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.


Huh? It was American culture.


Oh really? I thought we’re told Americans have no culture and bad food. Interesting.

She turned them down because they refused to give her ownership of her halftime performance. They have no choice now, she hold all the cards after last night's performance

She won't perform a Superbowl Halftime until her fiance retires. They have to decide way in advance and she doesn't want to miss watching him play. Pretty straightforward.

It may have been but most of us were unable to determine which is a problem when 90% of your audience doesn't understand your product

He kept grabbing himself. He should go on a commercial for a cream down there.

I’d love a TSwift half time show as much as anyone else, but disagree. The show is getting great reviews and will go down as a total win for the NFL folks who picked Bad Bunny. Personally I loved it.

You cannot assess a performance without knowing the language?

Look, there's an entire genre of music primarily consumer by older white people that's performed pretty primarily in other languages. I'm not buying this "I don't speak the language so I can't listen to this."

The NFL has been working hard to go international. Bad bunny was a good pick for them.

No it is not. It is being described as visually appealing but boring because people have no idea what was being said

Did you even watch the show? Bad bunny did salsa with Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin and I saw cumbia there too.

You don’t need to reflexively post right wing talking points about things you don’t understand or care to understand.


+1. Some of the people posting here don’t even seem like they watched the show. They just want to hate on it because it was in Spanish.

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.


He seems like a very creative person, but I have to agree, he is not good at singing.

Yes, they got record viewership which is their main goal. Live events have generally had a fall off in viewership numbers. That was a smashing success for them. The NFL is 100% happy today.

It’s not a “right wing talking point” to say I don’t speak Spanish. Sheesh.

There are a variety of American foods and cultures. Some are better than others.

This performance was looking at a slice of America.
