This does not make me a Bad Bunny fan. It’s as always, an awful halftime show.

I could not tell you one song of BB, but I found the show to be very good. The story telling I felt was amazing and the choreography was off the charts. I liked the end as well. The following message showed humanity and decency:

“The only thing more powerful than hate is love.”

Still my favorites halftime shows are: The Boss, U2 and Prince, but BB makes my top 5.

I love Latin "music" but this was Latin Trap, a subgenre of rap, and was aimed at a young audience.

And especially outside the US.

My guess is that they were bored to death throughout the first half of the football and turned the game off after Bad Bunny AND won't tune in ever again.

Next year the NFL needs to find a Chinese performer... and some offense.

I’m not sure why you think any one was angry about the halftime show - as posted - most halftime shows tend to suck and this one didn’t escape that norm. As noted by Shadow - Prince halftime show was decent and I’d agree.

On a side note - I listen to Bad Bunny frequently as he’s on Spotify around here- I get the vibe. I just didn’t like the halftime show - and I do wonder how it came off as a live show with ticket holders. My comment wasn’t political.

But thanks for your post angry old Westhill white man.

She didn't care much for Usher's halftime show a couple of years ago, but didn't feel compelled to run to the internet to post her feelings.

The Cubans are very prejudiced against all other Hispanics and especially Puerto Ricans, and she doesn’t like getting lumped in with all that stuff. But I think she liked some of the family aspect of it and didn’t mind the music.

Like you, I like the Twerking booties best

It's only about NFL's marketing designs. It's for them to crunch the numbers.

And NFL fans, the same guys who go shirtless in 0 degree temps, the same guys who tailgate through thick and thin, the same guys who wear Viking horns and Bear heads go along with all this like clapping seals. Alrighty then.

It was a shit game. The periphery was puffery. Designed to appeal to the lowest common denominator.

I am not suggesting a Bach fugue arranged for string quartet.

Mardi Gras has its place. But so should championship football.

Something has changed and the game is becoming less interesting at the pro and college level. Saturation perhaps? But boy was last night not interesting.

Now that the NFL has rough and grizzled NFL fans watching and giving likes and dislikes about an effeminate halftime show, maybe the next step for NFL and its owners is to have these same rough and grizzled NFL fans watch and comment on a halftime Drag Queen extravaganza. Good grief.
