you must be embarrassed of yourself... the correct way of saying that is "embarrassed by." |

Right, but you can UNDERSTAND his lyrics. They're in English. "Bawitdaba, da-bang, da-bang, diggy-diggy-diggy Said the boogie, said up jump the boogie" Understandable English! |

Who are these "many Latinos?" Is this something you saw on YouTube and have decided is fact? |

Lol. I get the feeling that when you have sex, you pay more attention to the music playing in the room than what your partner wants…which would mean you’re bad at sex, but good at listening to music. |

Yes, and don’t forget a gay woman singing America the Beautiful, Green Day opening, plus a defeat of the Patriots by a woman-owned/operated team. So much for the deplorables to fume about. |

Nope--you're just showing your age. Language evolves, and younger people are using "embarassed of" more, as the use of prepositions evolves. https://grammarphobia.com/blog/2014/04/embarrassed-of.html But even if you're old, you shouldn't be spreading false rumors about 5 year old boys on the Internet. Go take a walk outside and try to be a better person. |

| If it was an international bowl, it would be okay to do show in any language but considering its a national competition happening in USA, it makes sense to do it in a language more people can understand. Most Latinos understand English as well. Bad Bunny can sing well in English. |

But Puerto Rico is a territory of the United States, and Spanish is mostly spoken there. And BB is Puerto Rican. It makes complete sense why he would perform his music in Spanish. This whole Spanish thing is a nothing burger. |

| Also as it's considered a family event and airs on TV, keeping it family friendly would be great, every year its centered around skimpily dressed gyrating dancers. |

For those talking about Spanish speakers, I think it is actually difficult for a lot of Spanish speakers to understand the Puerto Rican dialect, which drops a lot of consonants and even entire syllables and pronounces some consonants differently and smashes together words while shortening them. There's also a lot of unique words that are only part of that dialect.
Most Spanish speakers in the USA speak or at least easily understand the Central Mexican dialect, which is what you see all over the TV stations like Univision and telenovelas, and mainstream "in Spanish" media, basically. That, however, is like the opposite of PR Spanish in that it emphasizes the consonant sounds. By the way, Ricky Martin acted in Mexican telenovelas before making it big, so his stuff is more easily understandable to most Spanish speakers in the USA. |

I don’t understand the criticism that you don’t understand the lyrics. It’s music - that’s the beauty of it. You can still enjoy the beat and the dancing.
But I would be surprised if anyone listening to the Kid Rock halftime show understood his lyrics considering the song he sang celebrates meth addicts, prostitutes, pimps, and crackheads. I’m pretty sure most of the people listening didn’t know it was celebration of that because they simply couldn’t understand the words. So that’s a pretty weak argument. |

Most Latinos understand English better than Puerto Rican Spanish, actually. |

He can sing a song mixed with both languages if he is singing on a national stage or one in Spanish and other in English. Be more inclusive. That's his message anyways. |

That is what lady Gaga was brought in for. |

The Olympics is also a much more high-budget show. |
