Title: Super Bowl Halftime Show - if not Adele then who? Post by: Tal on August 18, 2016, 01:36:36 AM From the original idea of filling the bit between the first and second halves with a marching band playing the usual anthems, the biggest annual sporting event in the world now has a major act performing a medley of a few of their hits.
Adele has turned it down for 2017 so there is an open slot for a big star to fill 15 minutes. To give you a feel for how big an act we are talking about, here's who has been the main performing act since 1990: 1991: New Kids on the Block 1992: Gloria Estefan 1993: Michael Jackson 1994: Clint Black and others 1995: Tony Bennett and others 1996: Diana Ross 1997: The Blues Brothers 1998: Various Motown acts 1999: Stevie Wonder 2000: Walt Disney special (Christina Aguilera, Enrique Iglesias, Phil Collins and Tina Turner) 2001: Aerosmith 2002: U2 2003: Shania Twain 2004: Jessica Simpson (plus others including Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake...remember?) 2005: Paul McCartney 2006: The Rolling Stones 2007: Prince 2008: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers 2009: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band 2010: The Who 2011: Black Eyed Peas 2012: Madonna 2013: Beyoncé 2014: Bruno Mars 2015: Katy Perry 2016: Coldplay YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nC_iiq06qck YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_V0JqHp8O0 YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vV8p4fCOzhw You get the idea. So, who would you have and why? As you will see from the youtube videos, the main act gets to have as many guests as they want, but bear in mind you only get 15 minutes so make use of the time.

My first choice would be Meat Loaf. YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSTIsZULYmY That'd be a great opening number. Maybe Bat out of Hell in the middle if the networks allow the word Hell. Could finish with I Would Do Anything for Love. All the over the top nonsense that makes the Super Bowl what it is, plus some great music and plenty to get the crowd going. Get him on the shortlist, Pepsi, please! Title: Re: Super Bowl Halftime Show - if not Adele then who?

Think he'd probably be a decent fit for the Superbowl. Title: Re: Super Bowl Halftime Show - if not Adele then who? Post by: Doobs on August 18, 2016, 02:39:48 AM Nobody takes risks these days.
Turn the lights off and just put this on. YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWThDKGVZJI Maybe follow it up with New Grass and Ascension Day too. And make them drink coke too, pepsi is bloody awful. |
