Nine-sixteenths of a second was what it took for Planet Earth to come crashing down on Janet during her performance with Justin Timberlake at the 2004 Super Bowl halftime. Whether it was a stunt or perhaps a wardrobe malfunction, the difference in aftermath between the two singers has remained vast.

In defense, a producer had claimed the Pop Singer had prepared for the outing, fondly dubbed as Nipplegate, and had bought a nipple shield for the occasion. However, Justin told Access Hollywood that giving audiences something to talk about was the priority and then attended and won two Grammys. He even performed again in the 2008 Super Bowl.
