In the United States, the halftime show for the Super Bowl is a highlight of the event and can cost millions to stage. Due to the precise timing required to accommodate the high priced advertising surrounding the halftime shows, performers sing live but to pre-recorded backing tracks. The band on stage plays along with the pre-recorded backing tracks. The guitar solos are also performed live rather than being pre-recorded.

According to the entertainment publication Variety, as of February 2007, the NFL is already developing a wish list for the Super Bowl XLII halftime performer(s). Bruce Springsteen and Norah Jones are reported as potential targets.[1]

The 1993 halftime show, unlike in many previous years, featured only one star performer, Michael Jackson. The show, held at the Rose Bowl, opened with doubles of Jackson entering the stadium in each corner. The finale featured an audience card stunt and a choir of 3,500 local Los Angeles area children joining Jackson as he sang his single "Heal The World."

The selection of Jackson for the halftime show was in response to sagging interest in recent performances. A year earlier, during Super Bowl XXVI, FOX broadcast alternate programming during the halftime show. The special episode of In Living Color attracted 20-25 million viewers away from the Super Bowl broadcast on CBS. Starting with Jackson in 1993, the NFL and network officials decided it was necessary to sign top acts for the halftime in future years.

The 2000 halftime show was produced by Disney, and based on their year-long Millenium celebration at Walt Disney World's Epcot. The ten-minute show featured 125 drummers and percussionists, a full symphony orchestra, larger-than-life puppets, aerial dancers, a multi-generational choir and advanced pyrotechnics. Stars of the show inlcuded Phil Collins, who sang his song "You'll Be in My Heart," from the Disney animated feature Tarzan. Christina Aguilera, Enrique Iglesias, and Toni Braxton also performed.

The 2001 halftime show was produced by MTV and featured multiple artists. A pre-show skit starring Ben Stiller, Adam Sandler, and Chris Rock, along with the band members of Aerosmith and 'N Sync, aired on television and on stadium video screens while crews assembled the circular stage. 'N Sync started the show by running from the northeast corner of the stadium to the stage, which was at midfield. Hundreds of cheering fans then surrounded the stage. 'N Sync and Aerosmith each played two songs apiece. The show concluded with all of the performers joining together to sing Aerosmith's classic song "Walk This Way" with guest stars Brittney Spears, Mary J. Blige and Nelly.

In 2002, the halftime show was a tribute to the victims of 9/11 starring U2. A heart-shaped stage featured a banner scrolling the names of the nearly 3,000 people who perished on September 11, 2001.

During the halftime show, rival network NBC broadcast alternate programming. A special episode of Fear Factor featuring Playboy Playmate aired opposite the halftime show on FOX

The 2003 halftime show featured several artists. The show kicked off with country music super-star Shania Twain, who sang her new single, "Up!" in a medley with one of her signature songs, "Man! I Feel like a Woman!" Twain left the stage on a rising platform as if she was lifted by balloons. Following Twain, No Doubt performed their hit "Just a Girl." Then Sting performed "Message in a Bottle," and the show concluded with Gwen Stefani of No Doubt joining Sting for the last verse.

For the second year in a row, during the halftime, NBC broadcasted alternate programming. A special 20-minute live broadcast of SNL featured Jimmy Fallon and Tina Fey anchoring the "Weekend Update."

In 2004, MTV returned to produce their their second halftime show. The show featured six star performers, and featured the controversal "wardrobe malfunction" incident involving Janet Jackson. Jessica Simpson started out the show with the TSU marching band. Janet Jackson then entered on an elevator for her first song. On a smaller stage, P. Diddy then performed a version of Toni Basil's "Mickey." Nelly performed his hit "Hot in Herre." Kid Rock then took the stage, wearing an American flag, and sung "Bawitdaba" and "Cowboy." Janet Jackson returned to the stage to sing her hit "Rhythm Nation," then was joined on the stage by Justin Timberlake. At the end of the duet, on live television, Timberlake ripped a piece of Jackson's costume off, exposing her right breast.

Paul McCartney and his touring band perfomed in 2005. They reportedly received a fee of $3,482,972.

The Rolling Stones performed at the 2006 halftime show. The stage was in the form their trademark iconic huge tongue. Mick Jagger's vocals struggled to find the pitch.[citation needed]

In 2007, Prince performed a twelve-minute medley of songs that were intersperced with stunning guitar solos in the style of Jimi Hendrix and Eddie Van Halen. The show was performed in heavy rain that drenched the stage, shaped in his famous "Artist Formerly Known as Prince" logo. Image:Prince_symbol.svg
