They all suck. Just a bunch of choreographed lip synching.

I watched turning point halftime. I’m not a country fan but they played some good music.

Prince playing purple rain in a downpour. The interview before the game he was told they forecasted possible showers. Prince said,”let it rain harder”

Its crazy how it started raining during purple rain. Prince was good.

Prince #1
Michael Jackson #2
Bruno Mars #3
Mike set the tone, but Prince owns the throne. Bruno was the mix of the two

So many good country artists that are really good they never look at for it. Too pop culture

miss the good days of generational talent headlining the halftime show.
Metallica comes to mind.

Prince playing live electric guitar with actual live vocals in a downpour plugged into all of those watts was as good as it’ll ever get. He freaking owned it and had the whole stadium singing Purple Rain. It wasn’t 100% perfect note for note but it was raw and real.
I’ve watched that half a dozen times.

I think it's just more fractured now. Brandi Carlile sang at the SB today...she kicks all kinds of arse. Seen her live.
Tyler Childers is doing his own thing and is 1 of 1 IMO.
Sierra Ferrell feels generational to me but she's still on the come-up.
Feels like the big credible but mainstream rock bands are a thing of the past. Guns. U2. R.E.M. Etc.

For fans of the Prince show the Charasmatic Voice lady does a breakdown. It’s long and she back tracks a lot but you can see how she’s blown away.

His cover of the foo fighters brings me to tears….he was out of this world. Like someone else mentioned, it was pure and raw.

Prince definitely knocked labor of the park

Prince’s 2007 Super Bowl halftime show was already a logistical nightmare before the cables were damaged. The game in Miami was hit with a torrential downpour, turning the field into a slick hazard and forcing the crew to assemble the stage at high speed.
In the chaos, volunteers accidentally drove carts over three essential power lines, severing them just minutes before the performance. With no time for a proper repair and the broadcast clock ticking, the lighting team had to improvise on the spot.
One crew member stripped the ends of the broken cables, crouched beneath the stage, and physically held the live wires together by hand for the entire twelve-minute show while rainwater poured through the structure above him.
Despite the danger and the conditions, the connection held, and Prince delivered what is now considered one of the greatest halftime shows in NFL history. The audience never knew that part of the performance’s electricity was literally being supplied by one person’s grip beneath the stage.
