When Madonna was the most watched half time show more people tuned in to watch her show more than the actual game.

So it is very possible people tuned in just to watch him.

It is pretty impressive Bruno surpassed fMadonna!

Go Bruno!

Well, except for that...

I would like to see the statistics to support what you're saying about Madonna (who totally lip-synched that show).

Nielsan ratings are included in that link but Beyonce's are exaggerated a bit

I remember after her show last year they made the the viewship hours public and 90 million only watched her halftime, alot tuned out but they overhype her all the time and NFL received alot of complaints from parents.

The NFL will always receive complaints from conservative parents and those stupid parent groups.


They complained about Prince's performance, Beyonce and everyone else. that's not even a big deal.

Prince did not get nearly as many complaints as Beyonce.

I did not say that to imply that it"is a big deal" but just pointing that fact out since last year they overhyped her performance like "everyone" enjoyed it.

When she performed last year the actual game received more viewership than her halftime performance so once again I think people tuned into halftime to see Bruno not because of the actual game.

Half time performances and the actual game are two different things. There are alot of people who just watch Halftime and not the actual game so it is very possible.

The ratings show that people obviously tuned in to see Bruno perform.

MusicBanter: Facting your opinion to death since 2003.

Can't you miserable bastards stay on topic for once? Guy puts on one ****-kicker of a show, and we've got to talk about the ****ing Neilson ratings.

It's not I don't like Bruno, it's not that I don't rate him as a musician or understand his qualities but for me he's just meh.

It was decent performance but his songs are rubbish.

he'd catch a grenade for who he's never been in a committed relationship long enough to know that. Talking to the Moon feeling sorry for his own self destructive attitude, Just the Way You Are? Come on.

Writing soppy love songs, saying what he thinks women want to hear and not following his own advice he's so commercial and such a sell out.

How about writing about something interesting for once? Talking about being a billionaire, drinking, being lazy, pretending to be romantic to get sex he's about as much as a douche as you can get but because he dresses it up in nice girly songs that's ok.

I'm hoping the Bruno Mars love in ends soon. He's certainly nothing like MJ or Prince and he's not even original in what he writes about.

Soulflower

He isn't............ but NO ONE will ever be like MJ and Prince because there is ONLY one MJ and ONLY one Prince.

I think he is very refreshing in this autotune and overly sexual industry though.

He gives a good live show and sticks to the basics. He does not do the flash, special effects, gimmicks etc. I think the younger acts should do more traditional style of performing because that is really all you need

A good performer does not need other things to distract.

He is growing as an artist and his music is growing as well. I like that his music is eclectic and he is at least TRYING to do different things with his music. He is clearly and obviously inspired by alot of 60s 70s and 80s style of music and I can not knock an artist for at least trying to be creative.

I think he will get better and better over time.

That ish was dope.
