What’s insane to me is that this is pre-uptown funk, 24k magic, and silksonic. He could do another halftime show with just the hits since his last one. What a star.
I had a hard time picking between this and prince's halftime show. But for me this comes 2nd to prince. Purple Rain played in the pouring rain was just both magical and divine.
And he‘s probably the best live singer of the last years! Don‘t get me wrong the others are great aswell but his voice just hits every note and sounds so powerful live!
What makes his and Prince’s HT shows a couple of the best ever is that they both were so loose and in charge. You never got the sense that they were over rehearsed, and felt like anything could happen. Without knowing that the Chili peppers would be there, you could imagine him just singing “give it away now” as a total improv because he was soooo relaxed and charismatic and confident as hell.
@@josephperez2327 I think it’ll be less than that Edit: Buccaneers games had 16,000 capacity (same stadium) so if they stick with the same capacity, that’s how many people will be in the crowd for the super bowl
@@emilyhill8598 Prince is playing for second place. This performance was the best Super Bowl performance by far. Just musical perfection. Prince's guitar solos were a mess in some of his songs. It was harsh. Bruno coming out doing an amazing drumming solo. Perfection. This had pure stadium energy. Metlife is huge. The crowd went bananas there.
Prince cant touch this 😂 Dance sing play music instrument tribute to soldiers MJ 1A Bruno 1B then theres beyonce i dont know about prince his performance doesnt transcend generations
This is a damn near perfect halftime show. The song choice, the spectacle, the transitions, the intro, and the balls Bruno had to start his appearance on drums and end with a ballad....all of this is cold-blooded badassery
@LeVaughn Scott It is if one has been literally jumping up and down with the RHCP for 5 minutes, then walking back to a platform and singing solo through a live mic (not lip-synched or with a backing voice-over) and still having such feeling, breath control and tone. That is unusual...and, as Bradley said, cold-blooded badassery.
One wonders, is this the best halftime show ever? Or was it Prince in the downpour? (And some say Michael Jackson.) It's really a tough call between the three? I'm tempted just by an edge margin to go with Prince (RIP) in the downpour, but this performance by Bruno Mars is just as sensational these many years later. Raw and exceptional talent.
Yeah I'm that one try hard bruno fan and watch all his major live performances. And they're even better then the studio version. He also likes to do extra to prove that it's not auto tune 👌
I mean, he had been performing since he was 2, so that would make him 6 in 2014. :) Seriously, though, I haven't seen talent like Bruno since the very early 90s, and he is on par with the greatest performers of all time. He is a born entertainer.
Great minds think alike. Funny thing is that I'm a rocker and I would prefer they let rock bands play... but there is no denying that Bruno and MJ simply stunned the crowd with their performances. Outstanding!!! BTW Bruno was better than MJ... yea I know.
Just saw Rhianna’s half times show. Let’s just say I love when performers focus on their music over dance routines. Bruno really put his voice front and center and that’s why this is STILL my favorite halftime show. Benzo knows!
It’s the biggest sporting event but the sporting event isn’t eclipsed by half-time entertainment. You could put Adele on at halftime, it will be an afterthought.
You know why I think this halftime show was so enjoyable? Obviously Bruno is full of pure talent and a natural entertainer, BUT! The choice to have a smaller stage setup with audience participation up close made it feel like I was at the show even though I was in my living room. Added so much energy instead of trying to fill up this giant stadium with dancers and a crazy stage setup. Bruno didn’t need a spectacle, he and his band WERE the spectacle. Every choice he made worked so well. 10/10.
No 5 seconds of 50 songs. Just a few of the greatest hits from start to finish with no remix, or a spectacle. Just pure instrument and voice. This his hands down the best show.
@@ehj1122 because he only had like 2 hits at them time lol that’s why he could perform almost the whole songs. Bruno today would have to speed through his set because he has more hits.
Definitely. Even doing the exact same show would be batter than all shows we had ever since combined 😆 Just put some Uptown Funk FIRE in the space left by RHCP, boom. Done.
STILL the best Super Bowl performance of the last 10 years. I find myself coming back periodically but almost always after the Super Bowl performances every year.
