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.


90% hahaha. Read a book about PR or ask ChatGPT for a summary if you aren’t into reading.



DP.

I found it really confusing. Then sort of boring and ultimately annoying.


Confusing? You may want to get checked for Alzheimers or something.
BB absolutely nailed it. I don't speak Spanish, but totally appreciated his performance. As someone who has spent lots of time in another Spanish-speaking Caribbean country (and in Washington Heights in NYC) he made me want to get on the plane and off the resort!


You only want to be at the resort?


It said "off the resort". Off the resort might help the confused PP have a little more understanding.

Setting aside the question of what ISN'T TPUSA or MAGA Big Mad about something, they made it quite clear they stopped watching NFL football when Kaepernick took a knee. The Super Bowl isn't for them. The Super Bowl is for patriots who love America. MAGA and TPUSA can go seethe in the gutter like normal. A bunch of grifting, racist quislings, the lot of them.





The kneeling nonsense stopped a long time ago.


It wasn't nonsense. Colin Kaperneck was right about everything. At the time I didn't think it was the right forum for his protest, but in hindsight it absolutely was.


Lol maybe Colin just sucked at football?


He was probably better at football than you are at anything, though!


Sick burn, bro! Colin just didn’t have what it takes and is now doing nothing.


I know, he's young and rich and retired. And he did it all himself. What a loser!

So true. I didn't hear people complaining when Pavarotti's Nessun Dorma was used for the World Cup and other sporting events.

Pretty sure Trump plays Nessum Dorma at his rallies.

Personally I was underwhelmed by Lady Gaga as well. Her song selection felt low energy.


I didn't love the music but I appreciated the sets, visuals, and upbeat messaging in what has been a tough time for our country. Bad Bunny has received plenty of popular and critical support, he's as good a choice for the halftime show as anyone else.

If nothing else I appreciated the positivity, it made me feel hopeful.

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.



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


It is a right wing talking point to say that all Bad Bunny and his dancers did was twerk. You obviously didn't watch the show if that's what you saw.


It may not have been all that they did, but what they did was way over the top. Too much for this show/ audience.



Kinda like Elvis shaking his pelvis.

You asked all of them?


No, I’m reading YouTube comments. They have a translate button. Most are panning the show


Ah yes, the reliable source of information, the YouTube comments section. Not known for being a cesspool of trolls at all!

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.


Look at the music critic quisling, everyone! Lots of past halftime show performers are bad singers. For example: Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, even Kid Rock (Yes, Kid Rock performed at an actual Super Bowl halftime show once, before he became a caricature of an anti-American shitheel).

You do know Lady Gaga performed in that show yesterday, right?


They might not because she was unrecognizable.


She changes her look every time she performs!


She’s another victim of Ozempic.


No, she has fibromyalgia and other major health issues. Don't speculate about people's health when you don't know anything.

Don’t be a tw@t

It was joyful, it was PG, it was inclusive. Honestly it is a good litmus test because if you are mad at that halftime show, there is something wrong with you.


Exactly.

But we knew that already.

To be fair, lady gaga has had a LOT of work done to her face in recent years. What I didn’t understand was why she was twitching her arms around like that the whole time.

Unclench and direct your outrage at something truly over the top reprehensible, like the Epstein files.

Nope. Another good reason to not watch the NFL

If that performance did not make you want to get up and dance, you're dead inside.

Got it. So normally the PP spends all their time just at the resort and may actually want to venture off next time? So much better.
