Adele has decided not to perform at next year’s Super Bowl Halftime show.
The performer was linked to the performance slot days ago but has now revealed that she turned down the offer shortly after it was presented to her.
First of all, I’m not doing the Super Bowl. I mean, come on, that show is not about music. And I don’t really… I can’t dance or anything like that. They were very kind, they did ask me, but I did say no. I’m sorry. Maybe next time, for my next album, because I’m going to do a dance album next time. So maybe I’ll do it then.
She shared the above with fans in Los Angeles during the latest showing of her latest concert tour after learning that news of her link to the show had surfaced.
ISNSHSUAHAHUSBSXIBSKAIWBQ ?????!!! Like I said before ADELE will not affiliate her name with anything that isn’t about the MUSIC! Her earnings are entirely from her Tours, Albums and Singles! ?????
And Glastonbury.
Yes music festivals as well.
Exactly, she wouldn’t do that puma s***… If you see what i mean.
simply because she can’t do it. if rih was asked she would slay the stage like queen b did!
My comment had nothing to do with commanding a stage. Bottom line is Adele has always been about the music which is why she doesn’t do all these puma, dior, pepsi, vezio deals like out favs.
i honnestly am tired of this tired comparision between rih and bee. respect them please. when say my name was out the world was marvelled by the bee sensation but couldn’t enjoy it fully til her solo moves. when pon de replay was out we danced our shitout like neva! so just enjoy them just youo would enjoy michael and usher…
keep calm and speak english!
She’s not thirsty like Bey
Amen.
She’s QUEEN ??
Please don’t suck her ass, it’s wayyy too easy. She acts like performing at the Super Bowl is beneath her when she’ll be performing on it in a few years. Sounds like to me she’s salty that despite her sells number, her music doesn’t qualify for the SUPERBOWL. “I’ll be making a dance album.” Ok? Like that’s nice to know
That s**t would have been dry AF ?
It wouldn’t had been dry AF! Adele isn’t the kind of artist who’s going to do whatever just because shes getting paid.
But YASSSS at that Dance Album if she wasn’t lying!!!! Can’t wait to hear it!!!
Adele about to be a Disco Diva…her “I Will Survive” is coming chile lol
Oh the shade…lol I love Adele!!!
What shade? You bítches think everything is shady.
Why was she offered the opportunity?…But then again, she could’ve put on a classy show with smoke & light effects, a couple background dancers… maybe she could’ve flew around the stadium or …no, just no. She did the right thing.
Why am I dying at the thought of Adele flying around the stage ? Thank god she declined though, would have been so boring
If they ask rih i hope she turns then down as well Katy Perry did the show with sharks the only part that was good about that show was missy elliot and the halftime show as become a farce adele was smart she knows that her music would not fit right now they should ask a country band
Thank you Adele from saving us from boring, flat/crackling vocal performance! Jennifer Lopez would be my #1 pick but between Vegas, Shades of Blue, and her new HBO gig that woman is Booked! Rihanna or Lady Gaga would be great choices to!
Ehhh…no! Neither are worthy!!! Bring on Usher or Pink
J-Lo? She can’t even sing!
@Jamie. I agree with the idea of getting Pink. Her “Truth About Love” tour was phenomenal, and she’s got plenty of great music to deliver.
I need Usher or J. Lo!!!!!!!!!
would have been BORING ..please call Rihanna or Gaga!
I rather see J.Lo. There is only so much that standing there and singing could do for me. The only person I probably could watch all day standing still and singing is Whitney Houston.
Thank you! J.lo is pushing 50 and can move like no other and would make all 12 minutes of her halftime show count.
After saying the Superbowl is not about music, why would she ever come back and consider their offer in the future?
Gurl, sort that picture owt! Adele WISHES her face was that slim! I can’T!!!!
This lady is smart and she knows she´s not the right fit for that. Or maybe she has learned that she ussually ends being flat when on a too important stage. Seeing how people expect this show to be right now the best options I can see are Pink or Lady Gaga talent wise. Are you guys telling me usher has never done it? Then he could be, but he´ so not mainstream right now, I don´t know, I doubt they would offer him right now.
JLo could put on a show even though she has zero talent for music 🙂
Although I have to say I appreciated @s****** blonde´s idea of making a change and doing this sifferent, not always about the spectacle (meaning having Adele, Celine and the likes… and why not, Mariah? She´s the one with the most hits among the middle aged artists and she´s “hungry” right now, she is doing all types of right moves). I know it won´t happen though cause nowadays ageism is worse than ever in the industry.
She said everything I would have said. That spot is for a SHOW. She should definitely sing the national anthem, even tho she’s British, but who cares.
.
This is Rihanna’s spot. She has the hits under her belt, she’s the most popular pop star in the world, and bringing out Drake would be a great guest.