This was easly in the top three only behind MJ and Prince. One of the very last musicians that dont just make four chord summer songs, but actually plays and sings live, dances like nobody else alive and modernised the art of funk and soul. One of the very few of our generation that deserves his place next to the likes of Michael, James Brown, Prince, Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder.
Bruno Mars is so talented. He combined a lot of his talents into this performance. That is why this performance is one of the best (if not the best) Halftime show performances ever.
Not for me, I mean I love Bruno Mars but he's way better than this, I was expecting something like Timberlake halftime with Bruno dancing all over de stadium with nice choreographys and all that stuff, what he did is an incredible concert but a "meh" halftime show
This Super Bowl was in New Jersey they should have got Bruce Springsteen to play. Springsteen rocks the armpit state I went to one of his concerts in Newark it was epic.
The visual of Bruno standing solo surrounded by lights and fireworks for the final number, belting out his voice with confidence and passion, is straight out of a movie. My all time favorite half time show. Doubt it will ever be topped!
I love how Bruno just gave them the stage and paid due respect and jammed out in the back. Both did an excellent job. RHCP just has that energy that can take the spotlight off anybody without trying especially this song.
@@aaronaustin9814 yeah until beyoncé and bruno shows up 😆 the views on the cutted performance of beyoncé and bruno was like 112M views while the whole performance with coldplay was like 66M 😩
I remember watching this performance with my Dad, who was 80 years old at the time. After it was over, he was just smiling, and said in his quiet way, "The young man knows how to put on an enjoyable show, doesn't he?" :D
The most talented man on the planet. Is there any thing he can't do? Plays all instruments, sings, dances, writes, produces, he's amazing just the way he is.
Big fan of Dr. Dre, but this will always be my favorite Super Bowl performance. Bruno is a very talented man! This man killed the drums, killed the choreography, and killed the vocals.
Bruno Mars closed the Superbowl halftime show with a ballad. A ballad. And STILL brought the whole freaking house down. That's how good this performance was.
I think what makes this a great show is that Burno just sang his heart out and sang well. He didn't need a big dance crew or a big band. Just really great vocals
Years ago my 2 daughters saw him at the Hard Rock Cafe here in Boston. They both said it was the best concert they ever saw...& that's saying something for my oldest, she's seen almost every big name out there.
I like Bruno but in 1993, Michael Jackson's halftime show was the best, in my opinion. It was absolutely over the top. The only performer and he had the NFL give the money for his performance to his charity, 'Heal LA' for struggling youth.
@@sussqueaky5190 I agree. It was nice this year but out of all the 10 Superbowl that I saw, the only halftime show that always really stuck to my mind was Bruno Mars'. And I think besides me liking his performance the fact that it was dark also helped. That usually makes shows even better for me. Snoop Dog, Eminem and the others performed in daylight. Somehow it felt less special and more like it was just a random afternoon
I absolutely love this show with all the classy, old-school James Brown R&B style, but when it comes to best halftime show ever, I’m reminded of Paul McCartney, Tom Petty, Prince, and U2 (who gave a passionate, emotional performance mere months after 9/11.)
When he was fired by Motown it took him 7 years to get another contract with a recording company. He made it back in the business by writing for others. If he had a recording contract all those years we would have had more albums from him. Blame Motown.
Whats amazing is the way Bruno honored the service men and women of the military, so unheard of from today's artists. By far STILL the BEST performance!
Well I think pretty much all pop stars have a whole lot more talent than most people understand or give them credit for, but Bruno Mars is in absolutely exceptional musician in every sense. His music is not even my style (at all), but I’m in awe of this live show. I believe it’s at the absolute limit of the humanly possible.
@@nara5344 what does covid have to do with the environment? Unless you’re implying our go now using covid as a power grab to implement environmental policies 😲
I remember hearing about critics saying that Bruno Mars wasn't ready for a superbowl halftime show, like he doesn't have his own scent or cologne like he's he's not that much of a star, this night Bruno Mars rocked the world and proved them wrong. You're the man Bruno 🔥🔥🔥
I think it was mostly saying it was to early for him. I kinda agree as he only had a two albums out at that time. But hot damn he put out an incredible performance
LOL I remember being all excited about it and my coworker was like, why did they ask him? The next day at work he admitted it was amazing. I don't know one person who didn't like this show.
