JIMMIE JOHNSON: WILL SUPERBOWL FIFTY-SIX HALFTIME SHOW BE THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME?
THE N-F-L CERTAINLY THINKS SO. THEY ANNOUNCED THE STAR-STUDDED LINEUP BY TWEETING, “43 GRAMMYS, 19 NO. 1 BILLBOARD ALBUMS, AND 5 LEGENDARY ARTISTS ON THE BIGGEST STAGE IN LOS ANGELES.”
THE MUSICAL ARTISTS INCLUDE DOCTOR DRE, SNOOP DOGG, EMINEM, MARY J. BLIGE, AND KENDRICK LAMAR.
THE FIRST LARGE GROUP OF ARTISTS SINCE 2004, INCLUDING JANET JACKSON AND JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE.
WE ALL REMEMBER HOW THAT PLAYED OUT.
BUT CAN THEY OVERSHADOW PERFORMANCES LIKE BEYONCE’S LIGHTS-OUT SHOW IN NEW ORLEANS AND REUNION WITH ‘DESTINY’S CHILD.’
BEYONCE: “Tell me what you think about me. Got my own diamonds and I’ll buy my own ring.”
JIMMIE: OR BRUNO MARS DANCE-OFF AND SING-ALONG IN SUPER BOWL FORTY-EIGHT?
BRUNO MARS: “Ah Yeah. Yeah. Ah Yeah. Yeah. Woo.”
JIMMIE: EVERYONE HAS SEEN MICHAEL JACKSON’S 1993 SOLO ACT. RIGHT?
MICHAEL JACKSON: “Billie Jean is not my lover”
JIMMIE: AND ONE OF MY ALL-TIME FAVORITES, PRINCE.
PRINCE: “PURPLE RAIN, PURPLE RAIN.”
JIMMIE: IT STORMED DURING PRINCE’S HALFTIME SHOW IN 2007 AND HE PULLED OFF SOMETHING ONLY PRINCE COULD DO, SING HIS ANTHEM, ‘PURPLE RAIN’ ON A WET, SLIPPERY STAGE.
WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE HALF-TIME SHOW?