Can’t lie Rihanna would be dope ??
LMAO at most popular pop star!! That’s a stretch.
Jlo could perform. Others people music tho. Her new songs aren’t hits and her old songs aren’t memorable or classic.
Like you that girl. You not fab like, you not fab like that to be doing all of that. Learn yo place earn yo spot.
Im for a Rih, or P!nk show! However after all of that drama with the NFL and Rih last year does anyone actually think they would ask her? A really good collab of different genres would be amazing.
For the suerbowl, I think it’s time for a rapper! My number one choice would be Kanye West. He knows how to MURDER a stage; plus he has a multitude of mainstream hits. In terms of Rihanna, I don’t think it’s specifically her time yet. I would like for her to perform in another 5 years or so.
Kanye will never be put in front of mainstream America TV. It’s Rihanna’s time. The very least they may just mix it up like last year. I read that they’re doing that direction to cater to America as a whole.
Kanye may be the ass of every joke in mainstream America, but there’s no denying that the kids love him. Plus he would garner a much wider audience over the likes of JLO or Gaga, so when it comes to dollars and cents Mr. West does make sense. When it comes to Rihanna, I would like her to wait. I believe that she has some more smash hits under her belt. I think the superbowl is something you do once your career is waning like when MJ performed, Prince, Madonna, Beyonce and now Katy.
She has over 36 top 40s to choose from. How much time does she needs? She have the uptempos, but ballads, every genre there is in music in her catalog.
.
As for Kanye. Kids like him, but Adults don’t. The SB is for the American family. I don’t seen them having ANY of Kanye stunts on Network TV. Vma? Sure, I BET? Yep, but Network TV? Not a chance in hell.
How is it not Rih’s time? And MJ nor Bey’s careers were waning when they performed. Bey performed 10 months before she released the biggest album of 2013.
JT 20/20 was the biggest album of 2013. 🙂
halftime show was supposed to be entertaining = jennifer lopez or beyoncé
What is J. LO going to perform? Her music holds no water.
So what, JLo has enough tor 15 mins of entertainment. Besides, Rihanna can’t sing NOR dance, so if it were down to JLO or Rihanna performing, no one in their right mind would choose the latter.
Rihanna is a better artist and puts on better shows than J.Ho. J.Ho doesn’t have not ONE iconic performance. She’s only on B-list award shows, B-list songs, B-list tours and to be honsest, B-list forgotten hits. I really can’t name 5 BIG j>lo hits, MAYBE I’m Real and that’s way back in 2001. Riahnna is a pop STAR, you know her hits, you know HER. The only thing comes to MY mind with J.Lo is red carpets, yes she’s everywhere, but what is the only thing she’s GREAT at? Other than know when to hop on and off the right D at the moment?
LOL Boy go to sleep lol Your fav is worst performer in music history. I Can’t With you Rihanna fans, I mean you all are definitely good for a gut laugh, the same way your fav is on the stage lol. Enjoy your night boo.
The last I checked you were in my reply section, but ok. Die hater. 🙂
LOL Did I hurt your feelings sweetheart. Come on, you should be used to laughs, I mean you are a Rihanna fan after all lol.
Um, you are doing way too much. People rag on J.Lo’s voice (rightfully so, tbh) but that bish can put on a SHOW! You know, such a concept is quite new to Rihanna and her fans seeing as she she just got the hang of performing like she actually WANTS to be on stage two/three years ago. I mean, this is someone who is a decade deep into her career so just let that sink in. What good are all those hits she has when she can’t bring them to life by way of performance ability? J.Lo has the hits, charisma and SHOWMANSHIP that’ll provide for a great Superbowl Halftime show. You act like Waiting For Tonight, Let’s Get Loud, Jenny From The Block, Get Right and On The Floor don’t exist.
We’re forgetting all about Taylor Swift. It’s either her or Rihanna. I don’t see anyone as of late having the catalog of hits and the range of songs to do it. If it’s not Rihanna then I won’t be watching.
Then go make plans to watch psomething else because she won’t be chosen!
You must not know how TV works. Beyonce may have less than a million viewers and a record breaking dip everytime she touches the SB stage, and but the NFL and CBS (or who ever going to air it) wants as many viewers as possible. Go away. #808 #LessThanARerun #LowestHBOConcertToDate
Smart decision. Media outlets and the general public were already dragging her ass about how dead the show would be. She has nothing to gain from it as she’s already a mega seller in her peak. I think Lady Gaga needs it to save her career tho, same way Beyoncé used it to save her career.
And perform the lil 7 EDM hits from 2009-2011 that she has?
Pretty much, along with debuting new music and sharing the stage with someone else. If Katy did it then so can she.