I had to encourage my coworker to watch it. He thought an old band like the Rolling Stones or the Who should have been chosen. Bruno killed it! The best halftime show with so much energy and talent!
Time stamps Drum Solo - 1:36 Locked Out of Heaven - 2:30 Treasure - 4:40 Runaway Baby - 5:55 Bridge to Give it Away - 7:59 Give it Away - 8:09 Just the Way You Are - 11:34

If Bruno were ever to return to the Super Bowl for one last halftime show, he needs to do 24k Magic and Silk Sonic. I mean, Anderson was at this year's halftime show destroying on the drums.
I remember when it was announced Bruno would be the halftime show. Some said he wasn't famous enough. I wonder what they're saying now. This was by far one of the best shows ever!! Bruno is an amazingly talented man and is one of the hottest singers/dancers today 😍
@@CaptainFracture Yes I worked with someone who said this, he laughed at me when I said I was excited for it. That Monday at work he had to admit I was right.
Ok, Bruno was a top hitter, and I agree his set was amazing, but I can't help but feel if we waited a few years for Uptown Funk and some 24K tracks, we could have had this hit even harder. Just me though.
@@christophersabas1975 he also has a song on the 24k magic album called perm and it would be amazing if they performed this at the superbowl. Check out his performance at the Apollo theatre for perm.
I was one of the lucky fortunate souls who got to watch this live at the stadium (near the front @ 20 yard line) and I must say, there has never been a performance that I have seen that comes even close to this (and I lived in Las Vegas for 10 years and have seen just about every show). What a beautiful night it was... plus I was there as a life long Seahawks fan and seeing my city win their first major sports championship in my life with my only brother no less, right after I got back from a deployment. I must say without a doubt that this was the best night of my life. Thanks Bruno for making it unbelievably special!
The thing that makes this the best halftime show for me is there is little reliance on props and it puts the performance, talent and energy front and center. No giant moving machines, no jumping from random places, no fancy room changes, just pure energy, performance, and fun!
Yea this and Michaels were the best most definitely! The fact that he channeled Michael in some of his dance moves as well as James Brown made this even more awesome!
Definitely one of the best halftime shows I’ve ever seen. Perfectly paced, never lags. The drumming, the James Brown steps. Then because he knows we’d want to see it again - the James Brown steps again! What a showman. And one of the best transitions to the guest act ever. So smooth and perfect and sets RHCP up for a classic few minutes of punk funk mayhem! So glad this can be viewed on RUclips.
Bruno did this early in his career, he was only two albums in. This was before 24K Magic, I’d love to see him get another shot especially with his later music.
This is better than most halftime shows and IDK why the Red Hot Chili Peppers getting so much hate That transition from a hard rock song to a peaceful romantic song was amazing and well executed.
I think it was just a jarring break from this sorta modern pop take on classic James Brown-esque R&B that was rolling along so well to all of the sudden having these intense, shirtless, tattooed guys jump out head banging. I like the RHCP and am fine with that, but for a lot of viewers it was just too much and too big of a change of mode.
Every year I compare every new Super Bowl Halftime performance to this master piece. For me this is the GOAT of Halftime performances. Bruno is a born showman.
This halftime show still brings me to tears ar the end. Honestly the best half time show and the best version of 'Just the Way You Are' I've ever heard. Came here after the Weeknds because I didn't really like it and the fact he didn't have a guest star....
We need another Bruno Mars half-time show! Especially with the Silk Sonic album he and Anderson Paak released! It would be another show with great entertainment and music!
The level of musicianship in this show is absolutely mind-boggling. I’ve seen it a few times, but I’m sitting here again, shaking my head in utter amazement. (After wiping the tears from my eyes.) Most non-musicians will probably have a harder time seeing how perfect (in the best possible sense) this show is. It takes not only years and years of hard work to become as good as everyone involved was (musicians, techs, ...), but also whole-hearted passion to play and sing your heart out like everyone on stage did.
I love hearing this from true musicians. Bruno Mars is the real deal. No matter what type of music you like, everyone can agree this guy is talented. That is so rare.
