Even after this years, Prince is STILL the greatest half time show!

The thing about Prince is he didn't just make music, Prince IS music. I've never witnessed another artist who literally dedicated his life to music. He would record about 3-5 albums worth of material every year, he was proficient at all 27 instruments he played, he's done like every genre under the sun, and of course he's regarded as one of the best (if not the best) live performers of all time.

What does Prince do when he has a stage in front of the whole world? He plays other musicians' songs. Absolute GOAT.

I went to a Prince concert in 2011 and it was the best live show I have ever seen. He played flat out for almost 4 hours without taking a break. It didn't even feel like a concert because he would play his songs and songs from other artists just non stop. It was like Prince was having a party and everyone was invited. Just insane. No other experience will ever come close. Too bad he's no longer with us.

He is the “greatest all around musician EVER”!!!!!!

Prince is king to me. Like, I get why MJ is the king of pop but Prince was more than just a single genre of music to me. He did everything no other artist could do. I've never seen anyone do what Prince did. He's just the ultimate talent. He is literally 'The Artist'. There's nobody more talented than him, not even Michael Jackson.

MJ didn't even write most of his own songs, lipsynched his live performances, and he was an amateur player of guitar, piano and dumbs while Prince played them plus bass guitar and synths at a professional or expert level, and he performed live and crossed multiple genres. Prince was a genuine musician. MJ doesn't even come close to being as talented as Prince was. Prince could have easily done what MJ did by putting down the instruments and live performance and just taken whatever hit lyrics came his way from writers and then shot big music videos and then just lipsynched them on stage.

If you really want to name other artists besides prince, there is Stevie wonder, Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, Frank Zappa. But Micheal Jackson, he isn't even comparable to Prince. He didn't produce, was a mediocre songwriter, couldn't play any instrument. It really irritates me when you guys act like mj is even close to the level of Prince .

Prince's passing - hit me harder than I expected. I listened to his music exclusively, after - for 2 years straight...I was in music mourning...deep. It broke my heart...and I had to try and figure out why. My reason was that I knew, that I would never see another Prince, even if I lived two lifetimes. Nowadays....you always have people trying to crown this artist, or that artist - the new king or queen of whatever. They never do that with Prince. Because they know that it is just not possible....

You have to bear in mind it was throwing it down with rain. The stage would’ve been as slippery as hell and him and the girls are wearing heels! Plus live guitars in the rain! Dangerous! Plus he’s playing all his guitar solos with wet guitars and wet fingers! When told it was going to rain, he said ‘can you make it rain harder’ F##king legend! 💜💜💜

There was no comparison between him and MJ. Michael was talented don’t get me wrong but Prince was on another level! Love your reactions!!

When asked about the rain being a problem by a NFL official the day before, Prince responded : "Can you make it rain harder?"

We miss Prince very much, everyone says “MJ is the best entertainer” and really... I don’t think so, Every show Prince does is DIFFERENT and ENTERTAINING, he DOESNT lip sync. Mj is a great pop icon.

Prince was and always will be the most talented and complete Artist & Musician that ever lived.

He was the real deal man. Peace out. 💜 O(+> 4ever

I saw prince in concert at his purple rain tour when I was 13. I'll never forget it. It was one of the most amazing things I have ever heard of seen. RIP Prince.

People forget he is a legit GOAT on guitar because he's such a prolific songwriter--but he straight up shreds. Check out"while my guitar gently weeps" with him, tom petty and others. It'll move your world

What a great review/reaction. 💟 When Prince played, it was soon after wardrobe malfunctiongate and the censors were at high alert. So when Prince played his guitar behind the giant sheet, his guitar was a giant phallic symbol 🍆 and was Prince snubbing the censors (who he has had a longtime feud with) Also the Foo Fighters were hanging with Neil Peart and Rush when unbeknownst to them Prince was covering Best of You. Someone ran out to tell them Prince was covering them at the Superbowl. They said "cool"!. He did this because they covered Darling Nikki without telling him. Prince was the only artist (as far as i know)who added multiple covers to his Superbowl setlist. Sampling Queen, Dylan, CCR AND Foo Fighters. All live! No lip syncing like so many including MJ. Or air banding like Red Hot Chili Peppers(embarrassing). Real music played by real musicians. Legendary performance. RIP Prince

Queen opening for Prince!! Haha!! Awesome!! 💜🔥💜🔥💜 Now that’s a half-time show!! Prince giving nods to CCR’s Proud Mary & Hendrix, too. Sometimes I feel when Prince passed away that all the best eras of music went with him!! 😭😭 Prince is our Purple Haze! 💜

best half time show ever - he is the GOAT -best musician ever

Prince was a bona fide genius, he had insane gifts and did the hard work to turn his dreams into reality. If you dive deep into Prince's work, the brillance is even more evident. The best of my generation without a doubt. When you listen to Prince, it's 100% - he followed his own muse. There was a story about the rain at this Super Bowl and someone suggested that he lipsync due to the dangers of electrocution. Prince quickly shot back, "I'm Prince I sing live". MJ was a great performer and dancer, but he had a team of the best people helping him including the incomparable Quincy Jones & Rod Temperton. MJ also resorted to lipsyncing at times, although not like they do today. The two artists were on completely different roads. I personally rank Kate Bush higher than MJ.

