Worst Half Time Performance Ever?
It’s strange. The Super Bowl has an audience of 95 million (mostly) males of various ages, and yet the organizers behind the yearly most-watched television event cannot understand what type of musical performance best fits the venue.
Case in point: yesterday’s laughable Paula Abdul “performance.”
What guy wants to watch Paula Abdul gyrate on a stage and LIP SYNCH to FOREVER YOUR GIRL??? Or, even worse, that new song she prominently displayed, a dance number without a danceable beat or hummable hook??
I thought it was possibly the limpest thing I had ever seen as a halftime performance, although it may not be the worst overall. That honor might go to one of the following:
The inexplicable 2001 pairing of Aerosmith, N’Sync, Britney Spears, and some rappers:
The misguided 2004 Janet Jackson/Justin Timberlake wardrobe malfunction that exposed Janet’s watery, flaccid, 40-year old tit:
What do you think?

What was this from?
Tom Petty was the halftime at the Super Bowl I watched yesterday. I never saw Paula Abdul.
Apparently they pre-recorded this abortion for the show. You didn’t see it on there??
No. Although I missed the pre and post game. I just watched from kickoff to the end.
It was part of the pre-game.
Yeah, it sucked. As did the idiotic red carpet idiocy.
I saw no Paula Abdul.
I think its weird seeing a bunch of kids rush the stage for Tom Petty. Do they even know who they’re running to see?
A guy in a local paper suggested we just show marching bands at half time. Not a half-bad idea. I would much rather watch 15 minutes of a kick ass drum line than this stuff any day.
