In Super Bowl history, the 1993 halftime show remains one of the most legendary performances ever. The NFL invited Michael Jackson to perform during a time when halftime viewership was declining. Instead of viewers tuning out, his performance became so iconic that the audience during halftime actually surpassed the viewership of the first half.

In 2001, during the filming of "You Rock My World," Michael Jackson was told to darken his skin with makeup and use putty on his nose. He was so upset he locked himself in the bathroom and cried, but still delivered a flawless performance

Michael Jackson wouldn’t preform at his Super Bowl until the NFL agreed to pay 100 thousand dollars to his Save the World Foundation and give them a 30 second commercial during the game. The foundation established in 1992 to improve children’s lives, fight poverty and support the environment. This is the one performer who used the Super Bowl for good. RIP Michael Jackson ❤️🙏🏻

🚨 Akademiks says Drake performing at the World Cup wouldn’t top Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show Ak argues that while the World Cup reaches a much bigger global audience, Kendrick had the freedom to headline the Super Bowl by himself, perform his Drake diss records and “go sh*t on his opp” on the biggest stage. He says Drake likely would’ve been expected to perform global hits like “One Dance” and “Hotline Bling” instead.

Before achieving global stardom, Michael Jackson was already showcasing a completely different side of his artistic talent. During a 1974 television performance with The Jackson 5, he sang “Killing Me Softly With His Song” in a softer, more controlled vocal style that contrasted with the group’s usual energetic sound. The performance highlighted a transitional moment in his voice, shifting from a youthful clarity to a more mature tone that he would develop later that same decade. Originally composed by Charles Fox and Norman Gimbel, and popularized by Roberta Flack in 1973, the song allowed Jackson to explore a more emotional and nuanced performance.

Michael Jackson’s Super Bowl performance promoted peace, love, unity and protecting the children — a stark contrast from the Satanic ritual Super Bowl performances we’ve seen for the past many years! Michael Jackson’s 1993 Super Bowl performance was all about love, bringing people together and, most importantly, focused on protecting the children. He said no child should ever have to live in a world where they suffer. Now contrast this performance to all the demonic Super Bowl performances we’ve seen in recent years promoting Satanism, violence, debauchery, division and hate. MJ was not a member of the Satanic pedophile cabal. They destroyed his life for this reason. They tainted his reputation, accusing him of exactly what they’re guilty of, and then murdered him. In doing so, they also stole this beautiful soul from us who gave countless people so much joy, hope, inspiration and so much more. Never forget or forgive what they did to MJ, and what they stole from us by slandering, destroying and killing this wonderful man. MJ will be vindicated in due time as God as my witness. Here’s looking at you — Oprah Winfrey — you will pay for what you did to this Godly man who made it his life purpose to help and protect children!

Absolutely, this is peak Michael Jackson — the King of Pop owning the Super Bowl XXVII Halftime Show on January 31, 1993, at the Rose Bowl. That performance didn’t just entertain; it straight-up redefined what a halftime show could be. MJ stood motionless for over two minutes as the crowd lost their minds, then exploded into hits like “Jam,” “Billie Jean,” “Black or White,” “We Are the World,” and “Heal the World.” No gimmicks, no army of guests — just pure talent, iconic choreography, and that unmatched stage presence. It drew a record 133+ million viewers in the U.S. (more than the game itself in some metrics at the time), flipped the script so future Super Bowls chased big pop stars, and boosted his Dangerous album. Many still call it the greatest halftime show ever for a reason. The man’s a legend — voice, moves, vision, all of it. If you haven’t watched the full thing, drop everything and do it. Pure magic. 👑✨

Yes, that was a real wedding that took place during Bad Bunny's halftime performance. After the couple originally invited Benito to their wedding, he instead invited them to join his performance. They, of course, said 'I do.' Bad Bunny, along with the whole world, served as a witness and signed the marriage certificate. The couple then danced, ate wedding cake and enjoyed the moment.
