Best acts at the Super Bowl halftime

Prince at the Super Bowl 41

In Miami Prince performed in the pouring rain and he played 4 different guitars during the performance.

Michael Jackson at the Super Bowl 27

Jackson started off this unforgettable show as he jumped out of the stage and stood silent for close to 90 seconds before the music started. His performance changed the halftime show into the contemporary spectacle that we anticipate nowadays.

Beyoncé at the Super Bowl 44

Beyoncé performed in her home town Houston, and she sang the national anthem at the Super Bowl XXXVIII. She also performed a song from Destiny’s Child and was simply superb.

Coldplay at the Super Bowl 50

Cold play did not get the reception when he performed at the 50th Super Bowl. The guest appearance of Beyoncé and Bruno Mars did not help either.

The Black Eyed Peas at the Super Bowl 45

The performance by Black Eyed peas at the Super Bowl XLV was a dam squid. The costumes were awful the was not up to the mark. Even the guest appearances from Usher and Slash were not received well.

Be Bop Bamboozled the Super Bowl 23

The performance was totally flat from the beginning. The awful “Elvis Presto,” the act can only remember as to how terrible it was. The 3-D effects were of no help.
