Bad Bunny 2026 Super Bowl halftime performer

[Anonymous]

I think the staging and the choreography were all fine. My gripe is with Bad Bunny as a performer. His fame and the quality of his voice do not match. He's a terrible singer. Especially compared to prior performers.

Regardless of musical preferences, everyone can see the talent with Kendrick Lamar, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Shakira, and so on. Bad Bunny can't hop with those artists. He is very mediocre as a singer and I remain baffled by his popularity. Marketing and Puerto Rican pride only goes so far. Typically you have to bring the goods. And Bad Bunny doesn't.

Most people in the world listen to music they can't understand. Imagine saying this to anyone whose mother tongue is not English and keeping a straight face.

I was very impressed with Bad Bunny as an entertainer while watching the halftime show. I have been learning more about him and his music since last night! I don't speak Spanish, but the internet can provide and translate lyrics.

Its 2026, and America still can't accept difference, how awful.

It’s the Super Bowl, not some random variety show. Give the fans something they actually want.

The HT show was full of symbolism. You need to have at least some level of awareness of Latino culture to understand it.

Over 90% of people that watched have no idea what the message was and we're just sitting there bored.

No…I can recognize that something is not very specifically directed at me and doesn’t reflect my cultural background and still enjoy it. I can still appreciate it and connect to it. How do you travel? Or go to a museum? Or watch movies?

And please tell us why the main show at the Super Bowl, the ultimate in American entertainment, should not reflect our cultural background?

Exactly this. I love learning about different cultures and respect all of them, but I’m not sure the Super Bowl, which is known for being American, should be about only other cultures. If they had made it “all American”, there would be so much backlash. Can you imagine if there were only white people in it? I thought it was a beautiful performance, just not appropriate for this situation.

The whole lighting and color on this were really lovely. The whole thing looked like it was taking place during a sunset.

I can't be sure because I don't know what it was about but it was definitely boring

Bad Bunny is American.

Is that why Ricky Martin was orange?

One of the three singers in the show, the one who performed for the second longest was white. So people asking where the white people in this show missed the white lady front and center?

I mean A) PR is American and B) I'm from Florida and this heavily resembled home for me.

Amazing performance. Should have had subtitles. And stop the crotch grabbing. Come one.
