MmmDani Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Not only does the super bowl halftime show get heavily scrutinised by the media, the 2018 the total viewers was 7% down from 2017 and this year it got worse (2017 - 111.3 / 2018 - 103.4 / 2019 - 98.2). She would be criticised for whatever she did there, great or not. She would also be attacked for supporting the NFL when they’re in big controversy right now. Eurovision 2018 had 186 million viewers, making it (once again) the world’s largest televised music event. Justin Timberlake performed Can’t Stop The Feeling there in 2016 (massively boosting sales). I think, now would be the perfect time to do a 13 or so minute Eurovision “Half-Time” show. It’s the perfect way to avoid controversy, avoid major scrutiny, gain more viewers and be seen as a visionary for “creating” The Eurovision “half-time” show. The performance could take place after the contestants, while voting is occurring. Appearing as a neutral party, to avoid being accused of bias towards another country Also, if she’s dropping an album at the end of the year, it gives a few months to get a second single out. Eurovision would be an incredible career move Thoughts? Link to comment
ReyonM Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I totally looooooove the idea. But.... she would get massive critics from all over the world for lipsynching at this live event. Link to comment
Guest Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I think Madonna is performing this year, plus she would have to sing live because if she was going to lip synch there her career would be over. Link to comment
MysticWomaney Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I love and hate this idea I love Eurovision I watch every year and vote but I actually hate that Justin timberlake did it a few years ago (+ he hardly actually sang) its eurovision and I think sending in Americans for the half time is going to destroy it and make it world vision and also ruin how fun and stupid it is. Also the half time is meant to celebrate that countries culture and art and whatever for the rest of Europe so they learn about that country. - as being from the UK we don’t even listen to music from other countries really (and no one in the UK watches it really compared to the rest of Europe) it’s a nice idea but ruins what Eurovision is. It was made after the war to bring Europe together every year so there’s less ammonisity (despite how controversial and political it is every year it’s still a bit of fun) Link to comment
pbarcelos Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 It would be great. She just needs convincing pre recorded vocals and rehearse the lip syncing. Link to comment
One Kiss From You Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 If it's going to be totally live i am here for it because if it's not going to be then this will hurt her legacy more but it would be so iconic to see Britney performing live at this big event! Link to comment
Isla Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 If she performs like how JT did in 2016 I'd probably watch it for once lol. Link to comment
SonOfSun Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I don't think it's a good idea, because of many reasons (playback=bad press, the focus is on the winner, nobody cares for her in Europe since 2008...) and I just don't think she's at her place at this event. Link to comment
Stifler's Mom Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Not good. Eurovision is European, Britney is not. Eurovision is all about singing live, Britney would be the least to be picked up. Europeans locals won't really care, more likely will shade for all the previous reasons. Link to comment
breathe_on_me_toxic Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Madonna's also thinking about it Link to comment

Lantis Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Doing playback at Eurovision? Lol no Link to comment
Cwazy Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I'm sure that if even JT and other boring artists have done the SB, Britney has been offered to do it on the condition that she sings live and she's turned it down, which is why we will probably never see that happen. The playback needs to die. Link to comment
Victoriab1tch Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 It's demanded that all artist sings live. Both lead vocals and background vocals has to be done live. I don't know about the acts in between, but it wouldn't make sense that anyone could use playback. And no matter how much I love Britney, that is just not going to happen. She couldn't even sing glory tracks live in pom and those are close to her natural voice I don't want her to make more of a fool of herself. It's honestly embarassing that she's lipping to 20 year old vocals. She should come back to Vegas when she's ready to rock on - I expect at least new prerecorded vocals or few songs live. She needs to find out what she wants and how she want it done. Britney don't need Eurovision and Eurovision doesn't need her, it's just not a good match. Sorry <3 Link to comment
