Bruno Mars
Artist
Born
Super Bowl XLVIII halftime show, February 2, 2014, with Red Hot Chili Peppers
Bruno Mars was a relatively new star when he got this slot, and he answered the doubters with a high-octane, old-school revue that leans on his band and his dancing rather than big effects. Midway through, Red Hot Chili Peppers crash in for a rowdy "Give It Away," a left turn that works far better than it should. Pick this one for musicianship over spectacle.
