From there, Beyoncé and Mars shared the stage, both upping the bar in terms of showmanship and dance moves.
Bruno Mars and producer/DJ Mark Ronson arrived at the ideal time to liven things up, mixing their massive hit “Uptown Funk” with a throwback rendition of MC Hammer’s “Too Legit to Quit”.
Dressed in black leather and gold chains, Mars worked the stage in a frenzy of choreography that could only be matched by one person…
After that, Coldplay took back the stage and performed “Clocks” while a video montage showed the many A-listers to perform halftime shows in years past – Bruce Springsteen, Michael Jackson, James Brown, etc. During the footage, Martin even sang bits of past performers’ song, including Prince’s “Purple Rain” and U2’s “Beautiful Day”. Cue the tears and nostalgic emotions while belting out Coldplay’s “Up & Up”.
“Believe In Love” a sign behind the three acts read as the performance came to a close.
For its 50th anniversary, the Super Bowl halftime show paid tribute to music of the past, present and future. His performance was later nominated for a primetime Emmy award for Outstanding Short-Format Live-Action Entertainment Program.
With more than 100 million people estimated to be tuning into the Super Bowl, likely the top U.S. television event of the year, Beyonce was ensured of maximum exposure.
“One of our favorite places to play in the world is a place called Glastonbury festival, which is a big music festival that happens in England”, he said.
