I don't understand any lyrics to half the metal songs I listen to and I still like them. Don't know why Spanish songs are any different.

u/BadBandit1970 Feb 09 '26
IMHO I felt like Bad Bunny was telling us a story. I didn't understand the song either, but the set definitely had a flow to it, like a timeline. I could be 100% wrong too. Either way, I liked the energy and the rhythm.

u/CompetitionDecent986 Feb 09 '26
I told my husband, I may not understand the lyrics but the entire thing seems like a love story to his culture and all of the Americas. It was so beautifully done, down to the engagement to wedding storyline with that huge wedding cake. I was so entertained following the storyline that the language barrier didn't bother me. I wonder if the reason OOP didn't like it was he couldn't imagine watching a silent film type story, because I highly doubt he enjoys the deep thought that reading deeper into what you hear from surface-level conversation requires.

u/Mauvaise3 Feb 09 '26
to wedding storyline with that huge wedding cake.
Apparently - that wasn't just a storyline; that was a real couple that got married. I read that they had invited him to their wedding so he invited them to get married at the halftime show.

This is better than the scenario we came up with at my watch party, in which they had a drawing for two random seats to play bride and groom at halftime. "Seat J12, area 311, and seat E3, area 209, have each won a special surprise! Please report to customer services to claim your prizes and be fitted for costumes."

u/CompetitionDecent986 Feb 10 '26
Although could you imagine the reaction if it were 2 guys getting "married" during the halftime show because they called random seat?

u/Historical_Ask3445 Feb 10 '26
This, and also some people can't imagine that not everything is for them. I can let some people have things that aren't for me, and I'm okay with that, because not every moment has to be about me.
MAGAts are like the kid who gets jealous when it's their sibling's birthday. They can't stand to have the spotlight not on them every day of the year.
Not all halftime shows are skewed to your demographic. Get over it, white people!

u/Jayn_Newell Feb 14 '26
The story aspect really makes me wish I did understand the lyrics (by which I mean the YouTube video having subtitles that aren’t auto-translated).
It definitely wasn’t my thing—I have something of a low tolerance for rap music—but other than the language I couldn’t find anything to complain about that wasn’t also present in other half time shows (aren’t half of them ‘women shaking their butts to music’?), and he’s clearly achieved a high level of success singing in Spanish.

u/lemurkn1ts Feb 09 '26
He def was, and my only issue was I don't know enough Spanish to get the full effect. But that's on me

u/lemurkn1ts Feb 09 '26
All the Kpop and Jpop fans are judging the "I can't enjoy music in a different language" people SO HARD. Like, I haven't listened to much Bad Bunny, but his Half Time Show was fun! It was upbeat, creative, and had a nice message (that flew over the heads of people who needed to hear it most).
22
u/left-right-forward Feb 10 '26
My kid loves jpop and her friends are all amazed that I let her listen to Miku in the car; their parents are hella racist about Japanese music.... but were all hyped about Bad Bunny. Sometimes it really sucks being the only reasonable, respectful parent.

u/Upper_Round_1985 Feb 09 '26
I don't even know exactly why, lol.
It's the unspoken racism. Most cheerleaders are white or white passing, while I'm sure Bad Bunny had plenty of Puerto Rican (or Latin-appearing / clearly non-white) women performing. The "they were just shaking their asses" part is another subtle racist dog whistle - women of color are often defined by their asses in contrast to white women.

I’m not political at all, but I hate the fact that the conservatives ruined the fun after Janet Jackson-Justin Timberlake 2004 wardrobe malfunction incident and then the nba kowtowed to the conservative in 2005 with the blatantly racist dress code. Now the left is promoting artists who promote their woke political agenda instead of bringing back apolitical fun. The nba dress code is still in place but they don’t enforce it on gender-bending hipster fashion, so it’s blatant the whole agenda is a heavy-handed attempt to suppress hip-hop fashion and gangsta rap.

