What do you think of SuperBowl Halftime?

Women are sexualized on TV and otherwise on a daily basis. White America tends to only grasp their pearls in horror when that woman is non-white. You all had the same whiny complaints about Shakira, JLo, and Beyoncé. We get it. You have a problem with black and brown joy.

Liam and his dad, yes.

That is amazing

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

I honestly think it was to represent the artist as a child, and really any child that dreams of success.

A collosal bore! Bad Bunny keeps grabbing his crotch. It's an English speaking audience so sing in English! But Trump must be having a conniption fit so it was a good show after all!

Total Bullsh*t! Bad Bunny was amazing. I went to a party and everyone was on their feet!!!

It served as an effective Trump repellant that kept him from attending and trying to make the SB about him. As a lifelong Seahawks fan, much much appreciated.

Okay, NP here. First off, I thought the show was great. I am not particularly into his music, but some of it was good. I find the same reggaeton beat throughout most songs to be boring and uncreative, but was glad he brought some salsa in though Gaga would not have been my choice. (FWIW, I listen to a decent amount of reggae and reggaeton and no it’s not Marley.) The show was vibrant, full of beautiful cultural vignettes and a real celebration of PR/America as it should be.

Secondly, I also didn’t understand why they cut to those dancers’ butts for like 30% of the opening songs. I am no pearl clutcher, but it had nothing to do with them not being white. I also take issue with the objectification of white women. They were fantastic dancers, but I don’t think the choreography was amazing in that regard. Whatever, I’ve moved on. But I will say, my daughters watching this is a lot like me watching MTV growing up and I absolutely internalized that stuff and it’s been problematic. I would be curious to know if they focused on their asses so much it were a female star, female director, female choreographer.

Even Meghan McCain liked it.

I loved how the show actually showed two men romantically dancing together! The performance's representation as fantastic. Love of all kinds is stronger than hate

Oh BS. People have been upset by this for a long time. Are you so young you don't remember the reaction to Madonna doing Like a Virgin? And on down the line.

You are correct that women are sexualized all the time in our culture. I keep hoping we'll get better. This is not a race thing.

And why cant we see the faces of the black and brown joy instead of the backsides?

I think it was entertainers who grew up in Puerto Rico. Lopez doesn't speak Spanish like a native and was born and raised in NYC.

Lady Gaga grew up in Puerto Rico?

J Lo wasn’t even given the full Halftime headliner spot in 2020. She had to co headline with Shakira. She has more Hits in the USA than Shakira or Bad Bunny combined. Her show was way better and she had a political message about ICE even back then. She also performed in English and Spanish together to engage both audiences

JLo is no way more popular than Bad Bunny. She really sucks and can't sing at all. You just don't like Bad Bunny. We get it.

Funny the pedo party is mad about women dancing. I guess they prefer underage little girls dancing sexy, which is disgusting.

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.

I know this is hard for you, but I loved it. Everyone I was around loved it. I loved the messaging and being a DC resident, I feel kinship with PR. Being sh*t on because you are not a state. You get treated like a second class citizen.

Who cares what this forum thinks? The data doesn’t lie. Bad Bunny headlined the Super Bowl because he’s the most listened-to artist, plain and simple.

It’s like an election result: plenty of people don’t like the outcome, but at the end of the day, it reflects what the majority chose.
