production extravagance and star power

check out our original top 10 Superbowl
halftime shows number 10 the who Super
Bowl 44 what better group to have
perform at the Super Bowl halftime show
and one of the best classic rock bands
of all time the whose performance
consisted of a medley of hits including
pinball wizard Baba O’Riley and who are
you and each song was accompanied by a
beautiful synchronized light show the
crowd went wild and sang along complete
with a particularly rousing we won’t get
fooled again it really doesn’t get much
better than enjoying a few beers eating
some chicken wings and pizza and rocking
out to these classic tunes number 9 the
Black Eyed Peas
slash and usher Superbowl 45 sure the
Black Eyed Peas might have seemed a
little overwhelmed at Super Bowl 45 they
were missing their characteristic energy
and they’ve definitely sounded better
but their appearance was something of a
historical turning point for the
halftime show with dance pop and
extravagant production taking center
stage and man what a lineup of hits
slash and usher were also there to add
some classic rock and R&B flavors to the
proceedings it was a performance that
changed the direction of halftime shows
from the dad rock of the WHO and the
Rolling Stones to the more wide-reaching
bombastic productions of the 2010s
number 8 a tribute to Motown’s 40th
anniversary Super Bowl xxxii the
halftime of Super Bowl 32 was a tribute
to classic Motown artists and featured
notable R&B performers like boys to men
Smokey Robinson and the temptations and
what’d you think of it depends largely
on your appreciation for our be yes it
contained the usual production
shenanigans like synchronized dancers
giant records and fireworks but the
music itself was relatively subdued no
deafening guitars no weird
auto-tuned vocal
Stadium rousing choruses just people on
stage singing their hearts out
the show celebrated music history while
being entertaining in its own right
although yeah Martha Reeves did not
sound her best just ignore that part
number seven Tom Petty and the
Heartbreakers Super Bowl 42 and we’re
back to the classic rock the Super Bowl
really goes through stages doesn’t it
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
performed at Super Bowl 42 and played
through all their big hits including
American Girl free fallin and running
down a dream there’s nothing fancy about
this gig no extravagant light show and
not a single dancer can you believe that
not one dancer it’s just an iconic
American band doing what they do best
and giving the audience the time of
their lives it was great in its time and
it’s even better looking back oh we miss
you Tom number six
tapestry of Nations Super Bowl 34 ladies
and gentlemen for the Super Bowl 34
halftime show we proudly present a
Disney produced show narrated by edward
james olmos oh what that sounds like an
utter disaster but it was an experiment
that we believe paid off handsomely the
show consisted of a full orchestra an 80
person choir and various singers like
Phil Collins Christina Aguilera and Toni
Braxton it looked and sounded like a
live-action Disney movie a symphony hall
and a modern Super Bowl production all
rolled into one and the results were
certainly unique it was something daring
and new and we have to give the
entertainment planners props for trying
it out
number 5 Diana Ross Super Bowl 30 the
90s were a transitional time for
halftime shows case in point Super Bowl
30 which blended the music of Diana Ross
with modern spectacle and you know what
it worked
we got the spectacular image of raw
singing stop in the name of love atop a
sparkling platform and then the visual
wonder of performers fanning out across
the field in a stunning colorful
kaleidoscope Diana Ross pyrotechnics and
stadium card stunts might have been an
unexpected combo but she sure put on one
heck of a show
number 4 Coldplay Beyonce and Bruno Mars
Super Bowl 50 when you think of the
modern Super Bowl halftime shows this is
probably the one that comes to mind this
fiftieth halftime was both us
operation of the years popular artists
and a tribute to the halftime shows of
old and it’s one of the most spectacular
things you will ever see on TV Coldplay
performed their hits in a beautiful
array of colors Bruno Mars Slade uptown
funk and Beyonce and her personal army
of dancers entered through a haze of
fireworks and sparkles everything was
magnificent from the production design
to the music to the theatricality which
of course included a lot of fantastic
dancing from both Bruno and Beyonce they
don’t get much more sensational than
this number three Katy Perry Super Bowl
xlix we say they don’t get much more
sensational but one could certainly
argue that Katy Perry put on the more
visually spectacular show she rode in on
a 20-foot tall mechanical lion and left
on a floating star for crying out loud
but the whole thing wasn’t just
breathtaking theatrics as Katy Perry
proved to be a magnificent and confident
performer she totally commanded both the
stage and the audience and performed
through a dazzling production that must
have cost a small fortune plus it gave
us left shark which is probably one of
the most mean things to ever come from a
Super Bowl this halftime show really did
have it all number two
Stevie Wonder Gloria Estefan and Big Bad
Voodoo Daddy Super Bowl 33 the halftime
show of Super Bowl 33 was titled a
celebration of soul salsa and swing a
promise that it more than delivered on
it started with a fun swing sequence
complete with suited performers and
dozens of synchronized dancers before
transitioning into the soulful sounds of
Stevie Wonder Gloria Estefan closed the
show with an energetic and colorful
performance that left the audience
reeling the whole thing came across is
more of a wild party than a produced
show and it’s clear that both the
performers and the audience were having
a fantastic time few halftime shows
we’re as fun as this one before we
unveil our number one pick here are some
number one Paul McCartney Super Bowl 39
Paul McCartney may seem like a safe bet
for a halftime show and that is entirely
by design just one year earlier was the
infamous Janet Jackson Justin Timberlake
Fiasco and wishing to avoid another
potential controversy the producers
decided on the always safe and
consistently delightful Paul McCartney
Paul dazzled with fan favorites like get
back and live and let die before
launching into the stadium rousing Hey
Jude which predictably had all 78,000 in
attendance singing and humming along the
whole thing was a brilliant blend of
old-fashioned rock and feel-good music
and there’s nothing quite like hearing
that many people come together in song
