Where is Madonna from? Detroit. Lions Super Bowl. BAM! This is the best halftime. Shania Twain, No Doubt, and Sting. <iframe width="480" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/b42DlHF2MLM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
I wish one year just once they would have someone like tool, apc, nine inch nails, chevelle play.... then people will wake up and realize what real music is.
When I say modern rock, I'd figure it has to be at least someone playing arenas. No nickelback or three days grace crap though I was thinking Foo Fighters, Coldplay, Green Day, Muse, or Kings of Leon or something. Not that all of those would be good (I am not a KoL fan at all), but I'd take them over a classic rock act. I'd also love Kanye or Jay-Z, or how about both of them together? Though they'd probably figure Kanye to be too risky. And what about Arcade Fire? Seriously, what better half-time show then having everyone in the stadium singing along to "Wake Up"? In fact, wasn't "Wake Up" their theme during the superbowl last year? (Or was that the draft?)
I would pick Shakira, not for her singing, but to see her dancing, and shaking that butt, something similar to the NBA All-star game halftime show. <iframe width="480" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/1IOfWjjiGlI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
any takes on what song she will perform? I'm thinking Ray of Light is one song. And then maybe this song could be dedicated to Peyton Manning. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/tQsooCyjcv4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Super Bowl halftime shouldn't be that hard, but they're too frightened to upset their sponsors or overly sensitive mommies and daddies watching with their kids (the kids of course, playing in the other room). Sadly, pleasing football fans is a distant second. I will say, you've got to be (have been?) HUGE to play the Super Bowl. If you can't sell out a stadium tour, you're out. I like Arcade Fire, but they're simply not on that level. Anyone over 35 wouldn't even know who they are. Madonna's a miserable choice. Pearl Jam should have been selected by now. Beyonce Jay-Z (and Kanye) AC-DC (problem is all the flak from parent groups) Bon Jovi's an obvious safe choice Fleetwood Mac fits the nursing home issue...but could still put on a fun 20 minute set. Ditto (Roth) Van Halen Country needs someone to take the torch, but aside from maybe a Hill/McGraw duo, I'm not sure if anyone's reached the Garth Brooks/Shania Twain level of crossover national popularity. Kenny Chesney or Alan Jackson maybe. Evan
What? You guys don't want to see this? I'm just going to watch Mankind fight The Rock. That's still a thing, right?
