Coldplay song at super bowl
(Ditto Lady Gaga in her classy Broadway-caliber rendition of the national anthem that opened the game.)
Coldplay song at super bowl professional#
The past, one presumes, came in the form of Mars’ happily retro “Uptown Funk,” which he and his band updated - if that’s the word - with welcome bits of MC Hammer’s “U Can’t Touch This” and “Jungle Love” by Morris Day and the Time.Īs he did when he headlined the halftime show himself in 2014, Mars carried off his performance like the top-notch show-biz professional he is. For Coldplay’s “Paradise,” a youngsters’ marching band joined the party along with a troupe of ribbon dancers who provided more valuable color in the late-afternoon daylight.
And here they were perfectly inspiring as they sawed away at their brightly colored violins. The children - they’re our future, you know. Described in advance as a celebration of Super Bowls past, present and future (or something along those lines), the halftime show had Coldplay doing an uplifting version of its song “Viva la Vida” backed by Los Angeles Philharmonic music director Gustavo Dudamel and members of Youth Orchestra Los Angeles.
