AWWWW SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!! Now i have a reason to watch smile although he would probably only do Are You Gonna Go My Way or American Woman. Highly doubt he would play Again or it ain't over till it's over.

I think there's many possibilities as to how Lenny will fit into the show. Perhaps Katy will replicate Fergie's singing of Sweet Child O' Mine with Slash by singing one of Lenny's songs with him on guitar and doing backing vocals? Or maybe Lenny will do one of Katy's duet songs with her? But yeah, if I had to bet on one Lenny song being done it'd be American Woman and Katy could definitely share vocals on that one.

Well now that Lenny is playing it will be worth it. Not thrilled Katy Perry will be there.

The best part about this will be exposure. A lot of kids will be exposed to Lenny's music for the first time. Or someone might remember ''oh yeah! i forgot about this song'' that usually happens with these halftime shows. A renewed interest comes for the artist. I think the younger crowd knows Lenny more for his actiing (precious, hunger games) then his music.

I can't wait for the barage of "Who is this Lenny Kramitz guy singing with Katy Perry?" tweets.

I had planned on skipping the halftime show but will tune in now to see Lenny Kravitz. Is it me or do you all find it strange that a veteran act like Lenny Kravitz is playing a backup role for a chick who has been in the music business a solid five years or so? Something seems wrong with that scenario.

Uh, not so strange. The same thing happened last year too remember? lol And people were saying the same thing...but then he showed everybody that he was worthty of headlining the show. Now will Katy be able to to the same thing and wow everybody like the Brunz did last year? I dont think so, but hey she's getting her chance to shine. I'm just happy to hear that Lenny will be sharing the stage. I remember wanting him to share the stage with Bruno last year--now that would have been a great show!

I think pretty much everybody, including the younger generation, is familiar with Lenny. He is very mainstream, been involved with a lot of movies and been nominated for many awards because of it, has collaborated with many big name musicians of all different genres, has performed just about everywhere from Country Music Association awards shows and festivals to the Daytona 500 to his music being used in NBA promos. He's like the wind, he's everywhere ... the Dick Clark of today's music industry. lol

Lenny Kravitz tour 2015, tre concerti in Italia a luglio he will most likely upstage her, but hey he is so fine imo that katy perry will just be a filler imo.

Most MIGHT know a few of the hits, barely, but if you are talking 15 year olds. One I think the majority DONT know Lenny's Music at least nothing from the last decade, and TWO demographically the SuperBowl is NOT a teenagers game, its guys 25-40 mostly and women too, times have changed.

You got to hand it to him: this brother works hard to be heard....

....even though he is hardly relevant these days. It just lets you know that the folks who put
the Super Bowl music acts together needs to get its act together.

Hahaha right..? Shocker that an out of touch mega-organization would pair Titty Perry with classic rocker Kravitz. Maybe he'll teach her how to sing.

You gotta understand that there are "special" groups of everybody here on le org, example: rolleyes

With Mars last year and Perry this year, we're running out of flashes in the pan. Gaga hasn't done one yet lol... let's pair her up with Steely Dan. Miley Cyrus featuring Queen. Kanye West featuring Paul McCartney... oh wait...

It's all about mass appeal, artists who have the largest and most diverse fanbase. Everybody is familar with Lenny's music, it's hard to avoid when you hear it all the time in tv commercials and on public PA systems as part of that piped in Muzak.

And what musical artist from the 80's is still relevant? Nobody that I know.

My guess would be American Woman, Are You Gonna Go My Way, or Fly Away. Doesn't the more "seasoned" artist always have to play a medley of hits? yawn

Too bad, as I think Strut is pretty catchy, would fit the Superbowl nicely, and would be good promotion for his last album

If you will, so will I
