Maroon 5 to perform Super Bowl Halftime

Whatever. The list of musicians that check all the boxes for the halftime show - safe, recognizable, established, boring - is pretty short. It was these guys or Imagine Dragons.

edit: Ed Sheeran, maybe. They might be saving him for next year.

I agree, I'd also add marketable to a demographic that may not normally watch football (the Voice crowd)

You forgot one other criteria: willing to work for free. It has been confirmed that the NFL has even pressured would be acts to pay for the chance to be featured but I don't think anyone has actually admitted to paying for the chance.

He'd need to work more on looping in a basic rhythm on his guitar and act like it's the first time anyone's ever done that.

I liked the stretch with all the classic musicians they had there for a few years. Keith Richards at one point looked like he woke up mid-song.

I don't think "I wanna get down on my knees and start pleasing Jesus, I wanna feel his salvation all over my face," or "One time, two times, three times my savior" would play well to the masses.

Kids these days just don't get it.

Mrs. Velo will be happy. She thinks Levine is hot.

As will Mrs CCG...which is why I found myself in Cedar Rapids for their concert this summer.

That said, I think this is a good get. I only occasionally listen to popular music on the radio and I knew 85% of the songs that they played in concert.

I don't know what people think makes a good halftime act, but they seem to fit the bill.
