Bruno Mars performed during the half time show of Super Bowl XLVIII. The show started out different than some might have expected with a drum solo from Mars.

This Bruno Mars cat is talented.

Some had him as early candidate as Super Bowl MVP:

Some thought it went down from there:

Some had high expectations.

If one of the Red Hot Chili Peppers doesn't rip off Bruno Mars' nipple cozy - Janet Jackson style - I'm going to be pissed.

Some weren’t fans.

I wish the power would go out at the Super Bowl so I don't have to hear Bruno Mars.

Some were hoping Manning would get inspired:

Lots focused on his hair:

Bruno Mars' hair makes up for 80% of his total weight.

Bruno Mars just cemented his career w/ this performance.

Then things went from hype to more sentimental with a tribute to the armed forces before playing a slower song.

General reception was positive:
