Michael Jackson can literally be credited for what the half time shows have become today. He literally saved them from being cancelled because nobody used to watch that shit 🤣. My favorite is Prince btw, when it started raining I cried. Janet incident wasn't planned it nearly destroyed her career.
For Prince's show, the weather during the game had been rainy, and this inclement weather continued into Prince's performance, which took place during a downpour. This was the first occasion in which it rained during a Super Bowl halftime show. There was potential hazard due to the material the stage was made of, as it gets slippery when wet, and, adding to the risk, Prince and his dancers were wearing high-heeled shoes. Further hazard was that electric guitars were used. Prince asked if he could et electrocuted and was told possibly. His response? "Cool." Prince is said to have reveled in weather, with some involved in the show since reporting that Prince asked if the show-runners could "make it rain harder".
@@ATLMike94 I'm truly not arguing, just curious about the source, who discounted what the production dude said in the mini "biopic" about the performance. What's the source? ... on a side note Elton John DID once ask that the wind outside his hotel be stopped. as it wasn't to his liking 😆
That story reminds me of the famous performance of "Glycerine" by Bush on MTV Spring Break in 1996. It was lightning and driving rain, and the band refused. But Gavin insisted on going out. He had to sign a waiver to not hold MTV responsible for death or injury. Iconic performances, both of them.

Off the bat, Bruno coming in at #10 is crazy lol. That and Prince were the best Super Bowl halftime performances I remember to this day. Don't get me wrong, others were great, but Bruno and Prince 👌🏿 Update,.... okay spoke too soon about Prince! Wasn't sure after seeing MJ #2 that Prince would top him, but 👏🏿 Bruno tho brought that 1960's James Brown energy tho. Gotta give him higher than 10, but oh well.
So happy Gaga was there, she definitely killed the entire show BY HERSELF TOO. She held attention for the entirety of the performance in the middle of what people called her “flop era” when she literally was just getting started. I was so happy for her and she def deserves a place in the top 10.
I live in Minneapolis, I've seen Prince live a number of times. He was a cool guy. He'd have radio stations announce on a Friday that he was performing at some random place in the twin cities....tickets only $10.
@@Peg__ Those were the good old days. What was the radio station that Eleanor Mondale worked for...she was on their morning show with Rick Hines, who she later married, I think. I think it was 99.5FM.
Michael Jackson was the first artist to turn the halftime show into a concert, whether the ratings went up more during his performance then the actual game. All that followed took his blueprint he was an innovator.
Guys you missed a perfect pun, when talking about office Bloke Chris Music, Daz said he was listening to r&B, Dave says hes lost his edge, thats the guitarists name!! LOL! In MJ's performance, he told the crew not to start the music until he moved his head after popping up.. he stayed in that position for the 2 minutes to build up excitement.. yes it was raining during Purple Rain song.
After the 2004 Wardrobe Malfunction debacle, the Super Bowl played it super safe and went with a string of old dude rockers: Paul McCartney, The Stones, Prince, Tom Petty, Springsteen, and The Who, in that order. It wasn't until 2011 when they went back to more modern music with the Black Eyed Peas. It's been pretty much all pop & hip hop since then. I'm actually surprised this list went with some of those old dude shows, since while I do really like most of those bands, I didn't think they (except Prince) were particularly entertaining for what the halftime show is supposed to be.
Prince and Bruce stuck out to me out of that group. Out of the last decade's more pop focused ones, there's been some great ones but also some disasters. Justin Timberlake's is considered by many to basically be the end of his career as a popstar, Maroon 5's was genuinely awful. But Madonna, Beyonce, and Bruno Mars were all great, while Coldplay and Katy Perry both were pretty solid too. This year's show would belong in the Top 10 in my opinion.
The modern music acts are just awful and except for the spectacle they all rely on their music is terrible and most can't play live. While the Super Bowl might not be the best for live performances Prince showed that if you are truly talented and not terrible like Katy Perry you can make it all about the music and not need the spectacle. To bad the Super Bowl was about 25 years behind the times when it came to the halftime show imagine if they had the modern music acts of the time in the late 60's or 70's doing the halftime show. In their prime Stones and the Who and Springsteen and McCartney not the old versions of themselves.
@@ruddock7 I don't care if Michael's singing live or not because he has proven himself since at the age of 5. Michael's Superbowl is amazing because of it's message like peace love and unity unlike Adam Levine he sings terrible live performance is terrible in short nonsense performance.

Michael Jackson halftime should most definitely been number 1 he literally changed the way of the halftime show and holds the record in Superbowl history for the most halftime views in history, prince comes second
First of all I don't know why you all laughed and looked at each other in that way when she mentioned about MJ "had backup choir that were all children". That infuriated me. This was always a one sided Prince loving poll. When she said "no one has commanded the stage like Prince" lmao MJ was the true no1 showman. The whole event wouldnt if happened without him. And his is still the most highest watched till this day.
You don't understand that MJ was well know for his child abuse accusations? Or are you just playing dumb like you don't know MJ is associated with ch!ld mole$t@tion? I think you had too much Jesus Juice, you don't seem to be thinking clearly.
Super bowl artist do chose who they want to perform with and they usually do plan the set and everything else. They also don’t get paid. The Weekend and Dr. Dre both spent millions out of their pockets. JayZ is currently in charge of picking the half time performer.
It's one of my favorites too. Sometimes less is more. I think a lot of the Superbowls they have too much going on and too many clashing artists performing that don't go well together.
I think less is more sometimes when it comes to the Superbowl. I think this past one with Dre is one of the best because it was well organized and executed. The rappers were the main focus and that's what I liked. They were enough without all the extras
@@bobkitten8150 the focus was definitely on the performers. Have you seen other Superbowl shows with all the lights and extras. This was not like that at all. Wow dancers...so much 🙄
Prince's performance is DEFINITELY no. 1. You've got to react to the NFL's 8 min documentary of it: "Prince Performs “Purple Rain” During Downpour | Super Bowl XLI Halftime Show | NFL" ua-cam.com/video/7NN3gsSf-Ys/v-deo.html
There's a short 8min movie about the Prince show on YT. Check it out, even react to it. It wasn't raining, it's was absolutely pissing it down. When asked if Prince was ok with the rain, he responded " Can you make it rain harder?"
MJ performance is legendary. I guess his name will forever be tainted with the child abuse scandals but he deserves to be on the top of the list. I liked Princé’s too but the nice part was him singing Purple Rain which was too short. MJ whole performance was dope, if he had the technology of modern times back then his show would have been heavenly. Dude stood still for almost 2 minutes and had people going nutts.
I was drinking my Jesus Juice with all the kids having a sleepover at my house watching this in tribute to MJ. It's a loving act to share your bed and your alcohol with children according to MJ.
Mj's whole performance was mimed and the only halftime show that has been, it's a lot easier to perform when you literally only have to concentrate on the dancing!!
For Dre's show, Jay-Z's Roc Nation was the co-producer, and Roc Nation actually co-produced the year before as well. I believe it's a combination of the artists collaborating with the production team.
Prince & Beyoncé will be the only 2 performers that anyone will ever remember after watching their performances. Michael could’ve done better but imagine a Prince & Beyoncé Super Bowl performance…. Crazzzy
Holy hell I just cackle at 2:00 a.m. in the morning. That look you gave him whenever they said Michael had 3,500 children sing behind him was hilarious
Beyoncé should have been higher, when you watch superbowl performances back to back hers is just superior. It’s insane the way she dances and sings live at the same time. And the songs are insanely hard to sing too. And then the stage design, transitions, pyro show and everything else. Her energy and charisma in this performance is off the charts. Michael Jackson was a better performer than Bey in general maybe, but her superbowl was by far better than his.
When someone is a great performer they will always have their audience that love them no matter their age. You are as old as you feel! I cannot stand when someone says someone else is past their prime. Each persons "prime" is different. SMH. The Rolling Stones are still performing and they're in their 70's! And why did anyone blame Janet Jackson about the boob slip when it was Justin Timberlake who pulled the piece away?! It was his fault! Stupid shit. And I must say Bruce Springsteen is the Boss! Period! The narrator referring to Michael Jackson as "Jacko" is an idiot. Very disrespectful.
