Two teens, both have heard of him but neither listen to his music although one had heard a few of his songs. And they speak Spanish but he isn’t an artist on their radar (before the Super Bowl).

Did not like the mumbling. Spanish is my second language but even the native speaker at my house couldn't understand a lot. Did not like the crotch grabbing and twerking. Those dancers were good enough to do so many interesting moves. They could have done more choreography and just leaned a little risque, not all in our faces.

I have heard that the Puerto Rican accent is somewhat more difficult to understand than Mexican/central American.

Puerto Rico has an electrical grid problem. They’re always having blackouts and brownouts.

Yes, she's 16 and into a variety of music.

14 year old son had not heard of him. Said he did not like the performance, and i tried to get him to articulate why. I think he was uncomfortable about the performance and found the all-spanish off putting. Humans are wired to be distrustful of others..... I tried to respect his view while gently probing the issue.

I have heard of BB but only because of headlines in recent years - like the SNL performance, grammy wins etc. Not my style music AT ALL. And we used to live in Miami, and reggaeton was everyone, and hated it then (20 years ago), and I don't really hear the difference between BB and generic reggaeton. So not sure the hype.

However.... with all that said, I actually thought it was a great, engaging half time show. For years, these half time shows have been weird choreographed short set lists where nothing really happens but they're bouncing around the stage trying to make 20 second snippits sound interesting. I thought it was really interesting to make it effectively a play last night, with people acting out a bunch of parts. I was more focused on the background and less on the music. I also thought the dancing was pretty tolerable compared to usual SB sets. I liked the mishmash of clothes, which made the female dancers feel less sexualized. Again, felt more like a play. So many SB half times are just filled with mostly naked women gyrating. To those complaining about his crotch grabs, didn't love it. Until i remembered JLo wearing the body suit and spreading her legs in front of the camera, and my 10 year old asking if we just saw her vagina because the gusset was about one inch wide. I'm not prudish at all, but it's weird that stuff like this is acceptable.

Anyhow, seemed like a fine show to me.

Anyways, did not like the music but loved the performance that shows all the Latin American immigrants coming to do the real labor in USA. I thought that was very powerful and a good FU to the man with small hands.

I got emotional and I loved the fact that the face of resistance was made public to the world. Woo Hoo!!

Yes I am also 60 and watched in on youtube this morning. Teared up. Hopefully 'merica got a little culture + geography lesson. Telephone poles very effective- sugar cane, culture, all of it. except lady gaga- what the freak was she doing there? who invited her? she never looked so white to me. Stay in your lane gaga!

I loved how chaotic the big dance was, compared to the militaristic style of beyonce - I'll take the chaos any time!

My son listens to him. He's not a mega fan but he was disappointed that Daddy Yankee didn't sing with Bad Bunny during the halftime show.

Son 22 does listen. Daughter 21 does not but knew who he is before ask the Superbowl stuff

Pls tell us how KKKlasy Kid Rock is instead.

Why don’t you ask Kid Rock’s Black woman drummer if she agrees with you.

Yeah; she is obviously a KKK member LOL.

But my kids aren’t quite teens and they just listen to whatever I play

So they’re robot copies of you without their own preferences? How odd.
