Will Missy Elliott get her freak on at Super Bowl halftime show?
A contact familiar with the plans for Sunday’s halftime show told The Associated Press on Thursday that Grammy winner Missy Elliott is going to be gracing the stage with her presence, alongside Perry’s performance. It’s supposed to be a surprise but that is a hopeless wish in the days of the Internet. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because Elliott’s participation had not been announced by the NFL. SEE ALSO: Fly away with Lenny Kravitz at the Super Bowl halftime show This anonymous source isn’t the only clue of Elliott’s surprise appearance. During a news conference Thursday, Katy Perry herself hinted at Elliott’s involvement in the Super Bowl act, which also will feature Lenny Kravitz. Perry and Elliott have worked together before in 2011 when Elliott was featured on a remix of Perry’s song “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)”. Perry said the halftime show will include an “old school” female singer but did not say who that would be. “When you hear the first ring of the chord,” Perry promised, “I think jaws will drop and faces will melt.” Elliott is a multiplatinum rapper, singer and producer whose Grammy Awards from the early 2000s include Best Rap Solo Performance for “Get Ur Freak On,” and Best Female Rap Solo Performance for “Work It” and “Scream a.k.a. Itchin’.” Other Super Bowl halftime shows have included unannounced performances, including by singer Usher and former Guns ‘N Roses guitarist Slash in 2011.
