Prince to Perform at Super Bowl Halftime
Dec 10, 8:26 PM EST

McCartney, Jagger and now Prince.

For the third year in a row, a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame act will headline the Super Bowl halftime entertainment. This time its Prince.

The Purple One, winner of six Grammy Awards and nominated for five more this year, will play at the game in Miami on Feb. 4.

The Super Bowl, which will be televised by CBS, is annually television's highest rated show. An estimated 141 million people watched last year's game between Pittsburgh and Seattle.

The Rolling Stones headlined the halftime show for that Super Bowl, and two years ago it was Paul McCartney.

The NFL has tended to take a more cautious approach since Janet Jackson's widely criticized "wardrobe malfunction" at halftime of the 2004 game. That game also was televised by CBS.

Last year, Mick Jagger's microphone was silenced as he sang sexually suggestive lyrics in a couple of songs the Stones performed.

Prince gained attention early his career with raunchy lyrics and racy performances, but has toned down his act somewhat in recent years.

THAT'S BECAUSE HE BECAME ONE OF JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES.

IF YOU PAY ATTENTION TO HIS LYRICS IN SOME OF HIS SONGS IN THE PAST FEW YEARS, YOU CAN TELL HE SPEAKS OF A FUTURE PARADISE, AND SOME OTHER THINGS HE'S LEARNED FROM THE BIBLE.

I LOVE PRINCE! I GREW UP WITH HIM IN THE 80'S, AND I STILL LOVE HIS MUSIC. JUST GOES TO SHOW YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE RAUNCHY TO BE

YOU GO BROTHER NELSON

I'm ashamed that I haven't seen this commercial until now. Thanks for posting the link.

I hope that he performs "Fury". That is my favorite song off of 3121. I hope that he also performs "Purple Rain".

IT LOOKS LIKE IT, DOESN'T IT? I PAUSED ON HER FACE, AND I'M NOT SURE. WHEN THE CAMERA PANS BACK, THOUGH, IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE HER BODY.

WOULD KIRSTIE ACTUALLY BE IN SOMETHING AND NOT TALK?

BUT, WHO KNOWS. I WAS THINKING THAT BLACK GUY (OTHER THAN PRINCE

)
LOOKED FAMILIER TOO. IS HE AN ACTOR? IF SO, MAYBE THAT'S REALLY KIRSTIE, TOO

I'll take that bet, especially since he hasn't performed 1999 since 1999. He announced years ago that that song is retired from his performances. Let's Go Crazy is more likely.
