Part James Brown, part Michael Jackson. It was a great performance.
I don’t like James Brown or Michael Jackson. I think these half-time shows need to be abolished. :p
Bruno: good
RHCP: BAD!
For those who missed it, heres his full 14 minute halftime show performance at the Superbowl:

The performance wore its sources well, doubling as a history lesson in song.
The songs Mars offered represented a virtual pop nexus of the last 40 years, touching on bouncy 60s Motown (Reminding me of the Temptations), fun 70s disco funk, slick 80s pop and a hint of modern hip-hop-flash. At one point, he even referenced James Browns fast-footed dance moves.
Most of all, it was well... decent, old school entertainment.
Agree. Not a “fan” of his music but it was a great performance. Best since Prince IMHO.
agreed....Red Hot Chili Peppers ruined it...my 10YO daughter is an accomplished dancer and when he did the James Brown moves i heard “oh- wow!” from her...
