Bruno Mars Sets Viewership Record With SuperBowl Half-Time Show, Tops Madonna & Beyonce

Published: Tuesday 4th Feb 2014 by Rashad

brunomars/madonna/beyonce - THATGRAPEJUICE
Reports have surfaced that ‘Grenade’ crooner Bruno Mars has blown away the competition with the ratings from his top-rated Super Bowl halftime performance.

Fans may continue to debate where the Hawaiian hitmaker’s 14 minute set stacks up against the likes of Madonna, Janet Jackson, Beyonce, and Michael Jackson on the performance front, but for now, as the numbers reveal, the critics will unquestionably have to place him at #1 on the ‘most watched tally’.

As if making history for being the youngest halftime show headliner ever wasn’t enough, see Mars’ out of this world viewership reports below:

Queen of Pop Madonna has had to abdicate her throne of “most watched Super Bowl halftime show” in history to Bruno Mars, reports reveal.

Billboard:

Bruno Mars and the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ performance on Sunday night attracted the largest audience in the history of the Super Bowl, attracting 115.3 million viewers, Fox announced Monday.

That figure surpasses the prior record of 114 million set by Madonna two years ago and the 110.8 million who tuned in to see Beyonce last year. The game itself had an average viewing audience of 111.5 million viewers, the largest in history.

  3. Tiesha February 4, 2014

    He slayed. Does anyone remember who performed last year?

  4. LiL D February 4, 2014

    well, the superbowl got way mor popular this year! that’s beacuse of Beyonce 🙂

  5. Molly February 4, 2014

    That shows people really aren’t that impressed with a singing stripper Bruno is real classic talent.

  6. cocobutta February 4, 2014

    With that match being one sided I don’t blame all the audience staying tuned for the only real entertainment they were going to get.

    Great for Bruno as he is a star on the stage and gives a lot.

    When the ladies were slaying Bruno showed them this is still a MAN’s WORLD with those audience figures lol.

    Congrats to him as there is NO NEED TO HATE on him nor seethe.

  7. Molly February 4, 2014

    BRUNO IS REAL TALENT NOT RELYING ON LIP SYNCING WIND MACHINES 40 BACK UP DANCERS HE DIDN’T NEED BIG STAGE PROPS HE WASN’T PREDICTABLE LIKE OTHERS HE DID THE DAMN THING AND IM PROUD.

  8. anonymous February 4, 2014

    Congrats Bruno.

  9. Molly February 4, 2014

    I want the hive to seethe Beyonce is not the greatest out there, there are current artist out there better than her @Mark

  10. La-toya J February 4, 2014

    Beyonce is NOT the illuminati.

  11. Brandy-Stan February 4, 2014

    Well this shows the hive that Bey is becoming irrelevant lol
    Bruno had everyone watching a natural talent no lip syncing and showed he’s an ultimate artist and he refuses to bow down to a basic with Ramen noodles for hair at the Grammys with her turtle neck husband. He proved that won’t die as long as he is around . That performance was everything

  12. Love and war February 4, 2014

    Really proud to see that tbh, Bruno didn’t need gimmicks like Beyonce or Madonna which include (Elaborate stage settings, Being half naked,clinging to relevant artist, Needing 30+ back up dancers etc) He relied on his voice which music is really about nothing to extra. Congratulations Bruno you give music hope.

  13. Xoxo February 4, 2014

    Who run the world…..men
    No nudity and gimmicks needed

  14. Navy Nick February 4, 2014

    BRUNO was EPIC (which I knew he would be), been loving this dude, since day 1- I do NOT understand the hate on Beyonce tho (regardless of the stage/dancers, etc..) She can sing her b*** off live, & U all know this…so please do NOT hate on her, because this post is about how AWESOME BRUNO was; can we show him some love?!

  15. cake like lady gaga February 4, 2014

    But who believes anything from Billboard? They have proven time and time again that they are the most unreliable source of news. Miss me with that bull

  16. cake like lady gaga February 4, 2014

    But who believes anything from Billboard? They have proven time and time again that they are the most unreliable source of news. Miss me with that bull.

  17. Common Sense February 4, 2014

    Talented? Yes. Bland and boring as f***? Hell yes. Nothing about his James Brown meets Michael Jackson moves was original. I don’t even want to talk about the Red Hot Chili Peppers running around shirtless like it’s 1994. It wasn’t cute and it definitely wasn’t better than Madonna’s show.

