The Who May Rock the Super Bowl

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Performances, Rumors, Rock

The Who is already played three nights a week on CBS, so why not make it a fourth?

The rock band behind “Who Are You”, “Won’t Get Fooled Again” and “Baba O’Riley” (a.k.a. the three different CSI theme songs) is now rumored to be Super Bowl XLIV’s halftime act.

Although the report has not yet been confirmed by the NFL, it would be just like that network to milk a series - or band - to death.

The championship game will be played February 7, 2010 in Miami.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, R&B / Soul

After nearly three months in seclusion, Jennifer Hudson is preparing to tackle one of the biggest challenges for a singer out there. In just a few weeks, the Oscar winner will be singing the National Anthem at the Super Bowl.

The February 1st event - her first public outing since the horrific family murders - will be just one of several appearances for Hudson next month. The 27-year-old is also scheduled to perform Neil Diamond tunes at February 6th’s MusiCares Person of the Year event in Los Angeles.

Although it’s unknown whether she’ll be attending the 51st annual Grammy Awards on February 8th, the Secret Lives of Bees star is up for four awards including R&B Album of the Year and Best Female R&B Vocal Performance.

Bruce Springsteen Gearing Up for a Busy Winter

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Upcoming Releases, Rock

Springsteen fans will be celebrating a belated Christmas in early 2009. In addition to a high-profile concert in February, the legendary musician will have two new albums in stores next month.

On January 13, Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band will be offering up a Greatest Hits edition. The disc - which will be exclusively sold in Wal-Mart stores - will focus solely on songs Bruce recorded with the band. (You can see a track listing after the jump.) Two weeks later on January 27th, Working on a Dream will then make its debut. The album will consist of entirely new songs produced by four-time collaborator Brendan O’Brien.

Both releases will lead up to Springsteen’s primetime appearance during Super Bowl XLIII’s halftime show. The game will be held in Tampa, FL on Feb. 1.