You guys should check out The Weeknd’s halftime show from last year. It was mid-Covid so it was different, but it was an incredible performance and production 🖤
Janet was a mega star. Her and her family are legacies. Why would she need to resort to low budget gimmicks by exposing herself to millions of people?! There was a wardrobe change and apparently it wasn't double checked before the wardrobe malfunction. Justin Timberlake made a wise crack to the cameras when they rushed him to ask what happened. His comment was immature and made it seem like it was part of the show. He nervously laughed and said "Well, we like to keep you entertained " paraphrasing... instead of just saying a wardrobe accident happened and left it like that. She was mortified and the second it happened and they killed the lights, she rushed off the stage balling her eyes out and took off from the whole damn stadium. Male chauvinistic owner of the superbowl and a bunch of right wing conservative politicians did everything they could to destroy her career and have her black balled. He apologized years later for his part of damaging her career. But the damage was done. The owner basically wanted Janet to kiss his ass to see if she could get off the blacklist. When she didn't beg like he wanted but apologized to the public, Justin did...his career kept going and then he was invited back to the superbowl years later. It struck a cord with her fandom. The sexist behavior of her taking all the blame, hostility and backlash that halted her career was unfair, yet he was invited back and kept thriving. Janet has released a 4 part documentary of her career and talked about the incident. Trust me....that was not the type of attention she was looking for. As I said before, she was already a megastar like her brother. She was already on top of the pyramid. What's even more douchy of Justin is that when he wrote a song with Timberland and Nelly Furtado that was a dis track against Pop icon Prince, he had the audacity to perform a tribute to him after his death, when Justin got invited back to the superbowl. It was him trying to salvage his career, because social media pretty much cancelled him. The black community that helped his career get to stardom closed the doors on him. His writers and producers that helped make his career what it became, suddenly dried up and stopped calling. His career has not regained the popularity it once had. He spent his solo career imitating the black culture american style of music. Having features well known black artists, choreographers, producers that gave him his look and sound on a golden platter....when the well ran dry, suddenly he was doing down home country boy, lumber jack style albums. Supposedly going back to his southern roots.
Sorry but Shakira’s performance was top 5 . She has done 3 world cups alone and her performance was huge. Most streamed, most viewed , most tweeted and Emmy nominated.
I hate that they didn’t show the full clip of Beyoncé’s 2013 performance. She truly had the best performance in my book. It was something for everyone. The energy was CRAZY. Y’all should watch the full show.
The Janet Jackson clip is what inspired the creation of UA-cam. The creators of UA-cam were trying to find the Janet Jackson clip online, and couldn't find it, and they decided to create a website where you could find any video you want.
I wanna see the Office Blokes perform at next year's Superbowl. OB's Dave and Daz can warm up the crowd on stage before OB Mike, as gangster rap persona, "MC One Pound Fiddy" rappels from the roof to really get the party going.
I like U2. Bono seems like a tool but I like U2's music. I actually think Katy Perry's Super Bowl should have been on the list. It was such a crazy spectacle and because of the Left Shark meme, also memorable beyond the performance itself.
@@theshadowfax239 He's come off as both pretentious and hypocritical in the past. Gotten involved in political issues but doesn't do anything to help, just beats his chest and tells people what to do and think. He seems arrogant and full of ego. Now, these are impressions and mostly built on events of past years, so I freely admit I could be judging him wrongly. But I don't just go around hating on celebs or something, that's not my style. So for him to have made this impression on me is actually fairly unique. I still appreciate his musical talent. I'm not as informed on what he has or hasn't done for charity as I should be, but I have the impression he talks more than he acts.
Just my opinion, but Katy Perry's absolutely deserves to be in the top 10. Decent cameos from Lenny Kravitz and Missy Elliott, and the set production, to me, was one of the best. She came out on a giant mechanical Lion, danced around with an uncoordinated "Left Shark" which was a fun meme, and had a lot of good energy. The exact opposite of the Maroon 5 performance.
