Worst: Up With People, 1986
Check out what The Street had to say about how Up With People did at the Super Bowl halftime show: “Voice-of-God narration from the stadium PA system, some dead-eyed singers staring into nothingness and a few random color guards and drill teams and you have Up With People.” The musical act was a staple of the halftime shows during the first two decades of the Super Bowl. Aside from that, Up with People performed at the shows in 1976, 1980, and 1982 as well. A writer said, “Up With People looked like an English language overdub of a Kim Jong Un birthday celebration and sounded like what the Manson family would have been doing if they didn’t decide to go murdering people and ending the ’60s. It was terrifying but, for some reason, none of us could look away”
