Ballads at SB halftime show?

Everyone keeps saying that Gaga should perform ballads at the super bowl.  

Do people normally perform ballads there? I don't think so.  I can't recall anyone singing a ballad there before. (I'm sure someone will pull out receipts of a show 40 years ago) 

The super bowl is about making people pumped!!! Not to make people sad!

I'm sure if she includes one, it won't be a super-sad ballad with lots of pauses.

Probably something like Edge of Glory that she can end strong on without being piano bound.

Imagine her having a 2-minute speech before playing a ballad in the SB :ladyhaha:

an uptempo ballad can close the show, Million Reasons would be good, or The Edge of Glory, although it would make more sense to close with an amazing vocal performance of MR, this could be Gaga's defining moment.

Some fans are wishing for Angel Down, but I don't see why she would perform a non-single

most performers usually end with a sentimental ballad, Madonna did Like A Prayer, Prince did Purple Rain, Beyonce did Halo, Bruno did Just The Way You Are, Coldplay did Fix You.

I don't think she would do Million Reasons though, too downbeat, probably TEOG

Many artists have put slower numbers in their Superbowl set. It can be a nice change of pace and add some depth to the performance.

Bruno also started his halftime show on his Drum Set:


I'm not sure there have really been any performers in recent memory who have been able to play the piano, but a piano ballad (or at least a section of Gaga at the piano) would not be so out of place if done well.

:toofunny: People don't know what a ballad is. 

Edge of Glory and Like a Prayer are not ballads. 

Million Reasons is a ballad

No, but Halo is a power ballad :shrug:

Like a Prayer is an example of a slower number, especially how she performed it at the superbowl. A slower number, like a ballad, wouldn't be so out of place when you consider that.

Ok, Halo is a great example.

Yoü and I would be perfect, but it's more of a rock ballad.

If she does any ballad, it would probably be Million Reasons, only if it does really well while it's a single. She could work it in perfectly fine.