Not even Justin Timberlake could make a Super Bowl halftime show this entertaining. His album sales shot up just from this performance. No one's been able to top it ever since. Rhcp is the icing on the cake.
Alone with a Mic in the middle of 50 000 people, a Drum solo to start, the splits..... That was Fearless. A bonafide Star, no one is going to get the coverage that Elvis and the Beatles got any more, but I think this guy came very close.
I'm partial to Tom Petty's, just cause he's one of my favorite artists to ever perform, but I have to agree, Bruno absolutely KILLED it. It's MJ, then Prince, then Tom, then Bruno, and then The Who for me.
NOT even DRE AND SNOOP ! Hype up the crowed at Super Bowl like this young Man ! Bruno Mars still undefeated in super bowl half time show! 💯💢 ! 2022 ! 🏈 Brought me back here 👍🏾
What’s insane to me is that this is pre-uptown funk, 24k magic, and silksonic. He could do another halftime show with just the hits since his last one. What a star.
He's always been amazing artist and performer. I'm honestly shocked that it took so many bangers for people to finally take notice
Agreed 💯
And don't forget about all the hits that he wrote for Adele and many others....
He would have the best one if he did it again
I know right?!? insane
Yeah but these tracks are about a million times better than the ones you mentioned.

well only the vocals were live as I recall. I think the drum solo was live, but all others are recorded@@shannonmaginity3497
RHCP did fantastic too
He is ok
Bruno still has the greatest Halftime Show EVER
Indeed! Pure talent! 💥💥💥
Agree.
I respect your opinion.
But for me MJ is the BEST. and will forever be the BEST.
He’s top 3 but what about Prince’s?
@@jeffreynacar8752 whuut? Don't compare bruno to that lousy pop songs.
This one is unforgettable show
0% special effect needed
100% performance
Bruno mars was born to perform live. Actually insane how good he sounds
Yes!!!! And he has all the moves. Like Michael Jackson + Elvis combined.
@jennifergersch9126, if I remember right, he was an Elvis impersonater as a kid
Years ago my 2 daughters saw him at the Hard Rock Cafe here in Boston. They both said it was the best concert they ever saw...& that's saying something for my oldest, she's seen almost every big name out there.
I don’t care what anyone says, BRUNO MARS HANDS DOWN HAD THE BEST SUPERBOWL HALFTIME SHOW E V E R
Prince is definitely number 1 for me but this is without a doubt a close second
I like Bruno but in 1993, Michael Jackson's halftime show was the best, in my opinion. It was absolutely over the top. The only performer and he had the NFL give the money for his performance to his charity, 'Heal LA' for struggling youth.
For me, This is the BEST halftime show ever. It’s probably because it has the touch of feelings for our Soldiers
Fr like the halftime with Dr Dre & Snoop was cool but this is still one of the best ones with Coldplay in my opinion
Fr Fr, i still get emotional, was overseas and just made it home to see this with my family.
@@sussqueaky5190 I agree. It was nice this year but out of all the 10 Superbowl that I saw, the only halftime show that always really stuck to my mind was Bruno Mars'.
And I think besides me liking his performance the fact that it was dark also helped. That usually makes shows even better for me. Snoop Dog, Eminem and the others performed in daylight. Somehow it felt less special and more like it was just a random afternoon
I love the Prince half time as well!
I absolutely love this show with all the classy, old-school James Brown R&B style, but when it comes to best halftime show ever, I’m reminded of Paul McCartney, Tom Petty, Prince, and U2 (who gave a passionate, emotional performance mere months after 9/11.)
Reminder Bruno headlined the halftime show with just 2 albums.
And just 4 years on the industry
And the youngest
When he was fired by Motown it took him 7 years to get another contract with a recording company. He made it back in the business by writing for others. If he had a recording contract all those years we would have had more albums from him. Blame Motown.
Now that's power
Yeah he was born for this, literally impersonating elvis Presley at age 4 he probably knew he'd be performing at the superbowl.
100% Voice 0% Playback. THE BEST!
blows my mind whenever i come back to this! live live live
All the music was pre recorded though
@@mackstewart4203I don’t think it was Bruno can sing live like crazy
@@ReviewReview-ib3po singing was live but music was recorded
@@mackstewart4203 Just Like I SAID
Whats amazing is the way Bruno honored the service men and women of the military, so unheard of from today's artists.
