5 performers who should join Lady Gaga at Super Bowl 51
By Adam Jacobs
3. R. Kelly
Let’s really shake this whole halftime show up, with the addition of bad boy of R&B, R. Kelly. Lady Gaga and R. Kelly hook up on her song “Do What You Want,” off her smash hit album Artpop. The song was her second single off the album and became a club hit with Kelly’s smooth vocals. This track is an uptempo synth-pop and R&B body mover. I could see people all over the world jumping off their couch and busting a move to this one.
Of course R Kelly is a risky pick as well, with his very publicized sex tape with an underaged female. He also famously married singer Aaliyah when she was 15, using falsified documentation. Kelly’s history is definitely tarnished but his stardom is second to none in the R&B world.
Gaga and Kelly create quite the duo on stage and I’m sure that their collaboration would be awesome to see on the biggest stage in the world, the Super Bowl. As much as the NFL doesn’t want another “wardrobe malfunction,” the combination of Lady Gaga and R Kelly could be a viral hit.
Gaga won’t be upstaged by Kelly so I expect her to push the limits and have the censors on the edge of their seats. I’m looking forward to a never before seen collaboration on Kelly’s hits like “I Believe I can Fly” or “Ignition.”
