NEW ORLEANS (NEXSTAR) — As a group of five people what the best Super Bowl halftime show of all-time is, and you’re likely to get five different answers. The biggest event in American sports also plays host to some of the best musical performances you’ll ever see.
So who to turn to for the answers on which show is the absolutely best? We enlisted some help from ChatGPT. And with the exception of the number one pick (let’s be honest, no one did it better than MJ), AI did a pretty decent job.
Here’s what ChatGPT had to say:
1. Prince (Super Bowl XLI, 2007)
Prince performed in the rain (which only made it better) and closed with an electrifying rendition of “Purple Rain.” His guitar solo, the lighting, and the moment itself were legendary.
2. Michael Jackson (Super Bowl XXVII, 1993)
The King of Pop changed halftime shows forever with his larger-than-life entrance, a powerful “We Are the World” moment, and iconic performances of “Billie Jean” and “Black or White.”
3. Beyoncé (Super Bowl XLVII, 2013)
Beyoncé delivered a show-stopping performance featuring “Crazy in Love” and “Single Ladies,” plus a surprise Destiny’s Child reunion that had the crowd going wild.
4. U2 (Super Bowl XXXVI, 2002)
Just months after 9/11, U2’s tribute to the victims—projecting their names while performing “Where the Streets Have No Name”—was a deeply emotional and unforgettable moment.
5. Shakira & Jennifer Lopez (Super Bowl LIV, 2020)
A high-energy celebration of Latin music and culture, featuring belly dancing, J.Lo on a pole, and Shakira’s viral tongue-wagging moment. The show was pure entertainment from start to finish.
6. Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige & Kendrick Lamar (Super Bowl LVI, 2022)
The first all-hip-hop halftime show was a love letter to West Coast rap, featuring surprise appearances (50 Cent hanging upside down!) and a setlist packed with iconic tracks.
7. Madonna (Super Bowl XLVI, 2012)
Madonna brought Roman Empire vibes with an elaborate stage, a killer “Vogue” performance, and guest appearances from LMFAO, Nicki Minaj, and M.I.A. (who sparked controversy with her middle finger).
8. Lady Gaga (Super Bowl LI, 2017)
Gaga literally jumped off the stadium roof and performed “Bad Romance” with incredible choreography, proving she’s one of the best entertainers in the world.
9. Katy Perry (Super Bowl XLIX, 2015)
From riding in on a giant mechanical lion to the unforgettable “Left Shark” moment, Katy’s performance was vibrant, fun, and packed with hits like “Teenage Dream” and “Firework.”
10. Bruno Mars (Super Bowl XLVIII, 2014)
Bruno showed why he’s one of the best live performers of his generation, bringing energy, incredible vocals, and an old-school feel with the Red Hot Chili Peppers joining him for “Give It Away.”
