The halftime show performance of Super Bowl is probably just as highly-anticipated as the actual NFL Finals game. This is one of those notable highlights or sideshows which creates quite a stir just as much as the event itself; much like the excitement on who's going to host the Academy Awards, the red carpet outfit of the stars, or what crazy antic Miley Cyrus is going to pull off on her latest onstage performance or music video.
The Super Bowl, after all, is one of the greatest sporting spectacle in the planet which attracts the most number of viewers in television every year. Just last year, Nielsen estimates that Katy Perry's Super Bowl performance recorded the highest viewership for the halftime special raking in an impressive 121 million viewers. And just before that, the 2014 halftime performance of Bruno Mars has held on to the previous record of 115 million, which now currently stands at the second spot, according to E! News.
The organizers of the Super Bowl are not planning to slack off for the upcoming 2016 edition to be held on Feb. 7, 2016, Sunday at the Santa Clara's Levi's Stadium in California. Rumors have already been swirling around, as early as now, that frontman and pop rock heartthrob Adam Levine, together with his band Maroon 5, is out to take center stage for the said event.
One source has revealed to E! that Levine and the American band from Los Angeles have had extensive talks for the possibility of making a performance for the Super Bowl 50 halftime show. Other artists who also had discussions with NFL regarding the highly-coveted gig include Coldplay and Bruno Mars. However, Levine and his band is currently the favorite to grace the intermission, SFGate also wrote.
As of this writing, the NFL and Maroon 5's camp has yet to give their reaction or official confirmation.
A lot of fans were already in anticipation of the 2016 Super Bowl halftime performance which is touted to go down as an epic one as the organizers were expected to pull out all the stops for the 50th presentation.
The Super Bowl was also making a lot of buzz on social media. Last year, Super Bowl XLIX between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots recorded the most number of tweets for any Super Bowl event with 28.4 million tweets. On Facebook, 65 million people joined the discussion to generate 265 million posts, comments and likes according to the research agency Catalyst, the CNBC reported.
