2004: Janet Jackson And Justin Timberlake
This might just be the best known halftime game performance in the entire history of the Super Bowl. It is best known for Justin Timberlake, Janet Jackson, and her famous wardrobe malfunction as they performed “Rock That Body”. This was what Billboard had to say about it: “FCC fines have been assessed, thrown out and appealed in judicial court, and the court of popular opinion will be in sessions for years. But bedazzled breast or not, you have to admit that J&J put on a pretty kick-ass show. It’s a shame all anyone remembers is the last two seconds.”

2001: Aerosmith, Britney Spears, Mary J. Blige, ‘N Sync, Nelly
This Super Bowl halftime performance had two performers at the top of their careers: Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake was with NSync. Rolling Stone said, “’Walk This Way’ has to be one of the most demented three-minute spectacles ever aired on TV. Britney, in silver football pants, starring as the Missy Who Was Ready to Play. Mary J. Blige wailing along. Nelly rapping over Joe Perry’s guitar solo. Really, the whole gloriously sleazy history of American pop music is here in this performance.”