By far STILL the BEST performance!
Say what you want about him, but Bruno Mars is one of the few pop stars with actual talent nowadays. And he sure knows how to put on a show.
Agree 💯 % ! 🙌💪🙏🏻
And it's his charisma that makes him stand out infront of the rest. The Weeknd's got the voice but he isn't charismatic.
It's the talent and the charisma! The man has stage presence beyond stage presence!
Well I think pretty much all pop stars have a whole lot more talent than most people understand or give them credit for, but Bruno Mars is in absolutely exceptional musician in every sense. His music is not even my style (at all), but I’m in awe of this live show. I believe it’s at the absolute limit of the humanly possible.
@@TheWriterNWhe can also play eight instruments. Most of the instruments on Doo-Wops and Hooligans were done by him
Yes, everyone here in 2024. This Halftime show is still in the Top 5!
Top 1 you mean
Loved the Dre one. But this for sure in top 5!!!
Prince, Jackson, Stones, U2, and him are my top 5
Bring Bruno back to Half Time please!!!❤❤❤
@@maximummac223hard agree with MJ and especially Prince. But I feel the stones were a bit hyped.
Ahhhhhh, the Pre Covid Era.
We can tell our kids that we knew this area and that it will never come back again

Who is listening in 2024?! Bruno is the best performer ever
I remember hearing about critics saying that Bruno Mars wasn't ready for a superbowl halftime show, like he doesn't have his own scent or cologne like he's he's not that much of a star, this night Bruno Mars rocked the world and proved them wrong. You're the man Bruno 🔥🔥🔥
I think it was mostly saying it was to early for him. I kinda agree as he only had a two albums out at that time. But hot damn he put out an incredible performance
I remember being upset when they announced him as the halftime act. But then he got on those drums basically through a pie in my face. Amazing show.
LOL I remember being all excited about it and my coworker was like, why did they ask him? The next day at work he admitted it was amazing. I don't know one person who didn't like this show.
A pie in the face.... What a fun way to put it! :D
I had to encourage my coworker to watch it. He thought an old band like the Rolling Stones or the Who should have been chosen. Bruno killed it! The best halftime show with so much energy and talent!

If Bruno were ever to return to the Super Bowl for one last halftime show, he needs to do 24k Magic and Silk Sonic. I mean, Anderson was at this year's halftime show destroying on the drums.
Yesss
Hope they do smokin out the window lol
And uptown funk!
@@jefffinkbonner9551 maybe not that again since that happened in the halftime show with Coldplay and Beyoncé
Dude, 24k would be lit during half time. Really wish he would do this again
Who’s here after watching The Weeknd’s halftime show and still thinks Bruno Mars’ performance is the best?
i dont think so ..
Can’t lie tho besides the mic problem, the weekend performance was pretty good and a nice touch to today’s Covid society
Bro im ethiopian wekkend from my country but bruno on another planet 🤷🏽♂️
The Weeknds show was boring.
the weekend was sht lol. probably worst of all time
Time flies so fast 😮 this was 10 yrs ago???whoaah!
I came back to this performance every year after being disappointed. This was the BEST half time show!
Same.
Lol stfu brianna no one cares
@@ok-wk3li you cared enough to reply lol
You’re absolutely right Brianna, this is the best best best!!😍🙌
I remember when it was announced Bruno would be the halftime show. Some said he wasn't famous enough. I wonder what they're saying now. This was by far one of the best shows ever!! Bruno is an amazingly talented man and is one of the hottest singers/dancers today 😍
Bruh no one said this, he had #1 hits constantly.
@@CaptainFracture they prolly mean like he wasn’t around long enough
@@CaptainFracture Yes I worked with someone who said this, he laughed at me when I said I was excited for it. That Monday at work he had to admit I was right.
@@KM-ql4eb was def still at the point no one really knew live Bruno was a totally different animal than radio Bruno.
Ok, Bruno was a top hitter, and I agree his set was amazing, but I can't help but feel if we waited a few years for Uptown Funk and some 24K tracks, we could have had this hit even harder. Just me though.
