I hate myself for loving you

I really loved Madonna's performance at this past Superbowl's Halftime Show. She kept it professional and clean (too bad M.I.A. had to spoil it with her immature finger gesture).  But I'm not gonna talk about the Superbowl again tonight.  This time, I'm looking back at some of my other favorite female musical performers and thought I'd enjoy some Joan Jett.  "I hate myself for loving you" but I sure love Joan Jett, too!!!  :)

Two Exciting Thoughts

First thought: I can't wait for this Sunday! It's Superbowl Sunday! Yippee!!! (Does anyone even say "yippee" anymore or am I showing my age?) Although I'm not a big football fan (or a big sports fan for that matter), I do LOVE to see championship games and this Superbowl game is one I don't want to miss. My all-time favorite female solo musical performer, Madonna, is gonna perform at the half-time show!   I am so excited!

Two "Super" Thoughts on Tuesday

Okay, what's better than beer and chips during Superbowl Sunday?  Well...other than that!  It's a memorable Superbowl half-time show - that's what!   Even if you're not a huge football fan, you can still enjoy Superbowl whenever there's a great show to watch at half-time.  And that's something I always look forward to when my favorite team is not one of those contending for the championship.

American Football

To be honest with you, I don't know enough about American football to save my life (I lost interest after Jim Kelly - my favorite NFL player - retired from the Bills).   But I do know about entertainment and the Superbowl championships always have some of the most entertaining half-time show performances (and commercials). 


Who can forget the 1993 half-time show featuring Michael Jackson?  It was Superbowl XXVII at the Rosebowl, Pasadena.  That was an amazing show, the only one where the TV ratings increased more than the Superbowl ratings.  It was also one of the most watched events in television history.  Michael Jackson had one of the most breath-taking, spectacular performances I've ever seen on TV.  

Another unforgettable show was the Motown tribute in 1998.  It was a celebration of 40 years in Motown history.  That was Superbowl XXXII at the Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego.  The show featured magnificent performances by some of my favorite Motown artists - Boyz 2 Men, Smokey Robinson, Martha Reeves, The Temptations, and Queen Latifah!  Yeah, I may like rock music more, but I can sing along and get down with these Soul and R & B artists when I want to.  

My most favorite half-time show was - guess!  Yeah, the 2004 Rock the Vote half-time show.  I think I really made the time for it because MTV was plugging that show every second that they could.  Ads were all over the place - the Internet, magazines, radio, and TV, of course.  This took place at Superbowl XXXVIII at the Reliant Stadium in Houston.  And boy, was that show talked about for months after!  Why?  Because this was when Janet Jackson's infamous "wardrobe malfunction" occurred.  Don't tell me you forgot! 

Did I just bring back some fond memories?  Well, I wonder what other bloggers have to share about American Football - cheers and jeers...let's check them out with BlogDumps!  Click on the blinking button below to find other bloggers sharing their thoughts on the topic for Top Sites Tuesday.
