Who would you like to see do a SB Halftime show?

My significant other said Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw would do a great job, be non controversial and appeal to a lot of people. That’s not my style of music, but I could see that being well liked. I would like to see a tri fecta of Eminem, Nelly and Weezer. Who ya got?

Do something that kids can watch.  My kids started watching it and said, Dad this group does not sound like they sing appropriate words in their songs.  I said, good choice kids lets turn it.

A Disney themed halftime show would be cool!

TBH I enjoy Maroon 5 music.....until the featured artist part comes on. Their music with just them is good, but when they bring in like cardi b, wiz, Kendrick, etc. it totally kills the song for me. And I like those artists music on their own but if I’m in the mood for M5, it’s specifically to not hear cardi b making noises. Payphone is one of my favorite songs, then wiz fucks up the vibe.

Get rid of it and cut the half time back to 30 minutes.  I want to watch football, not the nonsense that has been going on at halftime for the last few decades.

I'd love to see "Weird Al" Yankovic do it.

Now, before you scoff...

The guy has talent, he can bring it, and he could pull it off nicely. Plus, the "accompanying acts" on stage with him could sing along to the parodies of THEIR OWN songs. Think of the possibilities!

In all seriousness...there's really only two answers and I can't believe I'm saying this.

Taylor Swift or Beyonce. Justin Timberlake and Bruno Mars would be on here, but they've both done it recently.

The Super Bowl halftime show isn't about who has the best music, it's about who's the best live performer. Who can command an entire stadium audience and perform his or her ass off.

Taylor Swift, not my cup of tea, but he's an INCREDIBLE performer. Beyonce the same.

Since Beyonce's done it recently. Give me...

Main Act: Taylor Swift
Rock Act: Metallica
Rap Act: Drake (Kendrick Lamar would be #2 despite being way better than Drake)

That would be the most watched show, but also an incredible show...and I don't really listen to any of the 3.

There are lots of good options out there but the problem is these bands/groups/performers are essentially unknown. I come across awesome music on Spotify all the time. I don't know who any of these bands/artists are but they sound great. It's just too bad nobody knows who they are.

I've never seen a Super Bowl where they got multiple acts that wasn't a shitshow. It always ends up meaning 1) whoever they booked as the headliner ain't really a star and 2) it's going to be awkward and jacked up.

The best super bowl halftime show ever was Prince, so just book legend acts.

Last night sucked!  Maroon 5 is the best the NFL can get?  Worst halftime show since the holograms of The Who performed.  I'm surprised that Bon Jovi hasn't performed, guess the league has problems with them being FOBB's (Friends of Bill and Bob).  Also, why not Seger?  Saw him a couple years ago and still had heat on the fastball.  AC/DC and Def would be awesome.
