It’s time for another Tunes Tuesday linkup with Steff from Run Steff Run and Kimberly from Kooky Runner. We’re so excited to have you share your favorite music with us each week!
We’re looking for inspiration for our running and workout playlists and even a “jog” down memory lane as you share your favorite jams! It’s a new month and we’re back with the theme of motivating music. This week, I’m sharing some of my favorite motivating songs from previous SuperBowl performers, keep reading to check it out!
I’m also joining Marcia, Patty, and Erika for Tuesdays on the Run!
Time for #tunestuesday - this week I'm sharing great songs from past #SuperBowl performers! Click To TweetDid you catch SuperBowl LI? I was having a great time enjoying the Falcons beat the Patriots but unfortunately, they blew a huge lead and lost the game! I thought the commercials were okay this year, but at least I could count on Lady Gaga giving a great performance!
In light of the recent Super Bowl, I thought it would be fun to take a look at some of the artists that have performed in the Super Bowl in the past. Ever since Michael Jackson’s iconic performance in 1993, the halftime show has become one of the highlights of the Super Bowl! And while some years are better than others, it’s still usually a pretty fun time!
Unfortunately, I don’t have songs from every artist that has ever performed at the Super Bowl Halftime Show. I’m not a big fan of The Who, U2, or the Rolling Stones. I would have loved to add Prince, but none of his music is on Spotify…what a crime! Update: Prince is now on Spotify!! And I didn’t add JT because I’m still not over the wardrobe malfunction… Hopefully you enjoy a few of these tunes and flash back to some memorable Super Bowl performances over the past 20+ years!
Michael Jackson – Jam, Black or White: The legend!! He had a 3-minute standing ovation before he could even start performing!
James Brown – Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine: He performed this with the Blues Brothers…who knew?
The Temptations – Get Ready: Taking it to the old school!
Stevie Wonder – Sir Duke: Stevie is amazing, he can do no wrong!
*NSYNC – It’s Gonna Be Me: Anything with *NSYNC is a winner in my book!
Aerosmith – Walk This Way: This was definitely my favorite Super Bowl halftime of all time!
Shania Twain – Man! I Feel Like a Woman!: Hey I got a little country love!
Kid Rock – Bawitdaba: Everybody loved this song back in the day…admit it!
Bruce Springsteen – Born to Run: Showing some love to the Boss!
Prince – Let’s Get Crazy, Purple Rain: I have to admit that it took me a long time to realize the genius of Prince! Gone too soon!
Black Eyed Peas – I Gotta Feeling: So many people hate BEP because they’re total sellouts but hey, I like the music!
Madonna – Like a Prayer: Still a beast.
Beyonce – Single Ladies: Her halftime show was epic! I need to watch it again!
Bruno Mars – Just the Way You Are: Bruno was dancing like a fool out there! This is still one of my favorite songs.
Katy Perry – Firework, Dark Horse: She had such a fun halftime show, definitely one of my favorites!
Missy Elliott – Work It: The worst kept secret but an amazing performance! As you know, I’m always ready for Missy!
