No, that isn’t it. Not at all.

For you, PP, and all the other moms and dads defending the Superbow halftime show…

If an English speaking artist stood on that stage and sang:

“My dick is being chased and I want you to hide it.”
“She took a pill that made her horny.”
“She fcks in the Audi, not in the Honda.”
“If your boyfriend doesn’t eat your ass, he better fck off.”
“Let the ones I already f*cked smile.”
“The coke is white… the 2CB’s pink.”

Would you still call it empowering? Inclusive? Cultural?

Or would we suddenly be talking about protecting kids and “keeping it family friendly”?

The Spanish language doesn’t make it wholesome. Translation doesn’t change the content.

If this had been performed in English, there would have been outrage.

Think about it and be honest.

Drugs and f**king on stage are great things to show to small children in a halftime show, amirite?

Ludacris (IN ENGLISH)
during Usher's "Yeah"

"Watch out, my outfit's ridiculous
In the club, lookin' so conspicuous
And raow, these women all on the prowl
If you hold the head steady, I'ma milk the cow (Yeah)
And forget about game, I'ma spit the truth (What)
I won't stop 'til I get 'em in they birthday suit (Yeah)
So gimme the rhythm and it'll be off with they clothes
Then bend over to the front and touch your toes
I left the Jag' and I took the Rolls
If they ain't cuttin', then I put 'em on foot patrol (Let's go, ow)
How you like me now
When my pinky's valued over three hundred thousand?
Let's drink, you the one to please (Yeah)
Ludacris fill cups like double Ds (Yeah)
Me and Ursh once more and we leaves 'em dead
We want a lady in the street, but a freak in the bed"

It's their culture. They're celebrating that kind of lifestyle and think we all should be in awe.

Are you naive about how many children are growing up with basically no parental guidance or supervision?

There are few, if any, performers in pop more popular and embraced than Bad Bunny, the 31-year-old Puerto Rican superstar who has been one of music’s dominant global innovators for a decade.

And yet Bad Bunny did something quite novel with his Super Bowl LX performance in Santa Clara, Calif., on Sunday night, turning it into an extended presentation on how to make a global opportunity intimate, personal and historically specific. Like his sixth solo album, “Debí Tirar Más Fotos,” which a week ago made history as the first Spanish-language album to win the Grammys’ top honor, and his 31-show residency in San Juan, Puerto Rico, last summer, he assiduously brought people to him, on his terms.

Here, it started in the sugar cane fields — once Puerto Rico’s cash crop, and a source of rampant labor exploitation. Bad Bunny began his show with the frisky “Tití Me Preguntó” from 2022, walking amid laborers in pavas chopping at stalks and tall plants forming something of a labyrinth. He strode past vendors of coco frio, tacos and piraguas; a pair of boxers sparring; a table of older gentlemen playing dominoes; women at a nail salon.
This was Bad Bunny’s private Puerto Rico, a place of cultural joy and political complication. The first two minutes of his 13-minute show took place largely within that maze, an almost-protected space that projected safety and ease, just before he emerged on the roof of La Casita, the replica of a traditional Puerto Rican home that served as the centerpiece of his set here (and also his residency performances), and began serenading the world.

Almost every minute that followed — performed almost entirely in Spanish, a Super Bowl first — featured a combination of musical astuteness, familial exuberance and sociopolitical statement.

My grandfather worked in those cane fields and I cried during the halftime show. For anyone who is open to something beautiful, listen to Pitorro de Coco, the title track, and Cafe con Ron from the album. It’s great stuff. To bring it back to something from the DMV, a great YouTube dance fitness channel called and8 has a great Latin dance routine including a different Bad Bunny song that’ll make you sweat.

I’ve argued with idiots here and it’s boring. Post if you’ve never heard the tracks above and love them. They are wonderful, and so was the show.

I have no association with PR, have never been, and little knowledge about its history. But I’ve teared up and/or weeped everytime I’ve rewatched the performance.

This speaks more about you than Bad Bunny. The rest of us were shaking our heads in disgust with the dry-humping all over the stage, the incessant crotch grabs, and the so-called music which turned out to be noise.

"The rest of us" were not feeling that or thinking that.

I appreciated this powerful song about how women should be able to dance without the gaze of men. Next time, go watch Kid Rock lip sync. I'm sure it was fabulous. lol

They were told to say feel that or think that probably someone over on fake news said it and they are repeating it here, as usual.

+1 Typical DCUM idiots who think their opinions are universal. Bad Bunny has 6 Grammys and had 130 million people watching him at the half-time show for a reason. Loved the half time show. So energetic and full of symbolism.

Hold on. Just bc people were tuned into the Super Bowl and watched the half time show does not at all equate to they all enjoyed it. Quite the contrary. Millions watched in horror as the Bad Bunny tried to perform with that wretched set of songs. It was a bonding experience as the party 🎉 made fun of it all.

What data can you cite that shows that "millions watched in horror"? Nielsen published data that approx 130 million plus watched the Bad Bunny half time, and also that more people tuned into Bad Bunny than the Super Bowl game itself.

+1

Half of us saw a heartwarming story of immigrants who had dreams to come to America — work hard, get married, grow up, raise families, sing, dance, play backgammon. The other half, it was like the movie ‘28 Days Later.’ It was a terrifying attack on humanity led by Jessica Alba.” — JIMMY KIMMEL

“Mr. Bunny killed it, despite being trapped in an inescapable sugar cane hedge maze. He had Lady Gaga, he had Ricky Martin, he had the Mandalorian. He threw a wedding. He held a model U.N., and he even had the time to make a Con-Ed service stop mid-concert.” — JON STEWART

“I love that he thinks Bad Bunny is the one guy in the world that’s fluent in Spanish: ‘[imitating Trump] Nobody understands. It’s a dead language.’” — JON STEWART

On “The Daily Show,” Jon Stewart said the right “has a lot of balls complaining that Bad Bunny didn’t do enough to unify this country when you all only found out a few days ago that Puerto Rico’s a part of it.”

Mr Bunny. 😆 I miss seeing Jon Stewart daily.

Oh no, someone put too much glorification of sex in my annual celebration of brain-damaging violence.

So adults shouldn't enjoy a show because they need to parent other children?

good luck with that

Coming from a UMC white suburban school, do you know how many white millennials can do that rap word for word?

Maybe its their culture too?

Lol, did he sing about that before, during, or after the women put on matching short shorts and twerked for 70million men and boys.

One thing that is clear TPUSA, etc really have no pull in American culture. It’s all fake astroturfing and twitter outrage bots.

It is just lying to say TPUSA are making a moral stand with kid rock. What a bunch of grifters.

Were all the Spanish obscenities bleeped?
Is that why the lyrics weren't heard hardly at all?

Did he even sing lyrics or just grunted with the music?