Ive seen prince live and he sounds even better live. Best concert I’ve been to. The Janet Jackson thing I remember because that was the first time ever my team (Panthers) made it to the Super Bowl. I just remember turning to my gf at the time going “did her boobs just fall out ?”. We also has a streaker before the beginning of the second half 5 min later. My panthers didn’t win the Super Bowl but that was an eventful one
I've been around for all but the 1st 2 Super Bowls. Football being my favorite sport, I've watched it every year and have yet to see a halftime show. I use the time to stretch my legs, use the john, grab some food and a cold beer.
i can't wrap my head around why you don't like U2. songs like PRIDE (IN THE NAME OF LOVE), SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY, ONE, NEW YEARS DAY, MYSTERIOUS WAYS, I WILL FOLLOW - these are just my favs off the top of my head. their true power is in their live performances - watch their LIVE FROM RED ROCKS concert videos. if it doesn't change your opinion i think it'll at least give you insight as to why so many love them.
The Janet slip was not preplanned there was a lot of backlash on JT for doing that. It was mostly a wardrooe malfunction he was supposed to tear that part of into an undergarment not her entire breast.
17:28 Dave's reaction is priceless xd I've watched that MJ superbowl halftime show many many times but never thought of it that way lol Michael usually performed "we are the world" and "heal the world" with children holding hands around a globe.
@@PBurns-ng3gw Superbowl was a month before all that shit started. Who would have thought he was going to be accused of pedophilia. The idea of having children on stage suits the message of those two songs. But I agree with you, in retrospect ,it was probably not the best idea...
@@FourFish47 Seriously, Imagine not being able to play games with your older brother/sister's kids in your yard because some sick minded passing person might think you're a pedophile and call the cops 😂😂
Glad everyone likes Prince's. That's probably my favorite too. I remember really enjoying Katy Perry's show too, which wasn't on this list. I've only seen the ones that I've watched personally so I never went back and watched Michael Jackson's or any the 90s and before ones. The most recent one was pretty good too. Sometimes I'm not really interested in who is actually doing it but they end up being good anyway.
No. 1 and 2 are interchangeable imo. I love both prince and Michael, but I love, love, love, Janet. Despite the wardrobe malfunction (the red lace wasn't supposed to come off), the performance was epic.
Princes half time show is still the greatest half time show to this day. I guarantee you Prince designed his show from beginning to end. The only way I see him getting topped is if Led Zeppelin did it. That would be unreal.

It's one of my favorites too. Sometimes less is more. I think a lot of the Superbowls they have too much going on and too many clashing artists performing that don't go well together.
I think less is more sometimes when it comes to the Superbowl. I think this past one with Dre is one of the best because it was well organized and executed. The rappers were the main focus and that's what I liked. They were enough without all the extras
This year's was boring. Definitely well out of the top 10.
@@ATalkingBadger are you a rap fan?
The stage setup was huge, dancers everywhere, so hardly focused on the performers.
@@bobkitten8150 the focus was definitely on the performers. Have you seen other Superbowl shows with all the lights and extras. This was not like that at all. Wow dancers...so much 🙄
@@mickey10jb80 Of course, your are correct, as always.
Prince's performance is DEFINITELY no. 1. You've got to react to the NFL's 8 min documentary of it: "Prince Performs “Purple Rain” During Downpour | Super Bowl XLI Halftime Show | NFL" ua-cam.com/video/7NN3gsSf-Ys/v-deo.html
There's a short 8min movie about the Prince show on YT. Check it out, even react to it. It wasn't raining, it's was absolutely pissing it down. When asked if Prince was ok with the rain, he responded " Can you make it rain harder?"
MJ performance is legendary. I guess his name will forever be tainted with the child abuse scandals but he deserves to be on the top of the list.
I liked Princé’s too but the nice part was him singing Purple Rain which was too short. MJ whole performance was dope, if he had the technology of modern times back then his show would have been heavenly. Dude stood still for almost 2 minutes and had people going nutts.
I was drinking my Jesus Juice with all the kids having a sleepover at my house watching this in tribute to MJ. It's a loving act to share your bed and your alcohol with children according to MJ.
