In reply to the discussion: I'm going to be the first person here to pan the halftime show. [View all]Sympthsical
(10,906 posts)15. And that's perfectly ok
I really enjoyed it. My partner was meh about it. A friend really hated it. All of us are Democrats.
I would never listen to Bad Bunny's music - it's just not my wheelhouse. But I enjoyed the spectacle, the production design, the choreography, and the narrative structure. It was joyful, unifying, and celebratory.
But the music itself? That's all down to a matter of personal preference.
That said, there have been plenty of Super Bowls where the artist isn't my bag musically, but they still put on a great show. Then there are artists I enjoy musically whose performance was just meh (I recently rewatched Madonna's 2012 one, and man it felt tired).

But he was joyous, upbeat, happy. Singing and dancing. I was chair dancing along.

Good reviews are written by people who understand the material. Why would I read a book review by someone who doesn't

I haven't really enjoyed a televised SB halftime show for as long as I can remember.

It's okay to have something not be your taste, and to say so. But to think there isn't any symbolism or care put into

I loved it for tweaking Trump's nose. Viewers SB 1/2 time -- 100 mil+; Kid Rock -- 10 million. Cool!

Bad Bunny is someone I and others would listen too...you know if you don't like something than turn it off...

If the metric is "something I'd listen to", then no Super Bowl halftime show was any good.

I turned into Khrushchev on the set of the movie "Can-Can": "The face of humanity is prettier than its backside."

I would guess you are not in the age group that was the target market for this halftime show.

I feel like I must be living on some far off South Pacific Island with no internet.

On Sunday, I had the temerity to ask, "Oh, shoot, is that today?" And the room went silent.