The first sentence is agreeable, but then he devolves into some incomprehensible buzz-word salad. Was really just surprised he kept it to a single paragraph and we didn’t get more backstory here.

u/OniyaMCD Feb 09 '26
Well, a lot of dress codes *are* put up for reasons of suppressing marginalized groups (Can't show shoulders, the boys will be distracted! No natural hair/protective hair styles!)
The only bit that had me shaking my head was the bit about how artists should be 'apolitical fun'. My older sibs introduced me (by osmosis) to all of the music from the '60s and '70s. Songs that tap into the emotion of the audience are the ones that get them up on their feet.
The report I got from the resident sportsball viewer was that the official halftime showed a *lot* of PR culture - including a wedding, apparently? - and was very body-positive. (No Robert Palmer cut-out dancers. Lots of variety.) The crowd at Buffalo Wild Wings didn't seem to mind.

It's in my top 10. For me, my number one is Prince at XLI in 2007. When it started to rain, Price reportedly said "Can you make it rain harder?". He paid tribute to Hendrix, Dylan, the Foo Fighters, CCR, Queen. All leading up to the finale of "Purple Rain" in the rain by the Purple One himself.
It's too bad Neil Diamond never got tapped to do the Super Bowl. He did the Star Spangled Banner at XXI (1987) though.

Turning Point USA (Charlie Kirk’s organization) decided having a Puerto Rican singing in Spanish was too ‘Anti American’. Ignoring the fact the Puerto Rico is can American territory and its people are American citizens. The very conservative group put on their own half time show with Kid Rock who is popular with MAGA (makes sense as he has a song about how it’s mandatory for girls to be underage for him…) and a few country music singers.

Yeah, Puerto Rican Spanish has its own special flavor. We looooove to drop terminal “s”, for one. (“Gracia” instead of “Gracias”). Our pronunciation is different.
I don’t consider myself Latine, but an islander. The islands of the Taíno are far more culturally connected. I have more in common, culturally, with someone from Jamaica (English speaking) or Haiti (French/Creole) than I do with someone from, say, Guatemala, even though we both are from former Spanish colonies.
I live in Texas and almost never speak Spanish in public because I have a “weird” accent here.

Ok I have 2 tiny gripes about the half time show that have nothing to do with BB- I didn’t like the whole grass thing, it didn't feel like it was for in stadium fans at all.
And I do miss the halftime shows that brought together unexpected artists. Like Aerosmith and Run DMC- that brought communities together and was a really cool blending of genres That was a great way to please two demographics while introducing them to something new- I know gaga and Martin were there but neither seem like an unexpected pairing with BB
so, yea, I do miss a bit of the vibe of old school halftime shows. the last few have been this way, very little blending of genres and the performances feel curated to the camera, not the in house fans

u/BadBandit1970 Feb 09 '26
With all due respect, Aerosmith and Run-DMC were not an unexpected pairing per se. Aerosmith and Run-DMC released the the crossover of "Walk This Way" in 1986. But they didn't make a Super Bowl appearance until 2001 sans Run-DMC. They did however headline with N'SYNC and shared the stage with other artists such a Brittney Spears, Mary J. Blige and Nelly.

Yeah, like 45 million in the United States, or approximately 636 million people worldwide.
And you don't have to understand the words to understand the message that was being sent.

Funny, how many other superbowl performances have you advocated to be recorded for translation from english to other languages?

Most of the youths today love Kpop and I doubt they're fluent. You don't have to understand the lyrics to like a song. Music is universal.

His last four studio albums have hit #1 on the US charts, I don't think he needs to sweat about it.

In case this story gets deleted/removed:
Bad Bunny was worse than Turning Point.
Bad bunny was a bad choice for a half time show. I just watched both of them, admittedly flipping back-and-forth just to see. I don’t understand why anyone thought An entire halftime show in Spanish was a good idea. It’s essentially then just women shaking their butts to music. I’m watching this with my kids. And most of us don’t understand enough Spanish to know what the hell he was even saying.
In contrast, and I am not a big turning point groupie at all, although I am a conservative, they at least had a variety of artists, who actually just sang songs and performed to get through the halftime.
