A Look Back at Justin Timberlake at That Big Football Game Halftime Show!

There are rumors swirling around that Justin Timberlake will be the Super Bowl halftime performer! Which would be awesome for a few reasons.

1. He's awesome and I love him.
2. The Super Bowl is on my birthday this year (February 4th, in case you were wondering) so it would be like a private JT concert just for me.
3. He's awesome and I love him.

However, let us go back in time. It is Throwback Thursday after all. Justin has been part of Super Bowl's past. Oh yes, with *N Sync and with Janet Jackson. (Remember that? Of course you do.)

In 2001, *N Sync, co-headlined with Aerosmith. I've argued with many people about who was the headliner of this Super Bowl. It was co-headling for sure. They go back and forth between both bands seamlessly. They were joined in a grand finale performance by Britney Spears, Nelly, and Mary J. Blige.

Also, back in 2001, MTV helped produce the halftime show so there was a skit in the beginning with Ben Stiller and I remember on MTV there was a 'Making the Halftime Show' special. All of which, I recorded on a blank tape and re-watched a million times.

Then of course there is the infamous, Janet Jackson and Justin moment. The 'wardrobe malfunction' if you will.

In 2004, I was a senior in high school and the local community center threw a Super Bowl party for students. There was so much food! They were showing the game on a huge projection screen. And even on that big screen, I wasn't sure what had just happened.

P.S. I forgot P.Diddy and Nelly were even there until right now.

P.S.S. Kid Rock was there? Why?

Caution: There might be a smidgen of boob at the end of this.

I think if Justin does indeed do the Super Bowl this year, he should invite Janet to do something. As a way of making amends. But, I bet the powers at be would not let that happen!

Or, you know what else would be cool? *N Sync reunion! And a real one this time, not the tiny one they did at the VMA's. But Beyonce already kind of did that at the Super Bowl with Destiny's Child.

I guess we will just have to wait and see!