  18. Trace February 4, 2014

    Coming from a Ciara or Tamar fan…Those two will never headline a Superbowl halftime show though, so your point?
    Beyonce>Ciara&Tamar Madonna>Tamar&Ciara..
    Grab a seat!

    Congrats Bruno…He did well!!

    1.Bruno 115.4 Million
    2.Madonna 114 Million
    3.Beyonce 110.8 Million
    Plenty of legends didn’t even do half of those numbers, when they performed!

  19. ashley February 4, 2014

    Cobgrats Bruno!!!! Been a fan since 2010,i knew he was going to do big things! So sad his mom didn’t get to see it:(

  20. ashley February 4, 2014

    *Congrats*

  21. NICKI IS QUEEN OTHER B****** TAKE A SEAT February 4, 2014

    Madonna still has the best performance (in my opinion)

  22. HOTSTUFF February 4, 2014

    his show was wayyyy Better than Beyonce’s….and i’m not saying this because of the views, i’ve said it yesterday also !….Bruno’s music is far more superior than Beyonce’s, He got those non payola monster hits ! the costumes, the lighting….omg he did that s***! and when did Bruno got so hot ? oh i know, when he did those James Brown moves >>>>>>> f*ckMeBruno . com

  23. ke$has crazy kid February 4, 2014

    He did better then Beyonce but not Madonna hers was epic.

  24. Jose February 4, 2014

    Madonna had to have 100 dancers to do all the work and she was too old to keep up with them, beyonce was typical, go Bruno hes a real talent and didnt need shock or gimmicks

  25. CIARA ARMY STAN February 4, 2014

    Everyone knows Beyonce is fake that’s why she a nasty girl.

    “Nasty put some clothes on, I told ya
    Don’t walk out your house without no clothes on, I told ya
    Girl what ya thinkin’ bout lookin’ that to’ down, I told ya”

    Y’all remember this song? Beyonce contradicts and continues to fail once again. SL*T HIVE!! LMFAO!!! CICI STANS STAND UP!!!! Bruno is a true artist!
    http://youtu.be/uk0Se9YHJBI

  26. ke$has crazy kid February 4, 2014

    lmao that song shows how much of a hypocrite beyonce really is.

  27. ke$has crazy kid February 4, 2014

    Beyonce should follow her own advice just sayin.

  28. CIARA ARMY STAN February 4, 2014

    And she has a child….. so disrespectful! But I hope she changes her nasty ways.

  29. ke$has crazy kid February 4, 2014

    hopefully ciara doesnt start makin trashy whoore music like beyonce after she has her child. cici be a good role model please.

  30. JOHNVIDAL February 4, 2014

    LOL Go Bruno!!!
    This just proves how stupid some crazy stans are. Some (and I´m saying some) Beyonce fans and Madonna fans really thought it was thanks to them that the Superbowl was having these huge ratings LOL when in reality the ratings of this event keep growing every year no matter what. Beyonce and Madonna are way more established acts than Bruno and still he was more watched. This was such a necessary lesson in humility for those type of fans.

    About Bruno: like I said yesterday he did better than them musically, obviously not visually, since those two females are known for her performances, but he really did her thing. More musicianship please! 🙂 He is really the biggest male music star in the world right now, everybody loves his songs and he is the best selling male, both albums and singles. And I´m very happy cos he is such a perfect combination of quality and commercial appeal, so rare these days.

  31. kim kardashian stan February 4, 2014

    Bruno focused on the music Beyonce focused on props.

  32. Roi February 4, 2014

    wow, that was unexpected. congrats!

  33. Just Sayin February 4, 2014

    What props did Beyoncé have that Bruno didn’t?^

  34. Benji February 4, 2014

    Lol @ people thinking those ratings were because of Bruno Mars.

  35. Stephy Tha Lambily February 4, 2014

    Great News!

    Honestly, Bruno did better than Beyonce & Madonna!

    I felt like I was watching a jam pact CONCERT.

    The energy was never low.

    The dancing was awesome.

    The visuals were great & NO DEVIL SIGNS ANYWHERE

    The Illuminati was not all over his performance like Madonna & Beyonce had in their visuals. IT was borderline discusting seeing Bey & Mad. Showing their love for the DEVIL!

    Also, Bruno was singing live & gave shine to our military.

    It was honestly the best Halftime since Janet Jackson or Prince.

    It was perfect! I loved it & I never even listened to Bruno Mars but i’ve done my research.

