[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand why DCUM thinks it is so great to have so many women engaging in highly sexualized dancing on TV.[/quote]

Women are sexualized on TV and otherwise on a daily basis. White America tends to only grasp their pearls in horror when that woman is non-white. You all had the same whiny complaints about Shakira, JLo, and Beyoncé. We get it. You have a problem with black and brown joy. [/quote]
Okay, NP here. First off, I thought the show was great. I am not particularly into his music, but some of it was good. I find the same reggaeton beat throughout most songs to be boring and uncreative, but was glad he brought some salsa in though Gaga would not have been my choice. (FWIW, I listen to a decent amount of reggae and reggaeton and no it’s not Marley.) The show was vibrant, full of beautiful cultural vignettes and a real celebration of PR/America as it should be.

Secondly, I also didn’t understand why they cut to those dancers’ butts for like 30% of the opening songs. I am no pearl clutcher, but it had nothing to do with them not being white. I also take issue with the objectification of white women. They were fantastic dancers, but I don’t think the choreography was amazing in that regard. Whatever, I’ve moved on. But I will say, my daughters watching this is a lot like me watching MTV growing up and I absolutely internalized that stuff and it’s been problematic. I would be curious to know if they focused on their asses so much it were a female star, female director, female choreographer. [/quote]
