Is Bruce Springsteen a Good Choice for the Halftime Show?

BuzzSugar — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 12:38:51 -0700

The Boss may be coming soon to a football field near you . . . or at least your TV. Rumor has it that he'll be playing the Super Bowl halftime show this February. He'd be following in the footsteps of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, the Rolling Stones, and Janet Jackson (but, um, nobody likes talking about that one).

On the one hand, I would love to see the Super Bowl try again to feature an artist who got popular within the last decade or so; they can't all have wardrobe malfunctions, right? On the other hand . . . it's Bruce! How can I complain?

If this rumor proves to be true and Bruce really is the halftime performer, will you think it's a good call?

What Did You Think of Tom Petty's Halftime Show?

Tom Petty took the field at the Super Bowl today, performing a set of his best-known songs including "American Girl" and "Free Fallin'" for the cheering crowd. Do you think he rocked? Or were Petty and his Heartbreakers showing their age?

The Triumphant Return of Prince

When I first heard that Prince was playing the Super Bowl Halftime Show, I wasn't sure what to expect. After all, we haven't heard from Prince in a while, so it was equally possible that he would totally rule or just come off as a washed-up former rock star.

What we got was arguably the best Halftime Show in years: Not only did Prince actually seem to be having a great time, but he reminded us of the awesome talent that only a man comfortable in a sea-foam green suit can emanate. His voice sounded stellar, and he pulled out all the stops on the guitar. In case you missed it, here are the highlights from the show:

Prince managing to look cool while wearing a little kerchief to protect him from the rain.
A rockin' cover of "Proud Mary" with the glow-in-the-dark FAMU marching band.
The back-lit silhouette of the artist playing a ridiculous Prince-symbol-shaped guitar in front of a fluttering flap of fabric.
Plenty of improvisational outbursts, including air kisses and lines like: "Somebody take my picture/ with all this rain in sight!"
A "Purple Rain" guitar solo in the pouring rain.
