Super Bowl 50 half-time show review

Kyle Thompson, Staff Writer

Coldplay, Beyonce, and Bruno Mars. These three names led to a disastrous half-time performance and quite possibly the worst performance in Super Bowl history. Who thought that this would be a good idea? These three artists do not go well together.

First of all, is Coldplay even relevant anymore? No one listens to them anymore; they are a joke. They are like the new Nickelback. Along with this, they only played one song that everyone knew. The rest of the time they played was just wasted.

There was hope when Bruno Mars appeared. But all of that hope disappeared when he was off cue with lip syncing. Everyone knows that most Super Bowl shows are lip synced, but he could’ve at least made it look good. Also, who thought it would be a good idea to have Bruno Mars perform in another Super Bowl half-time show? Especially since his last performance was only two years ago.

The only decent part about the performance was Beyonce because… well, it’s Beyonce. But her performance was still subpar by her standards.

When all three of them were on stage singing, it just looked awkward. Those three artists should never be on stage together. People realized that now after witnessing the half-time show.

It was said that bands like Metallica tried grabbing the spot for the Super Bowl half-time show but the NFL didn’t believe they would appeal to the audience. In all honesty, a half-time show performed by puppymonkeybaby would’ve been better than that. You can watch the full performance here if you actually want to see it.
