And now we're being told the Super Bowl halftime show will be someone named Bruno Mars? The Star-Ledger got wind of the disappointing choice by the NFL via the Los Angeles Times.
Of all the people they could have gotten from out this way and the NFL handpicks Bruno Mars? Did they learn nothing from their debacle in Detroit when, instead of having Madonna or Kid Rock or Eminem or Stevie Wonder or Aretha Franklin or Diana Ross perform in a halftime in Detroit they selected Nickelback? Though to be fair to Nickelback you couldn't tell if they were good or bad that day as they couldn't be heard over the constant booing.
So Bruno Mars it is dear readers, what say you?
Not a terrible choice, though someone from Jersey would have been preferable. (Mars is from Hawaii.) He does write or co-write his songs and plays the guitar. He has stage presence. He has a Grammy Award, an American Music Award, a Billboard Music Award and a BRIT Award, plus five number-one singles and six top ten singles.
ReplyDeleteI know he's had a couple big songs but it just seems to be they either want a huge hitmaker or someone very familiar. With all the NJ/NY artists they could have grabbed I think this choice is dodgy at best.
ReplyDeleteAs always hoping for the best.
