Justin Timberlake returns for his third Super Bowl halftime show on Sunday night from Minneapolis. Where will JT rank on the list of modern halftime shows? Can he top his performance with Britney and Aerosmith? Could it possibly get as infamous as his dance with Janet Jackson? Read on for our rankings of all 25 performances since Super Bowl halftime became the biggest spectacle in America.

1. Lady Gaga (2017)

While the Patriots-Falcons Super Bowl may have been the greatest in history, there’s little doubt that the Lady Gaga halftime show was definitely the best to ever hit the Super Bowl stage.

Displacing the King of the Pop and father of the modern Super Bowl halftime show, Gaga put on an even greater display last February than Tom Brady and the guy who stole Tom Brady’s jersey. She commanded the stage more than anyone since our No. 2 performer did almost a quarter-century before, san her biggest hits and put on a spectacle worthy of the biggest stage in sports or music.

In a span of 12 minutes, Gaga jumped off the roof (the bit was prerecorded but she still leapt from up there), played a keytar dressed in a jacket it looks like she borrowed from Gene Simmons and painted gold, slowed down a massive performance to sing a ballad as fans participated in a stirring light show, and then donned shoulder pads and midriff shirt to sing “Poker Face” as fire and fireworks surrounded her – a pyrotechnic paradise. For her finale, Gaga jumped off the stage and caught a football, which gave her more second-half yardage than the entire Falcons offense. Whether there was one person on stage or 50, you couldn’t take your eyes off Lady Gaga. She didn’t command the stage. She demanded it.

Before playing “Million Reasons” on the piano, Gaga told the crowd, “we’re here to make you feel good.” Mission accomplished.

2. Michael Jackson (1993)

I’ve written rapturously about MJ’s performance at Super Bowl XXVII. It was the birth of the superstar-driven halftime show and, as Michael Jackson was wont to do, he turned it up to 11. His entrance shot him out onto the middle of the stage, where he stood motionless for a full 90 seconds, building the tension, setting the stakes and waiting just long enough where you wondered, “is he going to ever do this?” Then he took off his sunglasses and, oh boy, did he ever. Why is this No. 2 on the list now? Two reasons. 1) His setlist was bad. He played five songs – one classic (“Billie Jean”), two acceptable (“Jam,” “Black and White”) and two cloyingly bad ones with the same exact trite message (“We Are The World,” “Heal The World.”) No “Beat It.” No “Man In The Mirror.” No “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough.” No “Thriller.” No “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’.” No “Smooth Criminal.” No “Human Nature.” And I could go on and on and on and on. MJ gets the biggest showcase of his life and sings “Heal the World,” which has all the lyrical power of a third-grader’s class poem about Earth Day. That’s unacceptable for a man who had an entire album of classics. 2) Capping the performance with dozens of children surrounding him – let’s just say it hasn’t aged well.

3. Janet Jackson, Justin Timberlake, Puff Daddy, Nelly, Kid Rock (2004)

Who would have thought that a performance beginning with the lyrics “nice package all right, guess I’m gonna have to ride it tonight” would end in controversy? I’m shocked! SHOCKED! Janet put on the best show since her brother and Justin Timberlake was a perfect guest (which, as you’ll see, is rare at these things). The wardrobe malfunction gets all the press but when you look back at it, the two-second incident was fairly tame. The camera was zoomed out and there was less skin displayed than every single picture in all Sports Illustrated swimsuit issues from 1987 onward. Puritans. (I was going to deduct points for the fact that Puffy, Nelly and Kid Rock took over the show for a few minutes but then Diddy did “Mo Money Mo Problems” and all was right with the world.)

4. Diana Ross (1996)

Miss Ross makes nine wardrobe changes and then leaves the stadium on an actual helicopter. But even that exit wasn’t as stunning as the opening of her show, when Ross did the unthinkable: She actually sang. (Some Super Bowl artists can’t be bothered to even plug in their instruments.) A backing vocal track may have come on near the end of the 12-minute show, but the former head of The Supremes was definitely singing live when she started with a medley of her greatest ’60s hits. (It’s a move other artists should use more often. Not the Supremes part, or the live part, but a medley of their own hits. Though, come to think of it, doing a medley of Supremes songs would have made 75% of these shows instantly better.) Look, I enjoy Mariah Carey and Beyonce as much as the next human, but they’ll always be playing catch-up to the original pop diva.

5. Beyonce, with Destiny’s Child (2013)

I wish I’d kept the email Beyonce’s publicist sent in which she complained about the photos used in my review of the show, photos in which Beyonce doesn’t look like the goddess she is but what she was during that show: a hard-working, sweating, dance-machine woman putting on a strenuous live performance that would’ve tired out Katie Ledecky. Of course you’re going to make some unflattering faces when sprinting around a stage for 12 minutes while belting out “Bootylicious.” Anyway, Buzzfeed kept the second part of their letter. Enjoy it here.