    Bruno has already sold over 50+ million records.
    Bruno has a net worth well over 65+ million bucks.
    Bruno mother just died & he has like a 4 BEAUTIFUL sisters.

    He also, loves Mariah Carey…

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmLzuOZ9kQI

  36. One and Only February 4, 2014

    The irony of CIARA and BRANDY stan’s talking s*** LOL TWO OF THE BIGGEST FLOPS IN THE GAME..and might I add, TWO OF THE UGLIEST as well.

    LOL@ the notion people actually tuned in just to see BRUNO, you people can’t be that naive, he was BORING beyond words.

  37. mekaela February 4, 2014

    I so agree Madonna show was whack and Beyonce all she did was show pusssy I’m so tired of seeing grown women act this way and the sad thing Bruno did not have to get naked Beyonce talk about been equal to men stop taking your clothes off on stage then u can be equal women want respect act respectable

  38. Gaga February 4, 2014

    Bruno>>>>>Mariah Carey

  39. mekaela February 4, 2014

    Soon you will see ugly camel want to sign Bruno to roc nation pathetic Jay z p Diddy is more of a business man than Jay I wish rih leave is company

  40. Lioness February 4, 2014

    When will Mooriah headline the Super Bowl?

  41. XtinaTheDiva February 4, 2014

    I don’t think the high ratings are because of Bruno. It’s just the Super Bowl hype thing. Madonna’s performance is still the very best to date!

  42. One and Only February 4, 2014

    BRANDY- 90,000 seat arena..Only 40 PEOPLE show up. FLOP!
    CIARA- Her BATHROOM,..Only SHE SHOWS UP. FLOP!

  43. RICHIE_RICH February 4, 2014

    Congrats B.Mars(He really did a wonderful job)(Non Blacks always stealing from the blacks DOE)….I still Think Beyonce show was better overall.

    You haters are just to comical. You people cling to anything that’s anti-Beyonce, but you’re fav is the lessor. No need for me to say who the lessor are cause we already know.

    Good Morning, and Happy Tuesday (Giving y’all the Miss Universe wave with a SMIRK)

  44. RICHIE_RICH February 4, 2014

    @mekaela , But you’re fav is Rihanna……..Did you forget that she’s the W**** OF BABYLON, if not I’m here to refresh you boo.

  45. quetta February 4, 2014

    Congrats bruno! & why is everyone so pressed by bey and the hive? #ourimpact

  46. Mya February 4, 2014

    Lets be real, the GAME got those views, not the halftime show. People honestly think those views were because of Bruno?

    And its funny peoples whos faves could never headline a halftime rush to this post to throw shade. I can’t.

  47. Stop the hate February 4, 2014

    How did Beyoncé make the Super Bowl more popular when she had less viewers than Madonna who performed before her? Why would Mariah carey headline Super Bowl half time show when she is known for ballads? Why are y’all so damn hateful?

  48. Stephy Tha Lambily February 4, 2014

    Why in the world would Mariah Carey do the superbowl when she aint got a dancing bone in her body!

    Mariah Carey even in her prime was not a entertainer. She is simply a singer/songwriter!

    Anyways, Madonna’s performance was not better than Bruno’s!

    All she did was dress up in some DEMONIC costume & jumped around & did arobics.

    She lipped everything & it was not nearly as hype as Bruno’s.

    Also, the public agrees Bruno was the best halftime show in a LONG ASS TIME!

    Bruno >>>> Madonna & Beyonce

    Even tho Beyonce could’ve done much better.

  49. Memo February 4, 2014

    Pendejo, I imagine people not loving Mars especially when he has several number ones and top ten songs under his betl. Delusion all the way. So, according to your logic, people love Beyoncé and Madonna less than the Super Bowl because their ratings were lower than the games.

  50. Memo February 4, 2014

    *belt

  51. fatusankoh February 4, 2014

    I watch the half time bey half time wasgreat but all the hatters were watching just to see bey record was broken I like Mas you hatemongers have a our queen is great long live queen bey

  52. JOHNVIDAL February 4, 2014

    Lol sorry for this my second comment but people are hilarious! That´s the point, of course it wasn´t Bruno Mars alone who brought in those numbers, but so weren´t Beyonce or Madonna!!! You stans are hilarious and needed this reality check. Superbowl keeps getting bigger, no matter what, it wasn´t thanks to Beyonce or Madonna (they did a great job don´t get me wrong) that they had the previous record. Grow up. Bruno did his thing musically and people loved it.

