Was this the worst performance ever in a superbowl?

Mars is 28 and got the Chili Peppers on stage by request..thats cool in my book. Heck now we need to find someone to get Iggy Pop up there...the dude gets it..he can laugh at himself and is one of the guys..don't care for his music but wouldn't mind knowing him.

I dont listen to Bruno Mars but his performance was pretty good. Anyone saying it was bad is doing so because they think its cool.

Or they just don't like Bruno Mars and/or pop music?

Only issue is I didn't get why RHCP only got 1 song, seemed kinda weird.

This was my biggest gripe. Also seemed like a shorter halftime show than usual.

The SB is watched by more Americans than anything else so of course they are going for the most popular and "safe" act possible. Bruno was a solid choice and gave a good show. Chili Peppers added a little oomph for us older folks. No problem with them only doing 1 song, they were guests and did their biggest hit.

I don't really care for Bruno Mars music but he can sing and the performance was top notch. The women at our party were squealing like little school girls when he did his James Brown imitation so he had that going for him, which is nice.

It's been over a decade no ?
The whole "safe" era is over they've been pulling normal acts for awhile.
I believe Rams is right RHCP was there merely on request. Bruno Mars has a fantastic voice , and is a great performer. Knocking him or Adele (not VSN but people do) is silly considering they have amazing voices and the best pure ones of newer pop stars. Thought it was a really good performance and Mars validated his selection.

How about that national anthem by the way? Not bad and also way UNDER the Vegas estimation.

[Maynard]

national anthem was terrible imo. the oprah singer was a change up, which would have been fine had she not sucked.

I will resize and crop when I can. Has to be done.

It wasn't anywhere near as bad as I thought it would be. And yeah.. the Black Eyed Peas a couple years ago was far, far worse.

I dont like either but I can acknowledge him putting on a very good half time show.

Didn't really pay that much attention to Bruno Mars, but last night's performance converted me. Dude's got talent.

Aside from Prince, Mars' halftime show was the only one I actually sat through. Usually I switch channels, because most of these 'artists' don't impress me at all. Didn't bother with Weaveonce last year.
