Who do you think would be good Superbowl Halftime performers?

[Richland123]

Some of the Superbowl Halftime performances have been lackluster with performers who probably should not have been selected.

I heard today that Justin Beiber is lobbying for next year's Superbowl Halftime show.

Here is a list of all the Superbowl Halftime shows.

Who do you think would be good Superbowl Halftime performers?

Here are just a few suggestions in my personal opinion of acts who have a wide audience appeal, can perform well, and have never been there.

Bon Jovi
Garth Brooks
Keith Urban
Bryan Adams

I was trying to think of some newer performers as well.

Who would you suggest?

 

[Clark Dark]

Bootsy with the P-Funk All Stars
Clapton, Winwood, John Mayer
Santana
Level 42
Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins

 

[Clarence Walker]

Tom Waits with Keith Richards

Up With People remain my halftime show alpha and omega.

Although Sunday I was wishing for the Stanford marching band.

Since it's a pay-to-play gig, how about a local band showcase every year?

Trying to calculate the average age of the suggested performers so far: Probably north of 60.

How about the Foo Fighters, if they still exist as a band? They have pretty broad appeal, at least on an age basis. Just need to come up with an established R&B or hip hop performer they can collaborate with.

Honestly, I have never much cared about the Superbowl Halftime Show. The only one I ever thought was pretty good was Prince. All my favorites are either old or dead.

How about a tribute act?

Ohio State??

Florida A&M??

Just about any marching band program would be preferred.

just hire a rave DJ and pass out glow sticks. he pushes the "play" icon and pumps his/her fist to the beat. strobe the stadium lights, etc

I'm not sure it you posted this as a joke, but I actually think it would work better than most musical acts.

Who? My preference would be a couple of really good college marching bands - marching around in complex formations, playing marching music. The way half time shows are supposed to be. The way they used to be....now, it's time for a nap, so get off my lawn!