Mj's whole performance was mimed and the only halftime show that has been, it's a lot easier to perform when you literally only have to concentrate on the dancing!!
@@ruddock7 Then dance like him and upload a video I'll subscribe you🌚
Michael Jackson was the best. He is greatest, most successful and celebrated star ever. He truly was to good for this cruel cruel world. RIP King
Ask the kids about that.
His wasn't the best because he mimed the whole thing. Hard to go wrong vocally if its a recording!!
@@michaelhenderson5074 Haters gonna hate because haters know who is the best🌚
@@ruddock7 MJ lipsynced and people didn't care that's when u know he is the god of music 🌚
Michael jackson will forever be #1 Noone is touching him on stage period!
Honestly, you have to see the Prince halftime show. You have to watch it to understand why it is considered the best. There is nothing like it.
I like to think there’s some alternate universe where the Beatles blow everyone’s mind with a Super Bowl performance
The U2 one was so beautiful.
For once I agree with a list. Prince was THE BEST!!! I still tear up over Purple Rain
For Dre's show, Jay-Z's Roc Nation was the co-producer, and Roc Nation actually co-produced the year before as well. I believe it's a combination of the artists collaborating with the production team.
Garbage
Prince & Beyoncé will be the only 2 performers that anyone will ever remember after watching their performances. Michael could’ve done better but imagine a Prince & Beyoncé Super Bowl performance…. Crazzzy
This is so fire!! 🔥🔥 The nostalgia is real. ❤
The Prince one was pouring down with rain. They were afraid he was going to get electrocuted. Check out purple rain guitar riff. Talented
Holy hell I just cackle at 2:00 a.m. in the morning. That look you gave him whenever they said Michael had 3,500 children sing behind him was hilarious
Artists pay to play the SuperBowl halftime show. Lots are asked, but a lot of them don't want to pay, they want to get paid.
the prince one will always be #1… since that was the colts(in indy) first super bowl. but being from indiana MJ will always be #2
The artists don’t get paid a large sum of month for the super bowl. They get union scale (the minimum). Their reward is exposure.
They don't get paid for the Superbowl
Beyoncé should have been higher, when you watch superbowl performances back to back hers is just superior. It’s insane the way she dances and sings live at the same time. And the songs are insanely hard to sing too. And then the stage design, transitions, pyro show and everything else. Her energy and charisma in this performance is off the charts. Michael Jackson was a better performer than Bey in general maybe, but her superbowl was by far better than his.
You guys should find Prince’s halftime show and react.
17:28 the scream I screamed LMFAOOOOOO
When someone is a great performer they will always have their audience that love them no matter their age. You are as old as you feel! I cannot stand when someone says someone else is past their prime. Each persons "prime" is different. SMH. The Rolling Stones are still performing and they're in their 70's! And why did anyone blame Janet Jackson about the boob slip when it was Justin Timberlake who pulled the piece away?! It was his fault! Stupid shit. And I must say Bruce Springsteen is the Boss! Period! The narrator referring to Michael Jackson as "Jacko" is an idiot. Very disrespectful.
Prince is definitely #1 on my list. You guys should react to the documentary on his halftime show, & also react to the whole performance. EPIC!! ❤️
You guys should check out The Weeknd’s halftime show from last year. It was mid-Covid so it was different, but it was an incredible performance and production 🖤
How did Coldplays not get a mention? Beyonce and Bruno made that an all timer
Janet was a mega star. Her and her family are legacies. Why would she need to resort to low budget gimmicks by exposing herself to millions of people?!
There was a wardrobe change and apparently it wasn't double checked before the wardrobe malfunction.
Justin Timberlake made a wise crack to the cameras when they rushed him to ask what happened.
His comment was immature and made it seem like it was part of the show.
He nervously laughed and said "Well, we like to keep you entertained " paraphrasing...
instead of just saying a wardrobe accident happened and left it like that.
She was mortified and the second it happened and they killed the lights, she rushed off the stage balling her eyes out and took off from the whole damn stadium.
Male chauvinistic owner of the superbowl and a bunch of right wing conservative politicians did everything they could to destroy her career and have her black balled.
