Bruno, the enthusiasts love you simply the way you might be. Bruno Mars (and that swag!) hit the level for a blowout performance at the 2014 Pepsi Super Bowl XLVIII Halftime Show on Sunday, Feb. 2. While the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks took a spoil on the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., the 16-time Grammy Award nominee and two-time winner’s performance endured to broadcast to a staggering 198 countries.
Mars, 28, and his eight-piece band, The Hooligans, jam-packed a number of of the singer’s break hits into the 14-minute performance. The Hawaii local started off the set, fittingly enough, with young kids maintaining fingers and belting out a few lines to “Billionaire,” the Travie McCoy track that kicked off his career in 2010. The man of the hour didn’t waste anytime appearing, however, because the stadium’s lighting then shined on Mars taking part in the drums in the midst of degree. Wearing his staple gold jacket ensemble, tie, and black pants, he then stood to sing “Locked Out of Heaven” and “Treasure” along with his band.
“Runaway Baby” came next, with Mars bypassing his jazzy sound for a rockier edge. He pulled out some Michael Jackson-esque moonwalk strikes, and foreshadowed the Red Hot Chili Peppers joining him on degree by way of making a song the lyric “give it away” throughout the track. (It was previously confirmed remaining month that the veteran rock band can be joining Mars on the most-watched musical match of the 12 months.)
Eight mins in, frontman Anthony Kiedis and Flea (shirtless) and the remainder of RHCP joined Mars and the Hooligans for a fast collaboration in their 1991 song “Give It Away.” After the lads dispersed, the top of Mars’ set took a extra emotional and serious flip as movies of military carrier men and women were proven sending like to their friends and family again home. Before his final bow, Mars was left on level on my own to sing the melody “Just the Way You Are.”
