bacardimayne Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Not sure if this has been talked about here yet. I think they're good picks. RHCP are one of the best "anthem" bands and Bruno Mars is a great singer who's absolutely huge right now. I just wish he or his songwriters would give him better material.

LightningBolt Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Bruno Mars was announced months ago. The RHCP announcement is new. Mars reportedly asked them to perform with him to appeal to older viewers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mars reportedly asked them to perform with him to appeal to older viewers. Makes sense. It's a smart formula. One older act to appeal to the dads and one contemporary pop act to appeal to the kids. Could also pave the way for some radical duets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coma16 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 That's great news! I wasn't looking forward to the halftime show this year at all but now i am. Big RHCPs fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Drama Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Grenade and Locked Out of Heaven were great songs and When I Was Your Man was the best tune of last year but sheet dat niģga fell off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
***Flawless Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) Ugh, it should be Bruno on his own (possibly with a couple of guests, being people that he's worked with). I was looking forward to it, not so much now. It's not that I dislike RHCP, I'd just prefer Bruno to have the 12 minutes to himself and not have to share it.

I'm not in the clouds thrilled with the halftime show, but it could have been a lot worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacardimayne Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 He is. A much, MUCH, shitter version, but who else could you realistically compare to MJ today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magisme Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I guess I just wouldn't. I wouldn't say there is an MJ equivalent. If I had to, maybe JT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacardimayne Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 I guess I just wouldn't. I wouldn't say there is an MJ equivalent. If I had to, maybe JT? JT could also work fair enough. I keep forgetting he's relevant again. I guess equivalent was the wrong word to use, but all I was getting at is that Bruno is probably the hottest (no homo) solo male pop-star out there right now, and the Super Bowl is just going with the hot hand, the same way they did so with MJ back in the day. There are very few to no better options they could choose from that would serve the same purpose. And we all know what happened last time JT was at the Super Bowl. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan H. Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I think RHCP and Bruno Mars will do okay together.I don't like Bruno Mars very much, but I can't really decide on a good reason why, other than I don't really care for his music. But he's talented, and his style would blend well with RHCP.It's better than The Black Eyed Peas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfuckinga Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Remember when The Stones played the half time show? Fuck, that was an awesome performance. Easily my favorite, followed by The Who, then KISS, then Prince. Sad, sad times when Bruno Mars is playing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