America needs another Bruno Mars Halftime show... so many new great songs came after this. LEGEND!! 😍🤩
uptown funk
24k magic
thats what i like
finesse
versace on the floor
leave the door open
@@christophersabas1975 I think it would be better if he started with 24k magic that song would be the perfect intro
Not only America, greats from Germany
@@christophersabas1975 he also has a song on the 24k magic album called perm and it would be amazing if they performed this at the superbowl. Check out his performance at the Apollo theatre for perm.
I was one of the lucky fortunate souls who got to watch this live at the stadium (near the front @ 20 yard line) and I must say, there has never been a performance that I have seen that comes even close to this (and I lived in Las Vegas for 10 years and have seen just about every show). What a beautiful night it was... plus I was there as a life long Seahawks fan and seeing my city win their first major sports championship in my life with my only brother no less, right after I got back from a deployment. I must say without a doubt that this was the best night of my life. Thanks Bruno for making it unbelievably special!
The rhcp one song was legendary crowd was electric
Hell yes
The thing that makes this the best halftime show for me is there is little reliance on props and it puts the performance, talent and energy front and center. No giant moving machines, no jumping from random places, no fancy room changes, just pure energy, performance, and fun!
Agreed! And a lot of lights
Well, they did have a machine move him and his drum kit across the field. But yes it was very talent-forward and very energetic!
THIS was the best ever half time show
This performance and Michael Jackson’s are always gonna be the best half time shows because they’re so amazing
Prince was the best and it’s not close..
@@Mostly12 it's his opinion lol🤣
@@kstationofficial1626 I mean these were good but Prince played “Purple Rain” in the only super bowl it rained, it was iconic. 🐐
@@Mostly12 definitely! God himself was directing the stage too!
Yea this and Michaels were the best most definitely! The fact that he channeled Michael in some of his dance moves as well as James Brown made this even more awesome!
Still one of the BEST if not The BEST Super Bowl halftime shows bar none!!!! From intro drummer solo performance everything tip notch !! All class!!!!
I come back to this after every halftime show now because this one still hits like no other. happy superbowl 2023
Same here.
Yes sirrrr same
Nice touch that his bass drum says “Bernadette”, which is his mom’s name. :)
Oh thanks! Good to know
The weekend was trash for Súper bowl 55
@Dhock08 insta lies
@@chance4941 that's exactly why I'm here rn sobbing to how beautiful this was
That's nice
Even the NFL was shocked to see the outcome of this half time show, never expected it to be one of the best ever.
Definitely one of the best halftime shows I’ve ever seen. Perfectly paced, never lags. The drumming, the James Brown steps. Then because he knows we’d want to see it again - the James Brown steps again! What a showman. And one of the best transitions to the guest act ever. So smooth and perfect and sets RHCP up for a classic few minutes of punk funk mayhem! So glad this can be viewed on RUclips.
I came here mostly for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but not gonna lie I liked the transition into them
+Oskar Alas same
Same
Same, they should've played more of their songs honestly
@@nicknxxb1022 I'm agreed with u:')
Same
Actually makes me happy so many of us coming back to watch this and still be like “yup, still better” 😂
Bruno did this early in his career, he was only two albums in. This was before 24K Magic, I’d love to see him get another shot especially with his later music.
Performed 2 years later with Beyoncé and Coldplay
@@SuperPyrate25 Yeah, for all of five minutes. I want him to do another full halftime show
@@chloeclarke9495 true
Give it a couple more years but I'm sure he could name his price.
With silk sonic and anderson paak 🔥❤️ would be the greatest halftime show for sure
He could do another halftime show with just the hits since his last one.
7:24 ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the moment in time when Bruno Mars owned the entire planet.
absolutely!! I get chills every time!
This is better than most halftime shows and IDK why the Red Hot Chili Peppers getting so much hate That transition from a hard rock song to a peaceful romantic song was amazing and well executed.
Bro no one’s hating on RHCP
@@thehighlightreal3128 people were heavily questioning the rhcp being at the Super Bowl.
The reason was Bruno was on such a roll it would've been better to end it with Bruno. rchp should've started the show
I think it was just a jarring break from this sorta modern pop take on classic James Brown-esque R&B that was rolling along so well to all of the sudden having these intense, shirtless, tattooed guys jump out head banging. I like the RHCP and am fine with that, but for a lot of viewers it was just too much and too big of a change of mode.