I would say Britney, but the VMAs is big enough for her.
I see you lol! Part of me doesn’t want her to do it because I know the general puplic will tear her apart but it might add new life to her career.
We need a rock band to headline next year’s Super Bowl. Blink 182, RHCP or even Greenday
We already had a boring band, Coldplay. Next!
Yes!! The super bowl is in need of a rock act to headline the half-time show. Im kinda tired of these pop act’s headlining. Green Day would be a great choice imo.
Three bands wayy past their creative and commercial peak? RHCP’s last album flopped, blink don’t even have their original lead singer even though California sold well in today’s standards, and Green Day? lol
They need to let newer bands play. I could see Arctic Monkeys playing if their next two albums do as well or better stateside as AM, which was a global smash.
Good for Adele.She doesn’t need it – she’s the biggest selling artist in the world right now!And as she said the show is never about the music,it’s all for publicity and with her sales numbers it’s not needed!!
I’m not here for Rihanna with her goat vocals, her pus#¥ patting and jumping around on stage lol, nor i’m I here for StiffKnee with her helium vocals and dead moves. I say Usher, JLo, Pink, or Lady Gaga.
I’m sure Rih still wouldn’t do it next year because CBS doesn’t wanna give her the pay she’s asking for it, so we’ll have to just hope for both parties to come to an agreement soon.
I really appreciate how honest and true she is to her music. She would’ve pulled it off. I remember her saying she would never play Glastonbury but she headlined this year and her set was the most acclaimed this year and people are saying it was one of the best ever.
I really could see Rihanna headlining next year. It would probably be a mess but she has the hits.
I would choose:
Rihanna- she’s not my favorite and this era has been like her worst and eye opening era, she definitely has tried to get her s*** together and she has definitely made great attempts. Her performance of 45Seconds and Love On The Brain have been her best since her beginning literally. Basically the b**** is popular and it might most likely be her ass.
Ciara – ppl can say what the hell they want but this is a performance NOT a chart, therefore Ciara will kill every b**** on a grand stage instead of these theaters she’s been playing. She had a list of diverse hits to choose from as so Rihanna. And since she’s working on a new album, this would be a great chance to premier a new single/buzz track, like Beyonce should’ve did with “Grown Woman”.
Usher- he’s the only dude right now that I can say would shut that s*** DOWN. Bruno already performed 2 and killed it. Chris Brown is own a much needed break that needs to last till 4th quarter 2017! Trey Songz is just not big enough. Jason is not even an option, AT ALL.
Drake- as much as I think Drake sucks, ppl of all races love his weak ass at the moment and Take Care ALONE could kill the show. He’s not that great of a performer but he has songs that feel good (Listening to NWTS now.)
Pink- She’s very artist but not artist at the same time. I think something this big could push her to a place we haven’t seen before!
If all else fails, they’ll probably get a bunch of different artists to contribute.
Ki! I commend her for her honesty. She’s not promotion hungry like the other boring repetitive rat. Kudos Adele!! Slaying with minimal promotion. While someone is touring, racking up inflated coin, but can’t seem to keep her album nor singles afloat. Just give it to Rih! They trying so hard to hold out lol. The numbers will be epic.
If only Coldplay had the same integrity. We could have been spared their mediocre music and the boring rerun of artists of previous years having to climb on the stage again.
Keep it real Adele.
Usher or keep it.
I think P!nk would be an awesome choice. She has hits, can sing and can cut a choreographed 8 count. You know she’ll be flying all over everywhere. Rhi Rhi would be good as well, also J.Lo. If focused, Britney Jean has the catalog for a full show without sharing the stage with anyone like she did in the past at the Super Bowl where she performed. They also could let Missy finish what she started with Katy Perry. Adele is a great artist, but bland for the Super Bowl.
None of these bítches will hold a light to Bey’s performance.
Good and for sure they will have someone else to performance there next year in 2017
Both “RHCP” & “B-182”, both have great albums out. And they both had great sales, especially for not having hit singles. Wtf are you saying….
Good choice, Give us a HOT Dance album first, and then revisit this opportunity!
Stop playing and just give it to Rihanna, they know it is the right decision as much as it pains them to do it.
‘
She has the hits and popularity.
“The NFL and Pepsi are big fans of Adele. We have had conversations with several artists about the Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show. However, we have not at this point extended a formal offer to Adele or anyone else. We are focused on putting together a fantastic show for Houston and we look forward to revealing that in good time.”
.
LMFAOOO MESS!!! The NFL is so petty! They couldn’t handle being turned down ???!!!
Ain’t nobody got time to see a fat whale boring the s*** outta us on stage…leave that to Mooriah
jlo please
This is understandable so people arent half time show performers. I love Alicia keys but she will never headline a superbowl half time.
