Some of the biggest names in music history have made the Super Bowl halftime show their own over the years.
It's a feature presentation in the world of entertainment, a convergence between the zero-sum stakes of NFL football and the glitz and glamor of Hollywood.
It's also fairly marketable; from Lady Gaga to Dr. Dre, Super Bowl performances have tended to be followed up by an overwhelming surge in album sales.
All of this is to say, a whole lot can happen in the period between the second and third quarters. Legacies can be cemented, as was the case when Beyonce brought Destiny's Child out on stage and set the world alight in the spectacle that was the Super Bowl 47 halftime show.

Conversely, they can also be tarnished. Need we mention LMFAO, who hasn't gotten up to much of anything since (somehow) taking the stage with Madonna (?!) in 2012.
