    Bruno Mars and The Most Memorable Super Bowl Half-Time Shows of Late

    If Sunday night's lop-sided Super Bowl left you feeling a bit bored, at least Bruno Mars' 14-minute half-time show brought the fun. Mars is no stranger to packed arenas and televised performances, which is probably why he was tapped to helm the musical portion of this year's game. In fact, his half-time show alone attracted more than 115 million viewers — about 4 million more than the game itself, and over a million more than Madonna's performance in 2012, which (until now) held the record for the most-watched Super Bowl half-time show of all time. READ: How to Tell When Someone is Lip-Synching (Sorry, Beyonce) Lucky for Bruno, he earned almost universal praise from everyone who saw the spectacle, too. And that's a good thing, because we sometimes tend to remember our least favorite performances moreso than our favorites.
