Let's Make a Super Bowl Halftime Show (1 Viewer)

[Dan Lambskin]

I think we've run out of musical artists that appeal to the NFL demographic.

I think the NFL doesn't want to appeal to the NFL demographic with the halftime show. They want to appeal to the exact opposite because otherwise that group won't be tuning into the game. They hope to get them to tune it when they otherwise wouldn't.

Yeah I get the thought process but are there really like groups of girls watching golden bachelor reruns that all of a sudden tune into the halftime show for 20 minutes?

Not necessarily but there are girlfriends at Super Bowl Parties that will get excited about the half time show which helps allow the boyfriends not to get crap for spending six hours watching a football game. Couple that with commercials throughout that the non-football fans are waiting for you can get people tuning in. Or at least that is the theory.

I want the game so I have no idea of that theory works on non-game watchers.

I dont know what's true vs. fake on social media these days, but I saw a reel the other day on how In Living Color is what was behind the huge halftime shows we have today. In the early 90s they did a show during one of the halftime shows and it even had a countdown to let viewers know when to change the channel back. It got massive viewership, and the next year, the NFL got Michael Jackson for the first really big halftime show.

 

[Kanil]

I want Weird Al.

I came in to post something else but then saw this and changed my mind. Please, take my money.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

EvilGrin would like to hear AC/DC play For Those About to Rock.



Somebody will get that.

 

[kupcho1]

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

I see what you did there.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Godspeed You! Black Emperor

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

And I love how this choice is making the white man clutch his pearls in angst.

I mean, I just don't like alot of rap/hip hop. At the same time, if the entertainment was country or rock n roll the otherside that doesn't like country/rock n roll wouldn't be jazzed about it either. We all have different tastes and there's not anything wrong with that.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Seems like Statler and Waldorf would be popular.

 

[Snoopy]

Dolly Parton

POST MALONE!!! Hip hop and country, with rock thrown in!

Comic Book Guy could be the special guest.

Worst. Halftime show. Ever

Definitely no segments of the population that would see the face tattoos and immediately dismiss him.

 

[ProstheticRGK]

Milli. Or Vanilli.

But not both.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

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

So the USC Trojan band? I'm in.

 

[Nugget]

Seems like the NFL is looking for global appeal and younger demographics. Billie Eilish, SZA, Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, Shaboozy. Pick 2 to 3 and profit.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

Worst. Halftime show. Ever

And now we're back to Up With People.

How about Ningen Isu?

Heartless Scat

Most of the pearl clutching isn’t about the genre. It’s a factor, but not the main one causing the vapors.

 

[Northern Voice]

Daft Punk.

I'm 100% serious.

 

[Hastur]

Joan Jett on guitar, Sting on bass, David Grohl on drums, and Paul McCartney vocals.

 

[heckmanm]

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.

Saw a report that the NFL wanted her to perform for the “exposure”

Shaboozie.....country with a "twist"

 

[Eephus]

Joan Jett on guitar, Sting on bass, David Grohl on drums, and Paul McCartney vocals.

Their average age is 70

I'm ok with this.

 

[dickey moe]

Fugazi for the ultimate corporate head-fake.

 

[Scoresman]

Godspeed You! Black Emperor

This would be amazing!

"Why is the halftime show an hour long so far?"

" I don't know but their only on their second song."

 

[Scoresman]

I don't know what the NFL was thinking letting the Taylor Swift deal fall through. She is the most famous person on the planet. You would have people in every continent tuning in. Records would be smashed. Just give her what she wants.

oh. I don't know what it is then but just FMPOV I haven't enjoyed the halftime show in a long time and I think that a lot of people haven't since not everyone enjoys rap/hip hop.

I googled it. Supposedly, she declined because the nfl wouldn't let her own the rights to her performance. You may have got more people turning in to the halftime show but I don't think any of those people are going to sit there and watch a football game just because she's going to perform for 15 minutes. It's not (or highly unlikely) going to create new fans and I'm too sure if it would raise advertising by that much, if at all. I get it from her POV but it's also a little odd from the NFLs POV to not own part of your broadcast.

 

[Yo Mama]

Headliner: Rage Against the Machine

Guest appearances:
- B-Real and Chuck D to do a Prophets of Rage song
- Killer Mike and El-P to do a RTJ song with Zach
- Chris Cornell hologram to do an Audioslave song

Now that’s how you make some heads explode.

 

[Capella]

I know most here don’t want to hear this but bad bunny is going to put on an amazing show with tons of energy. I don’t really listen to his music but I know when somebody has teh juice and that guy has all of it.

Huh? It’s been pretty well shown that she’s created an entire new wave of NFL fans just showing up to Chiefs games and dating Kelce. Her doing the halftime show would be the biggest one since Michael. Neither party needs each other though as they’re two of the biggest brands in the world.

I guess maybe I don't get fandom then. I guess a "swiftie" could buy a chiefs ticket or a jersey or watch the game just to get a glance of TS and that's ultimately what matters right? Whether or not they are actually fans of football and will continue to watch football when the nfl finally lets Kelce retire in 15 years is debatable to me. It's entirely possible that new watchers could go "oh hey, I like this game!" or it's more of a copycat thing "oh TS likes football (I assume she does) so now I like football."

 

[skol asylum]

Royal Blood, The Blue Stones, Jack White, and The Black Keys.

 

[skol asylum]

Milli. Or Vanilli.

But not both.

Isn't one dead?

 

[FarFromHome]

I've actually never even heard of Bad Kitty. Happy Kitty? Hello Kitty? Whatever. Maybe they just decide on 5 options. Then America votes on it. If not, maybe the Riverdance cast performs?

 

[Bossman]

Nate Bargatze

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Royal Blood, The Blue Stones, Jack White, and The Black Keys.

Or for the older demographic, Strawberry Alarm Clock, The Raspberries, and Fiona Apple.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Milli. Or Vanilli.

Probably why he said not both.

 

[Skipdog77]

If they can't get Night Ranger, might as well go with Bad Bunny. I'm cool with it.

 

[playin4beer]

Obviously the worst team in the NFL won't be playing in the Super Bowl. Let's get that team vs the #1 ranked College Team to play during halftime.

Like when the pee-wees play during halftime of a varsity game.

 

[ProstheticRGK]

Milli. Or Vanilli.

Isn't one dead?

Maybe not that one?



I think I remember that one of them had substance issues and died young.

 

[In The Zone]

Hootie

 

[Parrothead]

Savannah Bananas

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

Hootie

without the blowfish?

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Kid Rock would be good

 

[Keith R]

I'm more than pleased with the Bad Bunny selection. Bonus points if Karol G., Becky G. or Natti Natasha make appearances. Latin hip-hop is at a high point right now

Once again. I honestly never heard of the guy until this was announced. I actually listened to a few of his songs recently. The few i heard actually sounded kinda catchy if I still drank and danced. Ha ha. Would I play a Bad Bunny playlist while I mow my yard? Probably never. What i found kinda odd about the selection is he has never even toured or performed on American soil. Is that accurate? This is our countries biggest sporting event. In the end, I guess I don't really care to much, just felt odd. Maybe I'm the problem and i guess i should buy a Hello Kitty, er, Bad Bunny T-shirt. Ha ha
