Happy Monday! I’m changing up the format this week and instead of focusing on one artist, I’m going to focus on three! Did you watch the Super Bowl halftime show last night? Let’s be honest – it was pretty much the Beyonce and Bruno Mars concert featuring Coldplay. Poor Coldplay – I love them but their songs don’t work well for a half time show. That being said, it was a weird and interesting half time show!

This is one of Coldplay’s more recent hit and I am really liking it so far.
For some reason I like to sing along to this song while I’m doing hill work.
Even though this song only “features” Bruno Mars, it’s one of my favorite songs from him because it’s just a fun song with a great beat.
Another fun and upbeat from Bruno Mars. He just makes music that makes you want to get up and dance…or run!
You can read last month’s #MusicMonday post about Beyonce here, so I thought I would include two of her older songs here.
If you watched the half time show, what was your favorite part? I really enjoyed the mini dance battle between Bruno Mars and Beyonce!

My thoughts exactly on the Coldplay choice. Love them but Super Bowl? Not the upbeat band you would expect!
kookyrunner says
Yeah I kind of felt bad for them actually, but you could tell Chris Martin was having a blast!
Wendy Rivard says
I was wondering how Coldplay would pull off a Super Bowl halftime show. I think they did a great job. I love that song, Adventure of a Lifetime. All I hoped is that they wouldn't bring out the apes from the video!
kookyrunner says
LOL Wendy. I agree, those apes from the video are pretty weird!

The halftime show was….interesting. Coldplay was definitely the "Left Shark", haha 😛
kookyrunner says
LOL. Yes they were the "left shark" for sure. Oh well, I still love Coldplay!
Lora @ Crazy Running Girl says
Beyonce killed it! I thought it was weird that they brought her in though, because she definitely outshined Coldplay!
kookyrunner says
Yeah she did a great job and I agree, she outshined Coldplay!
Zenaida Arroyo says
I did not care for the halftime show. I like Coldplay but they needed something more upbeat. I do not understand why they brought Beyonce and Bruno Mars back since they performed last year.
kookyrunner says
Yeah I wondered the same thing, but they probably knew Bruno and Beyonce would make more people watch the halftime show
