Super Bowl halftime show

[Boca Vol]

I didn't really know who Bruno Mars was but I thought he did a nice job. The RHCP's on the other hand had me wishing for another Up With People halftime show from the early '80's. They sucked.

The best one was Tom Petty's from a few years ago.

I agree - would put Prince right up there too.

I'm not a Beyonce fan but thought her show was great.

This one was not bad but didn't do much for me

I think Bruno Mars has a bland style of radio-friendly pop and isn't really SB halftime material.

I thought it was entertaining. Singing, dancing, some old school, some big band, remix included House of Pain, Chili's still bringing it. If your head wasn't bobbing a little you lack rhythm anywho.

at first I thought it was The Police coming out to play but was disappointed to look up and see Russell Wilson also doing the halftime show

I agree. If I were to take the level of superstar one needed to be to perform at halftime of the Super Bowl and somehow quantify it I would say Bruno Mar be lucky to be half that.

I absolutely loved it. I love that they brought back that oldies style. The look they had was just awesome.

lulz - not at you but that someone in the Superbowl thread said people that didn't like it just don't like "modern music"

I didn't even know that Bruno Mars was going to perform in the halftime show, I thought it was just RHCP... I was bummed when RHCP only had a short stint on stage, not nearly enough time.

I thought it was okay. Not a huge Bruno fan but loved RCP and thought overall it was better than most lately.

Not bad. They have certainly had worse.

Bruce Springsteen, The Rolling Stones, and The Who all come to mind.

the Black Eyed Peas sucked as well. Beyonce wasn't great, but at least she was nice to look at.

I didn't watch the Black Eyed Peas, so I can't judge, but I can imagine how bad it was.

Last one I enjoyed was probably Prince.

It felt like an episode of American Bandstand.

I had never heard of Bruno Mars until that show. He is terrible. The RHC were good but I wish I would have never learned about them not playing their instruments live.

I really enjoyed it. Bruno Mars can sing.

I really enjoyed it. Bruno Mars can sing.

He can dance too. Great performer.
