Instead of getting a full show of flashy dancing and loud music, viewers were met with weird camouflage outfits, uncomfortable Prince tributes, awkward dance moves and of course, selfie kid.

At Super Bowl LII, many tuned in to watch the Eagles battle the Patriots but for others, the excitement of the halftime show was the reason. When people think Super Bowl Halftime Show, they think flashing lights, big choreographed dance routines and peppy set lists that keep audiences engaged the whole performance. For many, the halftime show provided the opposite. When choosing the entertainment for the show, selected performers have to cater to all audiences.

The announcement to go with Justin Timberlake excited many but the show came up to be sub-par. Instead of getting a full show of flashy dancing and loud music, viewers were met with weird camouflage outfits, uncomfortable Prince tributes, awkward dance moves and of course, selfie kid. When putting together the halftime show for Super Bowl LIII, the committee should consider including multiple different talents who successfully cater to various audiences.

The thought may have been there, but the follow through fell short. By incorporating different groups, the halftime show could once again be a fun and cohesive force that caters to the needs and interests of all ages.
