Janet Jackson Still Blacklisted from Super Bowl Halftime Show

I would love to see Elton John perform again! I only watch for the half time show, not the commercials or the game.

If it helps her, apparently the Broncos were blacklisted at this year's Super Bowl.

does anyone believe in the Illuminati theories? I'm asking, because after every superbowl halftime show, all those people come up with those scary thoughts about a new world order^^

Which is particularly annoying since that wasn't even a half-time performance, was it?

(face palm)

She sang the national anthem and it was pre-recorded. Though she did sing along it was only the precording the audience heard. Basically, she lip synched.

oh ffs, who gives a fuck? that show sucked. she sucked, he sucked, her nipple sucked! and it "ruined her career"? come the fuck on?! she hasn't done shit in a fucking decade. lainey needs to find something else to make a big deal out of! fucking hack mothefucker!

It's funny; I love some of her music, but she cannot sing. Like Mohandas said, her vocal range is almost non-existent. She was lucky enough to have Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis produce her albums. They gave her a great sound, catchy dance beats and all that. But you know that there are at least 5000 singers who could have done it better. She was just well-packaged. She can dance though, I'll give her that.

"A rep for the NFL says that the only 2015 Super Bowl Half-Time Show act they’ve ruled out is Janet Jackson. Oh, the NFL, where flashing a harmless lady nipple is an unforgivable sin, but abusing dogs and women isn’t" Michael K / Dlisted

I couldn't have said it better myself.

I had to quote this because it's so fucking true.

Should we make it obvious? He has a dick. And he’s white.

That's debatable as far as I'm concerned.

the halftime shows blows goat dicks anyway. there has only ever been one good one. Prince.

**SHELLEE** · August 22nd, 2014, 04:23 PM

That's the only one I watched. It was here and it rained if I remember correctly.

**bootspaige** · August 22nd, 2014, 05:05 PM

I'm shocked they singled her out like that. What was the f-ing point in providing that detail? dicks.

I don't like Janet, so I don't care. This opinion doesn't change, regardless if I have seen her nipple. Sure, America has this bizarre nipple phobia, where nipples are the devil's plaything, and cause all sorts of various brouhaha. There are starving babies in public, and pop singers that can't perform at the Superbowl, because of those pesky nubbins.

That wardrobe malfunction was planned and totally inappropriate for a halftime show aimed at families. If Justin knew about it ahead of time, then he also deserves to be banned. I don't think it had anything to do with the rest of Janet's career because most music fans don't really care if she flashes a boob. She hasn't released any decent music in years and that's why her career has tanked. The NFL isn't consistent in how it deals with most things, so turning a blind eye to its players and their criminal behavior, drug use and spousal assault doesn't surprise me at all.
