Go ask your sibling who performed half time 2008, then call your grandma and ask her about 1997. Janet's breast is the only thing GP remembers about the Super Bowl half time in recent years, trust me. Beyonce will get the press the day of/after/week next, but come next year it'll just be whatever of the BeyHive on ATRL at the time remembers.




The reason is Britney simply is not performing at half time this year. For what purpose, she's working on her next album. She was already on the stage anyway.

Belitling legends' achievements and magnifiying Britney's is still hilarious in 2013.

I don't see Rihanna as enough of an 'artist' to be part of the trinity. She's purely the vessel of talented producers and songwriters

This to be quite ****ing honest

Brit and Bey have been in two trinitys. Since then Xtina has been replaced by Gaga but the other two are still the same

I predict in the coming years Rihanna will replace one of the two B's followed shortly after by Katy replacing the other one
But to say Rih is in it now is laughable
All 5 girls are releasing this year..... Lets see who will be the weakest link

There's a difference between lip-syncing under certain circumstances and lip-syncing consistently for 10+ years.

And Madonna known for great live singing over the past three decades? what are the circumstances? BEP sung live so this is BS. Live singing is not the indication for SB

So true.

Talent plays a part of it yes. Someone who lip syncs and walks around with zero energy is not going to be selected to perform. There's a reason Beyonce will be performing & Britney will be staying at home. One is a superstar, one is a former superstar.

Or because Beyonce is in a lucrative deal with Pepsi and has a new album coming out?

Y'all do the MOST. I am excited to watch Beyonce but jesus christ, this is the entertainment industry. This is CALCULATED and PLANNED - Beyonce has an album to promote and she has a lucrative deal with Pepsi, one of the Superbowl's biggest sponsors. It is about TIMING and PURPOSE.

It has nothing to do with who is a has been and who is a better performer blah blah blah. It is a BUSINESS. Just like any other year

Isn't that for every artist? Taylor's RED certainly didn't sell on it's own. Doing promo before your album release is building hype.

Yes, and Britney barely did it yet she still went Platinum.

Over a billion, it seems.

It's a sad state that albums can't sell, but at the end of the day labels are trying to push digital downloads.
And if you ain't doing it..

Of course singles are going to sell more then albums. They are cheaper. Album sales will always trump single sales. No matter how many people are buying them. The profit margin from selling singles doesn't equal what album sales do.

She's on a league of her own.

I'm talking albums, not singles ringtones, ringbacks and other $1 foolishness and the fact remains that 4 outsold Femme Fatale.

Why include Rihanna in your "trinity" when she's already surpassed them?

Now address why she was offered it and not Rihanna or any other major pop artist with an album out now or an album coming out soon.

Basically.

It's a bit sad for Ri that Gaga's been around for half the time and gets more recognition.

That's why I told him to let it out! Get that frustration out. The excuses...

Beyoncé and Britney will always have a place in the trinity. I don't care how many times they flopped or aren't "relevant", they have rightfully earned their place in history and therefore, they deserve to be the top tiers in any trinity.

A trinity should be for someone who has or is making their way into legendary status. Gaga, Katy, or Rihanna do NOT belong in any trinity with these two.

Yes, imo she took Bey's seat.
And I think Katy replaced Britney. (Britney is iconic, but I think she's not in the so-called "Pop-Trinity" anymore)