    And who is saying when will Mariah??? LOL Since when someone like Mariah do these shows? When will Adele? I´ll tell you: NEVER. She is still the biggest b**** in the music business right now though. Stay mad. Mariah is more the kind of artist that does the National Anthem, and she did it a looong time ago. So just stop being ridiculous.
    PS: I don´t care about these anthems since I´m not even American, but the two most stunning things I´ve ever heard related to them are Whitney Houston´s universal version (obviously) and Celine Dion´s “God bless America”. That´s a f****** big and hair raising voice kids 🙂

  53. royalkev February 4, 2014

    Congrats Bruno! I have t admit that I’m not a big fan (although I think Grenade is a classic), but he accomplished such a big feat so early in his career. Nothing but love, no hate!

    I can’t with these one track minded people bringing up Bey all throughout this post. Bruno has topped EVERYONE (from Madonna to Prince to MJ). Why should only the Hive be MAD? B has so many consistent performances; the Hive have absolutely no reason to feel any kind of way about Bruno. It’s really stupid to compare Bey to so many women and MEN in the industry. So many of ya’ll want for us to be bothered! When the reality is that these hates are truly the ones in their feelings, which is pretty sad (especially coming from people with questionable favs that can’t perform well to save their life)!

    *Plays Brandy’s Focus*

  54. Naomi February 4, 2014

    Why are people even trying to shade? So by your logic, Beyonce is more popular/a better performer than MJ, Janet, The Rolling Stones and the host of other legends she got more viewing figures than since you are so pressed to shade her with Bruno. And Ciara and Brandy stans of all people. Whos favs barely sell out theatres?

  55. freebreezy February 4, 2014

    What a talented young man! Unorthodox jukebox is about to surpass 6 million WW in 14 months, on the low

    WHEN WILL JUSTIN TIMBERLOCAL?

  57. Sundayluv February 4, 2014

    That just goes to show that outside of the infamous Bey Hive the majority of people NOT on twitter and blog sites know how to appreciate artists other than Beyonce. Must be depressing to live for that one person. Y’all are missing out!

  58. Gaga February 4, 2014

    Can SOMEONE please direct me to MARIAH’S vocals, I can’t seem to find them.

  59. Matthew Charlery-Smith February 4, 2014

    Oh well, that’s a significant win over Beyonce and competition considering this guy is new and doesn’t have a huge propaganda machine behind him!

    People can say whatever they like about his performance, he’s a virtually new artist at an artistic and commercial peak. It was a bit tame but he hardly just scraped by Beyonce. It’s great to see a real live singer, showman, musician and songwriter get the recognition they deserve by slamming all predecessors with hardly any hype. The Hive, who celebrate nobody but Beyonce will seethe but oh well. “LOL” to all who said his halftime show was forgettable, his ratings obviously mean it is etched in more memories than your fave! Well done Bruno!

  60. rih keeps winning – catch up heuaxih February 4, 2014

    After all that hype, beyonce got her wig snatched by Bruno. OOOP. AND HER LP has only sold 2.56 even with 17 free videos.

    RIHANNA IS GOING TO END BEYONCE’S CAREER ONCE AND FOR ALL. Have you seen beyonce at the nets game? She looked 40 years old. have you seen all her booty pictures in the last week? She is scared of Rih Rih’s s** appeal. Have you seen Rih melting our hearts by Honoring that Brazil Boy who was murdered?

    Any ways. RIH IS COMING FOR BEYONCE’S RUTA WHORA AND THEM’S BLOOD, SHE WAS IN THE STUDIO WITH ALEX DA KID, the one who produced, Radiactive for that rock group ( sold over 6 mill in the USA alone ) and Love the way you lie / I ‘m coming home. YASSSSS

    SHE HAS BEEN in the studio with Rodney jerkins
    She has been in the studio with Kuk Hurelle, who is her go to guy.

    She has been in the studio with Dj Mustard, Nicky Romero who said she is doing a new sound. The runners said they done a track for her.

    SHE WILL SNATCH BEYONCE AND END HER ONCE AND FOR ALL.

    RITA WHORA LP WILL BE PUSHED back, and back, eventually flopping and then she will ” part ways” * cough cough * dropped

    IT IS OVER ! GAGA IS GONE. BRIT has gone. Katy is doing her thang. Beyonce will be over. THIS MEANS, RIH WILL BE THE QUEEN OF POP

  61. rih keeps winning – catch up heuaxih February 4, 2014

  64. Lovebird February 4, 2014

    I knew he would break viewership numbers; he’s all talent.

