Music journalism is a joke.

I agree with them he shouldn't be performing. JT would be a better choice for this year

Is the writer 80 or something?
Everyone knows who Bruno Mars is, lol.
The press needs to chill a bit tho, like what the hell

It sounds like a textbook SYG rant.

TIME should ask their interns if they spent any time on ATRL.

Bruno Mars is the guy who just won the pop vocal Grammy.

I don't get how anyone can dislike or diss Bruno. He minds his own business and focuses on his music.

I can not believe whoever wrote that about Ke$ha. Literally the most ignorant thing to say about her

Mess, if Bruno wasn't meant to perform then he wouldn't be. This article is a mess. I don't really see that K$ bit as a drag or shade, though.

Any journalism that has opinions in its core is a joke.

They did not lie. Hits =/= cultural impact. No one knows him.

Yes. Although, in all fairness, all journalism involves some sort of opinion (for example, even in choosing to write about a topic the author expresses the opinion that said topic is important).

My thoughts exactly, TIME and Rolling Stone have been trying it lately.

womp womp
!! I am genuinely shocked at the hate he's been receiving since he was announced as the half-time performer

Im sure tha guy who wrote is is a fat bumpy faced video game addict named Nathan, video gamer name Stud_Jock

King Bruno Mars is having everybody in the US watching his performing ASS rocking Super Bowl while this Times journalist is pressed because his favorite band isn't!

This would work if Bruno wasn't one of the most successful artists of the last 4 years. TIME is seething.

Bruno will show them he's a name to remember with his soon-to-be iconic halftime show.
