  • Welcome to watch Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 Cringe e ist halftime show moments for this list.

  • We're looking at moments from Super Bowl halftime shows that either offended people or we're just straight up awkward and cringe worthy.

  • Keep in mind, we're not necessarily saying these performances were bad, but the moments were focusing on were far more memorable than the actual performances themselves.

  • For all the wrong reasons, if you like what you're hearing to be sure to check out the full song at the link below, Baby No, baby, you like it.

  • No Number 10 Fergie singing Sweet Child of Mine, Super Bowl 45.

  • That's a nice good night that tonight's gonna be good.

  • The whole Black Eyed Peas performance at the Super Bowl was a disaster, from their stilted dance moves to their outlandish outfits.

  • When former guns and Roses guitarist slash first came out playing the opening rift.

  • A sweet child of mine, it looked as though the show could be saved.

  • But then Fergie started singing, killing any hope for Mo Mentum.

  • Instead of performing the song with her actual singing voice, she opted to try and imitate guns and roses from an Axl Rose, as if that's something Slash or anybody else wanted to hear.

  • Number nine, a Disney filled mess.

  • Super Bowl 25 In 1991 Disney produced the Super Bowl halftime show, and it's hard to pinpoint.

  • Which moment was the Quran gist?

  • It could have been the little kids dressing up like football players and cheerleaders while singing and dancing if you want.

  • Or it may have been costume Disney characters, including Minnie Mouse, Goofy and Winnie the Pooh simply being part of the show.

  • To top it all off, the main act for the halftime show was the new kids on the block, because that's the perfect group to entertain in high football fans.

  • Right, come on, Disney number eight ah, halftime show on Ice Super Bowl 26 with Dragon.

  • As part of the theme of Winter Magic, the 1992 halftime show featured performers dressed in white and blue dancing to Winter Wonderland and The Nutcracker.

  • The show also highlighted the U.

  • S.

  • Olympic skating team with notable skaters Brian Boitano and Dorothy Hammel getting a chance to show their talents on a stage that was converted to a skating rink.

  • I want we're not more way.

  • Um, unfortunately, the show was anything but magical.

  • Once again, this is yet another case of a halftime show that focuses on trying to be original rather than appealing to the average football fan.

  • Thankfully, the following year, the NFL got it right with Michael Jackson.

  • Number seven.

  • The Left Shark Super Bowl, 49 while singing Teenage Dream during the halftime show in 2015 Katy Perry was joined by two backup dancers in shark costumes within a beach setting.

  • Well made the Shark.

  • So memorable was how much the one on the left was obviously struggling to keep up with the choreography.

  • Yeah, viewers accused the shark of going rogue, and it was all anyone could talk about from the Super Bowl in the days following.

  • Let's face it, the only thing more ridiculous than a dancing shark is one that doesn't know what he's doing.

  • Number six Indiana Jones and the shameless marketing gimmick Super Bowl 29.

  • Hold on.

  • I got a bad for this halftime show Disney decided to use an Indiana Jones theme to promote a new ride, Temple of the Forbidden I, which hit Disney theme parks that year.

  • As expected, the show was a giant spectacle full of sets and characters from the film Siri's.

  • This included impersonators for Indiana Jones and Marion, who acted more like Willie from Temple of Doom, obnoxiously shouting Indy when she was in trouble.

  • Not even singers like Patti Labelle and Tony Bennett could save this train wreck Number five.

  • The fake Performance.

  • Super Bowl 48 During the Red Hot Chili Peppers guest performance at Super Bowl 48 it was apparent to some viewers the band did not have their instruments hooked up.

  • Despite the loud sounds blaring from the speakers and enthusiastic guitar picking coming from the players, this'll led to accusations that the Red Hot Chili Peppers had faked to their performance at the halftime show.

  • Shortly after the band came Clean and bassist Flea wrote a statement on the band's website explaining their actions, saying that it was the NFL's idea that quote on Lee.

  • The vocals be live and quote.

  • The base drums and guitar be pre recorded.

  • Number four maroon five Super Bowl 53 Watch.

  • Following the controversy surrounding the unwillingness of NFL teams to sign quarterback Colin Kaepernick, several musical artists declined invitations to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show.

  • In 2019 however, Maroon five stepped up to the plate and was criticized for doing so.

  • No.

  • Many believed that all major artists should have boycotted the halftime show to support Kaepernick and to punish any company that silenced the protest.

  • To defuse the controversy, the band decided to give $500,000 to Big Brothers and Big Sisters of America.

  • But the issue still hung over the band while they played their set.

  • Also shirtless Adam Levine.

  • Number three.

  • An Elvis Impersonators Magic flop Super Bowl 23.

  • Before the 19 nineties, Super Bowl halftime shows didn't focus on pop stars.

  • Case in Point, The main act for Super Bowl 20 three's halftime show in 1989 was an Elvis impersonator who performed magic tricks under the name Elvis.

  • Presto, we're not joking way.

  • During the show, Elvis Presto, accompanied by backup singers, performed a card trick where the audience was asked to pick from four cards.

  • You pick your car.

  • What happened opinions.

  • So everybody your card becomes choice depends on your card they picked was based on how loud there applause Waas.

  • Fortunately, the NFL decided not to continue in this direction for future halftime shows.

  • Number two.

  • A Tribute to Prince Super Bowl 52 Playing in Minneapolis, Justin Timberlake decided to display a video projection of prints on a large sheet as an homage to the late artist.

  • Although Timberlake reportedly promised to not use a hologram of prints during his performance, Timberlake saying, I would die for you along with the video, part of which was taken from the movie Purple Rain.

  • Although we wouldn't necessarily classify this as a hologram, fans were outraged, feeling that the act was still being disrespectful to princes memory.

  • Interestingly enough, Prince himself had previously gone on record to express disapproval of technology that brought back musical legends for collaborations, so Timberlake most likely would not have had his blessing.

  • Thank you.

  • Super Bowl 38.

  • Yeah, unsurprisingly, Justin Timberlake also takes the top spot for his appearance at the 2004 halftime show, where he removed a piece of clothing from Janet Jackson showing TV viewers her bare breast.

  • Whether this was the intended climax of the halftime show or an honest wardrobe malfunction, this incident brought the show to a screeching halt, with Jackson covering herself with a look of shame.

  • Then, of course, there was the outrage from angry parents, and the clip was shown repeatedly on television so we could relive the cringe over and over and over again.