    He can play instruments, sing, dance, write and produce; he is pure talent.

    Congrats Bruno, you deserve it.

  65. Lovebird February 4, 2014

    Not the Hives having meltdowns because people would rather see talent than a stripper show like the one Beyonce put on last year.

  77. JOHNVIDAL February 4, 2014

    @lovebird
    It´s unbelievable you are praising a talented guy WoW congrats LOL You don´t have any credibility when talking about live singing or instruments though. Does Rihanna do anything at all? Did you see your precious Basic Perry faking she plays the flute??? lolololol
    I think we can all agree Bruno murdered Beyonce and Madonna with musicianship while the other two killed it with the visuals and spectacle. The 3 of them did great for different reasons. And finally we can also agree that the Superbowl has huge ratings regardless of who is performing at the Halftime Show. Bruno proved this. Reality check for everybody. I swear some of you really live for these blogs and really think your fave is the greatest ever LOL

  78. TC!!! February 4, 2014

    during the time Bruno debut in 2010 he still sold more than beyonce from 2010 on he actually SELLS albums and singles but he’s overlooked all the time and his album skyrocket to the top 10 on billboard not just iTunes like some people.

  79. DIGGER BEY February 4, 2014

    While KING BRUNO SLAYED THE SB STAGE! THE QUEEN WAS DANCING HER ASS OFF! THAT B*TCH REMAIN UNBOTHERED! Meanwhile somewhere n someone’s bathroom stall……Citranny was performing Body Flop. #THE POOR STRUGGLE

  80. Hadley February 4, 2014

    I love how everyone is talking about the Hive being mad and they’re just here congratulating LOL. People acting like Beyonce has terrible figures, Bruno didn’t only trump Beyonce why only shade her? Oh her impact.

  81. DIGGER BEY February 4, 2014

    LOL I can’t…lmfao. Shouldn’t u be somewhere helping The Artshit sales???? KING BRUNO DRAGGGGGGGGED Caca sideline ass. #SELF DRAGGGING LMAO

  82. Brandys Starr February 4, 2014

    Wait is Beyonce the only other superbowl half time show he topped or something?

  83. zania February 4, 2014

    @Actually my baby Chris Brown sung for President Bush and his family, when he was 18 years old. So this is not about Chris Brown, this about Bruno Mars, showmanship without being half naked.

  84. DIGGER BEY February 4, 2014

    Blue B*tch u will DEAL @BEYONCE 3.2 MILLION WW! @Zania The Delusional H**…..of course this is about Cracky Brown. Isn’t he a pop and r&b singer like KING BRUNO. Lip Sync Brown has NEVER PUT ON A SHOW LIKE THAT! I brought lip sync brown n the conversation becausde KING BRUNO SLAYED EVERY MALE MUSICIAN WITH THOSE PERFORMANCES. LMFAO I bet President O wish he can take back that invitation now lmao. Cracky brown is PATHETIC just like u.

  85. Bey Advocate February 4, 2014

    Y’all saying beyonce was giving nudity…she’s a performer she has to move around, dip, back bend, was she supposed to do that all in an apron? You guys have to give better reasons to hate on bey lol

  86. Anne February 4, 2014

    Bruno’s final numbers are significantly higher than the initial approximation of 98 million which would have put him in fifth place. But based on the final numbers anyway all 3 had huge audiences. The top 3 in history.

  87. ROSEGOLD February 4, 2014

    Bruno is a silent slayer. His debut album sold well over 6 million, and his new album has passed 5 million. Everyone fights over female artists, while the males are out here slaying without the extra! LOL! Congrats Bruno, you did the damn thing Sunday night…. and to think he hasn’t even been in the industry for 5 years! LOL!

  88. Christian Pop Expert February 4, 2014

    Bruno did very well. He is the best, most innovative male pop star of the decade, so far. IMO, he’s superior to Justin Timberlake as an artist.

