While Bruno Mars’ Super Bowl halftime show performance was arguably very entertaining to watch, some people weren’t too pleased.
The “Moonshine” singer started his big performance with the help of a children’s choir singing “Billionaire.” How cute, right? Well, after Mars’ introduction, he transitioned to his hit single “Locked Out Of Heaven.” Some critics were not happy about Mars’ having children open up his performance before going into a song about sex with the lyrics, “Cause your sex takes me to paradise.”

One person on Twitter wrote, “Was anyone else creeped out by Bruno Mars singing about sex taking him to paradise right after he was introduced by children?”
If that wasn’t enough to complain about, some people were disgusted by Mars’ and his band’s choreography (pelvis thrusting).
“Following a children’s choir with pelvic thrusts makes me uncomfortable #Halftime #SuperBowl,” a viewer tweeted.

#AHSAPSUPER The juxtaposition between the frivolous wealth of the song and the innocence of the children's choir is priceless

I kind of feel Bruno Mars humping the air is a little inappropriate. Seeing as his performance started with kids..

Halftime show =uncomfortable. RHCP still impressive..the pairing with Bruno Mars- odd choice.
