The Best Musical Moments at the Super Bowl - The Super Bowl's Halftime Show is probably the most-watched musical performance in the country every year, and this year will be no different, as Beyoncé was just announced as the headliner for 2013. Bey will join a long line of superstars to grace the stage on football's biggest night, where she'll try to measure up to icons like Prince and Michael Jackson, who've rocked Halftime Shows past. To celebrate Beyoncé's upcoming performance — and maybe even provide her with some inspiration — we've compiled this list of the best musical moments at the Super Bowl.

Madonna Passes the Torch - Madonna may have been a little rusty — literally — at her 2012 Halftime performance, but it was awesome seeing her show love to the next generation by having M.I.A. and Nicki Minaj as side pieces (even though the main thing we remember is M.I.A.'s middle finger).