  89. zania February 4, 2014

    @Beydigger, this isn’t about CB, this about Bruno slaying Beyonce ratings. Cb doesn’t call himself king. Beyonce call her self King b and Jesus, so she will always get attack by everyone, because isn’t doing king numbers. She should be doing Adele numbers, unless she calls herself the King over the urban community only. What is she the King of? what song she released which has impacted the world like MJ, Whitney, Aretha, Mariah, Celine, R kelly had classic songs,all these people moved all generations and people of the world. They have really contributed songs to help aid the suffering of poor nations. I think Alicia Keys and Mary J blige have better old classic than Beyonce. They talk about relationship and struggles. In my city on oldies station you will always hear Mary J songs over Beyonce, I never hear them play her old songs on the oldies station becuase she really doesn’t have any that appeals to the older crowd. Rihanna Diamonds, Stay and We found love is better all of Beyonce songs, with real life and powerful meaning, that people can relate to.

    The conments on this site are so obssessed with Beyonce. And its not even her fans. Those numbers tuned in to watch the game mainly. And anyway last time I checked Beyonce and Madonnas year still had higher ratings than the King of Pop himself so its hardly a fail. Reaching.

  91. Tasha February 4, 2014

    And it the whoke king/queen thing. Obviously shes not calling herself the King of pop, she is king of fan base aka the Beyhive. Its not that serious.

    @Trace btich bye. What does Tamar and Ciara not performing at the superbowl have to do with anything??? their stans are still entitled to their opinion of the show.

  101. viewer28 February 4, 2014

    I WISH YOU PEOPLE STOP PUTTING BEYONCE DOWN… HER PERFORMANCE ON LAST YEARS SUPERBOWL WAS BY FAR ONE OF THE MOST ENTERTAINING LIP SYNC OR NOT. HER VOCALS ARE HER VOCALS POINT BLANK YOU CANT TAKE THAT AWAY FROM HER BUT ATTEMPTING TO BASH HER KNOWING SHE DID HER THING AND SHE’S ONE OF THE TOP ARTISTS IS CRAZY LOL. SOME PEOPLE WOULD DIE AND GO CRAZY OVER ARTISTS THAT CANT SING NOR DO HALF THE THINGS SHE DOES ON A STAGE.. I WONT THROW OUT ANY NAMES.. BUT DIS CREDIT AN ARTIST THAT IS NOT ONLY VOCALLY TALENTED BUT CAN ACTUALLY PUT ON A SHOW.. YOU HAD MANY PEOPLE TUNED IN JUST TO WATCH THE SEAHAWKS BURY THE BRONCOS SO MOST OF HIS VIEWERS ARE BY DEFAULT HONESTLY BUT I DO GIVE HIM CREDIT HANDS DOWN HE HAD A VERY ENTERTAINING PERFORMANCE AND I DO THINK HE ALSO HAD A LOT OF PEOPLE TUNE IN TO WATCH HIM..

  103. rih keeps winning – catch up heuaxih February 4, 2014

    After all that hype, beyonce got her wig snatched by Bruno. OOOP. AND HER LP has only sold 2.56 even with 17 free videos.
    RIHANNA IS GOING TO END BEYONCE’S CAREER ONCE AND FOR ALL. Have you seen beyonce at the nets game? She looked 40 years old. have you seen all her booty pictures in the last week? She is scared of Rih Rih’s s** appeal. Have you seen Rih melting our hearts by Honoring that Brazil Boy who was murdered?
    Any ways. RIH IS COMING FOR BEYONCE’S RUTA WHORA AND THEM’S BLOOD, SHE WAS IN THE STUDIO WITH ALEX DA KID, the one who produced, Radiactive for that rock group ( sold over 6 mill in the USA alone ) and Love the way you lie / I ‘m coming home. YASSSSS
    SHE HAS BEEN in the studio with Rodney jerkins
    She has been in the studio with Kuk Hurelle, who is her go to guy.
    She has been in the studio with Dj Mustard, Nicky Romero who said she is doing a new sound. The runners said they done a track for her

    SHE WILL SNATCH BEYONCE AND END HER ONCE AND FOR ALL.
    RITA WHORA LP WILL BE PUSHED back, and back, eventually flopping and then she will ” part ways” * cough cough * dropped
    IT IS OVER ! GAGA IS GONE. BRIT has gone. Katy is doing her thang. Beyonce will be over. THIS MEANS, RIH WILL BE THE QUEEN OF POP

  104. FutureCIARA February 4, 2014

    Bruno really did a gr8 job!

    He also appealed to the older generation! My grandmother and mom saw him for the first time and they both agreed he had some Michael Jackson/ James Brown qualities that they loved about his performance!!!!

