Halftime show.

[AsUpRoDiGy]

My vote is for Deadmau5

 

[Cardinal Bob]

My guess at the next 4 years:

Journey
Bon Jovi
Phil Collins
Eric Clapton

My guess is Bon Jovi will be asked to play in 2014 when the game is in NJ...since Bruce has already done it.

Phil Collins has retired from preforming so he's out, and my guess is Clapton would decline.

Personlly, I'd love to see Metallica do it, but the NFL would NEVER go for that. It'd be cool though.

Can't beat U2...We may need a poll.

Definitely better than the old "Up With People" and Disney Shows of the 70's & 80's.

The visual end of the production was outstanding, but I thought that the audio part of the program was horrendous. I had to turn my tv up a lot to be able to hear the words and the instrumental was way too loud in comparison to the vocal mix. Finally toward the end the audio finally started to improve but I thought it was horrendous at the beginning.

It seems like most of today's music is like that. The music is always much louder than the vocals and you can't make out the words because they put their mouths on top of the microphone. You should be close, but you don't have to stick the microphone into your mouth.

What I find hilarious is the outrage over M.I.A's middle finger while right behind her there are 20 chicks with their legs spread and hoohas up the air. No sense at all...

 

[Dr. Jones]

I would love to see Muse..... I love U2 also.

Of the "older" groups, Bon Jovi is a good choice. MC Hammer would be hilarious. lol

It might turn into a family ***** type thing..... Maybe they announce a 5 year deal with American Idol or X-Factor to have the top 10 do some version of their tour.

We also haven't mentioned Mariah Carey, Jennifer Lopez, Zepplin Reunion(?), Van Halen, Police reunion(?), Aerosmith, Billy Joel, Tim & Faith, and finally, Kenny Chesney.

How about "Queen"?

 

[Dr. Jones]

How about "Queen"?

Queen died the day Freddy Mercury died. No one can replace him IMO.

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

I don't know if they are big enough, but this past year in Vegas at the Wendy's convention, Foreigner played and put on a surpsingly excellent show.

 

[az jam]

The production was good but Madonna is over the hill (just like me). I hate lip synching. Can't they get some more current popular act?

Heard today that 113 million Super Bowl viewers; 114 million Halftime show viewers, making this year's Super Bowl Halftime Show the most watched television show in the history of TV.

I missed it.

Not sure if it is accurate, but this states the game itself peaked at 162.9m.

Super Bowl XLV is the most-watched tv show ever w/ total 162.9m viewers topping last year's 153.4m

This.

I rarely watch the halftime show.

 

[JeffGollin]

What might have made the halftime "interesting" would have been Madonna emerging from a cornacopia of fruits and vegetables belting out:

I'm a Vegan

 

[BigRedRage]

funny, the night of the bowl I read reports that it wasnt even the most watched super bowl ever but in the proceeding days everything has said most watched anything on tv ever

 

[BigRedRage]

What might have made the halftime "interesting" would have been Madonna emerging from a cornacopia of fruits and vegetables belting out:

I'm a Vegan

Or "and I'm a Mormon"

Muse is one of the greatest shows I have ever seen. Those guys are true talents.

Aerosmith already did it with Britney and N'Sync a while back. I thought about including them until I recalled that.

Reuters:

Madonna's halftime performance, airing from 8 to 8:30 p.m. ET, was watched by 114 million viewers, and scored a 47.4 household rating, narrowly beating out the overall averages for the game, which averaged 111.3 million total viewers and a 47.0 household rating.

I haven't found anything that backs up the morning DJ's assertion that it was the most watched TV broadcast of any kind, though.

Edit: Nevermind:

http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/02/07/us-superbowl-tv-idUSTRE8151Q020120207

Ratings tracker Nielsen on Monday said the Super Bowl on the NBC network was the most-watched TV program in U.S. history, eclipsing the 111.0 million who watched 2011's game. An extra three million tuned in for Madonna's glitzy, Cleopatra-themed performance, giving the Material Girl the distinction of having the most-watched Super Bowl halftime show ever.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Van Halen is going on tour this year...... :shrugs:

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

They're some big names that haven't been used. Elton John, Billy Joel, Garth Brooks, David Bowie, I think Fleetwood Mac is touring(or maybe it was ABBA), Rod Stewart, come to mind.

 

[Jetstream Green]

Van Halen's new LP kicks butt...wish Steve Tyler would treat Aersomith with some seriousness and get the heck off American Idol. I did not care for Madonna but I can complete understand the logic behind it and they succeeded.

 

[MrYeahBut]

They could go waaaayyy back.... Johnny Winter...'Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo'

He's so white how could he piss the establishment off....lmao

If they want to go rock & roll go Foo Fighters.

The future is now!

 

[Gee!]
