They then take a bold finish before Timberlake perplexingly (and confidently) rips one of Jackson’s bra cups off, revealing a naked breast. Justin Timberlake joined her half-way through to belt out Rock Your Body and then they danced around together a la Sandy and Danny Zuko. Will we ever know if Janet Jackson’s nip-slip was, in fact, a malfunction? In 2004 she took to the Super Bowl stage and bashed out hits like Rhythm Nation which, damn it, still makes for compelling viewing now. That time Janet jackson flashed a nip and invented the infamous “wardrobe malfunction” Martin’s performance looked more like a third wheel, or a rogue roadie that jumped on stage, or a competition winner. Uptown Funk, the show culminated in the three of them on stage together singing a Coldplay number. To this day no one is sure why this occurred, however, after killer performances from Bey and Mr. Coldplay was billed first and Beyonce and Bruno joined them.

I’m sure die-hard NFL fans recall each grand final according to the best touchdowns, however many of us across the pond instead don’t follow the season and instead remember them for their musical showdowns. In fact, between this and the apparent $5 million price tag on 30-second ads during the game, the actual football is only part of the reason the first Sunday in February has now become a worldwide-watched event. The hype around the Super Bowl half-time show is real. I saw a meme recently that said “Wouldn’t it be funny if half way through a music concert there was a break for a mini football game?” So true. Singer Beyonce performs during the Pepsi Super Bowl XLVII Halftime Show at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on Februin New Orleans, Louisiana.
