Critics might not have a lot of love for Justin Timberlake's Super Bowl Halftime performance, but JT definitely showed his love for Minneapolis, by honoring Prince and using the University of Minnesota marching band and dancers in the show.
JT shouted out "Minneapolis" at least three times during the show, and showed his respect for Prince by singing "I would die for you" with his likeness being flashed on what looked a bit like a bed sheet (would the hologram have been so bad)?
Rumors of a planned Prince hologram in the halftime show caused an uproar by his most ardent fans, with Sheila E leading the charge. Prince never wanted to be a hologram, she told the media, finally tweeting today,, "Family, I spoke w/Justin 2nite and he shared heartfelt words of respect for Prince & the Purple fans. I look 4wd 2 seeing what I'm sure is going 2 be a spectacular halftime show. There is no longer a hologram."
The biggest Minnesota moment came when purple lights spread outside the stadium in the shape of Prince's sign.
