After diva extravaganzas — Madonna and Beyoncé, the pop-soul superstar Bruno Mars brought a decidedly more organic musical vibe to the Super Bowl XLVIII Halftime Show.
The baby-faced 28-year-old’s performance, watched by millions, should be termed as ‘concert of the year’. The Super Bowl XVIII halftime show featuring Bruno Mars was quite a doubt-raiser from the start.
