ah
every year the Super Bowl attracts a
global audience and these artists could
help expand the reach even further
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down our picks for the top
ten artists who should play the Super
Bowl halftime show before we begin we
publish new videos every day
so be sure to subscribe for more great
content for this list we’ve selected a
group of artists that have the talent
creativity and reach to command a Super
Bowl stage number 10 Foo Fighters
led by the incomparable dave grohl this
collective evolved from one of rock
music’s most influential bands over the
years Foo Fighters have built a
reputation for their unforgettable live
show and given their playful
personalities they’re an ideal choice to
keep millions upon millions of superbowl
viewers entertained Foo Fighters
halftime show would be explosive
literally and figuratively and it would
most definitely be loud these guys are
true professionals but not so much that
they can’t loosen up and just let it rip
with the right amount of preparation Foo
Fighters could produce a timeless Super
Bowl performance
[Music]
oh boy laughs yeah
number nine Bon Jovi it’s my
[Music]
while some younger mojo holics maybe
slightly unfamiliar with this legendary
rock band chances are you can identify
at least one of their songs sure Bon
Jovi is more of a throwback selection
and Richie Sambora has left the group
but they’re a reliable act given their
continuing success on the road here
simply pure rock stars through and
through in fact Bon Jovi has so many
hits that a chopped-up medley would
probably be necessary but their pop
culture anthems would undoubtedly please
the 30 and older demographic the please
younger Super Bowl he words well Bon
Jovi would likely need a special guest
to maintain a millennial connection but
you can bet that plenty of stars would
immediately offer up their services
[Music]
number eight the weekend not long ago
the artist was known more for his sharp
haircut rather than his vast collection
of pop bangers
yet the weekend suddenly became a pop
superstar as he slowly but surely
dominated the charts before dropping
star boy in 2016
[Music]
in other words the weekend has rapidly
evolved from an RnB name into a global
star in 2016
she dated Bella Hadid an emerging
supermodel and the sister of supermodel
Gigi Hadid so the weekend has more than
a few connections beyond the realm of
music is a logical choice for the
Superbowl halftime show and his
popularity will only increase in the
future but always number 7 maroon 5
regardless of whether you enjoy the
spent music or not you can’t deny their
influence on pop culture maroon 5 is one
of those bands people claim to hate if
they still think she will be loved in
private consider this Adam Levine van
continues to sell millions of records
and his own personal brand and further
expanded as one of the original judges
on the voice haha
so there’s a certain charm to room 5
that makes for a feel-good Superbowl
halftime show
plus a demand company always deliver the
goods on stage and have the musical
capabilities to cover songs across
various genres of music
[Music]
number 6 Nicki Minaj before you take out
your pitchfork we do acknowledge the
wild card factor of Nicki Minaj some of
you may even call it the WTF factor we
get it but Nicki his boisterous colorful
and loud and she knows how to pump out
the hit yeah her unpredictable
personality could be problematic but
there’s a way around that especially if
Super Bowl producers could keep her
focus more on performing than
trash-talking this halftime show may not
please everybody
of course what act does but Nicki would
surely keep it 100 with her bubbly alter
ego and wild performance style she may
not be the most logical choice but she’s
certainly in the conversation
[Applause]
number five Carrie Underwood raised in
the American heartland this country
superstar won the fourth installment of
American Idol she’s kind of a big deal
[Music]
but aside from her fame and success as a
crossover artist Carrie as well-versed
in hosting award shows which only
increases her value she’s got the vocal
chops to keep millions of viewers
engaged and her endearing personality
makes her truly enjoyable to watch as
well incidentally her vocal range allows
her to work outside the country genre so
she’s the ideal duet partner for both
younger and older musicians just her
name alone makes her a bankable choice
and she’s a legit superstar that can
handle the pressure no good for you you
better guess again on you good bye
number four pink
[Applause]
believe it or not this woman has been an
integral part of pop culture for the
entire 21st century in addition Pink’s
record sales continue to increase to
she’s not always trending so to speak
but she’s always relevant in one form or
another and her epic live show is make
her an ideal candidate for the Superbowl
halftime show
some acts have that warm and bubbly
appeal and while pink is certainly
relatable she’s got a bit more edge than
most female pop star more importantly
she’s authentic and passionate about the
scope of her production she is a crowd
pleaser and one of the more undervalued
American artists of her time number
three Rihanna in terms of global appeal
there is probably no other artists time
layer than Rihanna
yeah she’s got the sex appeal and that
is important for a Superbowl halftime
show but she’s got the talent to
complement her cultural persona
she’s perhaps the most relevant female
pop star of her time on par with beyonce
and her ability to command a stage you
really can’t go wrong with Rihanna and
her connections within the music
industry would probably lead to one of
the more entertaining Superbowl halftime
shows as well
while you wait to work for number two
with Kendrick Lamar
you kinda flower with so Trapster
skipper would say giving change textures
made you plead the fifth if there’s one
artist that could take Super Bowl
halftime shows in a new direction it
would be this lyrical wizard
Kendrick Lamar is not only supremely
gifted but he understands the importance
of connecting with his audience more can
I do this I think about me retaliation
is shown to betray found me kill my
homeboy in gas ranch at night he flies
under the radar of it as he’s not keen
on being a celebrity and if given the
chance he would undoubtedly orchestrate
a show that would transcend the usual
shtick he’s both a lyrical and visual
artist and there’s a high ceiling given
his creativity and ability to inspire
you could smell it went amuck in
dentistry kendrick lamar may not yet be
able to change the world but he could
most definitely change the structure and
purpose of Super Bowl halftime show so
digging him up in a rocket and disease
every day my lad to get under that is to
keep you in the present so you take off
before we unveil our number one pick
here are a few honorable mentions
[Music]
number one Daft Punk
bridging the gap between older and
younger demographics this French group
has a true global appeal
more popular than ever Daft Punk has
worked with a variety of current pop
stars and the commercial success of
their 2013 album makes them easily
identifiable in both style and musical
substance adapt honk Super Bowl halftime
show could go a number of ways but you
could probably expect a few surprises
along with some show-stopping renditions
of the most popular collaboration their
sound is reversal and they’re more than
capable of outshining the event itself
