Didn't see Coldplay, but I could have guessed that they sucked.

I'm not a Coldplay fan. I'm sure it was better than last year's horror with Katy Perry.

As did Beyoncé and Mars.

I'm with you re the classics as long as it includes Springsteen.

He was the most entertaining, to me. Coldplay was not a good choice IMO. The songs were weak but still a youthful energy prevailed. I loved all the bright colors. Beyoncé seemed oddly out of place to me. Chris Martin bouncing around seemed kind of silly. But Bruno held the show together IMO.

All the kids , flowers and kaleidoscope colors helped. Could have done without the flashback to past half times but filler I guess.
I thought the whole thing would be a miss so I was pleasantly surprised that I liked it.
