U2 in slight lead ahead Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake
“Who had the best Super Bowl halftime show?” is the poll question at the L.A. 
Times‘ Fabulous Forum blog. Hard to believe that as I write this, U2’s thrilling, unforgettable, highly emotional - and classy - 2002 halftime show leads by just 8 votes over J.J. and J.T.’s “mishap.”
But U2 has quite a gap to overcome if the “best band in the world” is to win this matchup against halftime performances from The Rolling Stones and Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. So go cast your vote.

I don’t think we’re going to be able to overcome Bruce Springsteen’s commanding lead… He did put on a good performance, though…
I love when its so obvious that results have been tampered with. U2’s halftime show is miles ahead of everyone else. Not only was the music and performance amazing, the setting and mood was unlike any other and totally emotionally gripping.
The U2 half time show is the only one I can remember.
Looks like Billboard ranked them at #3:

i love bruce, but 31000 votes - someone has alot of time on their hands to sit on the internet and vote.
I have to agree with most of the comments here. I like Bruce and the E, but did anyone actually watch his Super Bowl performance? It was actually pretty embarrassing and showcased an aging rocker trying way too hard to still appear young and hip. In my opinion, Americans have a very short memory and they vote for the most recent one coz it’s all they recall….
