11 Reasons Why Michael Jackson’s Super Bowl Halftime Show Was The Best

Before Michael Jackson, Super Bowl halftime shows only had marching bands and stuff and they were super lame. He single-handedly made halftime better for you and for me and the entire human race.

I know, right? Now tell your friends!

      Michael Jackson will never go away. Here he is again, in an article about the 1993 Super Bowl half-time show. He set the bar so high, in so many areas. Everything he did was superlative, but above that, from a beautiful heart. The greatest entertainer and humanitarian. Gone way too soon.

      As a person or the perception of him i didn’t know what to think but he was the best dancer i’ve ever seen,had my favourite voice of any artist and some of his videos especially Thriller put music and dance onto another plane.

      MJ is truly one of the greats….But as much as I loved his performance at the SB as a kid, it wasn’t the best halftime show or his best…Too much lip-synching….

      I am a huge MJ fan, but I actually thought this performance was very overrated. He’s done better.

      You forgot the participation of the entire audience holding up their coloured cards to produce children of all races!!! Prince was better my ass! This is and always will be THE BEST because it send a message to the world!

      • keithm18 3 months ago

        On the real, MJ is that dude…But kids having signs in their hands have nothing to do with the actual performance. I look at the actual performance. If I was a kid something like that would impress me. But knowing how talented MJ was, the lip-synching wasn’t a good look. I think Prince is the bar for those Super Bowl performances…Dude actually sung live, had a marching band, and played “Purple Rain” IN THE RAIN…lol….

      Honestly I’d much rather see a marching band than either a pop star that appeals to the middle of america or an aging musician you can claim only used to be great. I’d kill to see ohio state’s marching band given a huge budget to create a halftime show. They can play pop songs, but they do it with instruments and musicianship.  Or imagine if you made the superbowl halftime show into a competition between maybe the top three college marching bands. That would be phenomenal. Then maybe it’d encourage starry eyed youths to become interested in music. The counter to looking back and saying okay MJ did a good show, is since then we have to deal with the black eyed peas and kid rock. As it is the superbowl halftime show is currently only a good time to flip over to the puppy bowl go make some drinks and food, and wait for the game to come back on. If they put up a marching band I wouldn’t change the channel.

      Seriously, I don’t know if there will ever be a better halftime show than this one.

      I remember seeing this when I was 8 years. It was the greatest damn thing ever for a kid to behold.
