Pink
Performing the National Anthem for one of the largest audiences in the world is a great challenge. But do it with a flue it sounds like a nightmare.
While her singing was the real show, she also caused a real hype when she spits something out right before her big performance. As the singer explained later, it was a throat lozenge.

After the perfect performance she had enough strength to kick the ass of some unsatisfied Twitter user who wrote: “If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it 1000 times. Pink sucks and if you like her singing you’re dumb #SuperBowl”
So, Pink responded:
Yeah but altleast I suck while singing our countries national anthem, and you just suck by yourself on a dirty couch. #winning https://t.co/SfLQr9hVTq

Timberlake and Selfie Kid
Justin Timberlake performed the halftime show at the Super Bowl on Sunday and it’s really impossible to say who’s more popular now 0 his performance or… a kid making selfie who has became a meme.
Here’s how it was.
Towards the end of the show, Timberlake made his way up into the crowd, where he performed the end of his medley. He stopped right next to this kid, who seemed like he was not expecting to be thrust into the center of the most-watched event of the year.
After dancing with Timberlake for a bit, the kid gets out his phone to make a selfie.
He immediately became a viral meme.

Justin Timberlake’s awkward shirt
When you a top star and performing a halftime show be ready that everybody is going to discuss your awkward elk shirt.
But the answer is simple as usual.
The point is that JT came back to the pop culture landscape this past week with an album that contained no subtlety. It’s titled Man of the Woods.
According to People, JT’s outfits for this gig was designed by Stella McCartney (daughter of that one Beatle). And the elk shirt features the artwork of British artist Martin Ridley.

The winner
Philadelphia Eagles got their first-ever Super Bowl title ending a 57-year gap between championships by beating the New England Patriots on Sunday.
Weeks ahead of the Super Bowl, police opted for hydraulic fluid (a.k.a. motor oil) for greasing poles to stop people from climbing on top of them.
Philadelphia pole climbers: meet your match tonight. As predicted, no Crisco on the poles. Instead, police are using hydraulic fluid. And it’s water resistant, too, they said, so this afternoon’s rain won’t make it any easier for you to climb. pic.twitter.com/5GvI9BRhaQ

But it didn’t work. Fans went crazy and climbing became a new challenge.

NBC’s brief blackout
The Super Bowl briefly went dark after what NBC has attributed to a “brief equipment failure” during a commercial break in the first half. Instead of any ads, viewers just saw a black screen.
NBC claims that no commercial time nor game time was missed.
If it had lost ad time, the seconds could have cost millions of ad dollars, considering a 30-second spot has been quoted to cost $5 million.
