Prince’s halftime show was literally 1 million times better than this. Please let’s stop pretending this was any good just because Trump doesn’t like him. Liking art because of politics is how art dies.

And yet I suspect Prince would have appreciated the artistry and power of this halftime show.

Perhaps. OTOH, Prince might have been asked to headline were he still alive and we wouldn’t be having this debate.

Sure, maybe. Anyway, I thought it was great. Creative, surprising, high energy, with exquisite attention to detail. That was Broadway-level set design.

That was 20 years ago Boomer. Move on.

I muted the television during the halftime show. I’m familiar with Bad Bunny, but not a fan.

Agree with the bolded.

LOL.

That is a view completely divorced from history and reality. George Orwell said “all art is propaganda” because art and politics have ALWAYS been intertwined. Art asks “how do we live?” and politics tries to answer. Every painting, tv show, and piece of music you have ever seen have answered political questions, from Bad Bunny to Mr. Rogers to the Marvel movies. They will always chase one another.

Art is powerful for sure. However, when the message is if you lean this way, you must like ___, otherwise, you’re out of the club — the art is no longer liked, the viewer who identifies with the club is forced to say they like it.

Thank you! Knee jerk faux admiration for art because the other side doesn’t like it is literally how art dies.

I’m sure people on here wouldn’t agree with Miles Davis’ or James Brown’s treatment of women, but Kind of Blue is a masterpiece that will be talked about 500 years from now despite their politics.

No one will give a damn about Bad Bunny 10 years from now.

I’m PP. I think tastes vary and are personal. I believe there are some people who truly liked it for whatever reason. Hard to say what will be remembered, if remembered at all.

I agree with you that there is a lot of outward support for ___ (insert the halftime show or something else) purely bc people feel pressured to say so to stay in line with one of the two political clubs even when they don’t like something. Sad.

There is a lot of sneetch behavior here.

I am well on the other side of 50 and a lifelong football fan. Some halftime shows have been better over the years. This one, the choreography, camera work etc were fantastic. I don't speak a lick of spanish, but the vignettes presented told universal stories that anyone can appreciate. Well, almost anyone.

I thought it was memorable and well done. I think the worst thing a Super Bowl show could be is forgettable. The Justin Timberlake (the 2018 show), Maroon 5, and Rihanna were just plain forgettable to me.

Rihanna's performance included the viral deaf interpretor/performer. That performance was extremely memorable and significant to many many people.

The “music” was terrible - his voice is really bad/not a good timbre. Wasn’t deep enough? Sets were impressive/super cool looking. I wish he had done the crossover hit with cardi B.

I don't know a thing about Bad Bunny, and I probably never will. I'm just too old to care much about much of the "new" music; it sounds like noise to me, much like those who came before me probably felt about Jazz, rock and roll, rap, and hip hop.

When Jazz first came out, it wasn't accepted by anyone outside the counterculture; beatniks loved jazz, everyone else, not so much. The US didn't embrace Jazz, which is why, among many other reasons, so many artists left the US and found cultures that did accept their music. And when Miles Davis made his appearance, he wasn't immediately recognized as the greatest of all time by Jazz enthusiasts, quite the opposite. We can say the same about so many musical genres.

As to your second point, you compare 500 yrs to 10 yrs; none of us knows that Jazz will have any relevance in 500 years. Who knows, perhaps no one will know or care about Mozart in 500 yrs. Cultural significance is dynamic, and the values we place on it change as it evolves.

As to Bad Bunny, I can say with certainty that he will still have a wide audience in 10 years.

I don’t understand why DCUM thinks it is so great to have so many women engaging in highly sexualized dancing on TV.

the president's reaction to Bad Bunny tells potential world Cup visitors exactly where they stand.

This performance also had sign language interpretation, just not on the main channel.

It wasn’t the actual Liam. It was a child actor. Still, I think the actor was meant to represent Liam

Those rump shakers were the only good thing about halftime.

I loved it!

I thought it was a fun, thoughtful, joyful, and beautiful performance!

I'm a middle aged lady, and have been jamming out to Benito all morning - and only understand maybe 20 words in Spanish.

The little kid was heart warming, too.