    #LegendaryMaterial

  105. FutureCIARA February 4, 2014

    BTW

    Madonna looks a F****** MESS in that gif!!!!!!

  106. Music lover February 4, 2014

    He topped everyone but most of y’all want to talk about beyoncé , jay z wife, Solanges older sister, tina knowles oldest daughter and blue ivy’s mother…did I mention beyoncé ? He also topped the the two best performers of all time Michael Jackson and Prince and was Bruno better ? Hell no.. Now Bruno was amazing but wasn’t the best of all time y’all are making it seem. He did his thing but TRHCP stole the show I was only there for them at first tbh but I love me some Bruno now after that performance. MJ, prince, U2, Janet, beyoncé, Bruno are the best halftime show only reason people say Madonna is because she HAD the most views and because she’s the queen she wasn’t really that good she did way too much and needed help by other artists and lip sync was too obvious

    Next year should either be: pink or usher

  107. Prism February 4, 2014

    Wow, Beyonce has a lot of people bothered. She must be doing something great.

    P.S: I preferred Beyonce’s performance better than Bruno’s. He might have the biggest ratings, but Beyonce’s halftime show was way more exciting and mind-blowing. She generated hundreds of thousands of tweets per second, which Bruno hasn’t.

    Anytway, he did a good job, but the performance was dry and underwhelming.

  108. LOL February 4, 2014

    LOL THE HIVES EXCUSES THO LOL

  109. tyler February 4, 2014

    What f***??? The general majority of the artist you b****** stan for have never and probably will never have the opportunity to grace the SuperBowl Half Time Show Stage *cough cough* Pon De Forehead and Ciaraman. Secondly, why in the hell are you acting like he only trumped Beyonce’s ratings? He topped Beyonce AND MADONNA’S. Not only that, but Beyonce STIll has one of the top 3 Half Time Performances EVER.

    So…why are you bitter ass h*** are trying to shade again??? I don’t follow…

  110. tyler February 4, 2014

    @Whut

    If that’s really the case, I guess you Navy h*** can stop acting like Rihanna is the best thing since sliced bread. Since she’ll never have the chance to perform in front of that big of an audience, on national television #OOP

  111. bossb*tchbeyonce February 4, 2014

    Bruno had the bigger audience but Beyonce had the better show…this isn’t just my opinion…the critics agree:)

  112. MC!!! February 4, 2014

    who gives a f*** about tweets when people actually WATCHED it!!! i’m surprised at how many tweets beyonce got and still haven’t touch madonna’s ratings smh

  113. Lainey February 4, 2014

    Delusion lol. Watching just to break Beyonce’s record? Yes, there are haters who can’t stand her, but come on, noone plans strategies against her. Get a life!

  114. DIGGER BEY February 4, 2014

  118. HTownVicious February 4, 2014

    B****, please shut up. You sound stupid. BEYONCE IS THE QUEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!

  119. john February 5, 2014

    Can I firstly just say that Bruno did a brilliant job. He was seriously incredible. He has a talent that every generation can enjoy because he has that raw, timeless talent, and his songs follow that same pattern of being timeless. He is just damn good.
    But I have to say that I kinda agree with the people saying that the viewer ship numbers were up because of Beyonce’s performance from last year. Yes she got 110 million views, which was lower then Madonna’s so I can see why people are asking “How does that even make any sense?”
    But let me just suggest this.
    Do you remember the horrible and hilarious pictures form Beyonce’s halftime show that went viral after the performance and were EVERYWHERE? And then people started photo-shopping them to make them even more hilarious and you could not escape them? Everyone who didn’t see Beyonce perform at the superbowl probably saw those pictures (especially with the whole controversy of the publicist not wanting those pictures to be used at all and it completely backfiring) and then possibly watched it online to see what all the fuss was about, or if not it probably peaked their interest in the halftime show in and of itself. Also, every media outlet was ALL OVER Beyonce’s Superbowl halftime show after she performed it. Huffington post, Buzzfeed, Time, RollingStone…It really was inescapable, whatever you thought of her actual performance. Heck, even the day off Bruno’s Superbowl there were media outlets doing articles on/replaying the best gifs from Beyonce’s halftime show again.
    Now I’m not saying this at all to take anything away from Bruno Mars, because he deserved those views in my opinion. His set, with the Chilli Peppers was just incredible.
    But I’m merely suggesting that Beyonce’s reach could’ve been apart of the reason for his big viewer-ship numbers.
