I know she was invited and I guess therefore it’s not “cultural appropriation” but she should’ve stayed in her lane. She was the ONLY white person in the entire performance and (1) the worst dancer of everyone there (2) the worst dressed with that awful blue number. Oof.

Personally, I think BB could have landed his message even better if he had actually included more white people in the big group dancing sequences. I don't think everyone in the halftime show was from Puerto Rico.

I don't know. I think one white lady butchering salsa was enough (Lady Gaga). It's about entertainment as much as the message.

Said as a white lady who hopes she hasn't butchered salsa too often but may have.

What culture is that?

Then maybe you learned something last night, because much of what you're saying is lies. And if you're an American citizen, you're the last one who should be pontificating about a government that issues too much debt. You're part of a house of cards with 36 trillion in debt, and a President who is gutting the IRS.

If only we had known that is what was happening

He seriously looked liked they used the same AI tech that made Ted Danson look like Sam Malone. Ricky may have even looked better last night than he did in the early 2000s.

Right????

First of all, it’s Litinx.

And second you dumb MAGA gringo, Latinx peoples are BIPOCs.

Yes, the couple did get married live onstage, according to Bad Bunny’s public relations agency.

The Puerto Rican singer led a joyful celebration of Latin culture, performed mostly in Spanish. It featured a sugar cane field, domino players, a New York-style street scene complete with a bodega and a pan-American parade, and yes, a wedding scene.

About halfway through the 13-minute performance, a couple dressed in white kissed in front of an officiant dressed in black, surrounded by other dancers. The crowd parted after a moment to reveal Lady Gaga, who danced with Bad Bunny to his song “Baile Inolvidable” in a scene reminiscent of a wedding reception, including a cake and a child sleeping on some chairs in a corner.

The couple had invited Bad Bunny to their planned wedding, according to the statement from the singer’s public relations agency, which did not name them or provide any details about them. In response, they received an invitation to be part of his halftime show and were married there, with Bad Bunny serving as a witness and signing their marriage certificate.

It was a family values show!

Good grief I read every page of this. Not a great use of my time. I'd enjoy a more nuanced take from people other than a few lines and the tinge of political talk. There's a lot to putting together a good Superbowl halftime show that is worth discussing.

I don't know much about Bad Bunny's music - i watched him on SNL, but I don't remember what songs he played. I did recognize the last song from last night (which was also the one played to represent his music at the Grammy's, I think).

I wonder how much closed sets - walking through the sugarcane - plays in person. I think it's really hard to have a good show for in person and TV. I think Rihanna did a really job at that, and for example The Weeknd did a very poor job at that balance. (That maze was rough - I know he got the covid show but still that one ranks as a bad show).

I thought it was fun and generally worked. I was surprised at Gaga, though she did a great job. (I wondered if Bruno Mars was also going to show up). There was a point during some of the big group dance numbers that I thought it sounded/looked at little bit like the Broadway show (and movie) In the Heights by Lin Manuel Miranda - I was surprised he wasn't there, actually. That could have been really fun, though the trend lately isn't for mash ups.

I couldn't understand a word Kendrick Lamar said (except the Drake diss, of course, which was slowed down and pointed!), but I still recognized the value of his performance. I also thought Usher's wasn't that great. But overall this one was prety clear and easy to grasp the throughline, and the joy was apparent.

The ending was awesome with all the flags. Great messaging.

And I LOVED the bushes were people. I too wish there had been a grass dance.

All in all a great show.

The 60th Super Bowl will be at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, CA.

Bad Bunny recently finished his record-breaking Puerto Rico residency on Sept. 21, closing out his 30th and final No Me Quiero Ir De Aquí show at San Juan’s iconic El Choli arena.

Never heard about him or his music.

Do know other reggaeton music. He covered some of those. Overall show was OK. He seemed restrained vs his dick pop move he usually does in his shorts.
