so far during the game they have mentioned the Bruno half time show twice and played a few seconds of Locked Out Of Heaven each time.
edit
just played the commercial that featured Count On Me.

Why not RHCP they just brought so much energy and that song is fire!
Bruno brings so much authentic talent love his energy, vocal chops, music and can work the stage somewhat. He reminds me of the stars of back in the day just working on their craft and staying out of the media, publicity machine and all nonsense.

What a wasted promo opportunity for Young Girls. Really, Treasure over that?
Really fantastic show though.

SO good. I didn't realize he had such good energy.

Per an 83 year old that I'm watching the game with when the RHCP came on he asked what this was. Music? I have to agree. Lot's of energy by Bruno and his band but we couldn't hear him sing at all. The music drowned it out. Best parts - his intro on the drums and his backward dance moves (oh and the light show). Otherwise, it was pretty much what I expected. Could have really done without the RHCP. I like a lot of their stuff but I like a singer that can sing live. This band doesn't offer that.

It was good until RHCP went crazy on stage.

A little disappointed w/the setlist. I truly enjoy his energy & presence. I was sooo waiting for him to bust out a James Brown song, but that clearly didn't happen :'( It was a nice show.

He really killed it, didn't he? Everything was on-point: the set list, his vocals, the effects and overall production...I loved every second of it. Even the RCHP were good, spastic dancing and all. It was the best halftime show in a long, long time.

No one in the group I watched with knew who Bruno Mars was so it was just something to look at until the game started again. Having said that, Bruno didn't totally bomb and I can see where I lot of people will find this show entertaining. I'm sure people that like him already will rave about his performance and he'll get a lot of positive press so it is surely a win-win for him. Good for him.

I understand 'Young Girls' is his current single, but did people really expect him to sing that sappy song when he's trying to entertain the world w/somewhat uplifting & high energy songs? C'mon now...

great performance from Bruno and like what has been said i wish there were more of his songs done and it had been longer . RHCP's were ok but it would have been better with just Bruno.

I felt kind of underwhelmed, to be honest. Also, I'm a little mad "Grenade" was not performed. He did good, though, and RHCP killed it. So glad they did "Give It Away." I much prefer that to "Californication."

For a Super Bowl Half Time show, I thought it was weak and boring. Yes, he's a great singer. But I still can't help but feel like Bon Jovi should have been there instead.

This would be superb as Grammy performance but VERY underwhelming and "meh" for a Superbowl performance...

Beyonce > Bruno
The inclusion of the Red Hot Chili Peppers was rather pointless.

Bruno is one hell of of great entertainer. Reminded me of a little bit of MJ, James brown, and Prince. He will be a superstar soon if not now.

He is amazing.... There is no other male artist out there with his talent. The whole bar was jamming to his half time performances.

Bruno did an excellent job. It's probably the best halftime show I can remember in the last few years.

I wasn't blown away or anything, but it was a good performance. It just didn't have any standout moments.

I was very bored. Each element of his performance was taking from the AMAs, VMAs, BBMAs, etc. It was like a mash up with no new elements. It was very mediocre for a Superbowl performance. The only highlighting feature will be the RHCP.
