The Super Bowl Halftime Show is known as the biggest spectacle on Earth and for good reason given the 100 million+ eyes that are annually glued to TV screens in its anticipation.
Compounded with the opportunity to be etched in history is the highly coveted slot’s boosts in its performers’ sales, streams, recognition, and – for some – accolades (see: Emmy nominations).
Amid ongoing criticism of the NFL’s response to complaints of its treatment of players of color (as well as slow response to the issue of racial injustice at large), the league’s tapped Jesse Collins – courtesy of Roc Nation – to serve as the extravaganza’s first African American executive producer.
With the spotlight brighter than ever for Collins and the show to deliver next year, who among today’s crop of top acts is deserving to become immortalized by joining an exclusive list that includes the likes of Michael Jackson, Madonna, Prince, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, & more?
Look inside to tell us:

Janet (tho I don’t think she would do it) or Ari those two 🔥💯
Beyonce
Lol all these power bottoms want Janet
Without any doubt it should be Camila Cabello!
She’s young, have the hits, it’s on top of her career, surely will have some Grammy nominations these year, she is a strong singer, has stage presence and it’s a hot dancer!
And before some of you start saying she doesn’t have enough material or career years she can share the spotlight with her hunky boyfriend Shawn Mendes 🤤
Ariana would be a nice choice as well but I think she should have done it when she was in her Thank U Next fase..
It would be Pink or Janet for me.
Oh really? U pervert u wanna see janet’s ni-pples shield again? 😂🤣😂🤣
The appearance of a Woman’s nipple makes someone a pervert.??
That’s so 1950’s of you!!
I’m certain they’ll go for Taylor Swift because America is fed up of Black people and blacklives. #whatashame.
I hope Rihanna gets it.
Oh hunny that skinny basic white gurl can’t handle super bowl, female Maroon 5 💁🏿♀️💁🏿♀️💁🏿♀️💁🏿♀️
It should be Rihanna but I doubt she’ll do it, my next vote would be Ariana or drake
Whoever performs needs to scale it down too…cause the explosions, 500 dancers and cooochiie popping/peeen popping, falling from the sky, mean mugging and whatnot is played ALL the way out 🤣 Whoever performs should do something more intimate and original! 💯
I disagree, halftimes the time to go all out, explosions, 500 dancers…its halftime not a cafe stop.
I agree but whoever does they they will drag for being boring
I feel janets not interested. So I’ll say rih or drake. They have the hits to keep me entertained at least
I wonder, but it could be a good launching platform for her reschedule of the Black Diamond Tour.
And album.., That’d be epic
Rihana is such a bad Peformer people just hype her because she has a strong personality but she is a bad Peformer
Her songs are good also
She has the best music catalogue
Almost all her songs are hits.
She’s a not a strong performer .
Beyonce is a strong performer but her music catalogue is whack
Most of her songs people dont even know them when she’s performing it.
If beyonce had Rihanna’s music catalogue, she would be unstoppable
You said it all. But actually rihanna will never have any stage abilities. Stick to lingerie.
Y’all love claiming Beyonce catalog ain’t good yet Apple Music just listed her as the 4th most listened to female artist of all time. 4 of her albums have reached over a billion streams on Spotify. Crazy in love/Lemonade is rolling stones song of the century/greatest female album of the century. So somebodies listening?!?
People streaming your music does not mean that it’s great. Beyoncé is just extremely popular.
JANET
Taylor Swift isn’t exactly a “performer” as such, but she has a huge catalog of hits and I’m sure she’d be able to put on some kind of spectacle to make up for her lack of being able to dance.
Anyone saying Janet, I don’t think she would and I don’t think she should after the way they treated her.
😂🤣😂 imagine if janet will be performing with JT again. Janet will rip off his jockstrap This time 😂🤣😂 payback time
None of these people are good performers except Janet. And Pink. Maybe Usher. I don’t know how many people would be excited to see him though. Honestly, It probably depends on how the election turns out whether anybody will care about this or not.
Janet, is the only name worthy of Super Bowl performance status On this list. Next, I’d say PInk or Usher, but I question they can put on a very High energy performance as it requires. Rihanna, Taylor, Miley and Drake have the Hits, but lack stage presence, and aren’t real entertainers.
Taylor lacking stage presence? Lol
I don’t think so
Nobody! We still on strike!
Did we forgotten?
