The Weeknd should do 2018. He kinda lacks the number of hits for a setlist and is still recent to mainstream, too soon.

Why would Carrie be considered? She's known, but I cannot see her putting on a show for the masses. She would definitely boring, imo.
However, I'm down for Rihanna next year. It's too soon for The Weeknd.
I guess I'm the only one who wishes that Lady Gaga would have brought out someone (I don't mean Beyonce), but someone. She bored me for the most part of her performance. The only exciting was her jumping at the beginning and at the end.

Why would Carrie be considered? She's known, but I cannot see her putting on a show for the masses. She would definitely boring, imo. Why would she be considered? -Country (a genre that appeals to a huge portion of the Bowl's core viewership base) -Attractive female (a staple for an even bigger portion of the Bowl's core viewership base) -Of all the country acts out there, she's arguably the one with the most global appeal out of any of her other contemporaries (though it hardly reaches far outside of Australia, Canada, and the UK) -Minimal controversy (a +1 for the conservatives, who looooove football), open about her faith (+1,000 for the conservatives, who loooooove Jesus), and is expressive to a limit about her progressive political stances (vegan/against animal cruelty, pro-LGBTQ+ rights & marriage) -She's got tight, tight ties with the NFL (Anthem, 4 years of doing the SNF opening) "Can't see her putting on a show for the masses/she'd be boring" -Go see her tour. Or, at the very least, go watch videos of her past 2 tours (especially the Storyteller Tour). Her show is a spectacle. I could only imagine what it'd look like if she added dancers to it. I totally get if she's not your cup of tea, but her shows have become huge, massive productions. Set-wise, she probably puts on one of the most entertaining and big-budget performances one could see, which is probably not expected considering the fact that she's a country artist. -3rd largest female tour in all of North America of 2016, with the other top 2 being Adele and Beyonce (also putting her ahead of the likes of Rihanna, one of the other people being discussed in here). Carrie can pull a crowd, despite what people may naturally assume. -She's got the big and exciting hits to do it. Granted, a couple of those hits are "Jesus Take the Wheel" and "Something in the Water," lol, but add in "Blown Away" and "Before He Cheats," and that's more than half of the setlist already.

I know she's your girl, but still I stand by my opinion. She's a good singer, but her girl next door vibe does not appeal to me. So again, I stand by my opinion.

But does your opinion allow you to see beyond your own viewpoint? Far be it for me to stand up for Carrie Underwood. I don't like her and her voice is like nails in snails to me but she is an obvious choice and I think the only thing that really works against her is that there's too much overlap between her audience and those already tuning in. Someone like Gaga, for example, would attract an audience who wouldn't watch the Super Bowl otherwise. Carrie on the other hand, would please viewers already watching. I've no doubt she would put on a damn good show if she were chosen. I think she would need a guest or two though, for ratings.

Now not so much because she does not fit what I would think of Super Bowl performer especially with the recent performers. She just doesn't do it for me, personally. To me, it is not about putting on just a good show, she just does not seen that interesting, imo. Her appeal is just lacking because she is only a country artist. With past performers, they were able to play up other genres. Even Lady Gaga has that appeal that I do not see in Carrie. Yet again, maybe, some years before, she would have been a good pick; however, with the flow of music now, I don't see it for her. But again, just my opinion. Maybe she could come out with another major artist, who knows.

Well she's getting ready to release "The Fighter" with Keith Urban and that will surely smash, so...
About being "only a country artist"... Carrie is predominantly country, but she is influenced by a multitude of genres. Carrie has crossed multiple genre lines, and has shown that she is far more versatile than the majority of artists out there today.
For examples, here are some of Carrie's non-country performances:
"Paradise City" at CMA Fest:
Medley with Steven Tyler:
Carrie is a queen at "playing up to other genres". These examples just scratch the surface. She'd be perfect for the gig...
Also, I saw above some worrying about Carrie being "boring"... Below is a link to Carrie's video for Church Bells which is a live video using footage from the massive tour she just finished; boring she is not.

You're saying you don't want her as a performer, when the discussion (in theory) is about whether she'd be a good pick to be a performer. Both are two very different things. I wouldn't be interested if she headlined next year but I still believe she'd be a great pick, obvious even. As for whether it's serious or not, I think it is. I think it's a serious problem that people are unable or unwilling to see beyond their own likes and dislikes. One should still be able to acknowledge whether something is good or positive even if they themselves dislike it. The fact that so many people can't or won't is a major flaw.

Based on your opinion, though, and not facts like the ones that have been repeatedly stated... You don't like her, that's fine, but to deny that she'd be a good choice is completely baseless. Carrie not appealing to you isn't reason enough to make that claim without substantiated evidence... which you don't have... because there is none.

Carrie not appealing to you isn't reason enough to make that claim without substantiated evidence... which you don't have... because there is none. No facts were presented, none of us have data in that sense. This is an opinion based board and only data we received are from album sales, radio updates and etc. This has nothing to do with me liking her or not. Never stated that. I simply mention, I do not find her a good pick. I also stated by recent performers, I would not go her route and again, that is my opinion. Get out of your feelings and learn that people will not agree to everything you are writing. Shoot. I have not had a strong enough drink for you all. You could have simply scrolled past my opinion and left it alone. This back and forth is not called for. You and your buddy. Shoot.

I fully agree with most candidates mentioned here: P!nk, Rihanna, Taylor (Coke issue aside), Maroon 5, Eminem, Carrie (the most obvious country act to headline IMO). I think Kelly Clarkson have great songs but her prime time may have passed... maybe a Carrie/Kelly co-headline? :) I'd add Shakira as well, especially if she manages some sort of comeback (her potential to smash is always there in my opinion)

People absolutely still remember Ariana Grande hates America and licks donuts she didn't purchase.
I think Carrie Underwood has a pretty good case for next year, I personally would love to see her. Not only is she incredibly talented but she has a great personality to go with it. Also, she was featured in all of the NFL ads in 2016, walking around the entire time with her legs bent; ICONIC! I loved those commercials.

It's a for real thing that Janet is banned? Wow. I know I've heard that mentioned countless times in the past but in actually thinking about it (as in, in giving it any ounce of acknowledgement) it's so ridiculous that she's banned. The amount of flack she got for that is beyond comprehension. A, Justin's involvement, B, Justin actually pulled it off or whatever, C, it's a f**king boob. What the f**k is wrong with your country that a boob is deemed THAT offensive? Janet was basically blackballed for her boobs being exposed but half the country voted for that orange thing. OK!

Lol at Ariana Grande hosting the half time show y'all are tripping. Quick name her #1 hits or classic songs? Gtfo y'all would laugh of Ciara and say she isn't big enough but toss around that midget? Ciara has more classics and well known songs and can actually perform and entertain
