It was all over Norwegian media that Trump said it was the worst half time show ever.
Therefore I unironically fully assume that it must have been the best fucking halftime show of all time, full stop.
He watched it at his own party and not the Kid Rock BS
It was great, definitely the best I’ve seen. Not just some generic gyrating dancers on stage… there was a whole story, a real couple got married and had their wedding cake as part of the story, there was dynamic movement and action throughout, all filmed very well. Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin made appearances. Lots of cultural symbolism. Oh, and music on top of all that. Plus I now have a low key crush on Bad Bunny cause he is just delicious.
You can have both.
A trauma bond so poweful that even when you mom abuses you, you still don’t wanna let go because being alone is anxiety inducing.
Emotional ambivalence isn’t only normal, it’s healthy. I love my partner for being my friend and supporter, but have also felt genuine hatred due to them not doing the work necessary to be a good spouse, leading to us separating.
The trauma bond is a bit different, though. It’s unhealthy ambivalence, where even the positive feelings are ultimately rooted in strongly negative behavior. I had one with my father, so I get it.
I remember when I was a kid, I used to cuddle with my mom, but now I think she just secretly despise me because I’m not young and cuddly anymore 😢
I didn’t watch the superbowl but I heard it was good. Not because I’m right-wing or anything like that. Also the Seahawks won so yay for them. I didn’t watch it because I’m not a big sports fan and I didn’t have a way to watch.
Same here, but I usually watch the half time on YouTube along with the ads
It’s horrible, just imagine if people would stop to hate each other… How would nazis get all the attention in a world like that?

Just want to say that halftime show was 🔥🔥🔥. I don’t listen to bad bunny normally, but I am now.
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.
Fuck yes, same.
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.
You must not have seen The Weeknd’s halftime show a couple years ago
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.
Lol
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.
The message is lost on those who love to hate.
We all need to go watch Bad Bunny on Tiny Desk to really appreciate the expert musicianship.
Edit: going to link to my own comment on another post asking about explanation of the halftime show’s references: https://lemmy.world/comment/22044314
I will upvote any tinydesk link. I love tiny desk, such a good way to discover music if you just let it run in the background while you work or whatever.
Its how I discovered Monsieur Perine and Hobo Johnson and the lovemakers.
Toxic empathy /s
Is it trying to get people from the Caribbean to play any version of football? Because I think they prefer bat and ball sports[1], and to be honest, I’m surprised Bad Bunny actually cares. I guess he’s in it for the prestige and fame? Did he already do something for the world series?
[1] : For some reason, Hispanic Caribbean countries like Baseball, while Anglophone Caribbean countries love cricket. I don’t know or understand why they prefer bat and ball sports this consistently. Like you’d think it would be a mixture, and some football or they’d all like baseball or cricket, but it’s divided among linguistic lines.
What? It had nothing to do with sports. Like yeah, its a Superbowl thing but the halftime show has long past been more of a cultural thing than a sports thing. People that perform at it likely don’t give a shit about the sport either way, and neither do many of the people that watch specifically (or only) the Super bowl.
The message was clear and it was aimed at every single person watching American or not, sports fan or not.
Imagine having the final of your favourite sport turn into an entertainment/cultural show …
Other than that, perfect platform to spread this message so yea
edit: the european mind can’t comprehend
American football, especially the Super Bowl, is a cultural event.
Agree that sport and culture have a lot in common, but at this point the sports-part feels like it’s merely a side event to the half time show
For many of us, that’s true. And that’s something present even at the college and high school football levels. Last night, I tuned in just for the halftime show and turned the game off after. Similarly, people at my college were known for leaving football games after watching the band’s performance at halftime. While football is a huge deal to many, there’s also a significant amount of people that only show up for the musicians.
It is a badly executed joke about which sport is popular for which cultural group and the abundance of Caribbean flags in the photo
EDIT : Yeah , you downvoters are right, they are obsessed with american football in St Kitts and Nevis
Its both a huge event and platform so it makes sense why artists would want to perform at the superbowl.
As for why he was picked, I think I’ve read some reports that the NFL is really trying to grow the sport in South America. Between the fact that they’ve saturated the US market and that every attempt to expand in Europe has been rough, I think they realize they don’t have many other choices.

US soft power is going to have a very hard time spreading any further than it has in the future.
