Since Janet Jackson's nipple ruined everything, the halftime performances have become stale. I'm still amazed what I consider the best one happened after that.
I dare you to come up with a better one than Prince's 2007 show. Dude rocked it in a rain storm. Game blouses!

We can't get just one song to play to a highlight of great plays of the year or something? Instead we have Katy Perry trying to figure out how to subtly diss Taylor Swift?
I also liked when they had more collaborations with artists but I haven't been that down on them. Prince was great. Bruno Mars was really good. And, in the end, the Super Bowl halftime show isn't aimed at football fans so I'm good with using it as a bathroom break or whatever.

I mean, pre-In Living Color halftime alternate resulting in them calling MJ for the '93 event, the halftime show was more of a marching band affair anyway.
I'd say the five best have been Prince, Springsteen & E Street, Bruno Mars, Beyoncé and U2 post-911.
Maybe even in that order tho I'm not married to it.
Four of those were P.T.
*I can't say I saw any of McCartney's because the Eagles and Patriots were knotted at halftime, wasn't no way I could watch anything at that point.
But anyway, it's a fairly thankless task that's nearly impossible to not come off bloated & corny (like award shows) but I do usually watch them just to participate in the conversation.
I don't particularly look forward to Katy Perry because she's prolly got more titties than she does good songs but perhaps she'll surprise me.
I was hoping for Hov but maybe next year.
As long as this one isn't following a half that the Cowboys just played in then I'll be good.

I'm still in no rush to buy her music or blast her songs when they come on the radio but ol girl does put on a show... it's more Cirque du Soleil than straight up live music performance. At the very least it should be interesting to look at also as you mentioned, tig ol bitties.

the girl I first was introduced to as the girlfriend of the dude from Gym Class Heroes, armed with only an acoustic guitar, strumming while singing a tongue-in-cheek folk-pop song about skinny-jean hipsters on Carson Daly's Late Late Show (back when he was still doing it on a soundstage with a weak monologue/house-band) with a chorus that went "you're so gay.....and you don't even like guys".

If you told me back when I first signed on this site that one of the dudes responsible for "Slob On My Knob" would have an Academy Award and (possibly/probably) appear at halftime of a Super Bowl, I'd laugh in your face and tell you to log off forever, fam.
Also amusing to me that less than 10 years later, there's absolutely no way a pop star would ever think of releasing a song called "Ur So Gay", though Katy Perry's mere existence as a major pop star in 2015 is one of the more fascinating things in music to me. Her movie was honestly one of the better music docs I've seen though and she makes a lot more sense if you think of her as a Broadway show with whipped cream shooting out of her tits (for little girls).

Dude is kinda small.
It actually made me a fan for about a week or 2.
-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.