Great job brother, you’re the first one to react to the whole show.

The GREATEST halftime show ever!!!

What I loved about this reaction was knowing that he was already freaking out during foofighters, with no idea what was about to come!

Prince is bad ass🔥🔥🔥! When you can knock the microphone down and have that much confidence to just wait and listen to the audience sing your song while you are killing the guitar 🎸🤔! His presence is sooooo powerful! WOW in my opinion this the #1 Super Bowl performance to date! He is the best guitarist in my opinion because of his total package! Rest In Peace 💜☔️. Musical legend/genius you are truly missed🙏🏾!

I will also add, that since the turn of century, the year 2000, of all available live performances by any artist, he holds the #1 and #2 spots with this performance and while my guitar gently weeps performance at rock and roll hall of fame induction. No one else comes close

I was there brother it rained all day it stopped then on cue it rained.when he sang purple rain. Also this guy saved his show his stage ran over the main wire he went held the bare Eire with his hands for the whole 20min to save his show

Best halftime show ever... and i'm an oldschool hip hip head in my 40's!

Best halftime show EVER. No one else comes close. In the pouring rain, no less.

Also i love how he killed that foo fighters song so hard, no one even noticed he was playing a foo fighters song lol

Prince was the modern Day Mozart, the ultimate showman, he was music.....Jackson was great but like Stevie wonder said, Prince was at another level.

When you get chills like that, you know you've just witnessed greatness. Every Prince fan on the planet had chills over this. I think it was the greatest achievement of his life. There will never be another Prince.

All this while the rain poured!!!! Electrical wires everywhere!! He did not miss a beat!! Bless his soul. Miss him sooooooooooo much!!!!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

I love him so much by myself but your reaction make this much emotive 🤣💜💜 Can't believe this super human being crossed this world...

It really was pouring. They wanted prince to know. They asked him if he wanted to postpone it for a little while. He said no I would like it to rain harder mind you he’s playing with an electric guitar and his do rag protecting his curls.

Completely appropriate reaction. Prince was a once in a century artist, and that was a once in a lifetime musical experience.

This is the BEST HALFTIME SHOW EVER when the rain picks up during purple rain even god couldn't make it more perfect

even thunders came down @1.52 in the rain - Prince wanted big and nature just brought it..totally loose perfection

Once I realized I was crying in front of bunch of other grown men I tried to wipe face and looked around…. Nobody had a dry eye that night. 15 grown men in a room crying together

Loved this reaction. You get it! You have been touched by the greatness and you get it.

He did that in a full-blown storm. That makes it even crazier. And no lip syncing!

I saw this live in 2007 & many times since and it always blows me away but seeing your reaction along with the video put tears in my eyes. The beauty of the show, the excellence and seeing you be overwhelmed by it was something beautiful to see. You see why so many of us loved that man. There are many legends & icons but Prince is in a class my himself. The world lost something really special in 2016 & we’re still feeling it but thank God for videos like this to remind us of what real musicianship and real showmanship looks like! I’m so glad you got to see this! It was an excellent video & I loved it! 💜

People can "debate" Prince and Michael Jackson but the facts are that MJ is a bigger superstar globally but it's Prince that plays guitar, bass guitar, piano, drums and synths at a professional to expert level (MJ was an ameteur players of guitar, drums, piano), Prince wrote most of his music while MJ didn't write most of his music. Prince crossed across multiple genres, and he's easily the most talented musician of modern times between playing all instruments, dancing and performing. MJ lipsynced most of his performances because his shows were more about him dancing while his big hits played in the background, while Prince actually sang and played guitar (sometimes bass guitar and piano too) and that's why he also covered other people's music at his live shows. Since Prince and his band were doing it live he would change up the sounds to his own songs, either making them more hard rock or more funky or sometimes more electronic (synths).

Listen to Prince’s epic guitar solo at he end of While my guitar gently weeps on the Rock and roll hall of fame! EPIC!

Prince loved playing the guitar 🎸! He's the best at plenty at 🎶 music.

The 12 minutes is meant to be a run through of the history of rock He is wearing Miami Dolphins colours of teal and orange as this is at their stadium (it was always in the detail with Prince) He always compared his guitar playing closest to Carlos Santana rather than Hendrix You can hear that the guitars are very close to breaking down with all the water in the connections. But of course they didn’t because Prince is the best……

I agree only Prince could be singing purple rain in legit purple rain. The crazy thing is that when the meteorologist for this NFL season called Prince and told him it was going to be raining his exact words were "can you make it any harder"

Prince was an amazing human being and an incredible musician, got to see him live in London for the Purple Rain tour and it changed me.

If you haven’t already, check out Prince , while my guitar gently weeps with Tom petty and others

one of the men behind the scenes of this show said that they called prince before the show to tell him that it rained. Princes answer was that he asked the Crew if they could make it rain harder. Prince one of the true ones.

My only answer to anytime he says he can't believe this guy is this...... its Prince, one man can make a difference. Enough said
