Where is this? Can you provide a source? Your mind isn’t a source.

“People are saying” lol.

A lousy show that 135 million people watched and got great reviews in newspapers.

You can go watch kid rock on Turning point USA, if you like watching old men sing about having sex with underage girls.

This is like when Trump says "They say" but he pulls "they" completely out of his ass. Totally made up information.

+1. So many posts like this on this thread. “No one has ever heard of Bad Bunny.” “No one likes Bad Bunny.” “Latinos don’t like Bad Bunny.” “No one understands Puerto Rican Spanish.”

It’s like some people here have nothing more than a 4th grade education and don’t realize you need evidence to back up your statements.

I wonder if it’s bots. I would like to think real people aren’t quite as stupid as some of the posts on this thread

Bad Bunny is an American


Bad Bunny is not a Pedophile

Kid Rock and company..... at the other event funny how they kept asking for money during the whole show blasting emails and texts etc. Great scamming shits they are.

kirk's wifey is traveling to colleges with another POS Greg Laurie Laurie is senior pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside, Calif., and “has been named in a wave of lawsuits filed in U.S. federal court alleging child abuse and trafficking by former pastor Paul Havsgaard.

The lawsuit alleged that church leaders, including Laurie, allowed Havsgaard to act without oversight and overlooked multiple warning signs of his alleged misconduct when he ran church-supported children’s homes in Romania from 1998 to 2008. It also alleged that the church didn’t cease to financially support the Romanian homes despite reports of abuse, and that Havsgaard was also allowed to return to the United States with some of the children to raise even more funds.”

Whose the horrible humans MAGA

They say it's 10-20 million to produce a halftime show. The headliner doesn't get paid. I don't think that would go very far to helping Puerto Rico's problems.

10-20 million might help some, no?

Not as much as the $40bn in US taxpayer dollars Trump sent to Argentina a few months ago in a failed attempt to prop up their currency.

Somehow MAGA gets very upset about taxpayer money being spent on certain things but are silent when Trump lights it on fire to help his billionaire bros.

Martin was important. You had to listen to the words (which I know were in Spanish, so look it up) to get the message. They sang in Spanish for a reason. Puerto Rico does not want to become Hawai'i. They do not want to lose more of their culture, language and history.

That’s all well and good but they ruined the pacing.

It was a visual disaster. Total chaos.

Could not disagree more. The sugar cane backdrop added a lot of visual unity. The flags ended it with a strong statement that drove home the verbal message.

The visual depictions of latino culture and verbal and visual shout outs to NYC and Puerto Rico worked.

It was just incredibly well thought out and planned. And fun!

Agreed. There was a lot of meaning packed into that performance.

Bad Bunny Delivers a Love Letter to Puerto Rico at Super Bowl Halftime
His performance featured a sugar cane field, a wedding seemingly officiated onstage and a New York-style street scene, along with appearances by Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin.

In the end, Bad Bunny managed to hit all those notes at his halftime performance, walking out in an off-white football jersey labeled “OCASIO” (after his full name, Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio) and the number 64, and leading a show that featured a joyful celebration of Latin heritage, before he spiked a football in triumph.

His performance included Lady Gaga doing a salsa-style version of her streaming smash with Bruno Mars, “Die With a Smile” (in English), and later Ricky Martin — who arguably began the crossover process for modern Latin pop that led to Bad Bunny — performing Bad Bunny’s track “Lo Que le Pasó a Hawaii.” (Both stars had been cited by online bettors in the run-up to the show, with decent odds.)

Featuring a sugar cane field, a wedding seemingly officiated onstage, a New York-style street scene complete with a bodega and a pan-American parade, the show spanned country and city, family and hemisphere, work and play and dancing everywhere. It placed Bad Bunny’s beloved Puerto Rico at the center of a communal celebration, where vintage salsa and traditional bomba and plena easily segued out of reggaeton and dembow. The sounds were mostly organic, not electronic: a brassy salsa band, a white-clad band of plena percussionists. Bad Bunny was summoning a Latin heritage across generations, one that recognized hard work — cane-cutting, electric-grid repairs — alongside the good times workers sweated to earn.

He drew on his latest album, “Debí Tirar Más Fotos,” as well as hits from his previous ones, and he put Latin rhythms up front. Cultural and political messages were tucked in. “Lo Que le Pasó a Hawaii” worries that, as in Hawaii, Puerto Rico’s culture could be overwhelmed by outsiders. “El Apagón” (“The Blackout”), which mentions Puerto Rico’s too-frequent power failures, accompanied a sequence of workers on utility poles.

He also nodded to his historic win, just last week, of the Grammy for album of the year, handing the award as an inspiration to a young Latino boy.

A Latin man, who dates women, but supports LGBTQ rights, is comfortable enough in his masculinity to wear dresses and paint his nails, is strong, popular, makes great music, is a decent guy, and is a clear winner.

They're so threatened by him. It's really quite lovely to witness.

You can think the performance was bad while still being very liberal.

Liberal here who didn’t care for the show. Not bothered by the show being in Spanish, not bothered by the dancing, just didn’t care for it or find it entertaining.

People magazine described the performance as a “fun-filled dance party” that largely abandoned politics in favor of sexiness, joy and tropical flavor. A friend texted to say she was especially annoyed when one media outlet referred to the plants onstage as “shrubbery,” oblivious to how those sugar cane fields recalled a long history of chattel slavery and colonialism in the Caribbean.

During the set, Bad Bunny performed “El Apagón,” a searing critique of Puerto Rico’s failing electrical grid and the long legacy of colonialism behind it. The jíbaros were recast as electrical workers, evoking the ingenuity of Puerto Ricans rebuilding after Hurricane Maria amid federal negligence. Where some viewers may have seen only electrical poles, we saw an acknowledgment of one of the most painful chapters in Puerto Rico’s recent history. And yet, the workers and Bad Bunny still danced, still partied, still lived.

Our friends in Los Angeles cheered when they saw the popular Villa’s Tacos stand, while those in Brooklyn lit up when Toñita of Williamsburg’s Caribbean Social Club handed Bad Bunny a drink. Nearly halfway through the show, the music stopped, and the camera cut to a real couple — two fans who had originally invited Bad Bunny to their wedding — being pronounced husband and wife during the performance.

And he climbed up while singing and danced at the top of the utility pole without any safety harness or rigging.

I mean, that’s totally understandable. Not everything is an ideological test. We are all entitled to our own opinions (what you provided) but not our own facts (the posters adamantly claiming this was an unusually risqué performance for *a Super Bowl half time show*).

People needed subtitles which weren’t provided. Seeing twerking on telephone poles was gross. 🤮 The spectacle was obnoxious with all those booty shakings and touching one’s crotch. His voice lacks melodious tones. Poor job.

You are alone in your opinion.
