The half time show isn't for the NFL fans.

I dont think the half time show is for anybody really watching the game period.  some pretty lame shit over the years.

Couldn't tell you any halftime performer in the last 10 years.  Other than Janet Jackson, not that I was watching that one either, but at least people remembered it.

I thought last year's with Dr. Dre and the gang was cool. She's not someone I listen to much but hopefully Rihanna's set will be fun too.

It wasnt the worst they have done,  there were parts there a little WTF,  but I am pretty sure that would be said even if they could get Elvis and Prince to come back from the dead to team up with the Beatles and Metallica,  they will never likely find a fits all.

Outside of Metallica and AC/DC this is a list of has beens, broken up bands and dead people . Ozzie just did the kickoff show and people cried because he is "anti America". Axl Rose is an absolute shell of himself vocally. Not sure if anyone has told the person who originally posted this but Freddie Mercury has been dead for 31 years. And for the love of God a certain group of fans heads would explode if Queen with Adam Lambert did the half time show.  As much as I loved Twisted Sister and Quiet Riot 30 years ago they arent the draw the artists they have been bringing in the last several years. Like it or not the halftime show is about bringing in the casual viewer for the sake of pumping up what they can charge for ads going into/out of halftime. Not too mention product placement during the performance.

Although I may watch this year, Rhianna is fine as hell. Dont know that I've ever heard her sing but she's damn easy on the eyes.

I always thought it would be cool if the NFL invited regional acts to perform at halftime.

SB in New Orleans? bring in a local zydeco band.
SB in Houston? bring in a local C/W band

True, 95% of the fans wouldn't know who the bands are, but think of the exposure these bands get by performing at halftime.

Best selling bands is so 90s, 2000s.

Now it's about streams and views.  Those are the metrics/data points involved.

Rhianna is a good choice as she's a good performer, singer, worldwide appeal, and a gorgeous human being

If you don’t like the half time shows (I could really care less) You aren’t the target audience. And (supposedly) they are targeting an audience to grow the fanbase. I can turn on my own music.