He apologized years later for his part of damaging her career. But the damage was done.
The owner basically wanted Janet to kiss his ass to see if she could get off the blacklist. When she didn't beg like he wanted but apologized to the public, Justin did...his career kept going and then he was invited back to the superbowl years later.
It struck a cord with her fandom. The sexist behavior of her taking all the blame, hostility and backlash that halted her career was unfair, yet he was invited back and kept thriving.
Janet has released a 4 part documentary of her career and talked about the incident. Trust me....that was not the type of attention she was looking for. As I said before, she was already a megastar like her brother. She was already on top of the pyramid.
What's even more douchy of Justin is that when he wrote a song with Timberland and Nelly Furtado that was a dis track against Pop icon Prince, he had the audacity to perform a tribute to him after his death, when Justin got invited back to the superbowl. It was him trying to salvage his career, because social media pretty much cancelled him. The black community that helped his career get to stardom closed the doors on him.
His writers and producers that helped make his career what it became, suddenly dried up and stopped calling. His career has not regained the popularity it once had.
He spent his solo career imitating the black culture american style of music. Having features well known black artists, choreographers, producers that gave him his look and sound on a golden platter....when the well ran dry, suddenly he was doing down home country boy, lumber jack style albums. Supposedly going back to his southern roots.
Sorry but Shakira’s performance was top 5 . She has done 3 world cups alone and her performance was huge. Most streamed, most viewed , most tweeted and Emmy nominated.
I hate that they didn’t show the full clip of Beyoncé’s 2013 performance. She truly had the best performance in my book. It was something for everyone. The energy was CRAZY. Y’all should watch the full show.
The Janet Jackson clip is what inspired the creation of UA-cam. The creators of UA-cam were trying to find the Janet Jackson clip online, and couldn't find it, and they decided to create a website where you could find any video you want.
I wanna see the Office Blokes perform at next year's Superbowl. OB's Dave and Daz can warm up the crowd on stage before OB Mike, as gangster rap persona, "MC One Pound Fiddy" rappels from the roof to really get the party going.
1 Michael
2 Stones
3 prince
The rest......I can live without.
I like U2. Bono seems like a tool but I like U2's music. I actually think Katy Perry's Super Bowl should have been on the list. It was such a crazy spectacle and because of the Left Shark meme, also memorable beyond the performance itself.
I don't understand why everyone thinks Bono is a tool. The only answer I get is they hate how much he does for charity and I just go 🤨🙄
@@theshadowfax239 He's come off as both pretentious and hypocritical in the past. Gotten involved in political issues but doesn't do anything to help, just beats his chest and tells people what to do and think. He seems arrogant and full of ego. Now, these are impressions and mostly built on events of past years, so I freely admit I could be judging him wrongly. But I don't just go around hating on celebs or something, that's not my style. So for him to have made this impression on me is actually fairly unique. I still appreciate his musical talent. I'm not as informed on what he has or hasn't done for charity as I should be, but I have the impression he talks more than he acts.
Just my opinion, but Katy Perry's absolutely deserves to be in the top 10. Decent cameos from Lenny Kravitz and Missy Elliott, and the set production, to me, was one of the best. She came out on a giant mechanical Lion, danced around with an uncoordinated "Left Shark" which was a fun meme, and had a lot of good energy. The exact opposite of the Maroon 5 performance.
Previous to Michael Jackson, Disney did most of the half-time show with a "Special Guest". Like, "New Kids on the Block".
17:28 I see you Dave. 🤣👀
It really was pouring. Amazing performance -- wish they would have played a bit more of the musical finale
Ive seen prince live and he sounds even better live. Best concert I’ve been to. The Janet Jackson thing I remember because that was the first time ever my team (Panthers) made it to the Super Bowl. I just remember turning to my gf at the time going “did her boobs just fall out ?”. We also has a streaker before the beginning of the second half 5 min later. My panthers didn’t win the Super Bowl but that was an eventful one
I was wondering where Dave was going with that Dax 😂🤣
Springsteen was so bad for me. Lol I was a kid. But it was just not entertaining enough for super bowl. Lol
Daz's face when Dave said bang on beyonce
I've been around for all but the 1st 2 Super Bowls. Football being my favorite sport, I've watched it every year and have yet to see a halftime show. I use the time to stretch my legs, use the john, grab some food and a cold beer.
