Bruno Mars Super Bowl Press Conference. 2014. Web. 2 Feb 2014. <http://cdn.rap-up.com/blog/wp-               content/uploads/2014/01/bruno-mars-super-bowl-press-conference.jpg>




Many people are wondering if the lights will go out after Bruno Mars makes an appearance in the Super Bowl halftime show. In 2013, once Beyonce was done performing, the lights in the stadium shut down for nearly 35 minutes. Director of the Super Bowl halftime show, Hamish Hamilton says he is "fairly sure" the same thing that happened last year will not happen again.
I can't really connect to this because I am not a director nor someone famous enough to perform at a Super Bowl. However, I did watch the Super Bowl and I do remember when the lights were out. Everyone was making a big deal out of it on Facebook, Twitter, etc. Bruno Mars is one of my most favorite performers of all-time, so I know I'm going to be watching the Super Bowl, and hopefully the lights shutting down, (if they do) won't stop him from doing what he does best.
This article makes me feel reassured because it lets me know that producers and directors are actually doing something to prevent what has happened before. It also lets me know that they are doing everything in their power to make the Super Bowl performances the best they can be, (even though it will be because of Bruno Mars.) Anywho, I feel like this Super Bowl halftime show will be one of the best yet.
My reaction to this is shocked because once I found out Bruno Mars was going to be the one performing for this big event, I have been excited for this time since then. I'm glad that so many people are working together to make something great happen. Faith in humanity is restoring and that affects me because people in my community may even begin to restoring faith.


How does the author support his claim? Use evidence from the selection to support your answer.
The author supports his claim by putting direct things the producer of the Super Bowl halftime show said to make people feel like the same thing that happened last year will not happen again. He also adds some quotes from the producer such as "We knew almost exactly the show we were going to get," to reaffirm people that they have everything under control for the Super Bowl XLVIII halftime show.

  1. I like how you have all your information and its organized. There was also another performer that I think you should have talked about. Bruno Mars was the main act but all performers are important. I forgot about the blackout last year. Its good that they worked to prevent that from happening again. You should put a space between your paragraphs, so that they don't run together. It makes it easier to read. I would have liked to know why the lights went out last year also. One last thing I think would have added to your blog is a direct quote. It helps to tell about the author of the original piece and also gives more information.

  2. I really liked your blog post because I'm also a big fan of Bruno Mars. I think you did an amazing job on this blog post, but you font was a little hard to read with the background. Also I was wondering if you always watch the super bowl or do you just watch it you your a fan of the half- time preformer?