@@jefffinkbonner9551 bro if RHCP weared shirt it would not be RHCP. They used to do much crazier things when they were young.
Every year I compare every new Super Bowl Halftime performance to this master piece.
For me this is the GOAT of Halftime performances.
Bruno is a born showman.
SAME!! LOL
Same
Omg same! After this, I becamea huge fan. Saw his concert five times. He is a master showman! I hope the Bruno era comes back.
That last “just the way you are” note, sheeesh. Bruno is a GOAT.
I was sitting watching the 2024 halftime show and was so disappointed and just had to come back and watch this again.
Same😂😂 my favorite halftime show
same here fr
+1 lol :D
Real
also the Prince one
This halftime show still brings me to tears ar the end. Honestly the best half time show and the best version of 'Just the Way You Are' I've ever heard.
Came here after the Weeknds because I didn't really like it and the fact he didn't have a guest star....
There is something called COVID-19 going on

THE best Super Bowl halftime show, hands down.
THE best Super Bowl halftime show, hands down.
I come here after every halftime show. He set the bar so high
Yep way too high tbh
Amen ❤
The level of musicianship in this show is absolutely mind-boggling. I’ve seen it a few times, but I’m sitting here again, shaking my head in utter amazement. (After wiping the tears from my eyes.) Most non-musicians will probably have a harder time seeing how perfect (in the best possible sense) this show is. It takes not only years and years of hard work to become as good as everyone involved was (musicians, techs, ...), but also whole-hearted passion to play and sing your heart out like everyone on stage did.
It really is, especially those transitions, they are flawless.
I love hearing this from true musicians. Bruno Mars is the real deal. No matter what type of music you like, everyone can agree this guy is talented. That is so rare.
@@KM-ql4eb So true. It’s not even my style of music (at all, actually), but this live performance just speaks volumes of what drives this man.
I love Bruno Mars. I love his musicians / backup dancers. They had the time of their lives, and it showed.
Bruno Mars needs to release new songs!
He need to get back into the studio.
@@sanderkonradsen6249 He just drop the song today!!!
Silk Sonic !

The greatest show on earth. 10 years ago. Still works. I LOVE IT
Not even Justin Timberlake could make a Super Bowl halftime show this entertaining. His album sales shot up just from this performance. No one's been able to top it ever since. Rhcp is the icing on the cake.
Alone with a Mic in the middle of 50 000 people, a Drum solo to start, the splits..... That was Fearless.
A bonafide Star, no one is going to get the coverage that Elvis and the Beatles got any more, but I think this guy came very close.
He is soooo damn talented. That drumming at the beginning, perfect singing, dancing, writing.
There is a thing called genius.....Either U got it or u don't.....AWESOME
Bruno manages to be so classic while also being modern, it’s awesome
Bruno and Prince own the best halftime shows ever. Period
Gaga was good too
Michael Jackson?
mj?
I'm partial to Tom Petty's, just cause he's one of my favorite artists to ever perform, but I have to agree, Bruno absolutely KILLED it.
It's MJ, then Prince, then Tom, then Bruno, and then The Who for me.
Watched it fifty times. Was never a real Bruno Mars fan until this. Greatest Super Bowl show in history IMO.
Likewise bruno fan.
Watch his SNL performance of 2012. Pretty great, too.
Bruno Mars is completely different live
Yep!
Bruno should do it next year agin whit all the hits he had made in the last 10 years he will perform the best all time half time show!
NOT even DRE AND SNOOP ! Hype up the crowed at Super Bowl like this young Man ! Bruno Mars still undefeated in super bowl half time show! 💯💢 ! 2022 ! 🏈 Brought me back here 👍🏾
Bruno Mars, Red Hot Chili Peppers, didn't think it would work bur, HERE WE ARE! Not only did it work it FUNKED ME UP! YOU GO, BRUNO!
This is 2023 and I’m still amazed at this man’s talent. This will always be my favorite and best super bowl halftime performance
This halftime performance won’t be matched until Bruno does another one. He’s a phenomenon.
Yes!!! Thank you!
