So where does Madonna fit in the lineage of Super Bowl halftime performers? Let's take a look at the past 10 years. 2002 - U2 2003 - Shania Twain, No Doubt, Sting 2004 - Janet Jackson, Justin Timberlake 2005 - Paul McCartney 2006 - The Rolling Stones 2007 - Prince 2008 - Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers 2009 - Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band 2010 - The Who 2011 - The Black Eyed Peas, Usher, and Slash Now we can add Madonna to that list. For the moment, the biggest question is how much freedom she gets from the NFL. Madonna of the '80s and '90s would've been a pretty interesting experiment at the Super Bowl, as no female artist this side of Janet Jackson would've been more likely to push the envelope as far as costumes, themes, and stageplay is concerned.
