www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIAMN7JuICEFunk veteran Prince to play at Super Bowl show LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Funk rock veteran Prince will perform during the halftime show at the Super Bowl in February. The slot during the most-watched television show in the United States has come under scrutiny since Janet Jackson's breast-baring "wardrobe malfunction" in 2004 led to sharply higher fines for broadcast indecency. This year, the Rolling Stones were bleeped a few times during their three-song set, much to their annoyance. Prince, the 48-year-old Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee who rose to fame on the strength of such tunes as "Little Red Corvette" and "Let's Go Crazy," will perform at Dolphin Stadium near Miami on Sunday, February 4. The game will be televised on CBS, a unit of CBS Corp. This year's event, held in Detroit, drew 91 million viewers in the United States, according to Nielsen Media Research. It's unlikely Prince will have problems with censors from the network and the National Football League. He has become a Jehovah's Witness and disavowed the kinkier tunes that make up a hefty chunk of his catalog. His Super Bowl performance was announced on the CBS sports show "NFL Today," three days after he received five nominations for the Grammy Awards, the music industry's most prestigious event.

Prince will be cool. Hell of a lot better than the Rolling Stones, in my opinion.

That could be really good. He'll probably do "Let's Go Crazy" and "Purple Rain." As great as those songs are, he has soooo many good ones he could do.

That part is too bad, but I don't mind him doing the halftime show. They could have a lot worse.

This is great, but I hope he does one of his classics, not anything from his latest album. I mean, most people aren't familiar with the material anyways. In other words, he shouldn't perform any flop singles.

If you don't have some kind of respect for a true musician like Prince, then you should work on it. Hopefully he hits us with something great..I'd like to see Purple Rain or any one of his popular classics.

FLOP PERFORMANCE!
3 years in a row the Half-time show will lose viewers.

I think the performance will be amazing. I guess he'll sing "Little Red Corvette", "Let's Go Crazy" and something from the latest album. I think "Purple Rain" is too depressing for an event like that.

YOU can be a part of the Super Bowl Stage Crew! Yes, it's true. YOU can be a part of Prince's Volunteer Stage Crew for the Super Bowl XLI Halftime Show. 41 Productions is currently seeking approximately 600 men and women, willing to volunteer their time and assist us in the production. It will be an experience you will never forget! Both the Pregame and Halftime shows use modular stage and lighting units that are on wheels. They are pushed out onto the field, assembled, and readied for the artists to perform on. After the performance, they are broken down and wheeled out of the stadium. Volunteers need to be over the age of 18, and in good physical condition. No prior production experience is necessary. Though participants will NOT be on the field during the game, they WILL be on the field during their respective show segment (Pregame or Halftime), and they will be an integral part of the show production. You will need to be in the South Florida area for our rehearsals, which begin on Wednesday, January 24. The big game is Sunday, February 4. For complete rehearsal schedules, details, and a volunteer form, please visit our website at: www.superbowlproductions.com
