The 10 Most Memorable Super Bowl Halftime Performances Of All Time

Thu Jan 19 2012 by Idolator Staff
On February 5, Indianapolis will host Super Bowl XLVI — the 46th iteration of America's biggest game. Millions of fans will gather 'round the television set with seven-layer dip and cold drinks to watch an epic match-up of teams, the year’s funniest and most expensive commercials and most importantly — as far as we're concerned — Madonna's Super Bowl halftime show. The newly minted Interscope singer has been on her grind lately, promoting her Golden Globe-winning directorial debut W.E., unleashing a super sexy fragrance line and gearing up for the release of her 12th studio album MDNA and a world tour.

A federal appeals court upheld its ruling on Wednesday that the Federal Communications Commission wrongly fined Janet Jackson and CBS for a wardrobe malfunction during the 2004 Super Bowl broadcast, wherein Jackson's breast was briefly exposed during a halftime performance with Justin Timberlake. In case you forgot, this incident has led to some pretty tame Super Bowl performances in the ensuing years. (Perhaps Madonna will shake things up in 2012?) More »
