    Just want to say that halftime show was 🔥🔥🔥. I don’t listen to bad bunny normally, but I am now.

      I didn’t watch the halftime show. I don’t listen to him and likely will not in the future, but I do enjoy the fact that his existence forced the MAGA boomers I work with to suffer a kid rock performance. Thanks Bad Bunny.

        Not sure what kind of music you’re into, but I didn’t think I would like Bad Bunny either. After he won the Grammy, I decided to give it a listen and was shocked at how much of his music I liked.

      I heard him for the first time yesterday, just to know what I was in for. Dude is incredibly popular on YouTube! First video had a billion views!

      And the spectacle of it all! Outside of last year, this was one of the most entertaining halftime shows I can remember.

        I listened to him after the Grammys. Found I loved many of his songs.

        Prince’s halftime show will always be the greatest ever. But this was close.

          I’m back. Loved the marching band segment. But I don’t know how I feel about homie’s hypocrisy singing about getting “blitzed” and having all his parties completely sober, despite being an opiate addict himself.

            I guess I’m done waiting…

            Yeah, Prince kinda sucked as a person at that point I think. But the show was everything I wanted from a prince set.

              You do know I left another comment that started with “I’m back” right?

              Or are you terminally fucking dumb?

                    No, just witnessing somebody being a massive asshole for literally no reason is shocking. What the fuck is the point of that?

                    Can you imagine somebody might reply to a comment before reading the next one? That such a foreign concept to you? I even commented on the other one already, which you might have seen if you read all your comments before replying.

                    I’d tell you to get off the internet, but I’m willing to bet people in real life don’t want to deal with you either.

      I dont either, and only heard some of his stuff before. I also am never a huge fan of most of the half time shows, but this one seemed to work well and was unique. I especially liked the end where he celebrates all countries, the dig without being a dig.

      That was some of the worst sound I’ve ever heard in a musical number, basically anywhere. You can like the story, you can like the visuals, but objectively he sounded like shit.

        Clearly we’re in the minority, but I did not think it sounded good at all. It’s a hard event (even acoustically), and he clearly was singing live, but it felt like he was struggling to keep up with the beat. Although I’m also very hit or miss with rap, so I’m also probably biased.

        The message and showmanship was good and regardless of how it sounded, I think people will talk about this performance for a long time.

        I remember Kendrick Lamar’s sound was pretty bad. But that was the audio coming through the tv. When they released the video on YouTube, it sounded much better.

        I honestly didn’t think this had bad sound, though.

        Most sports arenas have shit acoustics, so it makes sense that the sound quality is bad

        You are objectively correct, all the downvoters just feel like anything other than praise is an attack on their identity.
