Nice. They'd kill it if Robin Thicke made a cameo with Blurred Lines. May rank as best SB performance like evers.
Black Eyed Peas, Madonna,Foo Fighters were busy?
No way. Far too many concerns about Miguel potentially landing a Leg Drop from Hell on an unsuspecting fan.Good Ol' J.R. with the call...Why not have Miguel instead?
i woulda figured "Target Audience" as men 25 to 54....you know, the people actually watching the SB.Black Eyed Peas, Madonna, Shakira, Keith Urban, Ryan Seacrest, Bruno Mars. The target audience=middle-aged white suburbanite women.Foo Fighters were busy?
the Tedy Bruschi who saved puppies from a burning car?Does anyone else think that Bruno Mars looks like a miniature version of Tedy Bruschi?
Because he's no where as near as big a crossover star?Why not have Miguel instead?
If someone has done the host/musical act SNL double, it's a safe bet that he or she is a pretty big pop star. You'd have to pretty studiously avoid pop music to have not heard of him.I have honest to God never heard of this dude until today. I thought I was still somewhat in tune with pop culture and music. He seems to have a small devoted following but not as huge as Beyonce and the other past acts.
I guess they are running out of vanilla acts that will not cause a stir
Music is getting too fractured for one act to permeate the noise and be universally recognized by all demographics.If someone has done the host/musical act SNL double, it's a safe bet that he or she is a pretty big pop star.

Looking at the list of the top selling albums of all time, there is only one album in the top 15 in the 21st century. And its the Beatles.
In the top 40 most selling albums of all time, only one modern artist is listed. Adele with the album 21 (2011), ranked at #36. Norah Jones: Come Away With me (2002) is ranked at #43. Linkin Park: Hybrid Theory (2000) is ranked #49. Eninem: The Marshal Mathers LP (2000) is ranked at #54. Britney Spears: Oops I Did It Again (2000) is ranked #58. Usher: Confessions (2004) is ranked #70. That's it. Unless you want to say the 21st century started in 2001, then only 3 albums made the top 70 this century.
I dunno if it really helps the music industry to have Bruno Mars out there. Might be good for his fans, but for everyone else, it risks reminding people just how irrelevant modern music is.Don't we have a thread like this every year? You're not going to be able to please everybody.
And who really cares? During the Superbowl I use halftime to rehydrate and/or apologize to everyone for what I probably said in the first half.

I'm not talking about that. I'm just saying he hasn't sold a lot of records. So he's relatively an unknown.I dunno if it really helps the music industry to have Bruno Mars out there.
