Halftime Show From Massive Entertainment To The Claim Of Social Causes

When Michael Jackson starred in the 1993 Super Bowl halftime musical show, everything changed He banished the idea that the 15-minute intermission could only be used to order pizza, go to the bathroom or a cold beer, prepare hamburgers or stretch your legs.

The performance offered by the King of Pop in that 27th edition was described as "the most memorable" and "unbeatable" Sure, before there were attempts at halftime entertainment at the biggest game in American sports, like the performance of the New Kids on the Block boyband in 1991, when NFL organizers realized they could incorporate the spectacle.

to the game and put an end to the monotonous presentations of the batoneras, gymnastic tables of cheerleaders, marching bands and bland Elvis Presley-type impersonators, with whom they had been dressing up the 15-minute break The Super Bowl halftime show is the best stage for any musician, because some 200 million NFL fan viewers around the world are watching.

That is why it has also been used for political demonstrations and demands Without any debate, the intermission in the recent history of the most scandalous Super Bowls was the one starring Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake in 2004, when in the twilight of the performance, with dozens of cameras capturing all the movements that the couple made on Onstage, the young ex-N'Sync member Timberlake ripped a piece of Janet's outfit, exposing her right breast, sparking one of the global scandals in contemporary pop culture.

The 90s had another unforgettable gala starring Diana Ross in 1996, who descended from a huge crane, she was discussed with a medley of songs supported by The Supremes, to the sound of dozens of dancers who moved to the beat that she set for them, He drove the attendees to the brink of madness How can we forget the millennium inauguration when the 2000 game lined up a luxury lineup headed by Phil Collins, Christina Aguilera, Tina Turner, Enrique Iglesias and Toni Braxton.

But the troupe did not do chemistry and it was very boring The most disastrous presentation in which everyone agrees was the one offered by The Black Eyed Peas and Slash, ex-Guns N' Roses guitarist.

What preluded a huge halftime show that 2011 got out of hand We explain: The Black Eyed Peas at that time enjoyed overwhelming success, but not even the sidereal costumes could save them from that version of I've Had the Time of My Life, like the movie Hot Dance, which made you want to hit an ice pick at each one of the ears… and the eyes.

Other nonsense that has been made in the name of the right to frivolity was the presentation of the British The Who in 2010, since two of its founding members, Peter Townshend and Roger Daltrey, did not know what an American football game was because they never they had seen a game One of the shows that did turn out to be high octane happened in 2003, when the proven quality of Sting, a Shania Twain at the top of his career and No Doubt at its point of sonic maturation, They met to liven up the match between the Buccaneers and the Raiders.

For his part, in 2005 ex-beatle Paul McCartney dusted off his bass so that, with a list of songs of proven success, he performed classics from the Beatlemaniac repertoire and put his own and strangers in his pocket A year later, the NFL hired other Englishmen.

The Rolling Stones were in charge of entertaining the 50th edition of the Super Bowl and with three songs they took over the stage Mick Jagger ran left to right and right to left to rock hard as only his Satanic Majesties can.

One of the exhibitions that lasts in the memory was the one offered by Beyoncé, she was at the peak of her career in that 2013, in an impressive creative way and what she did was of te-lu-r-ic dimensions when, for hologram Medium, a universe of Beyoncés appeared to populate the Earth, while they sounded: Crazy love, Independent woman and Baby boy, crowned with the brief meeting with her sisters Destiny's Child Others who have covered themselves with glory and/or gone down to hell in the famous intermission of the Super Bowls are U2, in 2002, and which was the first post-attack show on the Twin Towers in New York.

Nor should we forget the one offered by Prince, in 2007, who fully complied with what a musician and showman should be; as well as the call made by Bruce Springsteen, in 2009, who encouraged the public to keep a healthy distance from snacks and to blast the speakers on the screens We cannot fail to mention the duel of divas starring Jennifer Lopez and Shakira, without forgetting Eminem and Snoop Dogg, among other artists, who vindicated the street culture of African-Americans, in the midst of protests over police abuse against that community.

For today's Super Sunday, the singer Rihanna promised to vindicate migrant, African and Barbadian women, in addition to offering the best of her repertoire .
