backflips

I'm with whoever said that Prince should leave the "go go go, go go go" in the dressing room. It's downright embarrassing as a fan to see/hear him do that shit.

I just want a raw, guitar-heavy, in-your-face rocked out performance. No costume-clad troupe of dancers, no pyrotechnics. Just the man and his band up there on stage with the lights on, the guitar turned way up, and the twins' mics turned way down. Period.

Bring it:

My desired setlist:

Extra Lovable (wicked guitar, polished lyrics, available on iTunes after)
Lolita
Erotic City (clarify to the organizers that he's saying "funk"...ah-hem....)
Fury (akin to the SNL performance; tear that guitar up, boy)
Let's Go Crazy (again, stop with the "go, go, go"); a sing-a-long friendly must

If people want to hear Purple Rain, let 'em watch the movie.

He's a class in himself...his performance will be memorable that's for sure!!

He'll be boring you, everyone else will be happy, and once again, you're naysaying ass will be in the minority.

The Superbowl breaks down into 4 major categories of viewers.
True NFL fans
Casual sports Fans
People whom want 2 see the commercials
And people whom do ANTHING that everyone else does

When Prince completes his PERFORMANCE on Superbowl Sunday,
75% of the above mentioned group will spend more time talking about Prince than the GAME.

Take that 2 the BANK.

Prince has his own style unlike MJ,He's a soloist with his own music,MJ mostly have people write his,so weather he get the largest audience or not,also cosidering his 2010 second nomination into the music hall of Fame somthing not even MJ been elected for,that makes him king of music period.

Plato started our educational system based on evolution.Evolution is an attempt to explain Creation without a Great divine Creator.The Bible which our educational system has rejected,which is the foundation of all knowlegde has been ignored.Plato also taught the immotality of the soul.They say when you die you go to heaven or hell,that not true because in Icorinthians 15 if you read the chapter you will see that it is only by a Ressurection,we are brought back to be judged first and then Christ will give his Gift of Eternal life or death to those who done bad.The wages of sin is death,NOT BURNING IN HELL FIRE FOREVER Romans 6;23 in other words you dont burn forever you just burn up and cease to exist.Thats the plain TRUTH of your Bible.Love God

All he has to do is show up, no matter where, and he will outdo MJ. What do I have to do to get it through to you ppl? There has never been any contest between the two, and THERE NEVER WILL BE!!!!!

Think of prince as a Pristine Ferrari with 2,000 miles on it.
