10. Miley Cyrus
Miley Cyrus is known for making headlines for her over the top performances and why not take a risk and let her have one of the biggest platforms in the world, after all compared to Cyrus, Janet Jackson’s clothing malfunction seems very tame.

9. The White Stripes
When it comes to rock ‘n’ roll groups that shocked the world and took over the charts, The White Stripes are in the top ten. If the group could come back together they would deserve the honor of taking over one of the biggest stages and most watched perfomances in the world.

8. Dave Matthews Band
The Dave Matthews Band has been rocking concert venues across the globe for years. They have a tried and true jam band sound and would deliver a performance that is likely not be forgotten.

7. Jay-Z
Since the NFL most likely won’t have Beyonce grace the stage again so soon, why not invite her better half Mr. Jay-Z? After all Mrs. Carter could join her husband on stage for a rendition of “Drunk In Love,” that alone might shut off the lights again.

6. Justin Timberlake
Justin Timberlake has graced the stage before when he was with *NSYNC, but since his boy band days Timberlake has become one of the most famous musicians in the world. He has a variety of hits and has proven that he can put on a good show.

5. Taylor Swift
No country music artist has had the honor of performing during the halftime show of the Super Bowl. The artist that is most likely to break this streak would have to be Taylor Swift. Swift is not only a superstar in the United States but around the world, she can pack a stadium within seconds and has enough hits to play and entertain audiences around the world.

4. Coldplay
Rock ‘n’ roll has always been a staple when it comes to the Super Bowl and who better to carry on that tradition than Coldplay? They have proved that time and time again the band and write hit music and top the charts.
[new page= Rihanna]
3. Rihanna
Rihanna is sexy, powerful and is known for putting on amazing performances. Why not left Beyonce pass the halftime show on to another female that embodies power, pride and is a great musician.

2. Bon Jovi
Picture this; the Super Bowl in 2015, the lights dim and the opening chords to “Livin’ On a Prayer” are heard. It seems like this only make sense to let Bon Jovi take over the halftime show, most of their hits are heard at stadiums across the world and the band is not shy about their love of sports.
[new page=Eminem]
1. Eminem
An unlikely choice but one that would be remembered for years would be rapper, Eminem. Eminem is known for making headlines with his lyrics but Eminem has the power of releasing an album and sending it right to number one. His songs are inspiring, interesting and it would be unique to see what a rapper could do with the halftime show.
