Liam and his dad, yes.

OH WOW

It was not Liam, it was a child actor named Lincoln Fox.

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!

Kid Rock grabs his crotch, sings about molesting your daughter (it’s mandatory), and sings in, at best, trailer trash.

And that’s better?

I don't listen to Kid Rock or any of his contemporaries. My listening pleasure is strictly classical.

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

wait, really them? I thought it was an allusion to them but actually them???

I loved the show. I thought it there were so many beautiful PR/Latino scenes--the dancing, the New York-type neighborhood, the wedding. It was a beautiful expression of community and joy. I loved the expression of unity at the end when he named all the countries in North and South America. It was great.

In the meantime, the a$$hole in chief was hating it on Truth Social and billionaires were taking out ads for ICE. Yuck.

I’m so tired of the reflexive negativity. Loosen up and have some fun, people. What a shame to be unable to enjoy a show like that

Why did you quote me? I loved it.

Sorry! I said it above (maybe you saw already, but just in case), I wasn’t responding to you but just to your comment about the president’s knee-jerk hate. I’m tired of him twisting everything into something to hate, something to fight about. It’s unnecessary, and it’s boring, too.

I should have bolded the part I was responding to. Apologies.

I agree with you about BB.

The wedding scene was a real wedding, very cool!

Random Lady Gaga sucked and I like her. It wasn’t her style and they needed a singer who danced salsa. Maybe he owed her something.

Nah, Jennifer isn’t/wasn’t more popular. Bad Bunny isn’t just big with the mainstream, he resonates deeply especially young folks who feel like outsiders. In Latin culture in particular, where being different (like boys wearing nail polish or skirts) is often taboo, Bad Bunny challenges those norms and gives that crowd a voice.

I am 40+ and my kids listen to arctic monkeys etc and are young girls.. BUT no I think Bad Bunny is mainstream.. all that stuff is totally mainstream, harry styles sells Nail Polish!! and used to wear skirts. think about it.. did your parents have access to clue when you were in th 16-24 demographic?? for a long time the HT show was catering to millennials but football was falling out of fashion so I think that owners wanted to appeal to younger ppl instead of aging millennial 40, 50 year olds who are in the habit of watching football anyways. we all get old and we spend all our money on our kids so its bad business to focus on parents instead of the young teens who drive the economy.

Then you wouldn’t have liked any half time performer, because the halftime performer never performs strictly classical music. It’s not that you don’t like BB, it’s that you don’t like contemporary music.

All his songs are in Spanish! Where you expecting him to translate them for you?

I never knew music like that was possible. One hears such sounds and one can only think, “bad bunny.”

This is why politics is so lame. A bunch of people on here pretending something was good because the other team doesn’t like it.

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 agree that this political moment is pathetic — “if you’re on side x, you like ___, but if you’re on side y, you hate that first thing and instead like this other thing.”

But I genuinely loved it.
