Bruno Mars' Superbowl Halftime Show: Will You Be Ready For Your Big Day?

To say that Bruno Mars performed well at this year's Superbowl halftime show is an understatement. Mars not only performed well, he delivered a powerful performance that signed, sealed, and delivered like a touchdown from a 100-yard punt return. His spot on exhibition did not occur by luck or happenstance. Mars' professionalism made it obvious that his delivery was the culmination of years of hard work and preparation.

Bruno Mars' post Superbowl appearance on Ellen led to a conversation and a speech where Mars gave encouraging words to aspiring musicians. "...If music is what you want to do, if music is what you love and your passion...it's about you putting in the work practicing every day. Practicing your vocals. Practicing your instruments. Practicing songwriting...One day you're going to have your moment to shine and you're going to have a lot of people saying that you can't do it and that you're not good enough. But I promise you. If you go out there and sing, and put your heart and soul into it, and you follow your dream. One day you're going to be sitting next to Ellen DeGeneres talking about how you broke records and rocked the Superbowl." Mars showed his gift of connecting with his audience by ending his speech celebrating to the Rocky anthem, 'Gonna Fly Now.'
