Best: Prince, 2007
People were surprised that the NFL would take a chance on Prince after the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction fiasco. After all, the singer has always been known for risqué dance movies and lyrics. In the end, it paid off. He delivered a strong show by playing his classic songs such as “Let’s Go Crazy” and “1999.” Not only that, but he also performed “All Along the Watchtower” and “Proud Mary” by other performers. He ended his set with “Purple Rain,” which was the right choice based on the response of the audience. The finale went from “All Along the Watchtower” to “Best of You” to “Purple Rain.”
