I wonder if they'll ever go with a pop star again? Prince might be the closest they ever come to that again. I wouldn't doubt a Beyoncé half time show.

This sounds crazy.

But money would be on Garth Brooks.

I say this because I can't think of many transcendent draws of the current generation outside of rappers (who are mostly uninteresting live), rap-and-bubblegum singers, and various flavor-of-the-month bands and pop acts.

He's sold tons of records and he will play anything, anywhere (including at Obama's inaugural jam).

how 'bout Sly and The Family Stone? If Sly was up to performance shape, imagine the whole world rocked 1nce again 2 I Wanna Take You Higher or Dance To The Music....

Carlos Santana would be a great choice. He'd rip that place up good.

guns and roses

There will be no more rap artists performing for Super Bowl halftime, that you can bank on.

anyone who's mother and brother and niece will be killed.

How about Metallica? Would they be too heavy for the wide audience? I think they are amazing live performers.

It's only a matter of time, baby!

Prince was somewhat of a mainstream pariah and the poster boy for immoral music 20+ years ago. 20+ years later, he gave what even casual fans acknowledge is one of the great performances in the game's history.

I don't care for Metallica. I've heard for a long time that Hatfield is a bigot, so I've avoided them. But there's no doubt that Metallica is legendary and could put on a very good show.

Yeah there will be. Unfortunately, they will put them on the same stage and have them perform with an old R&B group like maybe Parliament or somebody so they can just totally ruin the old group's performance by trying to "please two generations at once". That's how music eventually became as horrible and watered down as it is today because of artists trying to please all these different groups at once. Don't make me bring up a certain little miss goodie two shoes.

Hey, why not RuPaul? You got a field full of men playing with plastic balls. Well, I can't think of anyone better to show them how it should be done because RuPaul don't waste his time on plastic balls, he likes the real ones. He could teach those men a thing or two.

Not that I'd like to see these acts but I bet calls are made to:

Sting
Bon Jovi
Beyonce
Foo Fighters
Lenny Kravitz
Carrie Underwood

RuPaul is exactly the kind of "huh??" pumped-up techno music you see on those Jock Jams compilations.

He sure is. Those jocks ain't nothing but butch queens, that's all.

vainandy said:

That's what I'm talking about! I wanna see her strut up on stage, wave to that crowd of jocks and beer guts, and I wanna hear her scream HEYYYY BITCHES!!!!

Did someone say P-Funk? It would be the funkiest halftime show ever! Get Bootsy up there too,jammin with George Clinton.

Anxiety said:

she can introduce Elton John and Billy Joel

Madonna

vainandy said:

They would be my obvious choice but you and i know they are way
too funky and wild for a super bowl crowd. Larry D might start having
flashbacks and come out with a jock strap on and a snake draped around
his neck.

Janet

They're also too black for the Super Bowl. A shit hopper is more suitable for the event.

Oh, know I understand: Even non-Americans are allowed to play. So I'd choose Madonna because she would do a great show. But I'm sure most of the Superbowl audience dislikes Madonna, haha.

My secret wish would be George Michaelm because I would like to see him more.

Bootsy Collins.....

Get Prince to do it again.

bring back prince featuring mary j blige,beyonce,rihanna,neyo,chris brown