“Until Colin rap again, we ain’t Happenin'”
If we can’t have Janet or Usher, just bring bring Beyoncé or Bruno back! The rest of this bunch is a strong hell no! The industry is dead if your list is any indication. We really are missing PERFORMERS in this generation, there’s only a few.
After Beyoncé nobody really can compare or compete Rihanna doesn’t have the stamina. Usher possibly, if this is the list then chile…… The best are truly gone
Shakira and jlo halftime show was more entertaining than beyonce’s
I really don’t understand how people don’t understand the Queen that is Janet. That Super Bowl stage is so far beneath her. Unless the NFL apologizes, Justin apologizes, Les Moonves apologizes and they offer her an astronomical figure to perform. But Janet has too much class and now that JLO has touched that stage it’s even cheaper. Usher is a logical choice with his residency coming up and he has the hits as well as the “playsafe” performance they would want. Also Jay Z is in charge of halftime so I’m sure it will be someone he can pull on stage (not Janet). Also Rihanna stated in last years vogue that she would not perform to be in solidarity with Colin Kaepernick so if she did I don’t think that would be a good look.
Stfu clown
Well i said what i needed to say ugly f***.
And as if you had any value. “Yesterday’s deconstructions are often tomorrow’s orthodox cliches.” lol lol

Pink sings live and anyone who’s been to her tours knows she puts on the craziest shows. She’s underrated in the US and she would give Americans a little reminder.
I know ya’ll aint got Alicia Keys on this list..
But if Justin Timberlake can do the Supwrbowl then let Usher bring the house down.
But I also wouldn’t mind Pink. And even something a little different like BTS.
I’ve seen some clips of their performances and those boys can get down.
Jason Derulo????? 😂😂😂
Janet would shut it down. P!nk would put an indelible show. RiRi a close 3rd. Kendrick alas would need a white feature (nothing like Adam m*****-dancing next to Big Boi, tho). Ariana’s songs are too schmaltzy for Superbowl. Usher shoulda headlined in 05 during Confessions. The rest? Nice gowns, beautiful gowns.
You pathetic!
The nice gowns beautiful gowns is the current music industry and winning in this poll 🤣
Taylor Swift for me as well! She is a good looking singer with good hits after hits! And she’s also safe for American middle class
It’s Usher, baby!
I just wanna know who the heck said the weekend? Are you serious?
Pink!!!! 💋💋💋 just like my WAP color💅🏿💅🏿💅🏿
KENDRICK OR JANET
Missy Elliott, or P!nk
Lets just have drake and be done with it..
Hopefully, Janet will STAY AS FAR AWAY from the SuperBowl as possible!!! Jason Derulo can have it, LOL…
WHAT is Jason Derulo’s face doing in this article? Lol please… I’d vote for Janet but this was The Weekend’s year again. It’s only right that he headlines super bowl 2021
SCREAMING 😂😂!!! I was wondering the same thing! 🤦🏼♂️
Janet or Ariana
I think Monica should headline. Verzuz proved her abilities.
Except..MOOniggàs Kermit vocals wouldn’t be soothing to the ear, if anything they should’ve considered The girl who’s shadow she’s been in since the 90’s alaa Brandy..
Lmao Monica WHO?
You must be referring to Monica Lewinsky because Goonica Denise can barely book the House of Blues.
I’m surprised you guys didn’t mention the vocal bible 😂 🤦🏽♂️ smh
lil wayne
lil wayne
I would prefer usher to perform half-time at the Superbowl. Because he has a Vegas show coming up and a huge catalog of music. It just makes more sense for him to perform at the Superbowl.
Lil Wayne would be able to bring out so many special guest
Where’s camilas nomination??😂😂 tht ugly flop can’t even get a nomination off sum ghetto ass bloggggCRYYYING🤣🤣
BREAKING NEWS: even with all of that promo and that video, Lady GaGa’s “911” failed to chart on the billboard hot 100 😂 Why no article on Thai TGJ?! Gaga is a FLOP without Ariana!
But Gaga booked the halftime show though. Will WAP ever be performed anywhere within the same solar system as ANY Gaga song?
Taylor swift
Janet wouldn’t do it BUT imagine a rhythm nation centric half time show? She’d end C****.
Taylors album is back at number 1!
Congrats Taylor for winning🔥❤️😍🎉
Go Taylor Swift the Queen👑 ❤️😍
Taylor Swift the most popular singer and artist currently 😍❤️😇👑
Usher & Bieber.
THE TIME IS RIGHT
