My two cents: point to another country that would exclusively feature bilingual singers/bilingual show at such a national event. You can’t. Despite everything, we are a melting pot.

Kids are dumb. Explain to them that it’s extremely hard to sing live and dance while entertaining a crowd.

Pink can sing and dance.

I’d rather hear singers sing. They can be surrounded by dancers if they like. Same impact.

Agree. She is awesome.

Well she tries.

This. I love love love Pink, but she can’t dance live either of these women of these women. It ain’t even close.

I'll take Pink over either one of these women any time.

That has been happening for generation and generation in strip clubs. I don't particularly think it is all that empowering. It that is what others want for their daughters - great. Teach them to take their clothes off and pole dance and shake their bodies and simulate sex for men's enjoyment. We don't look to strip clubs as our model for female empowerment.

As someone said we don't teach boys to take off their clothes and use their bodies for women's enjoyment.

Til Tok is full of teenage boys and men in their 20s strutting around shirtless now to get likes from girls and women.

Shakira was great as always.

I dunno. I loved the show. My 8yo daughter watched it—she’s a gymnast who can shimmy to the top of a rope, so she had some idea how physically difficult it is to do what JLo did.

I truly think this thread reflects some WW pearl clutching at JLo’s performance. I think they are disturbed by a curvy non-white woman gyrating, tbh. I thought overall it was great. And great that my brown daughter 1st gen daughter could see this performance by Latinas as representative of the future America, a multicultural America.

Front of men, but if they comment or touch I or react 8n any way, they’re offenders. I wish they had been more overtly political, less sexually obvious. Agree shakira killed it. - mom of two girls, each of whom commented on how scantily clad and sexual the performers were, and not in a good way.

Yeah let’s all wear turtlenecks, dockers and the ugly duck boots NW women love. That’ll show everyone we mean business. Also, no pedicures or manicures!

True. But why should a singer dance?

We’ve devolved to a place where it’s expected for female “singers” to wear leotards and dance in an overtly sexual manner while lip synching. Why?

They are PERFORMERS.

Black woman who loved the message at the end but hated Jlo’s performance. It was over the top sexual. Sorry. I am pretty conservative though. So there you have it.

Jlo looked like she was wearing a bedazzled maxi pad.

Pink doesn’t lip sync...even when she’s suspended upside down...because she is a real singer.

She did! There were a couple times where it literally looked like you could see a pad. Depends?

She doesn’t lip sing bc she isn’t dancing and running around. She isn’t high energy.

FTR, I'm the PP from the first page who said the show was fantastic and followed up with a post applauding bringing out the PR flag. I'm a middle aged white woman. Can we stop making assumptions about people's race?
