Let's Make a Super Bowl Halftime Show (5 Viewers)

[Chadstroma]

I can't say that I have plans to watch this SB half time show.

Let's play fantasy half time show and make our own.

I give you two options:

A) Post your ideal show
or if you want to take a challenge on
B) Post what you think would be the nearest universally loved half time show

and go!

Up With People

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

I want Weird Al.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Hologram of the Prince half time show. And if the weather doesn't cooperate, artificial purple rain on the crowd.

 

[AAABatteries]

Hookers and Blow

 

[Mister CIA]

Wheeler Walker Jr.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Chris Stapleton would probably bridge the gap.

 

[Max Power]

I want Weird Al.

Two kids at my kid's high school did Amish Paradise for the talent show and it was a universal hit. Every demographic loved it.

 

[The Kerminator]

Not that I'm a fan but I think the most obvious universally accepted show would be Taylor Swift as far as drawing an international crowd and a different demographic.

apparently she was the pick this yer but contract negotiations broke down over ownership of the performance.

 

[glvsav37]

Pink...not that I like her or really know much about her music especially recently, but she has enough popular songs that people would recognize and the showmanship ability to pull off an event like that with interesting stage setup and isn't afraid to swing around on some serious high wire rigs which are perfect for those types of settings.

Plus lots of other artists to cameo with that make sense.

Are they available?

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Wheeler Walker Jr.

Drop ‘Em Out

And now I have Anal and The Dishes stuck in my head. Thanks for that

 

[whoknew]

My perfect show?

Gin Blossoms, Lyle Lovett, Oasis, and Robert Earl Keen.

Think they can figure a way to mix it up?

 

[ChiefD]

Lyle Lovett

The talent in his band is incredible. I've seen him a few times - amazing.

 

[SkoorcerasdoM]

Weird Al

 

[bigbottom]

I’d go with Post Malone plus guests. Only artist in history to have a Billboard #1 Hip Hop album, Rock album and Country album.

Guests he’s collaborated with include 21 Savage, Young Thug, Future, Doja Cat, Halsey, SZA, Morgan Wallen, Blake Shelton, Luke Combs, Chris Stapleton, Tim McGraw, Red Hot Chili Peppers and more.

 

[massraider]

Bad Bunny I think is on pace to be the top streamed act on Spotify this year. Aren't these the kind of artists that play the Super Bowl?

EDIT: Sorry, I hadn't seen the pushback to the announcement. Hadn't realized this was a thing. Never mind.

 

[Gally]

This is simple. A standard halftime and get the game back on.

 

[Gally]

If there has to be an extended halftime show then let's go with a Victoria Secrets Lingerie runway show

 

[Don Quixote]

Competing “In Living Color” reunion halftime show on Fox.

 

[DA RAIDERS]

Could not care less. My wife and daughter are stoked about bad bunny. This is why it’s a good choice.

And I love how this choice is making the white man clutch his pearls in angst. This also makes it a good choice.

The NFL knows what it’s doing with these “controversial” half time shows.

The Super Bowl i was at, had Shania Twain, sting and no doubt. Lame.

 

[Parrothead]

Barry Manilow - he's on a farwell tour anyway..

 

[glvsav37]

reprise "Winter Magic" with USA's heroes Brian Boitano and Dorothy Hamill!!

 

[Northern Voice]

Would Sabrina Carpenter be less controversial than Bad Bunny? She's pretty massive and might have more old white guy appeal being young, female, white and pretty. She'd be my answer.


The obvious old white guy band that hasn't done it is Foo Fighters. And Oasis but can't imagine they'd be bothered

 

[Northern Voice]

Dua Lipa would be good too.

 

[Northern Voice]

I’d go with Post Malone plus guests. Only artist in history to have a Billboard #1 Hip Hop album, Rock album and Country album.

Guests he’s collaborated with include 21 Savage, Young Thug, Future, Doja Cat, Halsey, SZA, Morgan Wallen, Blake Shelton, Luke Combs, Chris Stapleton, Tim McGraw, Red Hot Chili Peppers and more.

And he puts on a good show, I saw him headline at Bonnaroo, I'm not a huge fan or anything but he's an engaging guy.

 

[eoMMan]

Dua Lipa would be good too.

I agree but I think she'd anger the Pro-Israel people.

 

[nirad3]

My perfect show?

Gin Blossoms, Lyle Lovett, Oasis, and Robert Earl Keen.

Think they can figure a way to mix it up?

Two of my absolute favorites. Just saw Gin Blossoms about 2 months back.

 

[Gally]

The Super Bowl i was at, had Shania Twain, sting and no doubt. Lame.

I don't know. Shania Twain stinging people sounds interesting. Was she dressed like a bee?

 

[Desert_Power]

Bad Bunny I think is on pace to be the top streamed act on Spotify this year. Aren't these the kind of artists that play the Super Bowl?

EDIT: Sorry, I hadn't seen the pushback to the announcement. Hadn't realized this was a thing. Never mind.

Feel like he has led or been high on that list for a while.

 

[CGRdrJoe]

a black screen with ocean waves playing loudly so all you old people can take a nap during half time...

 

[Ron Swanson]

I kinda like the Weird Al idea. Would love Lyle Lovett or Robert Earl Keen but I think they lose out on broad appeal. Green Day?

 

[massraider]

Wait for the K-Pop band halftime show. It's coming.....

 

[Mister CIA]

I'm curious to know if this is a revenue stream for the NFL. Performing the Super Bowl halftime show is about as big as it gets in the realm of these mega performers and I could see them ponying up cash (and a lot of it) to be selected as the featured performer.

 

[Judge Smails]

Great idea. Huge crossover appeal

 

[Judge Smails]

With all the games in Europe - Oasis

 

[CletiusMaximus]

There should be an NCAA marching band contest every year with the winner getting the superbowl half time gig.

 

[gianmarco]

No Coldplay 10th anniversary with Kisscam edition?

 

[BlackCrowes]

This is simple. A standard halftime and get the game back on.

Yep. Get a local high school band to play.

Look at these two grumpsters

Maybe, depends who it is.

Taylor Swift certainly isn't paying to be there, they need her a lot more than she needs them.

Soda pop (or something)

Yeah, I don't think the NFL benefits one way or another from most performers, but this seems like a no-brainer choice.

He's as a big a Hispanic celeb as has maybe ever existed. We can assume spikes in viewership in South American, and elsewhere.

 

[Scoresman]

Why does it have to be music?

Get David Copperfield to come in and make the goalposts disappear or something. Or was he cancelled?

I think we've run out of musical artists that appeal to the NFL demographic. The usual rock bands are too old to trot out there at this point.

 

[Chris B.]

Whatever pisses off the old farts the most. Have a gay mariachi band play the Mexican national anthem on repeat for 15 minutes.

A BTS + BlackPink show would blow previous viewership numbers out of the water.

 

[Dan Lambskin]

At least it’s not some crap like Sleep Token
