But after members of the late multi-instrumentalist?s inner circle, most notably drummer Sheila E, pointed out that Prince philosophically objected to the idea during his lifetime, various reports held that plans for a hologramwere either scrapped due to the backlash or overblown to begin with. But during the Pepsi Presents the Super Bowl Halftime Show brought to you by Pepsi, Timberlake indeed performed a duet of Prince?s classic ?I Would Die 4 U? with the genius musician who died in 2016 and called such collaborations ?demonic? in a 1998 Guitar Worldinterview. It was not technically a hologram, so promises to avoid holograms were true, if not true in spirit. It was a huge video image of Prince performing, and Timberlake gamely sang along. And what?s worse is that it was really the only interesting part of the show. Because it was a Super Bowl Halftime show, Timberlake?s performance obviously came with huge production value, hundreds of backup dancers and musicians, and elaborate stage sets and lighting. He had a full-on marching band with him, even if, for whatever reason, the broadcast audio made the marching band sound like the worst of 1980s synthesized horns. Only none of his music is anywhere near as interesting as the worst track on Purple Rain, and for many in the audience, undoubtedly, the most intriguing part of the performance ? besides the minute or so it had a giant projection of Prince in it, against Prince?s stated wishes ? was realizing that various songs you?ve overhead a bunch of times playing in the background in mall stores and chain gyms can be attributed to Justin Timberlake, alumnus of the Mickey Mouse Club and ?NSYNC. Where many Super Bowl Halftime performers welcome guests from across the musical spectrum to appeal to broad audiences, Timberlake?s bland universality apparently made that unnecessary. So it was just Justin Timberlake playing those songs you know are by Justin Timberlake and a couple of songs you know but didn?t quite know were by Justin Timberlake but oh yeah, that makes sense, come to think of it this does sound like a more boring Michael Jackson. :rip: Presumably Prince won?t complain all that much about his inclusion in the show, and it seems entirely likely no one responsible for his presence on Sunday meant for it to be in any way exploitative. But it served to remind the world, once again, that Prince?s own Super Bowl halftime performance remains the standard-bearer for such things, and that reminding people of it is a really bad way to try to distinguish your own. When Timberlake played the Super Bowl in 2004, his performance ? for reasons that didn?t have much to do with the music ? overshadowed the game itself in the days that followed. This version, the slight of Prince notwithstanding, will likely be quickly forgotten.Damn someone wrote this alreadyThat's exactly how u know what it's really all about and a hater
