Pop star Bruno Mars took the stage, danced like James Brown and hugged a shirtless Anthony Kiedis from the Red Hot Chili Peppers. But he also did something that other half time acts haven't done in a very long time: he put on a thoroughly entertaining, show-stopping performance.

Joining us now to talk about the half time show is Shirley Halperin, music editor at The Hollywood Reporter and regular contributor to Tuesday Reviewsday.
