The Super Bowl half time performance is sometimes bigger than the actual game. For many, it is the only thing they watch. So here is the 25 best ones.

The Super Bowl Half Time show is one of the most important moments of the entire year. Why? Because the entire United States is watching the same thing at the same time. Well, most people. With the half time performance, people tune in for only that. They don’t want to be left out the next day at work when people are talking about whoever went on.

So, people join in to the fun of the Super Bowl exclusively for the music performance and maybe some commercials. Other than that, they might not watch any of the actual game. Therefore the half time performance is almost more important than any football actually happening.

So we’re going to look at the 25 best half time performances of all time. From Diana Ross to U2, this is one heck of an impressive list. Every performer pulls out the stops and it is just an amazingly fun show to watch! But some are clearly much better than others. That’s just the nature of the game.

If your favorite doesn’t make the cut, sorry! There were only 25 slots and like the Super Bowl has taught us, not everyone is going to be a winner in the end.