i can't wrap my head around why you don't like U2. songs like PRIDE (IN THE NAME OF LOVE), SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY, ONE, NEW YEARS DAY, MYSTERIOUS WAYS, I WILL FOLLOW - these are just my favs off the top of my head.
their true power is in their live performances - watch their LIVE FROM RED ROCKS concert videos. if it doesn't change your opinion i think it'll at least give you insight as to why so many love them.
3:55 Dave, i know it sounded vaguely like Sweet Leaf by Sabbath but it was the end of Give It Away Now. They have a similar guitar riff.
Michael Jackson is the only one who gets that much cheering for just standing still and as soon as he turns his head people lose their minds. Crazy
MJ, Madonna and Prince. Then the rest in any order
Ok I can take Prince being #1 only because he did it in the pure pouring down rain.
You guys are so fucking British it makes my face hurt!!!! Keep killing it boys!
17:28 Dave has to chill 🤣🤣🤣 I was thinking the exact same thing.
I literally screamed🤣
You guys should react to Prince's Halftime Show! It was amazing
I'm 39 and I've never met a single U2 fan in my entire life. Seriously, not a single person
It did start to rain during Prince performance.
1. Prince
2. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Mary, Eminem and Kendrick
3. Bruce Springsteen
The Janet slip was not preplanned there was a lot of backlash on JT for doing that. It was mostly a wardrooe malfunction he was supposed to tear that part of into an undergarment not her entire breast.
17:28 Dave's reaction is priceless xd I've watched that MJ superbowl halftime show many many times but never thought of it that way lol Michael usually performed "we are the world" and "heal the world" with children holding hands around a globe.
I'm just saying, in retrospect, it was probably not a great idea to surround Michael Jackson with that many children.
It's really a shame when it's more acceptable for men to be deadbeat dads than actually like kids, especially their own. That's all he's guilty of.
@@PBurns-ng3gw Superbowl was a month before all that shit started. Who would have thought he was going to be accused of pedophilia. The idea of having children on stage suits the message of those two songs. But I agree with you, in retrospect ,it was probably not the best idea...
@@FourFish47 Seriously, Imagine not being able to play games with your older brother/sister's kids in your yard because some sick minded passing person might think you're a pedophile and call the cops 😂😂
@@midomidomid We sure are judgemental.
Man, I miss Tom Petty. like Springsteen, he doesn’t need flash and fireworks. For me, this year’s halftime show was my favorite.
Tom Petty was always overrated.
You guys make my day better 👏🏼
17:25 That awkward moment followed by the look around the room. Great restraint, Office Blokes. Well-played 😂😂
Bruce Springsteen was amazing
The Blokes reaction to the mention of the kids choir. 🤣🤣
The only Super Bowl that it ever rained at
I'm surprised they didn't mention J-Lo and Shakira.
Glad everyone likes Prince's. That's probably my favorite too. I remember really enjoying Katy Perry's show too, which wasn't on this list. I've only seen the ones that I've watched personally so I never went back and watched Michael Jackson's or any the 90s and before ones. The most recent one was pretty good too. Sometimes I'm not really interested in who is actually doing it but they end up being good anyway.
No. 1 and 2 are interchangeable imo. I love both prince and Michael, but I love, love, love, Janet. Despite the wardrobe malfunction (the red lace wasn't supposed to come off), the performance was epic.
Princes half time show is still the greatest half time show to this day. I guarantee you Prince designed his show from beginning to end. The only way I see him getting topped is if Led Zeppelin did it. That would be unreal.
PLEASE REACT TO JLO AND SHAKIRA HALF TIME! WORTH THE WATCH FOR SURE!
really enjoying the longer videos lately
Prince's superbowl, react to it please
I'm surprised there were no casualties at that game when U2 performed, cause listening to their music makes me want to blow myself up💣💥
Yes. The artists do it like it’s their own show.
